Information Rules Given On Federal Crime Cases
The Justice Department issued new guidelines to balance fair trials and a free press in federal criminal cases. Guidelines bar release of defendants confessions and comments on reputation or evidence strength, and restrict fingerprint or lab results but allow basic arrest circumstances and prior federal convictions. An exception lifts restrictions for fugitives on the FBI ten most wanted list. The policy directs aides to reveal five categories of pretrial information including a defendant’s identity age address occupation and marital status.

Ball Defends U.S. Policy In South Viet Nam War
WILLIAMSTOWN The United States should not withdraw from South Viet Nam now as it would be disastrous for the free world, Under secretary of State George W. Ball told a Williams College audience. He argued for independence of Southeast Asia and warned withdrawal would undermine American credibility while stressing a mix of economic, political, and limited military means. He traced Viet Nam policy from 1954 through Kennedy and Eisenhower eras, noting infiltration and the Saigon regime’s fragility, and predicted more Allied flags in South Viet Nam in coming months. A separate brief Italian note reports a mother cat at Palermo adopting a fourth infant mouse after nursing three kittens.

Strike Looms As USW Rejects Offer
Pittsburgh AP. The United Steelworkers Union rejected a steel industry proposal to swap contract improvements for a May 1 strike deadline extension. Union president David J. McDonald voiced disappointment. Details on the cash value were not released, but a union source cited about five cents an hour for a 60 day to six month limited agreement. About 450,000 USW members are involved. Criticism from R Conrad Cooper accused the union of disunity fueling crisis bargaining and imports. Both sides eyed a possible 2 percent yearly wage rise and a potential extension of the contract beyond May 1 with 60 days notice. Main dispute centered on money over extension length.
