School Boycott Greeted Coldly In Cleveland
In Cleveland the civil rights boycott of city schools drew mixed reactions from school board members. Vice president John J. Gallagher blamed subversives for the protest while United Freedom Movement placement estimates ranged from 35,000 to 45,000 students attending the so called freedom schools. Antoine Perot of CORE asserted the schools could hold 35,000 capacity but attendance likely surpassed that. Less than 10 percent of students stayed home at some public schools as the district serves about 150,000 pupils with Negro enrollment up to 75,000.

FCC spares WCIU-TV over telecast of bullfights
The FCC refused immediate action against Chicago station WCIU-TV for televising bullfights and will revisit the issue at license renewal later this year. National Anti-Vivisection Society attorneys urged revocation or a cease and desist order, arguing Illinois law bans bullfights. The FCC said the Illinois statute appears to prohibit the events locally, not the showing of footage.
