Bias Unrest Blamed On Aloof Good People
CHICAGO AP Extremist minorities exploited the rights movement because the majority stayed aloof, says Ralph E. McGill publisher of the Atlanta Constitution. He warned that lack of action by businessmen, newspapers, churches, and clergy created a vacuum that allowed beatniks and radicals to inflame racial discontent. He spoke at DePaul University's 47th commencement after receiving an honorary doctorate. He warned against claiming communism drives race unrest and urged action to educate, employ, and help the unskilled.

Censorship Law in New York Void by Court of Appeals
Albany reports the New York Court of Appeals ruled the state film censorship law null and void after a Supreme Court ruling in March. The decision, tied to the 14th Amendment, affects procedures used by the Education Department for licenses, as the Danish film “A Stranger Knocks” was rejected twice for sexual content. Bills on censorship linger in the legislature, with no immediate comment from leaders. The ruling does not change prohibitions on obscene films or state law, only the state censorship process.
