White youths held in Birmingham slaying probe
Two white teenagers denied bond remained jailed in Birmingham as police pursued murder indictments for the shooting death of a Negro boy after the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing that killed four girls. A grand jury was to consider the church attack case and also probe a subsequent fatal stabbing by a Negro man, with off duty state troopers involved in a street clash. Amid national grief, James Baldwin urged Christmas boycotts to demand progress on civil rights while New York officials dedicated a day of sympathy for the slain children.
