Iowa House approves traffic fine bill amid court shakeup talk
In Des Moines the Iowa House voted 59 to 93 to approve a bill setting a uniform schedule of fines for minor traffic offenses. The measure aims to reduce court appearances by allowing officers to collect fines by mail, while opponents warn it advances a unified court system eliminating justices of the peace. The bill, linked to a broader court restructuring, moves to the Senate for concurrence. The same session notes report Cabinet shakeups and Lon Nol's resignation in Cambodia amid regional upheaval, with discussion of a new government and potential successors.

Supreme Court backs busing to desegregate schools
The unanimous court ruled federal courts may order busing to desegregate public schools and rejected strict racial ratio limits as a sole remedy. It upheld a 71-29 white to black ratio in Charlotte Mecklenburg as a starting point but allowed broader equity power to achieve unitary systems. The decision affirms the duty to eliminate racial discrimination and supports integrated education while preserving limited use of mathematical ratios. The ruling impacts Mobile county Alabama Clarke county Georgia and North Carolina’s anti-busing law as unconstitutional barriers to desegregation.
