Warren Commission Critiques FBI and Police Conduct
The Warren Commission criticizes the Secret Service FBI Dallas police and the press for laxness and misjudgments before and after President Kennedy's assassination. It cites gaps in guarding the motorcade reviewing the Oswald case and chides nine agents for late night rule violations while faulting the FBI for overrestrictive preventive intelligence and misdirected information sharing. The Dallas police transfer of Oswald is called unsound and press briefings are blamed for spreading erroneous, misleading statements.

Iowa highway panel probes cost of road surface switch
The Iowa legislative interim committee, with highway commissioners Derby Thompson and Harry Bradley Jr. on the witness stand, examined why 14 miles of Interstate 80 in Iowa and Johnson counties were changed from Portland cement to asphalt. Thompson said he backed the switch to keep cement and asphalt firms competitive but admitted he would not have approved it if he knew maintenance would be costlier. Ned Willis estimated maintenance costs at 170 dollars per mile for cement vs 807 dollars for asphalt. The panel has yet to prove wrongdoing as it reviews the decision and cost data.
