Wrong Little Pig Goes to Market
A faintly readable 1961 item reports Porky the pig rescued from Kansas City stockyards by Justin Dork of Gallatin Missouri. The pig will join Gallatin’s Crazy Day parade, amid a broader note on the Atomic Energy Commission ruling upholding construction prelicensing for the Enrico Fermi reactor at Lagoons Beach near Monroe Michigan. The Supreme Court split over AEC procedures, with Brennan preferring tentative safety findings before permitting construction and Douglas dissenting. The decision overturns a Court of Appeals ruling, while other cases touch on communist inquiries and unemployment allowances.
