ERI £-An Erle man receives a summons from the Bureau of Traffic Safety directing him to pay 1400 for financial responsibility tied to a March accident in Philadelphia, a city he hasn’t visited since 1953. Richard Vitale denies ever being in Philadelphia on March 23, 1963, or having his car there, and says he was at Bucytus Erle Co. work. Assemblyman Julian Polaski, who has resolved similar cases, will be asked to review the matter.

Wallace's Empty Defiance Moves Alabama Politics
A Washington analysis argues Governor George Wallace obeys federal orders only in appearance. It notes his staged stands against desegregation and Bible reading, his repeated capitulations when federal pressure mounts, and the broader risk of chaos if state and federal authority clash.
Wallace’s Defiant Protest at Southern Governors Conference
Wallace gathered four anti civil rights resolutions with Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett at White Sulphur Springs West Virginia on August 21, but the conference took no action on them and Wallace did not request any. He plans to defy federal school desegregation orders in Alabama, risking federal action if he continues. In a separate case, Robert P. Stalter, former secretary of the Printing Pressmen’s Union in Altoona, was fined $2 and given one day in jail for embezzling about $1,800 from the union.
