The Los Angeles County counsel filed a brief with the U S Supreme Court arguing reporter Willam T Farr should remain jailed for refusing to reveal his sources.

County counters no new federal questions are raised and chances of relief are remote.

William T. Spalding, a veteran labor-relations attorney for management, told a Town Hall meeting that Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers Union is highly emotional and irresponsible in bargaining with growers. He described the UFWU as more than a union, a movement for Mexican American advancement, and warned its large, field-based committee hinders action. Wages he noted have risen sharply, and he cautioned the union must act more responsibly or risk a dim future.

Opened as the Loring Opera House in 1890, it hosted stars like Sarah Bernhardt and Otis Skinner and screened Birth of a Nation in 1915.
