Sit Down Strike at State Penitentiary Over Warden Refusal
About 400 inmates staged a nine hour sit down strike at the State Penitentiary after Warden Zahradnick refused to meet with them to discuss grievances. Inmate editor Henry Clere said advance notice came from an inmate advisory committee, with a second meeting offered in groups over weeks, while officials consider a General inquiry into the incident. The strike followed two grievances including demand for Zahradnick’s dismissal and broader complaints about inmate clothing, appearance, movement, and visiting rules, and ended after state police and guards intervened.

Correction errors at Danville planning hearing corrected
The Danville Register corrects misattribution of a housing comment to Annie L. Martin of 321 Bryant Avenue. Margarite McCormick, planning commission secretary, says a speaker identified as Annie Martin was likely someone else. The paper also notes the commission denied a rezoning request to change seven lots on Fleklen Avenue from Re to R-3, contrary to earlier report, due to 8 percent neighbor opposition and missing plans from Claude A. Davis.

Boycott Largely Fails to Halt Albemarle Commerce
In Charlottesville Albemarle County the blacks boycott of white merchants shows little impact on most stores after its start to protest a black teacher’s firing. A Crozet food store reports a 30 percent drop in black customers, while a dozen other merchants say traffic remains steady.

The dispute also prompts calls to keep or remove both teachers involved, with community leaders urging legal action or dialogue. The meeting to explain the issues ends without resolution.
