Police halted the marchers and minutes later a man stabbed TV cameraman George Romilly, 28, breaking his camera though the Vietnam veteran was not injured.

Safety standards for motor scooters and autos in 1968
A government committee rejected adding a cost factor to safety standards and rejected criminal penalties for manufacturers. Fines up to 400000 dollars apply for related violations, with $1000 per incident. The secretary may set injunctions, consult with states and industry, conduct extensive testing, and establish a traffic accident research center. Interim standards expected for 1968 models, based on seat belts dashboards and other devices, will take effect six months to a year after the secretary announces them, with possible extensions if major changes arise.
