Church Suit Dismissed Over Church as Entity
A Richmond chancery judge dismissed a suit challenging First Baptist Church of Richmond admitting two Nigerian students, Ade Oshoniyi and Gideon Adegbile, to membership. The ruling said the church must be named as the defendant for the court to rule, noting the complaint targeted actions by the church as an entity. The church, led by Dr. Theodore F. Adams, has about 4,000 members and formed a policy committee at the same Jan 20 1965 meeting.

Virginia legislature tightens tax and driving bills at session end
Virginia lawmakers approved a broad tax program and minor relief measures including raising dependent exemptions from 200 to 300 for 1968 and sheltering the first 2000 of retired Federal Civil Service pay from tax. The Assembly backed an auto titling tax concession for 1966 model cars sold in a defined period, while 1967 models remain taxed. Senate pay raises would nearly double members’ two year pay from 1800 to 3300, with per diem and monthly allowances. Local utility tax parity bills passed and governors aides pressed on an Implied Consent drunk driving bill, with amendments to lowered blood alcohol standards and impaired driving thresholds, all awaiting final House-Senate action. Senate approved junkyard regulation including city streets, in a 33-3 vote.
