Governors Seek Concessions in National Guard Overhaul
A seven man committee led by Gov. Ernest Vandiver of Georgia meets Secretary of the Army Cyrus Vance in Washington to press for compromises on the plan to reorganize the National Guard. The goal is to retain readiness while trimming units and preserving governor approval for state changes. The group argues for a brigade-based structure alongside the four divisions and seeks authority above 400 000 men during the year. The governors include Clyde of Utah, Erbe of Iowa, Reed of Maine, Dalton of Missouri, Gage of Wyoming and Barnett of Mississippi.

Atlanta Barricades Upheld in Southwest Atlanta Racial Tension
Municipal Court Judge Robert E. Jones upheld the city barriers between black and white neighborhoods in southwest Atlanta. The ruling denied a suit by black and white residents to remove the wood and steel barricades erected December 18 after mayor Ivan Allen Jr. and the board of aldermen approved ordinances. The judge said the roads were not public streets once the ordinances were approved, affirming city control over streets per 1919 Georgia Acts. He noted motive is not a judicial inquiry. White homeowners said the barriers create a racial buffer amid pressure on Whites to sell homes to Black residents.
