General Admits Bombings Ordered by Lavelle
Ousted air commander John D. Lavelle testified he ordered unauthorized strikes against North Vietnamese targets last winter to hinder Hanoi's invasion of the South. He said the actions began in January and ended March 10 after falsified reports surfaced. Lavelle defended his choices, while Air Force Chief Gen. John D. Ryan said Lavelle was fired for 28 missions violating rules. Washington coverage notes China condemned U S raids as threats to its security and tallies U S strikes across North Vietnam, including rail lines, bridges, warehouses, and losses reported among pilots and aircraft.

Supreme Court extends right to counsel to all defendants
The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 that all defendants facing potential jail time are entitled to a lawyer at trial if they cannot afford one. Justice Douglas said the right applies to felonies and petty offenses, changing courtroom practice in many states. The decision, joined by most justices, narrows the line between crime categories for counsel. It was paired with a separate ruling upholding the exclusion of Black guests at a Moose Lodge in Harrisburg, pa, amid race and license issues.
