Supreme Court OKs Unions Funding Politics and School Desegregation Rulings
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 2 that unions may establish internal campaign funds for presidential and congressional candidates, with funds segregated from other union money. In a separate decision, it barred new school district splits that hinder desegregation, stressing district lines remain secondary to dismantling racially separate schools. A third ruling barred protest handbills in a Portland shopping center. Justice Powell dissented on desegregation and four Nixon appointees dissented in the school case.

U S Jets Stop N Viet Thrust In Nervy Vietnam Action
U S B52 bombers carried out their heaviest raids of the war against North Vietnamese forces pushing toward Hue and My Chanh in South Vietnam. Abrams ordered maximum bomber use in the northern sector as enemy thrusts threatened Hue from north and west.

The weekly U S command summary reported 8 American KIA, 27 wounded, 18 American deaths from nonhostile causes, and 11 MIA in the ongoing offensive.
