Butz vowed immediate action to improve corn prices after being sworn in.

Judge rules Klansman can keep city job in Charlotte case
Federal Judge James B. McMillan ruled that membership in the Ku Klux Klan is not a basis to fire a city employee. Harold Murray a Korean War veteran and former dispatcher in Charlotte's building inspection department was dismissed after three weeks. The city argued public knowledge of his Klan leadership would deter blacks from calling the department. The court found no evidence to support that claim and ordered further talks on remedy. Murray lives in Little River South Carolina.
