New Channels Anticipated For CB Fans
FCC chief engineer Ray Spence announced in mid June that 45 citizen band channels will be authorized in a July FCC announcement, adding 17 new channels plus five Class Cc control channels to the existing 23 CB air lanes, with formal confirmation expected. A July 31 to August 1 CB Convoy in Dothan Alabama is touted as a major country music event featuring Hank Williams Jr. and others. The FCC has suspended type acceptance approvals for new CB transceivers, conducting its own testing after all previously submitted models failed. A St Petersburg high school Mod Squad CB club reports fewer thefts and vandalism, while an Ohio woman sues neighbors for $375,000 over CB radio slander.

Senate panel votes to restore Debs citizenship rights
The Senate Judiciary Committee backed restoring Eugene Debs's citizenship, citing his advocacy for unemployment insurance old age pensions and women’s rights. Sen. Birch Bayh led the push saying Debs was ahead of his time while Sen. Strom Thurmond reluctantly lifted an objection to allow a vote. Debs died in 1926 after a sedition conviction and a 20 year jail term later commuted in 1921. Bayh noted Debs was born in Terre Haute and urged action by the 50th anniversary of his death.
