Taxpayers File More Suits Against Garrett
Two additional taxpayers lawsuits were filed in Hempstead County Circuit Court against former County Judge A. G. Garrett. March 13 saw Monroe Kent sue Garrett and Duckett Equipment Co. seeking return of a caterpillar tractor and other gear plus fair rental from 1959. Kent alleges the Duckett firm bought and retained county equipment with no payment. On March 14 B W Edwards filed to recover county equipment including a 1958 air conditioner valued at 250, a 1939 Underwood typewriter valued at 356.17 and surveying gear from 1959 valued at 600. Edwards claims the county owns these items but they are not in county possession. A third suit names Garrett and Harry Robinson for an allegedly illegal sale of a truck, later returned to the county, with details left undetermined. The Edwards suits were filed by attorney James J. Pilkinton.

UN Urges Action Against South Africa For Apartheid
The United Nations Special Political Committee pressed for punitive measures against South Africa's apartheid policies including an economic and diplomatic boycott. The African sponsored plan gained weight but failed to reach the two thirds required for final approval in the General Assembly, leaving a mild resolution as likely.
