Woman Sues for Right to Be Umpire in Baseball
Long Island housewife Bernice Gara sues for the right to umpire in baseball, arguing gender does not affect judgment. She has retained Mario Biaggi to file with the State Commission on Human Rights, seeking discrimination relief. Gara, a magna cum laude graduate and former National Baseball Congress umpire, says she faced constant rebuffs and aims to bring the case to court if needed. The issue is described as one of constitutional rights and equal opportunity in sport.

Rockefeller Welcomes ABC Action But Sees Court Challenge
Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller said Arkansas ABC Board regulations allowing private clubs to serve mixed drinks are welcomed but likely to be challenged in court. He will not pursue mixed drink legislation in the next special session, but may support it if introduced in 1969. He noted some hotels and restaurants might seek permits to dispense mixed drinks and praised regulators for their cooperation with private clubs. The governor also urged state officials to address job discrimination against Negroes as he met with Employment Security Division officials to reduce workplace conflicts.
