Hill Trial to Begin in Jonesboro on Murder Charge
The first degree murder trial of Leslie David Hill, 45, of Jonesboro, Ark., set for Wednesday in circuit court, was delayed after Judge John Mosby quashed the petit jury panel amid defense claims that 700 of 1,000 master-list names were improperly chosen and not drawn from current voter rolls.

Foreign Aid Change Faces Opposition in House Hearing
President Nixon’s plan to overhaul U S foreign aid faced stiff opposition in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Lawmakers criticized splitting aid into military and development programs and ceding control to international institutions, with a 3.1 billion dollar top line for next year and 1.7 billion for the following two years. The proposal also creates new agencies to replace the Agency for International Development and to coordinate military aid under the State Department. In the Senate, a disruption by protesters interrupted normal business as a $1.5 billion desegregation aid bill advanced after demonstrations.
