Supreme Court bans enforcement of racial real estate covenants
The Supreme Court ruled that neither state nor federal courts can enforce racial real estate covenants. Private agreements restricting sale or occupancy by minorities violate the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the 14th Amendment, though the covenants themselves remain technically valid. Reactions varied as families and real estate officials weighed long term effects and potential evasion.

Bill Aimed at Press Leaks Favored by House Panel
Washington May 4 The House Rules Committee approved a bill to punish leaks of confidential information given to congressional committees.
