Veterans Day Observances Highlighted by Parades and Protests
Traditional speeches and wreath layings mark Veterans Day but protests arise as some veterans boycott the Oct 25 observances. Congress moved the holiday to the fourth Monday in October for three day weekends. Arlington ceremony restrictions limit burials to certain groups. Events also in Austin and Camp Mabry include a noon memorial, Army band concert, and open houses. In New York City a 4000-strong parade is planned by American Legion and VFW. Vietnam Veterans against the War leader Jim Davis urges antiwar veterans to join with combat gear and mock guerrilla demonstrations in 50 cities nationwide.

Senator Ervin Fights ER Rights Plan Over Draft and Restrooms
Senate Democrat Sam Ervin rules out women in the draft and men’s restrooms while opposing the equal rights amendment’s reach through potential corrective provisions. He seeks to limit application where there are sex differences and to allow women to work as bartenders and wrestlers, framing outcomes as equal employment opportunities. He warns of tactics to kill the amendment if needed.
