Contempt case looms as Wallace faces desegregation bids
Gov. George C. Wallace stood for a possible civil contempt ruling in federal court as NAACP lawyers pressed to speed school integration in Alabama. The motion seeks to hold the governor in contempt for violating a 1964 injunction and to order total desegregation, plus restraint on enforcing a new antiguidelines law and undoing actions under it. The NAACP also asks desegregation of all public schools and penalties against noncompliant districts.

James Marlow analyzes how Johnson’s 1966 civil rights bill lifting stalled after its defeat coincides with the new appointment of Nicholas Katzenbach as undersecretary of state. The piece notes Katzenbach’s role as Johnson’s chief architect and spokesman on civil rights and his long involvement with Ball’s anticipated resignation and legislative battles.

Katzenbach to State as Ball Leaves Cabinet
In a whirlwind reshuffle, President Johnson moved Nicholas Katzenbach from attorney general to undersecretary of state, succeeding Ball who resigned Saturday. Katzenbach’s downgrade required his resignation from the Cabinet and a $5,000 pay cut, positioning him as Dean Rusk’s No. 2 at the State Department while leaving Rusk’s future unclear. Newsroom chatter notes Katzenbach’s inexperience in foreign affairs but praises his resolve, with speculation he may succeed Rusk in time. The White House also staged an unusual Tuesday night briefing by Johnson ahead of Wednesday’s announcement.

Legislation to Legalize Grid Merger in Senate Action
The Senate takes up a measure to legalize the NFL AFL merger steps already taken and limit antitrust action. The plan would combine 15 NFL and nine AFL teams into one league, add two more by 1968, and aim for a championship game, a unified draft, and interleague preseason games. The bill follows House resistance to full antitrust exemption.
