Gas dealers back away from strike in Arkansas
In Little Rock, about 110 gasoline dealers of the Gasoline Retailers Association chose not to vote on a strike plan due to antitrust concerns. Temporary legal counsel Rep. David H. Pryor warned the group they cannot strike as a nonunion entity. Some dealers threatened to close stations if the Cost of Living Council does not act by Friday, while others would not honor government credit cards or serve government vehicles. An eyewitness described personal ruin from oil company pressure, urging collective action. Pryor urged individual decisions to avoid public harm. John M. Huemmrich denounced the Cost of Living Council head and suggested abolishing the council.

Rosh Hashanah Reflections On Jewish New Year
David Hendin contrasts secular New Year revelry with the holier observance of Rosh Hashanah. He notes it as a time of prayer, reflection, and repentance, marked by the shofar and the belief of a yearly divine judgment. The article cites Sept 26 as the Hebrew New Year 3734 and links the date to creation.

The article traces Rosh Hashanah from ancient one day observance to two days under Roman dispersion, then notes modern Reform and Israel practice returning to a single day. It explains the Ten Days of Penitence and Yom Kippur timing, closing with a respectful New Year greeting and a hope for universal adoption.

Their self titled Mercury album captures their hard street energy, with more heat than virtuoso skill. Also notes Lauritz Melchior’s 83rd year, reissues, and guitar duets by the Abreu brothers.

New Perry Mason on CBS Seeks True Revival Power
Hollywood reports that a revived Perry Mason series is filming on the 20th Century Fox lot with Monte Markham in the Mason role. The cast keeps the old character names but uses new actors and sets, aiming for a 1973 ecology aware, modern take despite comparisons to the original. Markham notes line memorization is essential and predicts a tough, no-break filming schedule as writers’ strike lingers.
