Army Helps Stop Oahu Forest Fire on Maui and Beyond
Army and civilian firefighters from Schofield Barracks joined about 100 soldiers and 10 state forestry workers to contain a week‑old forest fire in northern Oahu. The effort, completed by Tuesday, followed national guard and local agency cooperation. The report then shifts to a separate, lengthy data‑heavy census framing about black officials in U S legislatures and cities, noting regional distributions, key states, and representation patterns, including Missouri and Georgia with notable counts and Pittsburgh’s council representation. The article interleaves two distinct items, ending with a note on voting rights expansions in 1965.
