Refugee ship Pioneer Contender visits Long Beach
The 560 foot U S Lines freighter Pioneer Contender carried about 16 000 refugees during its third of four Vietnam evacuation runs. Captain Edward C Flink said deck fires burned rice heat and the ship bore battle scars from five weeks in combat zones. The vessel waited five days off Phu Quoc Island for landing, with water and food delivered before disembarking. No passenger deaths were reported.

Signal Hill School integration backed by black residents
A Long Beach group urged the Board of Education not to appease white protesters over Signal Hill School’s racial makeup. John Rambo of the Committee of Concerned Black Residents said black students at Signal Hill are capable and should not be moved purely because of race. The discussion follows years of boundary changes shifting black students toward Signal Hill from Burnett School, while Burnett sits in a black neighborhood. The board also heard a request to raise substitute teacher pay and fringe benefits, and to improve substitute handling and training.
