CBS Plans Study of Violence in TV Programs
CBS president Dr. Frank Stanton said the network will meet with producers and writers to discuss de-emphasizing violence in current productions. The move follows criticism after King's and Kennedy's deaths and President Johnson’s call to the FCC to cooperate with a violence study. The network will cooperate, but a causal link between on screen violence and real life violence may take considerable time to determine.

Bonelli Pushes Shell Sales Ban on Ungun Owners
County Supervisor Frank G. Bonelli proposes banning shell sales to anyone without a registered gun. He would extend registration requirements to long and short barreled weapons and require a gun registration certificate to buy shells. Bonelli seeks state and federal support for registration legislation, citing 1967 firearm homicide figures in the United States.
