Killer of Officer Attempts Death by Own Action

Rien L. Alameda, 26, a Los Angeles music teacher who shot and killed a California highway patrolman, attempted to kill himself in a Ventura city jail cell by slashing his throat with light bulb fragments. Alameda, handcuffed in a bare cell, removed a glass light cover seven feet from the floor, broke the bulb, and gashed his throat. He was treated at Ventura General Hospital and returned to his cell while psychiatrists assessed him.

Forecast Sees Larger Orange Crop Despite California Decline

An Agriculture Department forecast predicts an early and mid-season orange crop of 73.3 million boxes, up slightly from last year, with Florida up about nine percent. California shows a 22 percent drop in production. The national grapefruit crop is forecast at 45.2 million boxes with Valencia production at 43 million. Florida, California, and Texas are noted for varying crop conditions as the season begins. Meanwhile Senator McClellan calls a rackets probe into Hoffa and the Teamsters a matter for the courts.
