Widow contests four-installment rule in Florida case
Leila Mourning of Dade County Florida refused the second installment on subscriptions bought from Family Publications Service Inc. A U.S. District Court ruling favored her, but in 1971 the U.S. Circuit Court in New Orleans held the Federal Reserve Board lacked authority to set the four-installment rule and violated due process. The rule requires full disclosure of total price, balance due after initial payment, extra charges, and other details.

City child death probe widens as autopsies fail to confirm abuse
Lawton police continue inquiry into the 16 month old boy who died at Children’s Hospital Oklahoma City from head injuries.

The baby’s mother, 33, was arrested after authorities learned the child was battered with internal injuries and a broken collar bone.
