Doesn't Have To Defend Prison Research Program
Oklahoma Governor Henry Bellmon said the Board of Affairs need not explain its takeover of the McAlester state penitentiary medical research program. He brushed off a premature letter from the McAlester Chamber of Commerce and noted the board will act for the state's good. The program tests new drugs and produces blood plasma, with controversy over job impact and ties to a law firm receiving a monthly retainer. Bellmon skipped a meeting but said officials would discuss the program later.

All Cuban Assets Frozen By US
The United States froze all Cuban assets in the U S and banned unlicensed financial or commercial transfers with Cuba. The Treasury move, effective immediately, targets about 33 million in U S assets and aligns Cuba with other Communist states under tighter rules. Refugees abroad are unblocked nationals unless acting for the Castro regime. The action follows the July 3 OAS resolution and is a unilateral policy with hemispheric backing.
