Berkeley Elects New Council With Three Radicals Defying Pledge
Berkeley’s nine member City Council welcomed three radical newcomers who refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance while the rest, including Mayor Warren Widener, recited it. Widener won a narrow Mayoral victory and backed Rick Brown for an empty council seat amid threats against conservative challenger John DeBonis. The session followed antiwar actions that day as demonstrators attacked a draft board office and bank branches, injuring a secretary and detaining one man.
