Prodigal elephant story looms over North Carolina roads
In Charlotte, North Carolina, handlers struggle to coax Vicki the six year old elephant from a wooded retreat near a busy highway after arriving from an amusement park. Officials threaten a final week to retreat if the elephant does not return unaided, warning they may have to shoot if required. The situation drew amid other oddities including a raccoon named Peanuts finding a home with a rabbit, and various small court and traffic anecdotes from New Orleans and beyond.

IRed Leaders Drop Fight for Retrial in New York
Eleven imprisoned Communist leaders withdrew a bid for a new trial on charges of conspiring to teach and advocate violent overthrow of the government. The motion was defeated twice by Federal Judge Edward Drimmock. A friend said prison terms will end for some within months and others soon become eligible for release with time off for good behavior. The group, convicted in January 1953 and jailed in January 1954, claimed conviction based on perjured testimony. Names include Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and Louis Weinstock among others.
