Haircut appeal denied in Airman Doyle case at Dyess Base
Federal judge in Albuquerque refused to free Airman August Doyle awaiting review of his court martial disobedience conviction over his Afro haircut at Cannon AFB New Mexico. Judge Bratton lacked jurisdiction as Doyle is now held at Dyess AFB Texas. Doyle, sentenced to 90 days hard labor, plans an appeal to the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans contending the haircut protects cultural identity under the Constitution.

Defendant Wins Civil Suit Here
A Workmen's compensation case in 137th District Court ended when Judge James A. Ellis granted a defense motion to withdraw the case from the jury and denied any recovery for Cartston Tumlinson of Lubbock from Pacific Employers Indemnity Co. Tumlinson sought 14035 dollars for back injuries sustained July 14 1968 while employed as a salesman driver for Weldon Reichert Inc, a Lubbock beer distributor. A jury in Judge Robert H Bean's court was to hear final arguments today in a separate suit by Raymond Hefner against International Security Life Insurance Co for hospital and medical claims from May through August 1968 totaling 2302.20 dollars. The text also mentions theories about billions of stars with planets and warmer temperatures in the universe.
