Job Corps Center May Go Co-ed
Excelsior Springs Missouri AP reports officials plan to submit to the Labor Department around January 15 a proposal for the local Job Corps Center to become coeducational.

Center director James D. Purgason notes coeducation better reflects real work conditions and community tensions have eased with officials stating relations are cordial. About 65 percent of the center staff are Excelsior Springs residents.

FBI operation stirred unrest in San Diego
An FBI San Diego memo described covert efforts against black militant groups in the 1960s that provoked unrest in southeast San Diego. Four people were killed and four wounded in clashes between Black Panther Party supporters and US, with posters and disinformation aimed at driving a rift. FBI officials claimed aims were disruption, not violence, and Hoover approved the cartoons used to deepen divisions.
