Arrests Rise as Busing Begins in Boston Integrations
On the first day of the desegregation program in Boston, police and U S Marshals backed by National Guard troops patrolled schools and bus routes. About 100 arrests were made, mostly for disorderly conduct, as white protests and a burn in effigy accompanied black students entering schools. Attendance varied across districts, with preliminary figures showing roughly one fourth to one half of projected enrollment in eight elementary and four high schools.

Republicans Pick Kansas City for 1976 Convention
The Republicans chose Kansas City as the site for the 1976 nominating convention after 34 hours of closed talks, signaling a midwestern setting with housing constraints cited against Cleveland. Some delegates will stay in Topeka and St Joseph, while Cleveland offered ships and modular housing but would still require delegates traveling to Akron. The event will be the party's largest yet with about 2,200 delegates and an equal number of alternates, starting August 18. Democrats will meet July 22 in New York.
