Kennedy calls for federal reform to end criminal justice inequities
Attorney General Robert F Kennedy urged an unemotional push to end injustice in criminal justice. He announced a new Justice Department office of criminal justice led by James Vorenberg to study law enforcement and ensure equal access to counsel, while expanding data collection and exploring reforms such as using summons instead of arrest. The proposal emphasizes reducing the gulf between law enforcement and individual rights advocates.

Preparedness Theme Urged By Goldwater
Washington AP Barry Goldwater urged a peace through preparedness approach at the National Association of Counties conference. He argued the United States would not have entered Vietnam or Korea had the enemy believed the U.S. would act, citing World War II lessons and current naval tensions in the Gulf of Tonkin.
