Louisiana Supreme Court preserves labor commission legality
The Louisiana Supreme Court upheld the Labor Management Commission of Inquiry as constitutional, reversing a lower court ruling that deemed it unconstitutional. The suit by Patrick Martone, a Baton Rouge area construction worker facing an arson indictment from 1963, was dismissed at his cost.

Arkansas Supreme Court Drops Contempt Action Against Davis
The Arkansas Supreme Court set aside the contempt citation against former State Police Director Lynn A. Davis for refusing to name a confidential informant to a Grand Jury. The 6-1 ruling says the record is too meager to decide guilt or innocence and notes the informant privilege is qualified, not absolute. Davis was jailed briefly in December after the request, and the court later held he was ineligible to be director due to a residency requirement.
