New Orleans Council Ousts Press Again in Session
The New Orleans city council forced reporters from its weekly informal session for a second time in two weeks, citing that press presence prevents candid remarks. Ronald Swayne, a five year-old Black boy, drowned at Lake Pontchartrain during a family outing. The Jefferson Parish school board approved a contract with a new bonding and construction firm for the parish’s long range school program. Captain Jack Stroh was temporarily suspended for careless handling of his service revolver after a mid air quick draw attempt wounded Tom Hall.
