Rights Commission Opens Two Day Memphis Hearing
The U S Commission on Civil Rights opened a two day Memphis hearing amid protests from the segregationist Memphis Citizens Council. Brooks Norfleet challenged the process claiming the hearing is rigged while police officials said Memphians accept integration as an eventuality. About 35 witnesses, civic and business leaders, were subpoenaed to testify on civil rights topics as Norfleet demanded invitation to testify. In Oakland, California three officers were injured and seven Negroes were arrested after a confrontation at a cafe and police station.

Supreme Court Declares California Drug Law Unconstitutional
The Supreme Court invalidated a California statute that made it a crime to be addicted to narcotics or to use unprescribed narcotics. Justice Stewart, delivering the decision, said imprisoning an addicted person as a criminal is cruel and unusual punishment under the 14th Amendment. Justice White dissented in part and Justice Clark also disagreed. Frankfurter took no part.
