Fingerprint Key Lead In Valerie Percy Killing Case
Kenilworth authorities say a promising fingerprint not matching 20 home access suspects is the best lead in Valerie Percy slaying. A print on glass from a French door is considered the most important evidence to date. Coast Guard divers searched Lake Michigan near the Percy estate for a possible murder weapon, aided by a magnet-equipped iron drag bar, with the team resuming today. Crime lab chief Daniel Dragel expects fingerprint results in seven to ten days.

Anti-Protest Bill Heads for House Vote in Vietnam War Debates
The House is set to approve overwhelmingly a bill targeting antiwar actions such as aiding the Viet Cong and blocking troop trains after four days of hearings. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Joe R. Pool, faces little chance of becoming law as Senate leaders oppose it. Penalties could reach $20,000 and two years’ imprisonment for aiding enemies, with up to $10,000 and five years for obstructing military supplies or troops. Attorney General Ramsey Clark testified the bill is unnecessary and possibly infringing.

Reserve Callup Goes to Senate
The House passed a bill allowing President Johnson to call up up to 198000 reservists and National Guardsmen for active duty without a national emergency. The measure targets about 185000 men with short active duty, and about 68440 others not in organized units, and stems from a Senate pressure to curb reserve forces as a draft pool amid Viet Nam. The Senate had included a reserve callup clause in the defense bill, prompting the House action. As of June 30, reserves totaled 985229 men.
