Hickel halts drilling as slick grows in Santa Barbara Channel
The federal government ordered a halt to all drilling on federal lands in the Santa Barbara Channel as a massive oil slick from a ruptured undersea well spread toward Los Angeles. Secretary Hickel cited lack of geological knowledge and directed firms to standby until the leak is sealed and safety concerns are resolved. Union Oil and major operators including Humble, Phillips, Mobil and Texaco are affected, with relief efforts using mud, barges, and a planned relief well within about 10 days.

Testimony backs Shaw Oswald conspiracy claim in Kennedy case
In Clinton Louisiana a short stocky Negro testified he saw Clay Shaw in a large black car while Lee Harvey Oswald tried to register to vote. William Dunn Sr. joined Corrie C. Collins in linking Shaw Oswald and Ferrie in the car. Dunn contradicted Collins on whether Shaw wore a hat and noted Shaw’s gray hair as a recognition aid. The defense pressed that the conspiracy charge lacked proper legal foundation.
