Court Facilities Serve As A Second Black Eye
Edward McGrath reports on Franklin County debate over adding court facilities to proposed jail plans. Judge Coffman argues the jail lacks proper courtroom space and risks sloppy justice, while county commissioners push for a jail only. Readiness to expand district and probate rooms, heat and acoustics concerns, and past attempts to hold trials in nonstandard spaces highlight the drive for suitable court facilities alongside the jail project.

Cambodians Recapture Pich Nil Pass on Highway 4

The pass, last enemy-held on Highway 4 to the sea, had been cut by North Vietnamese seizures last November, leaving only that stretch under NV and allies. U.S. helicopters hovered as more than 1,000 marines faced little resistance and pressed northward toward Kompong Som.
