Supreme Court Hears Dissent Over Draft Card Law
The Supreme Court questioned whether burning draft cards is symbolic speech protected by the Constitution as the ACLU argues. Justice Fortas and Justice Harlan pressed limits, while Chief Justice Warren asked about a soldier breaking a weapon in protest. Twenty one youths have been indicted under the 1965 law, with fourteen convicted. David O'Brien, a 19 year old pacifist, burned his draft card in Boston in March 1966 and handed the charred card to the FBI.

Fairbanks entrepreneur L Donald Pruhs who got an SBA disaster loan after the August flood defends his Arizona land purchases. Rep H R Gross asserts 203100 dollars in Arizona land followed an 894000 SBA loan, citing down payments on 160 acres in Yuma County and 640 acres later. Pruhs says the land value was far below the loan and that he and his wife bought the land as an investment with a 3000 dollar down payment.
