Sailors riot at Great Lakes Navy base in rampage incidents
More than 300 sailors at Great Lakes Naval Training Center sparked a second straight night of rock throwing and clashes with police. Six sailors and five officers were injured. five sailors were charged with mob action and 16 detained for curfew violations. The disturbance followed widespread dining and bar harassment concerns, with 200 sailors scaling the fence and damage across the business district. A separate report from Washington notes a Black hypertension task force proposing a 20 year national program to reduce high blood pressure in blacks through screening and education.
