Schorr Likely Safe From Contempt Charge Over Source
Washington AP television newsman Daniel Schorr apparently will not be cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to name his source behind a House intelligence report. Nine refusals and mixed committee votes leave a contempt resolution unlikely, while the panel prepares a report on its probe and security measures. Schorr, on paid leave from CBS, downplayed fears of punishment and asserted Congress cannot muzzle the press while protecting its materials. He had obtained the report after the House Select Committee on Intelligence published it and later orchestrated publication by Village Voice.

Blacks Return to Work as Cape Town Boycott Spreads
Johannesburg blacks resume labor after a three day general strike. In Cape Town a separate boycott gains pace with patrols by police and armed whites in colored and black townships. Up to midday no violence reported, but several hundred white residents patrolled Well ington overnight. Many firms crippled, essential services on skeleton crews, colored areas report closed stores, harbor activity slowed. Authorities say those joining the boycott face nonpayment.
