Supreme Court Lets Austin Busing Plan Stand
The Supreme Court upheld a ruling that could drive wide busing to desegregate Austin Texas schools. The decision preserves a 25,000 student desegregation order and signals a narrower approach to integration favored by three justices. Austin’s district serves 81 schools with 15 percent Black, 23 percent Mexican American, and 62 percent Anglo students.

Defense set to dismantle Estes case with taped talks
In Dallas two days are planned for defense attorneys to counter prosecutors who presented 29 hours of taped conversations and testimony from businessmen claiming they were bilked by parolee Billie Sol Estes. The defense argues the evidence relies on unproven gear and forged documents as Estes and associates face charges of defrauding four leasing companies of over 500000 and using Pyron's name to secure loans.
