Tom and Jerry Too Violent for TV in 1960s Push
Los Angeles AP reports that seven time Oscar winners Tom and Jerry are deemed too controversial for television. Hanna and Barbera regained rights from MGM and faced network rejection before ABC ordered 48 new seven minute cartoons for a Saturday morning series beginning Sept. 6. The creators insist the characters still charm with slapstick and action driven humor despite the shift to more socially acceptable scenarios.

Independence Declared Amid British Actions and Paine Hint
The piece traces the path to American independence starting with King George III’s stiff response to colonial pleas for peace. It notes the Continental Congress declaration on July 6 1775 and the Olive Branch Petition, followed by George’s August proclamation labeling rebels as traitors. By November 1 Congress learns Britain has declared them outlaws, with Paine’s Common Sense suggesting independence in January 1776 and the colonies formally acting six months later.

Los Angeles authorities disclose missing evidence in the RFK assassination case. The left sleeve of Kennedy’s coat and bullet-riddled ceiling panels from the Ambassador Hotel pantry disappeared, with panels destroyed in 1969 and no X rays made. The sleeve vanished before the trial, though Kennedy’s shirt is in court custody. Critics say the panels could reveal trajectory and bullet count.
