Hearing on Portsmouth City Charter Revisions
The City Charter Commission held the second public hearing led by chairman Robert A. Shaines, amid a small turnout of about a dozen. Debate focused on whether to present a referendum with separate questions or a fully drafted charter, with City Council intent and Chapter 49A of 1963 complicating the process. Rep Ralph C. Maynard remained optimistic about a new charter possibly arising in a special legislative session next year, or else a rewritten charter in 1971. Walter Barrett of the Portsmouth Teachers Association urged political participation by teachers while respecting state law, with Maynard suggesting limits on employment if elected. Splaine praised for 36 proposals, urged a written report answering feasibility, and proposed a charter development day to aid public understanding. Lawrence and Shaines clashed over Chapter 494 and the charter’s vehicle, ending with a note to turn to page three.

DA to Call Witnesses in Kennedy Chappaquiddick Inquest
Boston AP reports Dist Atty Edmund Dinis said an inquest into Sen Edward M Kennedy July 18 auto accident will call all witnesses with information. Kennedy may testify but Dinis did not confirm. Judge Boyle declined Dinis request, citing unclear grounds, as inquest statute allows action in cases of death by external means. Miss Mary Jo Kopechne died in the wreck near Chappaquiddick Island. Kennedy escaped unharmed and Kopechne drowned.
