Miles B Sines serves as Executive Editor while Sterling Bawht holds the role of Managing Editor. The two oversee newsroom operations, set editorial direction, and coordinate coverage across sections.
Assemblyman James A. Hayes pushes a bill to ban secret meetings by local boards and commissions. Forty one votes support but many oppose the Brown Act strengthening public access. The measure faces Senate passage with hopes it reaches the governor.
Onlookers see Humphrey and Rockefeller poised to influence Chicago and Miami Beach conventions. The piece argues that both parties risk dull, predetermined outcomes that could depress voter turnout and fuel splinter party gains. It notes Humphrey may shift the Democratic race and Rockefeller or Reagan could alter the Republican contest, stressing the need for real choice amid unsettled opinions.
A Long Beach letter argues against competitive sports in public elementary schools citing harm to children and suggests fitness alternatives. It also critiques Deats on citizen court monitoring, questioning punitive justice as a sole crime solution and urging deeper analysis of underlying social factors.
The piece argues Congress has made housing legally accessible to Black buyers but not economically. It notes that in Washington DC median Negro family income is high due to federal jobs, yet about one third of homemakers in the area cannot afford standard housing, with 7,000 DC families unable to meet public housing standards. It cites home purchase affordability at roughly two and a half times annual income and estimates an annual income of 10,500 dollars as a baseline.
Frederic Collins notes thousands of Negro households earn incomes needing affordable homes in Washington suburbs while many whites in DC face poverty. Housing costs rise with luxuries like air conditioning, and post riot housing is scarce under 38,000 dollars. Open housing law is a start but far from enough.

A reflective piece questions why speakers insist on saying what seems obvious and ponders parallels between past idioms and modern problems, highlighting the irony of statements that state the obvious while seeking to address present concerns.
Sydney Harris examines why readers demand dramatic comparisons on history lessons. He questions why we overuse terms like reiterate and utopian and why phrases such as living precious seem graceless to the financially strapped.
Reports from the Far East and other regions compiled by Asian and foreign bankers indicate the Soviet Union holds about ten billion dollars in gold while Communist China has just over one billion. Credit also notes French government and private holders control substantial gold, with Communist China running an open market in Macao where gold enters from many countries.
Ray Cromley notes gold smuggling to Asia and a French Russian influence on prices. Bankers warn official price raises to 70 dollars an ounce could empower Paris, Moscow and Red China, while a Stockholm drawn rights system may ease pressure. They see no long term threat from a free price near 40 dollars if currencies regain faith.
