Last tour ends as California Capitol West Wing closes
In Sacramento on New Year’s Eve 1973, 61 visitors exit the aging West Wing after a final guided tour as the Assembly chamber doors are locked. Engineers deem the structure quake‑unsafe, delaying permanent evacuation. Public tours move to the newer East Wing until January 7 when a new session starts.

Pitcairn to receive fuel after long shortage
GLENDALE reports Pitcairn Island will receive 43 barrels of fuel from Shaw Seville Line via its Panama representative. The supply, needed to power refrigerators and a few vehicles, should arrive by January 20 to 25 and last until April. Local radio operator Tom Christian, descendant of mutineer Fletcher Christian, hailed the gift as a New Year’s relief.
