Authorities described a silenced handgun execution and a stripped body burial before the probe paused. Sacramento notes include a California Senate move to designate Parents' Day in April.

Carter signs Rhodesia chrome import ban at White House
President Carter signed legislation to ban Rhodesian chrome imports with a ceremonial gathering in the Cabinet Room. He called the action symbolically important and said shipments will be halted immediately while exempting current January shipments. The measure repeals Byrd’s import permit and aligns U S policy with United Nations stance, though Carter noted frustration with Zimbabwe’s government.

Freeway plan to skirt South Pasadena rejected
Caltrans will not run a cross-city extension of the Long Beach Freeway into South Pasadena. Instead the Pasadena segment would connect to the existing Pasadena Freeway to aid a broader Rhodesian question search while the United States plans a strong but secondary role. President Carter comments on energy policy amid a two day tour and a round table in Charleston. He cautions the plan will force difficult congressional choices and may lower his popular rating, while asserting he will bear some disapproval to ease Congress.

In a United Nations address Carter urged advancing human rights and proposed a Soviet American treaty to freeze or limit new weapons with a deep nuclear arms reduction.

The speech drew reactions from ambassadors and observers. North Korea boycotted the session.
