Sixth Bomb Found In Birmingham Negro District
A sixth bomb was found in Birmingham's Negro community as Mayor Boutwell vowed to pursue those behind the terror. Mortician Ernest Poole discovered a device behind a panel truck near his funeral home and an Army demolition crew disarmed it. Earlier bombs were found near a Catholic church, a parsonage linked to Dr Martin Luther King’s brother, an attorney's home, a funeral home, and a high school. Each bomb held 40 to 50 sticks of dynamite and timed with clocks, with wires snipped on some. FBI experts in Washington would study the components.

UFG Asks To Intervene In APC Rate Case
United Fuel Gas Co asks the Public Service Commission to intervene in Appalachian Power Co for a proposed 249000 power rate cut. UFG says the reduction would affect about one third of Appalachian customers and claim past reductions have unfairly exempted residential users under 400 kWh. Other utilities oppose similar cuts. UFG also seeks case consolidation with a separate school electricity rate matter.
