New York Teens Face Delayed Drinking Law Review
The Joint Committee for the Study of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law will report by Saturday on liquor policy and likely seek an independent university study of teen drinking habits and an advisory commission from church welfare law enforcement and industry. A move to raise the drinking age from 18 to 21 remains uncertain, with hearings planned before any recommendation. Connecticut and New Jersey react to New York’s lag, as teens cross borders for alcohol. UPI reports Washington coverage notes Kennedy backs UN funding with conditions, Congress weighing whether to help save the UN amid Afro Asia expansion and a shifting 8-member inner cabinet within the UN secretariat.

Migration reshapes communities says Frankel outlook
Bruce Bioss argues migrants fuel industrial growth and urban opportunity while altering rural areas and small towns. The piece notes 2700 of 3000 counties lost population in the 1950s to 1960 and that newcomers fill low and middle skilled jobs, raising questions about tolerance and social adaptation. He cites housing specialists calling migrants lifeblood and highlights varied groups moving to cities, with urban slums often inherited by new residents. The piece ends with a religious appeal for understanding and restraint in the face of population shifts.
