Macumber Denies Slayings in Testimony
Macumber told jurors he returned home the night of the murders with a bloodstained shirt after defending himself from three juveniles who attacked him while he was fixing a truck. He said the June 1962 incident led him to fear calling police. He denied CID membership or firing shots and described conversations with deputies, including pleas to see his three children, and identified a .45 pistol seized from his home bought Feb 13 1957 when discharged from the Army.

Albert blasts tax rebates in Ford speech response
House Speaker Carl Albert warned that President Ford's proposed 12 billion tax rebate would mostly aid the richest 17 percent, while fuel tax hikes could hit low and middle income families harder. He noted the 2 per barrel oil tariff would lift gasoline and heating costs, potentially erasing any tax cut benefits. Albert urged action by March and warned of possible progressive tax steps if no administration move by July.
