Landmesser Civil Case Dismissed
A federal district judge dismissed the Landmesser civil case filed in Cheyenne County, Sidney, against Police Chief Sol Willis and multiple officers over a tear gas cartridge injury. The $175,000 suit argued negligence after a discarded cartridge exploded during a disturbance, but the judge ruled city and county governments are not liable for actions of law enforcement, citing officials' justification to quell the disturbance. He noted Mrs. Rhoden stored the cartridge improperly, and the incident likely would have been avoided. He blamed the boys for causing the explosion by striking the cartridge and urged more caution in handling discarded devices. This was the final case of the session.

Wheat Producers Told They Must Plan Ahead To Boost Farm Income
Nebraska wheat growers gather in Holdrege for the annual meeting to plan ahead for 1968 when current programs expire. They warn against broad acreage increases that could depress prices, and stress need for urban support, government acreage limits, and investment costs to attain a fair income of about 5 percent on investment and $2.50 per hour in operator labor.
