Riot trial jury faces partiality claims and juror shortages
In Chicago a federal court began questioning 250 prospective jurors for a trial of eighty defendants linked to 1962 Democratic National Convention violence.

Separately, demonstrations near the Federal Building left 19 demonstrators arrested and 25 injured, with two leaders of SDS among those charged with aggravated battery after clashes. Labor officials faced a separate picket at the U.S. Customs House as race hiring protests drew white construction workers.
