Berkeley Elects Widener as Mayor amid radical coalition
Warren Widener, a former SAC officer, was elected Berkeley mayor with three radicals joining his City Council. Widener proposes police under an elected commission, replacing the city manager, and a progressive municipal income tax. The win followed large black and white antiwar turnout. In Seattle, Leslie Bacon, 19, a witness in the Capitol bombing case, was questioned by a federal grand jury, with critics calling the probe a fishing expedition into antiwar politics.

Empire Builder first Amtrak run signals new era in rail travel
Amtrak assumes operation of the Chicago to Seattle Empire Builder on its first run under federal subsidy. The route uses former Hiawatha and Pocahontas lines, with Chicago to Minneapolis on Milwaukee Road tracks and then west on Burlington Northern routes. The event marks the start of a government funded passenger service replacing many long established trains. In ceremonies and fanfare, historic services like the Hiawatha Pocahontas and Panama Limited end their eras as Amtrak lists 94 of 285 trains discontinued.
