Fear Acquittal In Rights Killing May Renew Strife
SELMA AL AP The acquittal of three white men charged with the civil rights killing of a white Boston minister left Selma facing renewed racial strife. A King aide warned demonstrations would rise, especially in Selma, as the Rev Andrew Young said the verdicts could embolden killers. The Reverend James J Reed, 38, was beaten on a street corner near Broad Street and died two days later. Defendants Elmer L Cook 42 Nomon O Neal Hogge 31 and William S Hogge 37, were found not guilty of first degree murder amid a crowded courtroom. Federal charges still loom against Cook and the Hogges with a fourth man facing possible action.

Vigo County May Delay School Election Until Fall
Vigo County election board members unanimously favor postponing the school election from spring to the fall general election on Nov 8 to save taxpayers 3000 to 5000 dollars. The plan, supported by Democrat Denver Martin Republican Dorothy Duddleston and County Clerk Leonard Conrad, awaits school board approval. Officials cite legislative authorization and room on the fall ballot to place all candidates on one row. Delaying would extend terms of four board members to Jan 1 1967, raising questions about conflicting Indiana laws and prompting an opinion request to Attorney General John J. Dillon.

Pacifists Fast to Protest Disciplining of 3 Priests
In Manchester New Hampshire pacifists James Wilson and Kathie Sullivan began a water fast in St. Joseph’s Cathedral chapel to protest disciplinary actions against three priests tied to antiwar and civil rights activity. They said no time limit and that the church would stay open and heated as long as they remain, while a diocesan official stressed the chapel is a place for prayer not a target of protest. The disciplined priests include Rev Anthony Mullaney Rev Daniel Berrigan and Rev Bonaventure O’Brien with ties to St. Anselm’s Siena College and U.S. Vietnam War policy.
