Trucker Protests Against Lawson Milk Roil Through Ohio
Groups of truckers halted on Route 18 in Wellington dispersing after plans for a shutdown meeting were thwarted by lack of a large venue. Piazza predicted 2,500 to 3,000 truckers would meet in Barberton, with the gathering open to the public. Overnight violence included gunfire against a Lawson Milk truck on Interstate 7 near Rootstown, nails scattered on highways, and two fire bombs found. A federal order barred citizen band radios and interference with Lawson drivers, while Lawson won a temporary restraining order against CIT picketers at its Cuyahoga Falls plant.

Watergate hearing delayed amid Mitchell Stans trial ties
The Senate Watergate Committee, led by Sam Ervin, postponed three days of hearings for two weeks to avoid prejudicing the upcoming Mitchell Stans trial. Testimony planned from Charles G. Rebozo and Hughes aide on a $100,000 Hughes contribution to Nixon’s campaign fund, and connections to Robert Vesco, were halted. The move follows input from the U.S. attorney, with Democratic majorities advancing the delay despite Republican opposition.
