Weaver Warns Riots Threaten Fabric Of America
Secretary of Housing Robert C. Weaver warns that ongoing riots threaten America’s social fabric and could dissolve city relations if violence isn’t checked. He urges law enforcement to suppress violence while expecting Congress to support model cities, antipoverty, and rent programs, noting setbacks in the House but continued Senate action. Weaver, a Harvard-educated descendant of a former slave, frames the issue as poverty amid federal affluence, with slow progress for Negro communities in big cities.

Governor Ronald Reagan, aided by Nancy Reagan, walked out of St John's Hospital in Santa Monica five days after bladder stone surgery.
