Release The Men List Seen As Holiday Propaganda
The Defense Department says the North Vietnamese list of 368 prisoners contains no new names and reflects previously released or deceased captives. Pacifists in New York and Paris call it official accounting, while U.S. officials suspect holiday propaganda. Families, including Mrs. Marion Goodermore, await word on sons missing or held by Hanoi.

Angela Davis Switches Jails
Angela Davis, an indicted militant intellectual, was jailed at the Marin County Civic Center after a secrecy shrouded extradition flight from New York in a California Air National Guard C97 cargo plane. The transfer, landing at Hamilton Air Force Base, moved her to a heavily guarded third floor cell in the same building where a judge, two convicts, and an accomplice were previously shot.

Banks cut prime rate fifth time this year
New York banks lowered the prime rate to 6 1/4 percent from 7 percent for major borrowers marking the fifth cut this year. Chase Manhattan led the move saying declines in market rates and weaker loan demand justify the reduction. Economists foresee lower mortgage and personal loan charges, though some warn about limited declines as the economy may stabilize in 1971.

Reserve Bank Plans Contingency to Shield Government Securities
The New York Federal Reserve outlined a contingency plan to keep the $3 billion daily government securities market functioning amid planned insurance cancellations. It would take physical custody of securities or credit trades through a computer system linking member banks, with nonbank firms able to participate by depositing paper via member banks. Continental Insurance, the largest insurer of government securities, has begun cancelling coverage at brokerages and limiting it at banks with deposits over $1 billion, affecting eight major New York entities.
