Detroit teachers strike drains city as court orders ignored
Amid a continuing walkout in Detroit and similar actions nationwide, 40,000 of the citys 55,000 teachers stayed off duty after a Supreme Court antistrike order. Fines reach up to 10,000 a day, with mediation talks urged by acting Gov. Milliken. Donovan says the situation may last some time while schools remain only partly open.

Voter Bonding Debate Divides NY Political Groups
The League of Women Voters criticizes a proposed judiciary article as regressive and favors appointing judges. The New York City Bar Association calls the plan an unacceptable revision. The measure would retain the current court system while creating state funded district courts if voters approve. Democrats push to delete mandatory voter referenda on borrowing, favoring a fixed limit and two legislative readings. Republicans oppose. Brydges accuses Democrats of secrecy and seeks prompt disclosure of borrowing plans.
