Ukiah trustees seek 89 cent tax hike for district budget
Trustees voted to place a September 20 special election question before voters to raise the Ukiah Unified school tax rate by 89 cents to 3.75 per 100 of assessed valuation over five years. The move accompanies a tentative 1966 67 budget of 3,224,990 showing a deficit without tax increase funds to cover living cost increases for teachers and non certificated staff. River school will operate next year with about 162 pupils, part of the district deficit plan. A petition from River area residents urged keeping the school open, while taxpayers from the former River Union noted long operation and proximity benefits. The board stressed River school closure was only a budget economy suggestion to support proposed salary and cost of living increases.

Ruby Lane seeks Supreme Court appeal in sanity verdict
UPI reports that Jack Ruby's lawyers planned to appeal to federal courts possibly directly to the U S Supreme Court after a one day sanity trial found him sane for the Kennedy assassination slaying. Ruby urged the jury from the witness stand to declare him sane despite objections from his lawyers. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ordered the trial to decide if Ruby has the mental capacity to change his defense team, with bitter disputes among defense factions. If Ruby remains sane, federal review would be unlikely.
