A Daily Journal photographer Robert Curry was jailed briefly after a verbal order ban on photography outside Ukiah Justice Court issued by Judge Hale McCowen Jr. The photographer refused to surrender his film, avoided contempt charges, and the incident sparked debate over courthouse photography rules and judicial power. Local sheriff officials held Curry in adjoining chambers before he could proceed. The incident prompted calls for a joint ruling by the Justice Court and Superior Court judges to clarify a courtwide embargo on courthouse photography.
A 149 judge panel in Los Angeles warns of a California court administration crisis and releases a 39 point reform package. It aims to cut civil jury trials, reclassify some drug cases, simplify juries, abolish most probate cases, add a second grand jury, certify criminal lawyers, promote out of court settlements, and ease gambling and bookmaking laws while urging constitutional amendments and swift legislative action.

Several hundred dissident miners from Pennsylvania and Ohio rode to Capitol Hill to press for union democracy and to protest alleged union and political influence. They challenged Congress and met lawmakers including Rep. Saylor and Rep. Hechler, facing stalling responses and mixed reactions before leaving to face a possible large-scale coal strike if the democracy suit does not go to trial by April 1. The piece also notes the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo train’s 92nd anniversary.
Persistent critic Senator John Stull launches a bid to overhaul California public school teacher tenure. The proposed bill would let a school board dismiss a first year probationary teacher without cause and remove the right of appeal to Superior Court, placing hearings with a third party and a teacher and board panel whose decision could be final. The measure intensifies clashes with the California Teachers Association which represents 170,000 teachers and opposes tenure revision. The governor’s stance invites uncertainty while the education committee leans Democratic and likely to oppose the plan.
