When 1,000 high-spirited Negro youths cut classes in Kansas City, Mo., and marched on city hall to complain that their brothers across the river in K.C., Kans., had been given a day off from school in tribute to King, Mayor Ilus W. Davis acted sensibly to calm them by linking arms with a band of black ministers and accepting the offer of a Roman Catholic priest to give the students an afternoon of rock music at a nearby church.

Three new restrictions imposed by the Bank of England, which regulates British financial dealings, also made trading tougher for speculators. The bank forbade sales of gold for future delivery, barred banks or gold dealers from lending foreign currency to nonresidents to finance gold buying, and even prohibited them from accepting gold as collateral for loans in foreign monies.
