...streets, which Daley may not have wanted anyway. The strike, called 14 weeks before the convention, also prevented the installation of telephones and seriously impeded the candidates' operations. Then, nine days before the convention opened, drivers for the city's two major cab companies struck. Racial violence, which mercifully never erupted, was a real prospect. So were angry demonstrations by the young...
...district court found that St. Petersburg police assignments were not unreasonable, arbitrary or unconstitutional. Racial classification of the city's cops, said the court, was only a matter of police efficiency. In blunt and unequivocal language, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has now reversed that decision.

There he fought successfully to remove an admissions ban on Negro students from the trust agreement under which the university was founded, and he ordered racial integration of the off-campus faculty club. He was easily accessible to student leaders and appointed students to academic committees. To antiwar activists, Pitzer's main drawback may be his 2½ years (1949 to 1951) as a weapons-oriented director of research for the AEC and his current service...
