...deputies broke up a civil rights fund-raising dance with tear gas. Though more than 250 of their number were arrested on various charges, the Negroes persisted in their S.C.L.C.-backed boycott of local white merchants. And when a federal court, acting last month on a Justice Department suit, ordered Grenada's Lizzie Horn Elementary School and John Rundle High School to grant admission to any Negroes requesting it, 300 of 1.378 eligible Negro children registered...
...dough. Oil Billionaire J. Paul Getty, 73, might have settled the matter out of his petty-cash box if he chose.

...Nader's chief target had been G.M.'s Corvair, whose 1960-63 models' rear wheels had a tendency to "tuck under," supposedly causing rolls and skids. Last week in Los Angeles, G.M. for the first time lost a damage suit involving Corvair design; a jury awarded $66,000 in damages to two passengers in a Corvair that in 1960 skidded into a roadside culvert and overturned. Corvair's record in suits of this type is now 1 lost, 3 won, 17 dismissed or settled out of court, and 133 pending...
