Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin, mother and child Holy infant, so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace President Johnson originally proposed an out right ban to be covering discrimination by everyone for every type of housing... but have had no chance from the start that everyone in congress knew it. The comprimise was painfully worked out in the house judiciary committee. In Los Angeles today, comedian Lenny Bruce died of what was believed to be an overdose of narcotics. Bruce was forty-two years old. Dr. Martin Luther King says he does not intend to cancel plans for an open-housing march into the Chicago suburb of Cicerro. Cook county sheriff Richard Oglevie asked King to call off the march, and the police in Cicerro said they would ask the National Guard to be called out if it is held. King, now in Atlanta, Georgia, plans to return to Chicago Tuesday. In Chicago, Richard Speck, accused murderer of nine student nurses, was brought before a grand jury today for indictment. The nurses were found stabbed and strangled in their Chicago apartments. In Washington the atmosphere was tense today as a special sub-committee of the house committee on an american activities, continued its probe into anti- Vietnam war protest. Demonstrators were forcibly evicted from the hearings when they began chanting anti-war slogans. Former President Richard Nixon says that unless there is a substantial increase in the present war effort in Vietnam, the U.S. should look forward to five more years of war. In a speech before the convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in New York, Nixon also said opposition to the war in this country is the greatest single weapon working against the U.S. That's the 7 o'clock edition of the news. Good Night.
