As president of the board of supervisors, it is my duty to make this announcement, both Mayor Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk have been shot and killed the suspect is supervisor Dan White. Good evening it's November 27, 1978 that was Diane Feinstein president of the San Francisoco Board of Supervisors shortly after the shooting. Tonight, much of the newscast will be devoted to reports on the tragic shootings of Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Milk. In other news Japanese Prime Minister Takayo Fukudo suffered a stunning defeat in his party's primary elections all but putting an end to his two year term. Chinese's Premier Tau Chung Ping appears to be on the verge of replacing party chairman Fung as China's Premiere. The United States Supreme Court today refused to hear an appeal by New York Time's reporter Myron Father on his 35 days jail sentence for refusing to hand over his personal notes to a New Jersey judge. But before we look at the stories, here's Franklin with a report on today's assasination in San Francisco. At 11 a.m. this morning San Francisco Mayor George Muscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk were shot and killed in their city hall offices. Board of Supervisor's Dianne Feinstein who now becomes acting mayor of San Francisco, made the announcement to a stunned group in City Hall. Dan White has turned himself into police and is now under 24 hour suicide surveillance. The motive for the killing was apparently a personal vendetta. This morning Moscone was to hold a press conference to announce the appointment of a supervisor to fill White's position. White had resigned from the board earlier this month claiming that the salary was inadequate for him to support his family. Later he changed his mind and asked to have the position back. Though Moscone had the option to reappoint White, a conservative voice on the board, the mayor had expressed interest in several other candidates. The motives for the Moscone shooting are clear; the death of supervisor Harvey Milk is more of a mystery. Milk was a political opponent of White's, an outspoken liberal and the first avowed gay candidate on the board. Harvey Milk was not in favor of reappointing White to his position. Both White and Milk were elected at the same time during district elections last year. While San Francisco officials are in a state of shock, thousand of quiet mourners have brought flowers for Mayor George Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk to the steps of City Hall. For Pacifica in Berkeley this is Lily Franklin. We'll have more details on the background of Dan White coming up shortly in the news.
