Local News in Brief : Supervisors Ask Probe of Racial Vandalism
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday requested the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations to investigate recent acts of racial vandalism in Glendale.
The motion, by Supervisor Michael D.

Antonovich asked the commissioners to report back to supervisors in four weeks with their findings and recommendations.
