DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is recalling 316,357 vehicles in North America because their headlights can stop working.

The recall affects the Buick LaCrosse sedan and the Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender SUVs. All of the vehicles are from the 2006 through 2009 model years.

GM says the low-beam headlights or daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently stop working. If that happens it increases the risk of a crash.

The issue doesn’t affect the high-beam headlights, fog lamps or turn signals.

GM says it hasn’t yet determined whether the defect has caused any accidents. Dealers will replace the defective headlights for free.

The recall is GM’s 79th in North America this year. The automaker has recalled a record 30.4 million cars and trucks in the region.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Protesters across the U.S. have walked off their jobs or away from classes in support of the Ferguson protesters.

Monday’s walkouts stretched from New York to San Francisco, and included Chicago and Washington, D.C.

At the University of Missouri-St. Louis, three dozen students rallied outside the library and walked out of class, some with their hands up in the gesture that has become a symbol of the movement.

The walkouts came a week after a St. Louis County prosecutor’s announcement that a grand jury had decided not to indict white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed and black. The case spawned sometimes violent protests, often with demands that Wilson face charges.

Wilson has resigned from the police force.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas judge has decided that the son of a deceased Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent can publish his father’s files from the 1959 murders that inspired the book “In Cold Blood.”

Shawnee County District Court Judge Larry Hendricks said in a ruling made public Monday that he made an error when he initially blocked publication of the criminal investigation files in 2012. His decision comes in a lawsuit by the Kansas attorney general’s office against Ronald Nye of Oklahoma City.

The judge ruled Nye’s First Amendment rights to publish his father’s files outweigh government’s interest in maintaining the confidentiality of its investigative records.

Nye’s father investigated the Clutter family murders in Holcomb and kept records at home. Richard Hickock and Perry Smith were executed for the killings in 1965.

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced the remains of servicemen, missing in action from World War II, have been accounted for and will be returned to their families for burial with full military honors.

They include Army Air Forces 1st Lts. William Bernier of Augusta, MT; Bryant Poulsen of Salt Lake City, UT and Herbert Young Jr. of Clarkdale, AZ. Also identified were Tech Sgts. Charles Johnston of Pittsburgh, PN and Hugh F. Moore of Elkton, MD; Staff Sgts. John E. Copeland of Dearing, KS and Charles J. Jones of Athens, GA and Sgt. Charles A. Gardner of San Francisco, CA.

All will be buried with full military honors. Gardner will be buried Dec. 4 in Arlington National Cemetery.

On April 10, 1944, Gardner, along with 11 other B-24D Liberator crew members took off from Texter Strip, Nazdab Air Field, New Guinea, on a mission to attack an anti-aircraft site at Hansa Bay. The aircraft was shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire over the Madang Province, New Guinea. Four of the crewmen were able to parachute from the aircraft, but were reported to have died in captivity.

Following World War II, the Army Graves Registration Service (AGRS) conducted investigations and recovered the remains of three of the missing airmen. In May 1949, AGRS concluded the remaining nine crew members were unrecoverable.

In 2001, a U.S.-led team located wreckage of a B-24D that bore the tail number of this aircraft. After several surveys, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) teams excavated the site and recovered human remains and non-biological material evidence.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Spurred by the Ferguson, Missouri shooting, President Barack Obama is calling for $75 million in federal spending to get 50,000 more police to wear body cameras that record their interactions with civilians.

However, Obama is not seeking to pull back federal programs that provide military-style equipment to local law enforcement.

The president was making the announcements Monday from the White House during a series of meetings with his Cabinet, civil rights leaders, law enforcement officials and others.

At least for now, Obama is staying away from Ferguson in the wake of a racially charged uproar over a grand jury’s decision last week not to charge the police offer who fatally shot unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Hunters have found that what’s good for Fort Riley is good for them.

The thick brush, rugged terrain and overgrown fields used to train soldiers also provide outstanding wildlife habitat for quail, pheasants, deer, turkeys and even elk.

The 101,000-acre Army base is located in northeast Kansas. The Kansas City Star reports that hunting is permitted on large chunks of acreage on the base where training is not taking place.

John Hill is president of the Jayhawk Chapter of the Quail and Upland Wildlife Federation, a conservation group dedicated to promoting upland game-bird hunting and habitat improvement for the birds. The Kansas quail population has dropped sharply over the years. But Hill says he knows he can still return to Fort Riley and stand a chance of flushing quail.
