Description

The original release sheet reads: STRIKE BOUND: PHILADELPHIANS WALK-U.S. STUDIES DOCK TIE-UP The rash of strikes that have hit vital services along the east coast spreads to Philadelphia's transportation system. Half a million people are walking to work or making use of hastily contrived carpools as streetcars, subways, and buses lie idle in a wage dispute. New York city newspaper strike, now in it's sixth week, seems to be headed for still further stalemates. The president's fact finding board is trying to work out an agreement that might end the multi-million dollar longshoremens strike. STATE VISIT: ITALIAN PREMIER MEETS PRESIDENT KENNEDY The Italian Prime Minister, Amintore Fanfani, arrives at the white house for an official visit with President Kennedy, who accepts an invitation to visit Italy some time this year. PSST/-HERE'S YOUR EASTER BONNET A true harbinger of s-p-r-i-n-g is milady's hat. Can easter be far behind when Paris designers stage a preview of thing to come-hat-wise? Paris seems to be encouraging the return of the wide brim, although they've come up with some styles that look like crash helmets. SPORTS EAST DOWNS WEST IN ALL-STAR BASKETBALL The east jumps to an early lead-never to be overtaken-as the eastern all-stars defeat the west- 108 to 93. Elgin Baylor, the west's favorite son, is held to 17 points as Bill Russell hooks the east to victory.
