Taxis Stop in New York and Chicago (Universal Newsreel, Jul 1965)

Description

The original release sheet reads: TAXIS STOP IN NEW YORK AND CHICAGO Taxicab strikes have emptied the streets of both New York and Chicago as the drivers seek union recognition. In the Chicago strike, the two major cab companies are idle while independents continue to operate. In New York, it's about the same story...the fleet cabs remain in garages while only owner-operated taxis are on the street. DUTCH CROWN PRINCESS TO WED There were murmurings in The Netherlands when the engagement of Princess Beatrix to a former member of Hitler's Wehrmacht was announced. As usual, though, Love conquers all. The Princess is to marry a minor German diplomat, Claus Von Amserg who will become Prince Nicolaas and be the next royal consort of the House of Orange-Nassau. RELIGIOUS DRESS IS MODERNIZED In line with the modernizing of the Roman Catholic Church, the dress of Nuns is being revised. New habits are shorter and more adapted to this modern age. One Nun, for example, finds the new dress much more suitable to her trips aboard a scooter. BING HITS BINGO IN DERBY The "Old Groaner" almost steals the show at The Curragh, Ireland, during the running of the Irish Derby. The night before the race, Bing Crosby bought a share in Meadow Court and the next day the three-year-old wins the Derby, handily!! More "Pennies from Heaven" for Crosby.
