Old Liberty Bell Promised a Nationwide Fourth Celebration
The Liberty Bell and newly naturalized citizens will highlight Fourth of July events, with an Americanization day idea promoted by New York officials. The bell travels from Philadelphia July 6 to San Francisco, via a lighted car, with a lengthy route through 17 states and a series of exhibitions, despite cracks worsened by prior journeys.
