Weather hindered search planes with low ceilings and reduced visibility as crews hunted for the missing three men. Pilot Robert Lycette of Houston reported no trouble to Bangor tower, last signaling near the Old Town beacon while attempting an instrument approach.

Berkshire Diggers: GE Sues IUE Over Berkshire Strike
General Electric Co filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board accusing the International Union of Electrical Workers of evasiveness at the bargaining table and violence on picket lines during a seven week nationwide strike. This marks a rare GE action against the IUE during a strike. Dufour Bros of Lakeville Conn will purchase bankrupt Yellow Coach Lines of Pittsfield for 167000, with sale approved by referee Paul Glen on that day. The new owner is expected to assume operations by year’s start while Yellow Coach continues franchise runs pending final approval. Norm’s Auto Wrecking gets Sunday sales permission on emergency basis from Williamstown selectmen. Wilfred Fallagher, former Berkshire schools chief, becomes superintendent of Washington South Supervisory School District in Northfield Vermont.
