Stephanie’s body was found near the Abbott family cabin after a lengthy search.

Railroad Pay Hike Urged
A presidential wage-finding board recommended a 2.64 cent an hour pay increase plus living cost adjustments for about 160000 railroad workers in a year-old dispute. The board backed a pattern similar to previous carrier settlements and urged acceptance, aligning with Eisenhower's request for wage restraint to curb inflation. The ruling chiefly affects west road and yard brakemen, conductors, and yard masters from 175-class railroads.
