Bus Overturns On Icy Route 48 Near Lebanon
A Greyhound bus overturned on an icy hill on Ohio 48 near Ridgeville six miles north of Lebanon. Twenty six passengers and the driver escaped serious injury. Two other people were injured on the same highway in a separate crash and taken to Middletown Hospital. A truck collided with a truck at the hill’s foot, causing the bus to flip onto a 10 foot embankment. Passengers and the driver, W G Shepherd of Detroit, climbed out through doors and windows. Some injured were treated at local hospitals as authorities cleared the scene after about nine hours of one lane traffic. A runaway car later plunged off Route 48 injuring two near Waynesville.

Officials Feared Political Football Delaying UN Report
Justice Department official Roy Cohn testified before a House subcommittee that a federal grand jury report on communists within the United Nations was delayed last fall to avoid it becoming a political football before the election. He cited high level decisions by McGranery, Murray, Malone, and Lane to postpone until December, amid concerns over timing and public reaction. Four Justice officials and five jurors described interviews with roughly 100 UN staffers, many invoking the Fifth Amendment. 18 disloyal employees have since been fired.
