Talks Set in Washington as Transit Strike Persists
Washington officials and Congress pressed new talks with Capital Transit and the AFL Transit Workers Union to reopen buses and streetcars. Meanwhile Louis Wolfson sued the Washington Post and Times Herald for libel over editorials about his transit dealings, with the paper defending its reporting as aimed at improving service. Adlai Stevenson declined comment on his son’s remark about a presidential run. Leroy Chandler died from injuries after a July 23 accident in Baltimore. Kefauver accused President Eisenhower of inconsistent handling of Dixon Yates related matters and pressed for further hearings, noting potential conflicts of interest involving Adolphe Wenzell and Talbott.
