Western Union Strike Called Across Nation
A nationwide strike of 35000 Western Union telegraph workers was ordered for July 2 at 6 am EST. The CTU seeks a 25 cent an hour raise, rejecting a 10 percent rise tied to FCC rate action. Wages and contract clauses featured in tense negotiations with emphasis on a special reopening clause and potential impact on wire services. Also noted: Maryland state revenue up 13.09 percent in the year to May 31, driven by income tax and motor vehicle fees.

Could Have Prevented Crash Killing Three in Md Home
A House Armed Services subcommittee concluded the Air Force crash that killed Irving Guyer and two young nieces Kay Snider and Denis Snyder could have been avoided. Pilot Capt Paul V Chapman should have steered the plane out of a thickly settled area before bailout, the panel said. Responsibility lay with multiple command levels, not only the pilot. Chapman was later acquitted of manslaughter charges.
