Nude mural sparks momentary controversy in Chicago
A two foot high nude mural on a construction shed in downtown Chicago drew mixed reactions from passersby before Phillip Gross ordered it removed and artists McCabe and Frontier defended the piece as harmless. Separately Senator Eugene J. McCarthy moved from his Mount St. Alban home to a Washington hotel amid divorce rumors while Port Everglades arson suspect Anthony Romeo claimed “wanted to be a hero” as he faces charges over fires aboard the Queen Elizabeth. An engineer, Ralph Pool, rescued an elderly widow on tracks near Baldwin Park by pulling her from an approaching train. In Connecticut, 23 year old Robert Saxton, a former Naval Academy student, remains missing while undergoing cobalt therapy and possible radium treatment.
