A Dayton trio each welcomed a baby within ten days at the same hospital and floor, all delivered by the same doctor. Mrs. Gaccetta’s daughter arrived Oct. 19, Mrs. Fuchs’s son Oct. 25, and Mrs. Woolf Jr.’s son last Monday, amid bets on who’d come first.
General Dynamics workers in San Diego voted October 23 on a union shop proposal under the International Association of Machinists. Only 54.22 percent favored the plan, short of the two thirds needed, as North American Aviation workers had previously rejected a union shop. The unions will continue to represent workers. General Dynamics, once Convair, is headquartered in San Diego with divisions in Pomona and facilities at Atlas missile bases.
Fragmentary note from a Long Beach area post office listing shows carrier delivery status and office location at Pine Avenue and 5th Street. It references daily publication with a Sunday exception and mentions an organized office structure.
More than 50 300 West Coast aerospace workers vote to impose a union shop, with Convair and North American plants near Los Angeles showing narrow approval.

Other plants including Ryan, Lockheed, Boeing, and Aerojet face similar votes amid ongoing campaigns and disputes over dues and coverage.

Shock waves from Tuesday's megaton range blast rattled Honolulu windows 750 miles away.
