...book drawing the most fire was a history text titled Land of the Free, co-authored by U.C.L.A.'s John W. Caughey, Harvard's Ernest R. May and Chicago's John Hope Franklin, a Negro. A realistic and often unflattering appraisal of American history, Land of the Free, among other judgments, says that slaves were not happy darkies, that labor and civil rights groups made gains only by overcoming "savage resistance," and that the Boston Tea Party was a "mob scene." Teachers, parents and community groups in 45 different U.S. school districts attacked the book. In Oregon...
Died. Herbert V. Kohler Sr., 76, crusty, conservative chairman of Kohler Co., the big plumbing-fixture firm that weathered the longest major strike in U.S. history; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in Sheboygan, Wis. Struck by U.A.W. Local 833 in 1954 (among the issues: binding arbitration and a seniority rule in layoffs), Kohler held out for 81 years and kept his factory open with strikebreakers until the National Labor Relations Board finally forced him to the bargaining table...
...U.S.C.'s Earl McCullouch, who gave up a chance at an Olympic gold medal (he is the world co-recordholder in the 110-meter high hurdles) to play pro football, the game was especially rewarding.

...price showdown with U.S. Steel.* While Government purchases account for about 8% of the steel industry's total output, it is questionable to what extent Government contractors can be forced to switch suppliers. Kennedy succeeded in beating back U.S. Steel's price hikes by persuading Inland Steel Co. to hold the line, but L.B.J.'s lame-duck status leaves him with far less clout than his predecessor enjoyed...
...third-biggest company after U.S. Steel and Bethlehem, announced price increases on "principal" steel products of 4.5%. Armco Steel Corp. and Inland followed with broad-based price hikes of their own, and U.S. Steel extended its original increases to several other lines. National Steel Corp. and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. weighed in with selective price boosts. Bethlehem, meanwhile, showed no signs of budging. "In our opinion," said Chairman Edmund F. Martin, "our price increase is absolutely necessary, and we do not intend to withdraw...
