...special effort to stress honesty and integrity is being made by some candidates, such as Democrat Brendan Byrne in his campaign against Republican Charles Sandman Jr. for Governor of New Jersey. But, for the most part, the issues are ones that have become all too familiar in recent years: taxes, crime and race.

When the Newspaper Guild supported the Teamster action, the rival Globe-Democrat-which uses Post-Dispatch presses-locked its doors. As other metropolitan dailies have learned, strikes over automation can be much more ferocious than pay disputes.
