...walkout, the first in the union's 30-year-history, involved announcers, newsmen, disk jockeys and performers working on TV and radio stations owned by CBS, NBC, ABC and the Mutual Broadcasting System. The principal issue in the dispute is a salary increase for 100 newsmen at network-owned stations in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The union was demanding a base salary of $325 plus 50% of the fees earned from sponsored programs; the networks are offering...
...Yorty boosted its namesake, who has his eye squarely on 1968 and Republican Thomas Kuchel's Senate seat, giving the mayor full opportunity to demonstrate the command of world affairs that he has gleaned on twelve trips abroad since 1961.

Each wears earphones connected to a long-handled ground-sweeper disk, powered by transistor batteries, which transmits a constant hum through the earphones. Whenever it finds metal, there is a sudden crescendo to the hum, the signal to dig for an antique that may be anywhere from an inch to 6 ft. down, since little of any value is left on the surface...
