Ironically, the biggest obstacle to a settlement turned out to be the union that had not been expected to give anybody trouble-the big but rarely belligerent Newspaper Guild. Even before Bert Powers' printers went on strike last Dec. 8, the Guild had come to terms with most Manhattan papers. But when Mayor Wagner drew up a settlement stipulating that the contracts for the city's ten newspaper unions all lapse at the same time, the Guild got back into the act; its agreement was necessary on any new expiration date. And, said Guild Executive Vice President Thomas...
Back to the Commodore Hotel went the talk-weary publishers, who might have seen this problem approaching months ago. Aware that the Guild's members were anxious to get back to work, the publishers at first offered them only a token raise of $1.50 a week to take effect Nov.1, 1964.

Bert Powers wants a common expiration date badly, and if the Guild rejects...
...There's an East Berlin and a West Berlin, but tonight we're sitting with the best Berlin," sang Danny Kaye at a gala Beverly Hills banquet where Composer Irving Berlin, 74, accepted the Milestone Award of the Screen Producers' Guild. It was only the second time (the first: to Bob Hope in 1962) that the Guild's award for outstanding movie achievement had been presented to someone other than a producer. President Kennedy, ex-Presidents Eisenhower and Truman telegraphed their congratulations. And then, "with great pride," surrounded by a boodle of filmdom's most...
Author W. C. Heinz, 48, is a former Manhattan sportswriter whose two previous books were about boxing. A Literary Guild selection for March, The Surgeon presumably reflects a doctor's-eye view of the profession, since the author's foreword expresses his debt to a dozen men who cannot be named "because of the anonymity which the medical profession prefers to impose upon its members...
