Good as His Word. Next day came the bit about the broads. Committee Investigator Samuel Scott told of a rip-roaring time Baker and a Puerto Rican business crony named Paul Aguirre had in New Orleans with a pair of lovelies last year. Baker and Aguirre, said Scott, went to the city to look over a housing development that offered investment possibilities, took with them Baker's secretary, Carole Tyler, and German-born Vamp Ellen Rometsch, who has since been deported. They wound up, said Scott, spending "several days partying...

At Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Richard Rosenfield alerted a Puerto Rican patient to stand by. In Ohio, a statewide search for a prostitute known in medical annals as Pat Murphy found her free on bail in Akron. She was tapped for a pint...
...York City's public schools have 1,000,000 students, 43% of them Negro and Puerto Rican and the rest white. More than 275,000 students stayed home on the first day of last week's boycott, as 2,000 sign-waving pickets ("We'd rather fight than switch") massed at 125 schools; on the second day the number slipped to 233,000. During Negro-led boycotts last February and March, aimed at pressuring the school board into desegregation, 464,000 and 268,000-students stayed...
