...Communications Commission decision handed down after a Lar Daly complaint. Running for Chicago mayor, as usual, in this year's primary campaign, Splinter Candidate Daly howled that the TV stations had slighted him in favor of the other candidates-Democrat Incumbent Richard J. Daley and Republican Timothy P. Sheehan. The FCC agreed, ruled that Daly had time coming. Rather than contest the decision, most stations grudgingly put Lar ("America First") Daly (for legalized gambling, against public schools) on the air. WBBM-TV, the CBS station in Chicago, was one which chose to fight. It fired a petition to Washington...

Looking as if wedded bliss was everything he asked of it, hopeful Crooner Dennis Crosby, 23, son of Old Groaner Bing, avoided the obvious to gaze into the eyes of his Showgirl Bride Pat Sheehan, 26. No sooner had the junior Crosbys taken their vows in Las Vegas, Nev., where Pat, a divorcee, hoofs in a nightclub, than word leaked out in Los Angeles that sometime Telephone Operator Marilyn Scott, 25, as the result of a little unwedded bliss with Dennis, was the mother of a 5½-month-old daughter, whose support has been provided by the Crosby lawyers...
