...pressure, Governor Davey announced that the Right to Work was as "sacred" as the Right to Strike. To his troops flashed orders to protect all workers who wanted to return to their jobs. The same militiamen who had received such a warm welcome when they marched into the Mahoning Valley early in the week were now roundly damned by the union as public strikebreakers...

Pilot Samson crashed 35 miles off course, apparently had lost the beam altogether. If he had been just a little higher, he would have cleared Hardy Ridge, had a safe path on to the airport. As it was, the plane was smashed into confetti and completely buried by snow. At week's end no bodies had yet been recovered and postal inspectors stood guard with...
