Huntley ignores picketing; telecasts regular program
NEW YORK — (UPI) — As top newscasters began a second day on picket lines outside the studios of major broadcasting networks today, one of the nation's best known TV commentators questioned whether journalists should become personally involved in union activity.
Chet Huntley, the New York anchorman on the popular "Huntley-Brinkley Show" on NBC-TV, crossed the picket lines of the American Federation of Television
and Radio Artists to appear on the program Wednesday evening. He said AFTRA was not the proper bargaining agent for newsmen.
David Brinkley, who is usually broadcast from Washington, did not appear on the show. Huntley said he believed Brinkley would be back soon.
On the other radio and television networks, strange faces and unfamiliar voices delivered the news. The stand-ins, most of them
network executives and supervisory personnel, did surprisingly well on their first day before the microphones. Old tapes and reuns were used to replace other live programming.
There was little hope for a quick end to the strike by the union which includes just about anyone who appears before cameras and microphones. A meeting between negotiators for both sides was put off until 9 a.m. CST Saturday.
Suburban crash kills 18
KENNER, La. —(UPI)— A Delta Airlines DC8 on a training flight clipped three houses and exploded in an orange fireball behind a motel today killing at least 18 persons and injuring at least 10 others.
The dead included the five from the plane, and 13 persons killed in the suburban cluster of homes, apartment buildings and the Hilton motel.
The bodies of eight high school girls were found—four in each room—in the motel.
The plane, with Delta pilots and trainees aboard, dipped its left wing while making a steep bank to approach the New Orleans International airport runway at 12:52 a.m. CST.
Engines whining, the plane snapped through power lines, smashed through three houses, demolishing one, and bounced over railroad tracks and along the ground for 600 yards.
It exploded in a blinding flash on the back lot of the Hilton motel complex, setting one wing of the motel afire.
Authorities brought seven dead to a Delta hangar, including the five crewmen.
The other victims included a woman and a 13-year-old boy in
the demolished house, Charles Imhoff, assistant Hilton engineer, who suffocated, and the eight high school girls, members of a vacationing senior class from Judah. Wis. staying at the motel.
The plane crashed within a cluster of apartment houses and homes in this suburb about 15 miles north of the New Orleans City limits.
Residents of apartment houses
narrowly missed by the hurtling plane saw a huge fireball light their windows.
The plane apparently straddled a street, clipping houses on either side. The demolished home was the next to last one on the block, which dead ends on the Kansas City Southern Railroad tracks.
Firemen could not get into the home, which was engulfed in flames and then collapsed.
Integration ultimation hits southern schools
NEW ORLEANS—(UPI)—The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has aimed a knockout blow at southern school segregation with a volume of minutely detailed regulations on how total integration should be accomplished next September.
Wednesday's landmark ruling, by an 8-4 vote, is so sweeping that it brought predictions of disaster by some southerners.
Circuit Judge James P. Coleman of Ackerman, Miss, said the
ruling would throw the nation's schools into another legal and political battleground — "not about the death of unlawful discrimination, but about who and how many of any particular race shall go to any particular school with how many members of some other race."
The decision covers all public schools in Alabama, Florida Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, from kindergarten through high school.
Teamster denies Cosa Nostra link
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Federal rackets investigator Henry Petersen claims the Cosa Nostra crime syndicate is allied with the leadership of the Teamsters Union and the International Longshoremen's Association.
The charge is "slanderous," the Teamsters general vice president, Frank E. Fitzsimmons, said, demanding that Petersen recant or produce proof of the allegation in court.
Petersen, who heads the Justice Department's organized crime section, declined to elaborate on what he told a national crime conference panel Wednesday:
"I know to a moral certainty that in the upper echelons there is an amalgamation between the International Longshoremen, Teamsters and Cosa Nostra."

Don't laugh at Charles Van der Hoff's big ears. He can hear a party amile away, thanks to Sprite.
Social-life majors, take a look at Charles Van der Hoff. He can't play the guitar. Never directed an underground
movie. And then look at his ears! A bit much? Yes! But--Charles Van der Hoff can hear a bottle of tart, tingling Sprite being opened in the girls' dormitory from across the campus!
What does it matter, you say?
Hah! Do you realize that Charles Van der Hoff has never missed a party in four years?
When he hears those bottles
of Sprite being uncapped--the roars--the fizzes--the bubbles--he runs! So before you can say anti-existentialism, he's getting in on that tart, tingling, slightly tickling taste of Sprite. And delicious refreshment as well as a good time.
Of course, you don't have to have ears as big as Charles Van der Hoff's to enjoy the swinging taste of Sprite. You may just have to resign yourself to a little less social life.
SPRITE, SO TART AND TINGLING. WE JUST COULDN'T KEEP IT QUIET.
