Other news of the day. Minor spine wear, otherwise in good condition.
wikipedia notes: On May 14, after much searching and scant communication from the abductors, Arizona governor B.B. Moeur received a postcard at his office describing June Robles' location in the desert outside Tucson. The postcard bore a Chicago postmark. A team that included Carlos Robles, Pima County Attorney Clarence Houston and several Highway Patrolmen, searched the area for two hours until discovering a small metal box, sunk three feet into the ground and disguised with some shrubbery. June was inside, alive and in surprisingly good health. She had been chained in the iron box in the desert for 19 days. Interestingly, another high-profile kidnapped person was recovered that day. William F. Gettle, an oil millionaire from Beverly Hills had been missing since Wednesday, May 9, was found in the Los Angeles home of his kidnapper.
