Campbell En Route to Utah For Speed Record Assault LONDON (UPI) — Donald Campbell left by plane for Australia via New York Wednesday for another season of attacks on the world land speed record aboard his Proteus Bluebird car. Campbell, 43, is holder of the world’s unrestricted water speed record of 260.35 miles per hour set in 1959. He is out to beat the land speed record of 394.196 mph set by John Cobo in 1947 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Campbell hopes to break through the 400 mph barrier as his father, Sir Malcolm, broke through the 300 mph: barrier in 1935.

Notice of the strike was filed tonight on W. F. Conway, president of the railroad, by six unions, while a seveyth had set up pickets on Monday. Theissues were reported almost identical as those in the strike by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, although union spokesmen said there were some differences. The trainmen and Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen had agreed to terms earlier in the day following two days of negotiations with the Anaconda Co. owned railroad officials and federal mediators. While the firemen and enginemen had not struck, they were covered in the agreement which pertained to such issues as job security, a retraining program, pensions, insurance, and sickness and accident benefits.
