RESIDENTS SCRAMBLE FOR NEWS:
N.Y. papers still not publishing
NEW YORK (AP) - A pressmen's
strike left the nation's largest city
without its three major daily
newspapers yesterday - news that
struck home to hundreds of thousands
of readers when they went to newsstan-
ds and stared in consternation.
Then, realizing it had indeed hap-
pened, they snapped up what out-of-
town, ethnic or special-interest
newspapers they could get.
MAYOR EDWARD KOCH called the
strike at the New York Times, Daily
News and New York Post "un-
bearable" and worried in public about
its cost to the city.
Television stations added special
shows, and on one the comics were read
over the air.
The three city-wide dailies were
struck Wednesday night by members of
the pressmen's union when
management posted new working con-
ditions requiring cuts in pressroom
staffs.
ALL BUT one of the other unions at
the newspapers pledged support to the
strike, and the managements decided
not to publish. There was no indication
how long the strike might last, but it
conjured memories of a 114-ay strike
in 1962-63.
At that time, there were nine general-
circulation city dailies; today, partly
because of that and other labor disrup-
tions, there are three.
Pickets walked the streets in front of
the three newspaper offices yesterday,
with contract talks stalemated and no
new talks scheduled.
"A STRIKE against any newspaper
is catastrophic, but when you have all
major newspapers out it is un-
bearable," said Koch.
Besides the 10,000 newspaper work-
ers out of work in the strike, Koch said
he was concerned that without
newspaper advertising, "people will
not buy, and we are going to suffer
economically."
To fill the vacuum left by the three
big dailies, whose combined circulation
is 3.25 million, some suburban
newspapers, such as Long Island's
Newsday and the Westchester-
Rockland Newspapers, increased their
press runs.
THE NEWS WORLD, founded by the
Rev. Sun Myung Moon, also printed
more papers, as did the Yiddish-
language Jewish Daily Forward. The
Amsterdam News, a black-oriented
newspaper published weekly on Thur-
sdays, said it plans to publish a
"general appeal" edition Monday, the
first such in its history.
Jay Bredhoff, standing behind the
counter of a newsstand in the concourse
of Rockefeller Center, said his stand
had sold all its allotment of the Wall
Street Journal, the Washington Post,
the Boston Globe and Herald-
American, the Chicago Tribune and
Philadelphia Inquirer.
"They ask for everything," said
Bredhoff. "They ask for the Times or
News. They even ask for yesterday's
Times. People are crazy."
SEVERAL LOCAL television
stations, among them the three network
affiliates, scheduled special news
shows. One such show, on WCBS-TV,
featured comedian Soupy Sales reading
the comic strips. The idea evoked one of
the best-remembered images from a
past newspaper shutdown - when
Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia took to the
radio in the 1940s to read the funnies to
the public.
Meanwhile, newsdealers said their
customers were unhappy. "People are
very upset about it, upset and cranky,"
said Ethel Addison, who runs the
newsstand in the Waldorf-Astoria.

There's no substitute for the Times.
Many area residents reluctantly
acknowledged yesterday that events
might move forward without their con-
stant supervision when they suddenly
found themselves denied the morning
ritual of poring over the dense grey
pages of the New York Times.

of anger, disappointment and confusion
