I’m a little rusty, but this was from the United Press Wire and if I remember right, 96 is United Press' 96th release for the day (at the top). At the bottom, I think the S would have (possibly) been the news bureau initial code, the 317 the time 3:17, the P for PM and CS for Central Standard Time (the UP’s HQ was in Chicago, thus central time). 11/24 was the date November 24th.
