Wow, those large format negatives had really good resolution.  I can actually rad the page standing up from the middle foreground AP machine:

     CHICAGO, SEPT. 3,-- ASSERTING THAT "THERE IS A PAGAN ATTITUDE
TOWARD WOMEN ALL AROUND US," THE REV. DANIEL A. LOR, CATHOLIC
ACTOR, EDITOR AND PLAYRIGHT,=GARBLE= TODAY THAT DISRESPECT
FOR WOMANHOOD IS A PRELUDE TO THE COLLAPSE OF DEMOCRACY, HE SPOKE
BEFORE 2,000 YOUNG DELEGATES AND TEACHERS AT THE CHICAGO SUMMER
SCHOOL OF CATHOLIC ACTION IN SESSION HERE.
     POINTING TO PURE WOMANHOOD AS THE SYMBOL OF NATIONAL MORALITY,
FATHER LORD STRESSED THAT LAWS FOR THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN ARE
FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE STATE AS A WHOLE.
     "IF WOMEN ARE CORRUPT, THE WHOLE PEOPLE ARE CORRUPT," HE
STATED.  "IF WOMEN ARE WRECKED, TYRANNY IS INEVITABLE, IF CHILDREN
ARE NOT CLEAN AND STRONG , THERE IS NO FUTURE, IF WOMEN DO NOT
HOLD UP THE STANDARDS OF MORALITY, THEY HOPELESSLY FALL.

Wow, that seems bit dated, but still, to be able to read it on such a photo is rather fun.
