Awaiting Burial--Snow covered coffins rest in open receiving vault at Calvary Cemetery, Queens, as strike of union gravediggers has delayed more than 600 burials. Today Francis Cardinal Spellman led a group of 100 seminarians to the burial ground to inter the bodies. Pickets remained at their posts as the volunteers dug 90 graves. The cemetery, largest Roman Catholic burial ground in the area, is operated by trustees of New York City's St. Patrick's Cathedral.
