Sally Dawson, secretary to Sherman Billingsley of the Stork Club, shows her swollen eye suffered when she was assaulted last night in the hallway of her Park Avenue home. Miss Dawson told police her assailants were "two swarthy men" she had seen talking to pickets outside the restaurant yesterday. Two unions representing waiters and kitchen help have been striking against the club since January.
