NEW YORK (UPI" - The as
sassination of President Kenne
dy one of the (op stories of
the century completely dom
inated a news year that ranked
highest in drama and import of
any year tince World War II.
That was the consensus of ed
itors who selected the "ten big
gest news stories of 1963" com
piled by United Press International.
The integration story in the
l S. A. was the overwhelming
choice for second place on the
list. announced Wednesday
night. Tlie annual poll of edi
tors represents hundreds of
UPI subscribers in tlie United
States and Canada.

8. Profumo sex scandal in Brit

10. Fischer Quintuplets. .
The ban by the major powers
on nuclear testing in the air
held s t e ady in fifth place
throughout the balloting.
Fairly close to the quintup
lets of Aberdeen, S. C, as run-ners-up
but not quite big enough
to make the list, were two stor
ies of widely dissimilar news
import: The 14-dey ordeal and
rescue of two buried coal min
ers at Sheppton. Pa.; and the
widening split between Red Chi
na and Russia.
Those two finished m a virt
ual tie for the 11th spot. Others
close in the honorable mention
list were De Gaulle s v e t o of
British . membership in the
European Common Market, and
the Russian launching of ' twin '
astronauts, one a woman.
Many editors remarked that
1!H3 seemed the newsiest year
since the war. Some said the
list might have better included
the 15. or perhaps 20, "biggest."
UPI submitted ballots con
taining 32 major events of the
year for the consideration of ed
itors. They usually base their
judgments on significance, pub
lie impact, shock value, human
interest, readability, and the
amount of space the story oc-
