Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, BC: (LA5) MONTEBELLO, Calif., April 1 -- MOTHER'S DAY? -- Boss Wally Gerdes (left) thought it was Mother's \ Day when 14 of his employees in the installation department at Western Electric Company's \ Montebello, Calif., plant showed up in maternity smocks well-filled out. But it was just the \ girls' pregnant (pillows) idea of an April Fool's Day joke. Five of them aren't married. \ (AP Wirephoto) (See AP story) (jfm21415her-ex) 1963
