Puzzle and solution in paper completely wrong. Solution was to 2/21/63 puzzle, and puzzle was the 2/8/63 puzzle.
The book from which this puzzle came presented the puzzles in mostly sequential order, and this one was sandwiched in between the ones that actually ran in the paper on days preceding and following 2/22/63. There was no record of this puzzle anywhere in the PDFs or the PSPP records, so this puzzle by Charles E. Gersch was almost certainly published on that date.
