If my memory serves me correctly that "News for Children" segment is called In The News. It's been running on CBS' Saturday mornings until about early or mid-80s.

You have to be careful with listings from The New York Times.
I'm collecting old radio schedules and notice that the Times
would often identify a musical program as "Variety Musicale"
or a children's program as just that, "Children's Program."
For old-time radio I prefer the old New York Herald-Tribune's
listings, but I think the paper was gone by 1974 so would be
no help in this case.
And "News For Children" is CBS's In The News, which had been
running for about two or three years at the time.
In short, if you can find a backup (TV Guide, the Daily News,
the Post, Newsday), it might come in handy when you're working
with the Times listings, in order to find out what some programs
were actually titled.

Quite possibly the greatest one-night lineup of comedy EVER.

60 Minutes had not yet become the ratings powerhouse it would
later be. In 1971 CBS had moved it out of its alternate-Tuesday-
10 PM slot, where it had been clobbered by Marcus Welby, M.D., and
into this out-of-the-way slot (in its first three years,
1968-71, 60 Minutes was sometimes the lowest-rated program of the
week). (60 Minutes at this point (1974) did not air during football
season.) Reprieve came in the summer of '75, when CBS put it on
Sunday at 9:30 PM, and it cracked the top 30. When 60 Minutes
returned in December, a modification to the Prime Time Access Rule
was in effect: the networks could have 7-8 (ET) on Sunday, provided
they filled the hour with either children's or public-affairs programming.
NBC had Disney at that time; ABC had Swiss Family Robinson; CBS had
flopped with something called Three For The Road, which a number
of affiliates pre-empted for local news, and which had been aimed
at kids. So CBS decided to counterprogram with something appealing
to adults. The rest is history. 60 Minutes, running virtually
unopposed, began to move up the Nielsen charts and hit number one
in the 1979-80 season.
