The "dateline" as enunciated by Mark Roman is certainly very garbled - to me it actually sounds like "March 26th," quickly corrected to "25th".  However, Wednesday March 15th is correct: quite apart from the fact that March 26th, 1967 was Easter Sunday, the "Basic Railway" (a.k.a. "Beeching, Part III") press release that lay behind the lead story in the news was published on March 15th.
