Romanians rehabilitate former leaders unrest in Bucharest
A Communist commission in Bucharest accused Gheorghiu Dej of engineering executions of top officials including Stefan Foris and Lauretiu Patrascanu, calling the move a frame-up. Patrascanu was executed in 1954 after a spy-ring trial. The commission voted to rehabilitate Patrascanu and move his remains to the monument to Communist heroes.

Senate committee approves bill for slum rehabilitation plans
The Senate Banking Committee passed a three year 5.2 billion authorization to expand federal housing programs aimed at eliminating substandard housing and guiding slum residents toward redevelopment. The bill envisions moving toward 600,000 new or rehabilitated units per year by 1971, with a longer term goal of 26 million units including private investment. It contrasts with the presidents seven point five billion request over five years, and faces tougher House scrutiny though passage is anticipated with only moderate changes. The measure includes FHA mortgage support for low credit families and a special risk insurance fund to cover related losses, plus an amendment to employ ghetto residents in urban programs.
