U S Warns Soviets As Arms Talks Fail In Geneva
The United States warned the Soviets it must bolster defenses while no disarmament agreement exists. William C. Foster urged Tsarapkin to negotiate Johnson proposals for a rocket freeze and halt on fissionable material. Tsarapkin rejected a nuclear freeze, favoring a universal arms budget reduction instead. The exchange followed a deadlock at the 17 nation Geneva talks, with debate on other agenda items expected to continue.

Clarity Shifts On Bennington Municipal Airport Expansion
State Aeronautics Commissioner Edward Knapp clarifies the proposed Bennington airport expansion while complicating Town Meeting voting. The plan centers on extending the northwest landing area to 3600 feet and adding a future taxiway, with a 50 by 3400 foot paved runway and nine acres of land, funded partly by state and federal aid and a $50 000 local share.
