Alexander Defends Police Leader Amid Censure Clash
Burlington, UPI. Public Safety Commissioner Erwin A. Alexander calls Gov. Hoff's December censure unjustified and will not discipline three state police officers as ordered. He releases a 15 page letter rebutting Hoff and criticizing the board of inquiry into the July 19 shotgun attack on David Johnson Sr. home in Irasburg. Hoff demanded action by Jan. 2 or face dismissal. Alexander asserts the attorney general had information and conducted his own inquiry, and praises Capt. Harold Dean, Sgt. Billy Chilton, and Lt. Clement Potvin.

Soviets Propose Arab Lead in Mideast Arms Race
United Press International reports the Soviet Union plans to tilt the Mideast arms race toward Arab states while keeping strong Mediterranean naval forces. A British firm ships Tigercat missiles to Jordan to defend King Hussein airports, and Kremlin efforts reportedly block U S Phantom deliveries to Tel Aviv. Israeli leaders warn Arab raids will be answered, as Arab guerrillas grow in southern Lebanon. Kasatonov says Soviet ships operate in the Mediterranean in Arab interests and the USSR should be seen as a Mediterranean power, challenging America's 6th Fleet.
