Barber Reverses Self on Selectmen Caucuses
Norton Barber reversed his stance and said the Democratic and Republican caucuses to nominate candidates for the enlarged Bennington Selectmen were illegal. The dispute over the 1966 Unification Act led John J. DeVito and Rupert Rep. Robert Graf to argue for one new selectman per district. Barber then admitted the act requires electing one from each district and urged a new caucus Monday night. Members from both parties计划 to hold interim caucuses and vote at large in August, with the March Town Meeting to decide district representation.

Laird says Soviets expand ICBM deployment and force
Secretary Laird told a Pentagon briefing that the Soviet Union was continuing to deploy ICBMs at a higher rate, including SS-9, SS-11, and SS-13 missiles, with new starts and sites going operational. He noted U.S. plans to reduce forces in Korea and Vietnam and to rely on increased military aid. The remarks contradicted officials who said no new SS-9 sites were built since last August, and raised questions about MIRV readiness and deployment timelines.

Rules for Revolution fraud spread by right wing groups
