Soviet drive for Syrian bases as Egypt pact fades
London sources say the Soviet Union failed to win naval and air bases in Syria to replace Egypt posting. Moscow presses Damascus for a 15 year friendship treaty, while urging removal of over 1,000 Soviet advisers. Syria resists, seeking to avoid destabilizing the region amid U.S. restraint.

Park Board Allows Mother's Handmade Tombstones in Glendale
Des Moines Park Board granted an exception to city policy to place two concrete headstones for infant graves Benjamin James and Christa Ann Frederick at Glendale Cemetery. The moved markers were created by Cynthia Frederick, a 21 year old mother, who could not afford commercial stones and supported by her Army husband stationed in West Germany. The board noted many infant graves remain unmarked for financial reasons and reversed an earlier committee stance that sought to keep only granite or bronze markers.
