Britain Poised to Withdraw From Malta by New Year
Britain is unlikely to start any withdrawal by the 46 hour Malta deadline. Prime Minister Mintoff demands an $11 million payment for base facilities or all British forces and dependents leave Malta's six mile limit by New Year. Heath and Douglas-Home oversee cautious negotiations as 3,500 servicemen and 7,000 dependents may redeploy to Gibraltar or Cyprus.
