Russia reports a 4.3 percent cut in 1964 military appropriations to 13.3 billion roubles and large boosts in farm support and chemical inputs. Finance Minister Garbuzov defends the move as ensuring defense and socialist camp security while Lomako touts plans for six million TV sets and one million refrigerators in 1964, plus 36 percent chemical production growth and higher housing for 15 million people.

Orr Asked To Cease Court Fight
The University and Professor Orr seek to end the dispute over his dismissal. Settlement terms were negotiated by the Staff Association and deemed acceptable by all parties. The University acknowledged its view that it acted wrongly in terminating Orr’s appointment. The deal would withdraw the black ban on the Chair of Philosophy and terminate all legal action by both sides. Other council developments followed.
