Soviets Boost Defense Outlay For Next Year
Russia will raise defense spending by five per cent in the coming year with a $14.0 billion military bill approved by the Supreme Soviet as part of a $116 billion budget. Finance Minister Garbuzov cited aggravated international conditions while defense remains about 12.8 per cent of the budget, down from 1963. Baibakov outlined a 6.7 per cent industrial growth target for 1966, tied to a poorer harvest but higher farm output than 1964. See SOVIETS, Page 2.

Our Nightmare in Viet Nam-9 Amnesties draw Viet Cong deserters in 1963
In summer 1963 a flood of Viet Cong deserters sought amnesty under Diem’s forgiveness program. Higgins notes 10,000-plus Viet Cong passed through amnesty in 1963, with ongoing surrenders into 1964 and 1965. Desertion hurt enemy morale and reflected hunger, not just ideology, as leaflets and loudspeakers offered safe passage. See NIGHTMARE, PAGE 2.
