Pearson's Minority Liberal Regime Suffers Defeat In Canadian House
In Ottawa, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson's Liberal minority government lost 84 to 82 on a bill to raise income taxes and speed tax collection. Pearson, 70, was away in Jamaica. Speaker confusion and a delayed vote led to a surprising defeat with 60 Conservatives, 15 New Democrats, 5 Creditistes, 3 Social Credit, and independent Gilles Gregoire backing the opposition. The result unsettles a government already eyeing retirement in spring.

Nuclear missile buildup expands U S sea and air forces
The Pentagon plans convert 31 of 41 Polaris submarines to carry 16 Poseidon missiles with 12 warheads each, the remaining 10 subs to carry triple warheads.
