They would manufacture about 40 percent of spare parts for NATO YF 16s and 10 percent for US Air Force buys, with shared future sales. French pressure to favor Mirage over European and US fighters drew threats to Belgian rifle orders. President decision pending after media confusion over a premature report.

Champ Wolfs Down 19 Polish Sausages In Hour For Title
Joe Deckert, a Baltimore City employee, defends his title in the 8th annual Polock Johnny's Sausage Derby by eating 19 Polish sausages in one hour to win $100 and a five foot trophy. The charity event at Polock Johnny's raises funds for St Patrick's Athletic Club as spectators, including Mayor Schaefer, watch. Hog Jaws initially led with 13 sausages in 40 minutes but was disqualified for regurgitating. Deckert remained unchallenged to the stage and completed two more hot dogs before time ran out.
