U S argues Canada must arm defense with nuclear weapons

Washington bluntly told Ottawa that Canada should equip its defense forces with nuclear weapons. The State Department said Soviet bomber fleets will remain a major threat this decade and that continental defense requires nuclear capable systems within NATO NORAD.

Kennedy shifts to voluntary farm controls for grains and milk

President Kennedy proposes voluntary rather than mandatory controls to curb farm surpluses. The plan would pay farmers to reduce production of feed grains and milk, with other programs targeting cotton while wheat remains under a new mandatory plan to be put to a grower referendum. An administration spokesman estimates annual federal farm costs could fall by 300 to 500 million dollars under the new approach. The Farm Bureau opposes broader government limits. The message emphasizes balancing supply and demand and improving farm income while reducing consumer prices.
