West Germany elects in a cautious test of democracy
The 20 year Christian Democrat leadership in West Germany shows fragility as Willy Brandt may win enough Free Democrat votes to become chancellor.

Berets Case Dropped After CIA Witness Barred
Army Secretary Stanley Resor halted murder trial proceedings for eight Green Berets when CIA witnesses could not testify for national security reasons. He ruled a fair trial impossible, transferring the men to other duties amid a South Vietnam double or triple murder case tied to the CIA.
