Britain’s Chancellor is Dead
Rodney Pinder reports in London that Tain Macleod, 56, longtime Tory figure and chancellor of the exchequer, died suddenly of a heart attack at No 11 Downing Street after an emergency appendectomy earlier in July.

Navy could lose 100 ships in coming budget cuts
The Pentagon eyed a cut of about 6 billion dollars in the fiscal 1972 defense budget, potentially retiring or laying up as many as 100 more Navy vessels. Officials note many ships are old and costly, while the fleet faces gaps as modernization lags and the Soviet navy grows. The 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean has 5 to 10 fewer ships, with reductions in Vietnam activity easing U.S. naval presence.
