Gold's role downplayed by Connally at IMF talks
Treasury Secretary Connally said gold should lose its world currency glitter and would not break the monetary deadlock with a price surge. He dodged whether gold is negotiable while IMF delegates seek a realignment plan, with Group of Ten discussions focusing on currency shifts and removing the import surcharge once a lasting balance of payments solution is found.

Floods ruin much of North Vietnam rice crop reports say
Intelligence sources indicate heavy rains and floods destroyed a large share of North Vietnam's rice. Aid from Communist China and Russia, including food and medical supplies, is expected to boost shipments, while U.S. analysts warn Beijing's internal crisis rumors could slow responses. Russia faces harvest shortfalls and storage losses, possibly forcing higher wheat imports as bread stocks dwindle.
