Byrd denial surfaces as Balchen calls Polar exploits fraud
Balchen, pilot who witnessed Byrd and Bennet's 1926 Spitsbergen takeoff, charges Byrd falsely claimed a North Pole flight. He asserts the plane could not cover the distance in 151 hours and says the fame was based on a lie. Byrd supporters dispute the claim citing safe major recognitions.

Ex Beatle tribute at U Thant farewell luncheon
John Lennon and Yoko Ono attended a World Federalists luncheon at the Pierre Hotel honoring U Thant on his UN secretary-general retirement after ten years. Lennon called the UN a white elephant yet praised Thant for peace efforts and hinted he might do more from outside. Bob Hope’s USO dinner raised about $300000 toward a $1 million building fund at Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. Senator Barry Goldwater praised Thant’s service to overseas troops at the event.
