Soviet Hikes 1967 Military Budget Amid War Fears
Moscow ordered a 1967 defense budget at the highest level in over a decade, citing U S aggression in Vietnam and promising consumer goods increases despite heavy industry emphasis. Defense spending will total 14.5 billion rubles, a record for offense outlays. News from Saigon notes continued bombing of North Vietnam with few ground actions and disputed claims of Hanoi damage. In Caracas terrorists attacked a home amid Venezuela's crackdown on violence, while Iraq is urged to seize Western oil fields and Syria nationalizes assets on the trans Syria pipeline. Pentagon delays Navy antisubmarine planes, Construction activity falls in November, and a Cyprus arms crisis looms as Czech arms shipments to Cyprus are contested. Johnson praises Vietnam progress and lights the national Christmas tree.
