General linked to man accused of kickbacks
An Army general, Brig. Gen. Earl F. Cole, was accused in a Senate panel hearing of receiving $1,000 a month from William J. Crum, a Vietnam promoter, and shielding Crum from CID raids. Crum allegedly used Cole to block investigations, arrange favorable club asset sales, and influence probes. Cole was later reduced to colonel, stripped of the DSM, and retired.

Tupamaro guerrillas free hostage in Uruguay release
Tupamaro guerrillas freed Brazilian Consul Aloysio Mares Dias Gomide near Montevideo on Sunday night. He and his wife flew to Brazil this morning after the government restored civil liberties the guerrillas demanded for his freedom. The diplomat's release followed months in captivity and a ransom cited at about 250000 dollars by his wife. American agronomist Dr Claude Fly remained abducted with a separate ransom demand. The British ambassador Geoffrey Jackson also remains captive. Police reported Dias Gomide described his confinement in four pieces and that he appeared on a sixth floor balcony to cheers. The crisis led to a suspension of some legal rights and a large-scale police search for the other captives.
