Welcome for Panama President Ends in Wild Stampede
Panamanian and U.S. officials faced a chaotic scene as a torchlit welcome for President Jose Antonio Remon in Tokyo devolved into a stampede. Twenty spectators were trampled, burned, or cut as kerosene torches shattered a department store window and injuries were reported. The event followed discussions in Washington on the Canal Zone, defense roles, and pay differentials for U.S. Air Force personnel amid broader U.S. tensions with the Soviet bloc.
