Canadian minister weighs DES fate for cattle
Agriculture Minister H. A. Bud Olson said Canada may delay a DES decision a month or longer as U S authorities ban DES in animal feeds. He stressed no evidence yet justifies an immediate Canadian ban, noting only four of thousands of tests found minute DES traces and fearing a ban could raise cattle costs by 10 to 12 percent.

Calgary Court halts swearing in U S citizen as police chief
Alberta Supreme Court granted a temporary restraining order blocking the oath for Charles R. Gain, the Oakland California police chief named Calgary chief. The order, issued by Chief Justice J W H Milwain, lasts until trial or further orders and arose from a claim that the appointment violated the Police Act and a Calgary bylaw. Opponents argued a Canadian citizen should fill the role and debated alien status within a politically charged council scene.
