Diefenbaker urges Tory break on bilingualism vote
In Ottawa John Diefenbaker denounced the government bilingualism resolution as sham and hypocrisy and urged Conservative MPs to split from Robert Stanfield. He warned members they would be painted as supporting the Official Languages Act in their constituencies. Stanfield and Quebec spokesman Claude Wagner sat silent as splits were anticipated but the Liberal government and New Democratic Party still faced passage of the measure.

Four of six Russians aboard were located, and 190000 francs in relief funds, led by Union of French Aircraft Industries president Henri Ziegler, were allocated to Goussainville residents. The crash occurred during a Paris air show display near Le Bourget.
