Charges ordered against Hatch in Alberta inquiry
A judicial report tabled in Alberta's legislature blames S W Hatch for the 1964 losses of the Lethbridge Central Feeders Association totaling 844000. Judge L S Turcotte says Hatch may face charges for theft and falsification after an inquiry that found concealed profits and withheld information and notes Hatch agreed to return to Alberta to face charges. The CFA began in 1942 to help southern ranchers with cattle financing and feeding.

Wilson faces split over Britain backing of Vietnam policy
London reports a widening rift in Prime Minister Wilson's Labour government over American Vietnam policy. About 20 left MPs cabled Foreign Secretary Stewart to dissociate Britain from napalm and gas use in South Vietnam, while some right-wing MPs may privately press Wilson to oppose U.S. methods. The United States says the gas used has only temporary effects and is similar to riot control tear gas.
