Arms and 38th World Wars Major Arms Trade Survey
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that the United States, Soviet Union, Britain, and France supplied over 9 percent of major arms to Third World nations amid ongoing conflicts. The US remains the largest supplier, accounting for nearly half of such arms, with total major arms exports rising to over $1.5 billion annually by 1970, a 9 percent yearly increase. The Soviet Union has become the second largest supplier, with stocks of MIG aircraft and other weaponry noted. China’s exports are small but its arms training aid reaches many countries, especially in Africa and Asia. The study was prepared by five researchers led by Frank Blackaby.

Ohio lawmakers near fresh bid to pass income tax bill
A fourth House-Senate conference committee was to be named to restart efforts on a budget tax bill. The Senate defeated a personal and corporate income tax measure 17-15, with Gov. Gilligan backing it. Ten Democrats and Republicans exchanged positions as debate stretched past 11 p.m. amid illness and shifting loyalties. The plan would levy .5-4% on personal income and 4-8% on corporate income to fund an $8 billion budget through 1973, with no floor action expected this week.
