Chilean government crisis after deputy interior minister killed
Chile's leftist government faced a major crisis after Edmundo Perez Zujovic, former vice president and interior minister, was assassinated by alleged ultraleft militants. Allende declared a state of emergency, curfew, and rights suspensions as security forces hunted suspects. Police linked a 25 year old Ronald Rivera Calderon to the murder and a prior bank robbery, while stirring controversy over police power and intelligence leadership.

House Fight Expected On Sugar Allotment
The House faces renewal of the 1948 Sugar Act with debate over extending the program three more years. Supporters say it keeps a healthy domestic industry and quotas above world prices, while critics warn consumers pay higher prices and subsidies to foreign producers. The Agriculture Committee approved the measure 30 to 3 and may seek quota changes for South Africa and other nations, with potential tax and expropriation provisions.

AEC Breathes On Nuclear Power From Deep Heat
The Atomic Energy Commission says it is technically feasible to generate electricity by using nuclear explosions to release subterranean heat. Several concepts, including mobile and fortified plants, could supply 200 million watts for about 30 years, though economic viability remains unproven. The study notes many hot rock sources lie west of the Continental Divide, with prospecting methods not yet developed.
