U. S. "WHITE PAPER" DETAILS RED AGGRESSION
The United States issues a White Paper indicating North Vietnam for aggression in Southeast Asia. Government presses worked around the clock to print copies for delivery to United Nations representatives and to nations around the world.

Troops found eighty tons of Chinese arms hidden in the jungle near the sinking.

ST. GODDARD CREATES NEW RECORD TO WIN FAMOUS DOG DERBY
(127)
QUEBEC, P.Q., Canada -- With his powerful team of cross-breeds of Malamutes and Russian wolf-hounds straining every muscle, the Canadian Olympic champion completes the gruelling 41-mile "mush" with a new course record, winning by a narrow margin of two minutes from Shorty Russick, famous 50-year-old Western driver. Although Russick breaks three marks during the terrific race over the snow-covered trails, St. Goddard finishes with a total elapsed time of 10 hours, 28 minutes for the three laps, eclipsing the best efforts of Russick, Seppala, Girard and a host of other crack dog-sled drivers, annexing a spectacular victory in the "mush" classic of the continent.
