Use of nuclear weapons 'lunacy'
WASHINGTON—(UPI)British Prime Minister Harold Wilson believes that U.S. use of tactical nuclear weapons in Vietnam would be "sheer lunacy" and would run the very great risk of escalation for the world.

U Thant goes to Kremlin
Thant was expected to meet North Vietnam's Moscow representative, Dang Quang Minh, be fore leaving. He was reported to have the Middle East as well as Vietnam on his talk agenda with Kosygin, diplomatic sources said.

MOSCOW — (UPI) — U.N. Secretary General Thant discussed Vietnam with Premier Alexei N. Kosygin in the Kremlin today and the official Soviet press called on the United States to start peace talks on Hanoi's terms.
Grumman Wildcat hit a suspension cable of the bridge Sept. 12, 1943. The body of the pilot was not found.
The Communist party newspaper Pravda said, "There are no obstacles whatever for the United States to negotiate if it seriously wants talks."
The reservists, Lt. Bruce Turnbull, 34, and Lt. Anthony Miller, 33, were en route to Los Alamitos Naval Air Station, near Long Beach, on a flight that was part of a weekend training exercise. They were attached to Reserve Attack Squadron 773.
E. R. Foley, chief engineer of the span, said the crash would not affect the soundness of the bridge because none of the main beams were damaged.
