October 2, 1966 (Sunday)
  • Forty-three refugees from Cuba, along with a crew member, drowned after waves caused by the 125-mile-per-hour winds of Hurricane Inez swamped the twin-engine cruiser operated by Enrique "El Falco" Gonzalez. The craft broke apart in shark-infested waters while bringing the passengers to Florida. Gonzalez and one refugee, Jorge Garcia, clung to a raft for four days before being rescued by a freighter, but Garcia died shortly after being flown to a hospital at Homestead. Relatives of the victims had paid Gonzalez $1,000 apiece for each refugee for the chance to escape Cuba, and Gonzalez and first mate Enrique Oliva had departed while the hurricane was still in progress, risking the safety of their passengers because the Cuban patrol boats were tied up by the storm as well. Of ten people who were able to make it into a life raft, eight were swept off of it by powerful wave.[6]
  • The once-thriving town of Quandahl, Iowa, located in Allamakee County, was sold at a public auction for $15,300. Founded by immigrants from Norway in the 19th century, the unincorporated village had had a bank, post office, dry goods and hardware stores, a grocery store and other businesses only 30 years earlier before a steady decline in the economy.[7][8][9]
  • The 1966 United States Grand Prix was held at Watkins Glen Grand Prix Race Course, and was won by Jack Brabham.
  • The first in a series of four plays in the Theatre 625 anthology strand, titled "Talking to a Stranger", was broadcast on BBC2.[10] Hailed by critics as one of the most important television dramas of the 1960s, it would go on to be placed seventy-eighth in a 2000 poll of industry professionals conducted by the British Film Institute to determine the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes of the 20th century.[11]
Jack Brabham
Sandy Koufax
  • The 1966 Major League Baseball regular season came to a close as Sandy Koufax pitched the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies to clinch the National League pennant and the right to face the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series.[12] In the American League, the perennial pennant-winners, the New York Yankees, finished in last place for the first time since 1913. With 70 wins and 89 losses, they were half a game behind the Boston Red Sox, and 26 1/2 games out of first place, despite a 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on the last day.[13]
  • The Soviet military newspaper Red Star published an article that officially confirmed suspicions that military advisers from the U.S.S.R. were aiding the North Vietnamese. According to the article, rocket specialists had been sent to train the Vietnamese on how to fire surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, and had been forced to dodge bombing runs made by the United States.[14]
  • Born: Thor Gjermund Eriksen, Norwegian journalist and editor, Director-General of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, in Oslo

October 3, 1966 (Monday)
  • The Congress of Brazil voted to select Artur da Costa e Silva as the nation's 23rd President. Costa e Silva, a former General of the Brazilian Army and the hand-picked selection of President Humberto Castelo Branco, was unopposed, and received 295 votes from the majority party in Congress, the ARENA (Aliança REnovadora NAcional, or National Renewal Alliance). The opposing party, the Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (MDB), had only one-third of the seat in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, and did not nominate a candidate, so Costa e Silva received the votes of 295 of the 472 electors.[16][17]
  • Tunisia severed diplomatic relations with the United Arab Republic.
  • In the United Kingdom, the Morpeth to Reedsmouth line of the Great North Eastern Railway was closed.
  • Only one month before the general election, U.S. Representative Charles Weltner of Georgia removed his name from the ballot, because he could not uphold his signed oath to support the nominees of the state Democratic Party. "I cannot compromise with hate... I cannot vote for Lester Maddox," he said, referring to the segregationist who had won the Democratic nomination primary.[18] Fletcher Thompson, the Republican candidate, would go on to beat the replacement Democratic candidate, Archie Lindsey.
Rolf Sievert
  • Died: Rolf Sievert, 70, Swedish physicist who pioneered the measurement of safe doses of radiation for medical treatment. The "sievert", abbreviated as "Sv" is the name that the International Committee for Weights and Measures would create in 1979 for a 100 roentgen unit of radiation dosage, and 1 Sv is the maximum cumulative radiation that a NASA astronaut is allowed during a career.[19] Other units named for Sievert are the millisievert (mSv) and the microsievert (μSv).

King Moshoehoe II

October 5, 1966 (Wednesday)
Kim Il Sung
  • North Korea's leader Kim Il Sung delivered a speech to the Korean Workers' Party that would later serve as "a rare instance... in which the United States was able to eventually look back and realize that later actions could be traced back to this specific threatening signal." Specifically, Kim called on his followers to "wage a positive struggle against U.S. imperialism", in the form of limited warfare against the American military presence in South Korea. Almost immediately, there was a surge of provocations at the Korean Demilitarized Zone, and the most aggressive action of all, the 1968 seizure of the USS Pueblo and its crew.[25]
  • UNESCO signed the Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers. This event is now celebrated as World Teachers' Day.
  • The 1964 murder conviction and death sentence of Jack Ruby was reversed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on grounds that the trial judge should have granted a motion for a change of venue to somewhere other than Dallas. "Jack Ruby was forced to trial under the most adverse, unusual, and extraordinary circumstances that this member of this court has yet to consider," Judge W.T. McDonald wrote in a concurring opinion. The Court remanded the case with instructions for a change of venue and a new trial. Ruby's fatal shooting of accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had been witnessed by more people than any murder in history, as millions of people had watched the crime take place on live television on November 24, 1963.[26] Although a new trial would be scheduled for February in Wichita Falls, Texas, Ruby would become sick with pneumonia on December 9, and would die of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967, at Parkland Memorial Hospital, where John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald had both been pronounced dead.
  • What would be described later as "the first successful, condemnatory burning of the Australian flag in recent memory" [27] took place in Canberra outside The Lodge, the official residence of the Prime Minister, as a group of 30 students protested against Australia's continued involvement in the Vietnam War. A prior attempt, on September 9, had been stopped by angry bystanders.
  • Born: Sean Carroll, American theoretical physicist, in Philadelphia; Inessa Kravets, Russian athlete and holder of the women's world record for the triple jump for more than 20 years; in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union

  • Eighteen teenagers from Cité des Jeunes High School, and a 21 year old driver, were killed in Dorion, Quebec, when their school bus was struck by a Canadian National Railways freight train at a railroad crossing. The 42 passengers had recently won student government elections, and were on their way to a dance at nearby Hudson. At 7:35 p.m., the bus had pulled onto the tracks and hadn't completed its crossing when the freight train sliced through it at 60 miles per hour.[33][34]
  • The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, announced for the first time that NASA was considering JPL's suggestion for what would become the "Grand Tour program" after JPL aerospace engineer Gary Flandro pointed out the approach of a rare opportunity for exploration of four outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune with one spacecraft.[35] Flandro had noted that if a probe could be readied for launch within 12 years, the four planets would be closely aligned so that an optimal liftoff date of October 7, 1978 would reach all four over a nine year voyage; a similar positioning of the planets would not happen again for 180 years. Homer Joe Stewart, JPL's manager of advanced studies, would tell the press a month later that by the late 1970s, solar-electric systems could be developed for taking advantage of gravity assist (commonly called the "slingshot effect") to use one planet's gravitational field to propel a probe at high speed to the next planet on the tour.[36] Given funding for two probes in case one failed, NASA would launch both in the summer of 1977, with Voyager 2 lifting off on August 20, 1977 and Voyager 1 16 days later on September 5. The alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will not happen again until the year 2155.[37]
  • The Soviet Union declared that all Chinese students must leave the country before the end of October. According to the Soviet news agency TASS, the order came under "the principle of reciprocity" after the Communist Chinese government had declared on September 20 that it would cease allowing Soviet exchange students to study at Chinese universities.[38]
  • In a major foreign policy speech in New York City to the National Conference of Editorial Writers, U.S. President Johnson said that if the Soviet Union reduced its military forces in central Europe (East Germany and Czechoslovakia in particular), the United States would do the same and would urge its NATO allies to follow suit.[39] "Europe is partitioned," he said, and referring to Germany, added "An unnatural line runs through the heart of a very great and a very proud nation. History warns us that until this harsh division has been resolved, peace in Europe will never be secure. We must turn to one of the great unfinished tasks of our generation--and that unfinished task is making Europe whole again".[40]
  • Born: Sherman Alexie, American filmmaker and poet, in Spokane, Washington
  • Died:

October 8, 1966 (Saturday)
  • An attempt to protect ten offshore oil workers from the approach of Hurricane Inez ended in tragedy when the evacuation helicopter crashed only seconds after Shell Oil employees had climbed aboard. The Bell 204 had lifted off from oil platform, but fell 300 feet into the Gulf of Mexico only 30 seconds after takeoff, killing all 11 people on board.[42]
  • Two days before Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko met with U.S. President Lyndon Johnson, the Soviet Union announced that it was rejecting the United Kingdom's six-point plan to end the Vietnam War. British Foreign Secretary George Brown met with Gromyko in London, and proposed that the two nations arrange a peace conference in Geneva. The Soviet position was that, until North Vietnam requested a conference, the U.S.S.R. would not push for peace negotiations.[43]

October 12, 1966 (Wednesday)
  • Only five months after it had become independent from the United Kingdom, Guyana found that its territory was being encroached upon by the neighboring nation of Venezuela. In February, Ankoko Island, located in the Cuyuni River that separated Venezuela and Guyana, had been divided by an agreement signed in Geneva, but Venezuelan troops moved onto the Guyanese half of the island after the British government had withdrawn.[55]
Castelo Branco
  • Nine days after his civilian successor had been elected by the national congress, the Brazilian president, General Humberto Castelo Branco caused a constitutional crisis by issuing a decree removing six of the legislators from office. General Castelo Branco acted under a previously authorized procedure referred to as cassação de mandato (cancellation of mandate), despite having assured the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Adauto Lúcio Cardoso, that there would be no further cancellations. Cardoso defied his President, ruled that the six congressmen could continue to serve, and offered them an opportunity to defend themselves in Congress. Castelo Branco's use of force brought the two parties, ARENA and MDB, together in challenging the President, and on October 20, he would respond by closing the Brazilian Congress for one month, citing "counterrevolutionary elements who attempt to bring tumult" as his reason.[56]
  • Gunter Schuller's opera, The Visitation, premiered in Hamburg, West Germany.[57]

October 14, 1966 (Friday)
Jo Cals
  • Jo Cals resigned as the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, along with his entire cabinet, after his own Catholic People's Party withdrew its support for him and pushed through a vote of no confidence. In the 150 member Second Chamber of the Staten-Generaal, the vote was 75-62 against the Cals government because of its unsuccessful fiscal policies, and only four of the 50 deputies from Cals's party supported him.[61]
  • The 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings was observed, celebrating the pivotal October 14, 1066 confrontation of the Norman Conquest of England, the death in combat of King Harold II, and the beginning of a new regal dynasty under William the Conqueror became king after his armies killed. To mark the occasion, the General Post Office of the United Kingdom released 197,000,000 commemorative four-penny stamps throughout Britain. Philatelists purchased sheets of the stamps for their collections, and some found errors that increased the rarity (and the value) of their purchase, including one example in Parkstone where the image of the Queen had been omitted.[62]
  • After his return from his tour of South Vietnam, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara sent a secret memo to President Johnson conceding that the U.S. effort in the Vietnam War was failing, noting that the government of North Vietnam "knows that we can't achieve our goals. The prognosis is bad that the war can be brought to a satisfactory conclusion within the next two years... I see no reasonable way to bring the war to an end soon." [63]
  • The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) was established as the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States went into effect upon ratification by 20 nations.[64]
  • The North Yemen Civil War took on a larger dimension when government air raids villages in the northern mountains, including the bombing of two villages in Saudi Arabia.[65]
  • The Soviet optical film-return reconnaissance satellite Kosmos 129 was launched from Plesetsk Cosmodrome.[66]

Some Hollywood squares
  • At 11:30 a.m. Eastern time, The Hollywood Squares made its television debut as a new game show on the NBC television network.[76] The show, hosted by Peter Marshall, featured nine celebrities (mostly comedians) as panelists appearing on a set evocative of the game tic-tac-toe, and regularly featuring suggestive jokes and double entendres; although Paul Lynde would become identified with his place on the board, Ernest Borgnine occupied the center square on the first broadcast. The Squares format would inspire similar shows in other nations, starting with Celebrity Squares on Network Ten in Australia.[77]
  • In Denver, Colorado, an American organization called Housewives for Lower Food Prices began a boycott of five major supermarket chains in the area, including Safeway, Red Owl, King Soopers, and Furr's groceries.[78] Publicity from the boycott led other groups in North America to begin their own campaigns to avoid overpriced food chains, spreading to cities like Dallas, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Charlotte, North Carolina and Windsor, Ontario.[79] and then to nearly half of the states in the U.S.[80] The protests (which included complaints about prices being driven up by giveaways and trading stamps programs would lead to Congressional investigations and ultimately stricter penalties for anti-competitive measures by grocers.[81]
  • The 165 square mile Lochinvar Ranch was acquired by the government of Zambia from brothers Harry Wulfsohn and Edwin Wulfsohn, for 40,000 British pounds,[82] and transformed from a former cattle ranch into a wildlife preserve, which would reopen as the Lochinvar National Park in 1972. The park, with 420 different species of animals, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the southern African nation.[83]
  • Twelve New York firefighters were killed, and 17 others injured, in what was, at that time, the worst disaster in the history of the New York City Fire Department.[84] Most were members of Engine Company 18, and were on the ground floor of the Wonder Drug Store on East 23rd street when the terrazzo floor beneath them collapsed, plunging them into the fire in the basement and bringing down the walls on top of them.[85][86]

October 20, 1966 (Thursday)
  • Soviet First Secretary Leonid Brezhnev and his guests (including Fidel Castro of Cuba, Nicolae Ceaușescu of Romania, János Kádár of Hungary, Willi Stoph of East Germany, Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal and the Communist Party leaders of several other Soviet allies) were at Baikonur Cosmodrome to witness Operation Palma 3, the launch of five rockets and missiles. In addition to the powerful N1 rocket that placed a seventh Molniya-1 communications satellite into orbit,[94] the leaders also watched four ICBM launches, with a UR-100 (known in the West as the SS-11 Sego), an R-36 (the SS-9 Scarp and two R-36 missiles (SS-7 Saddler), one from a missile silo and the other from the ground.[95]
  • The West German submarine U-9 was launched. After being decommissioned in 1993, the 144 foot long sub would be displayed as a permanent exhibit outside the Technology Museum in the city of Speyer, Rheinland-Pfalz.
  • Born: Stefan Raab, German television comedian and musician, in Köln, West Germany
  • Died:
    • Harry F. Byrd, 79, U.S. Senator for Virginia for more than 32 years and one of the most powerful men in the U.S. Senate until his resignation for health reasons in 1965. As Governor of Virginia from 1926 to 1930, he reduced the state government from 100 departments to only 12, and turned a deep deficit into a financial surplus in four years, and called himself the "fiscal watchdog" over the federal budget. In 1960, despite not being on the ballot for president, Byrd received 15 electoral votes from dissatisfied Electoral College members in Mississippi, Alabama and Oklahoma.[96]

October 21, 1966 (Friday)
  • An avalanche killed 116 schoolchildren and 28 adults at Pantglas Junior School in the South Wales village of Aberfan. At 9:15 in the morning, shortly after the school day had started, a slag heap (or spoil tip) overlooking the school suddenly collapsed, sending two million tons of rock, coal and mud cascading down the hill.[97] Over the years, the heap had risen to a height of 80 feet, until heavy rains weakened it. Most of the children, who were buried alive in their classrooms, ranged in age from eight years old to ten years old.[98] It would later be discovered to have been caused by a build-up of water in the accumulated rock and shale, which suddenly started to slide downhill in the form of slurry.[99][100]
  • The AFL-NFL merger was approved by the United States Congress. According to later reports, Congressman Hale Boggs, the majority whip of the U.S. House of Representatives, and U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Russell B. Long, both of Louisiana, had conditioned their facilitation of the merger, through an antitrust law exemption, on the award of an NFL franchise to New Orleans. As NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle and Boggs were walking to the House chamber, Rozelle reportedly said, "I don't know how I can ever thank you enough for this," and Boggs replied, "What do you mean you don't know how to thank me? New Orleans gets an immediate franchise in the NFL." When Rozelle said that he would "do everything I can", Boggs stopped, walked back toward the committee room, and said, "Well, we can always call off the vote..." [101][102] The New Orleans Saints franchise would be announced eleven days later, on November 1.[103]
  • The Yakovlev Yak-40 airliner made its maiden flight.[104]
  • French philosopher Jacques Derrida delivered a lecture La Structure, le signe et le jeu dans le discours des sciences humaines ("Structure, sign, and play in the discourse of the human sciences") to a structuralism colloquium at Johns Hopkins University, bringing his work on literary theory to international prominence.

October 22, 1966 (Saturday)
  • British spy George Blake escaped from the maximum security Wormwood Scrubs prison, where he was in the fifth year of a 42-year prison sentence for espionage.[105][106] Blake, who had been the British vice-consul to South Korea when the North Koreans invaded in 1950, had been a prisoner in the Communist nation until 1953, and became an adherent of Communism during his incarceration, and a spy for the Soviet Union after he resumed service to the British government. Blake would successfully flee to Moscow.[107][108]
  • The Philippines inter-island steamer MV Pioneer Leyte collided with an American freighter ship, the Golden State, and sank off Manila with the loss of 44 lives.[109][110]

October 23, 1966 (Sunday)
  • INS Nilgiri, the first Indian Navy ship built in India, rather than a foreign shipyard, was commissioned. In a collaboration with Yarrow Shipbuilders of Scotland, the first of the Nilgiri-class frigates had been constructed in Mumbai at the Mazagon Docks.[111]
  • Che Guevara left Cuba for the last time, flying from Havana to Moscow with a Cuban passport in the name Luis Hernandez Galvan, then to Prague as Ramon Benitez of Uruguay, to Vienna as Adolfo Mena of Uruguay, and, ultimately, to Bolivia, where he would be killed in an ambush on October 9, 1967.[112]
  • Died: Claire McDowell, 88, American silent film actress

October 24, 1966 (Monday)
  • The retrial of Dr. Sam Sheppard began, four months after the U.S. Supreme Court had concluded that he had been denied a fair trial and had been convicted (on December 21, 1954) of murdering his wife. The new proceedings would bring fame to Dr. Sheppard's new lawyer, F. Lee Bailey of Boston. Sheppard would be found not guilty on November 16.[113]
  • Born: Roman Abramovich, Russian billionaire businessman, investor and politician, in Saratov, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union
  • Died: Sofya Yanovskaya, 72, Soviet mathematician;[114] and Hans Dreier, 81, Academy Award-winning art director

October 25, 1966 (Tuesday)
  • The People's Republic of China successfully test-fired a nuclear missile for the first time, with an accurate hit and an atomic blast at a pre-determined target in the Lop Nor desert site.[115][116]
  • Meeting in Manila, the seven member nations of the South East Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) agreed to a common plan for ending their participation in the Vietnam War. The Manila Communique, signed by U.S. President Lyndon Johnson, South Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky, and other leaders, the nations endorsed a six-point peace proposal and offered to completely withdraw the allied forces from South Vietnam within six months after "the other side withdraws its forces to the North, ceases infiltration, and the level of violence thus subsides." [117][118] However, North Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Van Dong, referring to the Munich Agreement between Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain in 1938, responded, "Never Munich again, in whatever form," and pledged that his nation "will fight until final victory against the U.S. imperialists." [119][120]
  • A military court in Jakarta sentenced Indonesia's ex-foreign minister Subandrio to death, on charges of being involved in the 30 September Movement.[121][122] The sentence would be reduced to life imprisonment upon the intervention of the British government.
Gibraltar seen from Spain
  • Three days after accusing Britain's Royal Air Force of flying over Spanish territory in order to reach Gibraltar [123] Spain closed off its border crossing at La Línea de la Concepción, the only land connection between the British colony and the rest of Europe.[124]
  • The Luna 12 space probe, launched by the Soviet Union on October 22, entered orbit around the Moon in order to photograph potential landing sites for a manned mission. With higher resolution television cameras (1100 scan lines) and a closer orbital approach than previous Soviet probes (as near as 103 kilometers), Luna 12 returned images in which 15 meter long objects could be discerned. Most of the photos, taken from a nearly equatorial lunar orbit, were not released.[125][126]
  • The British House of Commons voted 307-239 to approve the Labour government's compulsory freeze on wages and prices, with a 500-pound sterling fine against violators.[127]
  • Died: Floyd MacMillan Davis, 70, American illustrator

October 26, 1966 (Wednesday)
  • A fire aboard the aircraft carrier USS Oriskany in the Gulf of Tonkin killed 44 crewmen and seriously injured 15 others. Thirty-four of the dead were officers, and 24 of them were U.S. Navy pilots. At 7:21 a.m., the fire began in a locker containing flares and spread through the forward hangar bay, eventually burning parts of five decks.[128][129] An investigation found that the fire had been caused initially by the careless handling of a single magnesium parachute flare, which accidentally ignited after two sailors were returning unused flares from aircraft to a storage compartment. In a panic, one of the men tossed the flare into a storage locker containing 700 more flares, setting off flames hot enough to melt metal.[130] The loss of life would have been greater had it not been for the work of crewmen who were able to push 343 of the ship's bombs, some of them weighing 2,000 pounds, overboard.[131]
  • The 15 member North Atlantic Council voted unanimously to move NATO headquarters from Paris to Brussels, giving up its $9,000,000 building after only six years.[132]
LBJ in Vietnam

October 27, 1966 (Thursday)
  • The United Nations General Assembly voted, 114-2, to end the South African Mandate over the former German colony of South West Africa, with the two "no" votes coming from South Africa and from Portugal, whose colony of Angola bordered the Mandate territory. France and the United Kingdom abstained.[136] The post of United Nations Commissioner for South-West Africa was established, and Anton Vratuša would be the first office holder, unable to administer the colony, however, because South Africa maintained that the U.N. had no right to interfere with the 1920 decision of the defunct League of Nations.
  • Erich Mende resigned his post as Vice-Chancellor of West Germany. Mende, the Chairman of the Free Democratic Party, quit along with three other FDP members, Finance Minister Rolf Dahlgruen, Economic Cooperation Minister (and future President) Walter Scheel, and Housing Minister Ewald Bucher. The four were all part of the coalition that made up the second Cabinet of Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, leaving Erhard of the Christian Democratic Union with a minority government.[137] Hans-Christoph Seebohm was appointed to succeed Mende. Chancellor Erhard himself, unable to form an acceptable government, would resign on November 30.[138]
  • In the United States, the CBS television network premiered It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown as a Halloween-themed animated presentation based on the comic strip Peanuts. The popular cartoon episode has been shown annually since then during the last week in October, for 35 years on CBS, and (since 2001) on the ABC network.[139]
  • Born: Matt Drudge, American political commentator who created The Drudge Report; in Takoma Park, Maryland
  • Died: Barry Faulkner, 85, American mural painter

October 28, 1966 (Friday)
  • The People's Republic of China announced, through its official Xinhua News Agency, that it claimed sovereignty over territory within the independent Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan. According to the Chinese announcement, the fertile Dong Nang grasslands at the base of the Himalayan Mountains were owned by China and Bhutanese farmers who used the land for cattle grazing would have to pay taxes to the Beijing government.[140]
  • An investigation was started by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of games of chance sponsored by supermarkets, including "supermarket bingo" and sweepstakes, in order to determine whether the contests were illegal, unwinnable, or had increased food prices. The FTC called on grocery stores to voluntarily eliminate "any practices that are unfair or deceptive or that unjustifiably add to the American housewife's grocery bill." [141]

  • Died: Robert Charpentier, 50, French cyclist who won three gold medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.

October 29, 1966 (Saturday)
  • Nineteen airline passengers from the African nation of Guinea, including the nation's Foreign Minister and it delegation to the Organization of African Unity meeting in Ethiopia, were removed from a Pan American World Airways flight when it made a stop in Accra, the capital of Ghana. All 19, led by Foreign Minister Joseph Ankrah, were detained as prisoners by the government, which said that it was retaliating against Guinea for imprisoning Ghanaian citizens. The U.S. Ambassador to the African nation of Guinea, Robinson McIlvaine, was placed under house arrest at his residence in Conakry, in retaliation for the imprisonment of the Guinean Foreign Minister in Ghana. The Guinean government charged that McIlvaine and the United States were responsible for the Ghana incident.[142] The OAU and the Ethiopian Justice Minister would mediate the confrontation, and the 19 prisoners would be released on November 5, after it was determined that none of the alleged prisoners in Guinea wished to return to Ghana.[143]
  • Less than three months after its launch on August 10, Lunar Orbiter 1 was deliberately pulled out of orbit by NASA Ground Control, and crashed into the Moon. The NASA decision, which came even as the Soviet lunar orbiter, Luna 12, was sending back photographs to the U.S.S.R., was done in order to avoid interference with the Lunar Orbiter 2 probe that would launch on November 6.[144] The crash was accomplished by transmitting a command to fire a retrorocket that slowed the probe's speed from 2,150 to 1,750 miles per hour, causing a sufficient loss of momentum to make the vehicle glide to an impact on the far side of the Moon.[145] Regarding all four Lunar Orbiters, a historian would write later, "With a total cost of the entire project at $163 million, they were almost certainly the world's most expensive disposable cameras."[146]
  • The first regeneration of Doctor Who took place, as the Doctor's face changed from that of actor William Hartnell to that of his successor, Patrick Troughton. Hartnell, at 58, was supposedly exhausted from the production schedule,[147] so in the story, The Tenth Planet, the Doctor remarked "This old body of mine is wearing a bit thin," and collapsed. With the aid of a slow mix and dissolve, the closeup view of Hartnell's face was gradually replaced by that of the 46-year-old Troughton.[148]
  • The National Organization for Women (NOW) was officially incorporated during its first national conference, held in Washington, DC, and adopted a preamble that declared its purpose to be "to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all the privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men."[149]
  • Celtic defeated Rangers, 1-0, to win the 1966 Scottish League Cup Final, held at Hampden Park in Glasgow in front of 94,532 spectators.[150][151]
  • Valued at half a million dollars, the Antonio da Correggio painting Madonna and Child with the infant Saint John the Baptist was stolen from the Art Institute of Chicago. Seventeen hours later, an anonymous phone call was made to the Institute, and the 450-year-old painting, wrapped in brown paper and tied with a string, was found in a wastebasket downtown, with moderate and permanent damage.[152]
  • Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and her consort Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, visited Aberfan to pay their respects to those who died in the disaster.[153]

  • Cheri Jo Bates, an 18-year old freshman at Riverside Community College in northern California, was brutally murdered after leaving the campus library at closing time.[156] When her body was found the next morning, she had been "slashed three times in the chest, once in the back, and seven times in her throat" with a wounds "so extensive that she was nearly decapitated".[157] An anonymous letter, claiming responsibility for the killing, would be received by city police on November 29,[158] with the warning that Bates "is not the first and she will not be the last". The form of the murders, and the wording of the letters, were similar enough to that of the Zodiac Killer [159] that Bates would be considered to have likely been his first victim.
  • The Delhi High Court was established, with four judges.[160]
  • The Montreal Alouettes defeated the Ottawa Rough Riders 1-0 in the lowest-scoring game in Canadian Football League history and a record for modern pro football history. The Als' score came when kicker Peter Kempf attempted a 25-yard field goal and the wind sent the ball wide; the Riders' Don Gilbert fell on the missed kick in the end zone, which gave Montreal a single point under CFL rules. A previous 1-0 game had happened in 1949, before the CFL was founded by a merger of two leagues.[161]

  • Staff Sergeant Herbert W. Boeckenhaupt, a 23-year old U.S. Air Force officer, was arrested at March Air Force Base in California, where he worked as a communications repairman and had top secret clearance.[163] After the FBI presented evidence that he had conspired to deliver national defense secrets to Soviet Embassy counselor Aleksey R. Malinin, Boeckenhaupt would be convicted of espionage and sentenced to 30 years in federal prison [164] and Malinin would be expelled from the United States. He was ordered to be released from prison by a Federal Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in March, 1978 after a writ of habeas corpus was filed, and granted, that he was being held improperly for non-statutory reasons. The Court granted the petition for release. The government did not appeal the decision.
  • A footlocker, containing the materials from the 1963 autopsy of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, was brought to the National Archives Building following an authorization by the Kennedy family, and opened in the presence of the officials from the Archives, the Government Services Administration, and the U.S. Department of Justice, on condition that the contents not be available for five years. When an inventory was made, eight of the nine sets of items were available, the stainless steel container that had contained Kennedy's brain was found to be empty. Explanations differ, with some authors believing it to be part of the coverup of a conspiracy, the custodian, Burke Marshall would testify in 1978 that the brain tissue was disposed of by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in order to prevent it from being "placed on public display in future years in an institution such as the Smithsonian." [165]
  • U.S. President Johnson, on his first visit to Malaysia, stopped at Kampung Labu Jaya village in Negeri Sembilan state. The village would rename itself Kampung L.B. Johnson in honor of the 36th American president.[166]

He had been convicted in 1935 of the murder of FBI Agent Samuel Cowley. Chase, 64 years old, would spend the last years of his life as a janitor in California before dying of cancer on October 5, 1973.[167]
