TALK OF A MARCH ELECTION continued but Mr. George Brown

went ahead with his early warning legislation nevertheless. Mr. Edward Heath began a campaign to save the No. 89 bus route and Mr. Douglas Houghton prophe- sied a new Ministry of Social Security. Mr. Milton Obote had five of his ministers arrested in Uganda, President Nkrumah set off on a visit to Ho Chi Minh which seemed to have little connection with the Commonwealth peace mission, there were rumbles and rumours of uprisings in Ecuador and Guatemala, and the Americans and Russians agreed to co-operate on a film life of Tchai- kovsky to be shot entirely in the Soviet Union.
