He became Undersecretary of State in 1943 and succeeded Cordell Hull as Secretary of State in December 1944. Mr. Stettinius was a member of the U.S. delegation to the Yalta Conference in 1945, but Harry Truman, who had succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt as President upon Mr. Roosevelt's death on April 12, thought that Mr. Stettinius was too soft on Communism. Mr. Stettinius resigned as Secretary of State on June 27, 1945, and was the first United States Ambassador to the United Nations, chairing the U.S. delegation at the UN's founding conference. He resigned in June 1946, and returned to the private sector. Mr. Stettinius died of a heart attack, nine days after his 49th birthday.

Edmonton 20 @ British Columbia 8 (First game of 2-game total points series)
Two interceptions late in the game paved the way for a dramatic Montreal comeback on a muddy field as the Alouettes edged the Tiger-Cats at Molson Stadium. Milt Campbell intercepted a Bernie Faloney pass, which was followed by a 67-yard pass from Sam Etcheverry to Tom Moran to the Hamilton 3-yard line. Mr. Etcheverry carried for a touchdown, converted by Bill Bewley, to tie the game at 14. Wes Gideon then intercepted another pass from Mr. Faloney; Mr. Etcheverry drove the Alouettes to the 1-yard line, from where he punted for the game-winning single on the last play. The win, before a crowd of 21,817, clinched the third and final playoff spot in the IRFU.
Dave Thelen carried 20 times for 99 yards and 2 touchdowns for the Rough Riders as they beat the Argonauts. He finished the season with 1,339 yards rushing, surpassing Pat Abbruzzi’s previous IRFU record of 1,248 from 1955. Ron Stewart and Ted Smale also scored touchdowns for Ottawa, while Gary Schreider contributed 4 converts and a field goal. Al Dorow, Al Schlosser, and Ron Stover scored Toronto’s touchdowns. Cookie Gilchrist, the IRFU scoring champion, added 2 converts and a single. 19,465 fans at CNE Stadium saw the Argonauts finish out of the playoffs for the fourth straight season and the sixth time in the last seven years.
A then-record playoff crowd of 33,993 showed up at Empire Stadium in Vancouver to see the Lions play the Eskimos in their first playoff game ever. After a scoreless first quarter, the Lions got on the scoreboard first on a short touchdown run by Don Vicic, converted by Vic Kristopaitis. The Eskimos, playing what head coach Eagle Keys called their best game of the season, eventually took control. Rookie Howie Schumm was a surprise star, rushing 5 times for 46 yards and a touchdown. Normie Kwong carried 10 times for 73 yards, while Johnny Bright rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown. The other Edmonton touchdown came on a pass from Jackie Parker to Jim Letcavits. Mr. Parker added 2 converts. Hal Sparrow’s punt single provided the Lions with their other point. The Edmonton defense did a good job of shutting down the B.C. running game, holding By Bailey to 40 yards on 11 carries and Willie Fleming to 36 on 8 carries.

U.S. President Richard Nixon delivered a policy speech on Latin America in which he said he would loosen restrictions on U.S. aid to Latin nations, treating all equally, regardless of whether their governments were democratic or dictatorial. He also stressed that the U.S. would be receptive to suggestions from the Latin Americans to give them a greater say in American aid programs.
Crime
U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Raphael Minichiello, a decorated Vietnam veteran who had escaped custody the previous day while en route to a court martial at Camp Pendleton, California to face a charge of breaking into the post exchange, hijacked a Trans World Airlines Boeing 707 at gunpoint on a flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles and forced the crew to fly him to Rome. In the course of the 6,900-mile flight, the plane made refuelling stops at Denver, New York, Bangor, and Shannon, Ireland while frustrated police and FBI agents stood by. The drama began at 4:42 A.M. when LC Minichiello ordered pilot Donald Cook to divert his flight to Denver, and permitted 39 passengers and 3 stewardesses to debark. With three remaining crew members as hostages, the flight continued to New York’s Kennedy Airport. FBI agents tried to board, but gave up after the skyjacker fired his rifle into the roof of the cockpit and threatened to shoot spectators unless they moved away. He permitted two overseas pilots to board, and the plane finally landed at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Airport after almost 20 hours. The Italian-born Marine then took off into the countryside at the wheel of a police car with airport police chief Pietro Guli as a hostage. He was captured a few hours later.
Colonel Robert B. Rheault, 43, the former Green Beret commander in Vietnam who had been charged with the murder of a South Vietnamese double agent but had never been tried on the charge, retired from the U.S. Army, apparently bitter and unsure of his future.

Greg Moore, 24. Canadian auto racing driver. A native of New Westminster, British Columbia and resident of Maple Ridge, Mr. Moore began racing in the Indy Lights circuit in 1993. He won 3 races in 1994 and then won 10 of 12 races and the Indy Lights championship in 1995 after joining the Player’s Forsythe team. Mr. Moore graduated to the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) circuit in 1996, finishing 9th in the overall standings, with a best finish of second at Nazareth. In 1997 he won at Milwaukee and Belle Isle, becoming the youngest driver to that time to win a CART race. In 1998 he won at Rio de Janeiro and passed Jimmy Vasser on the last lap to win the U.S. 500 at Michigan in a very exciting race that featured more than 60 lead changes. Mr. Moore won the season-opening race at Homestead, Florida in 1999, but lacked a competitive enough engine to compete for the championship. The Marlboro 500 at California Speedway in Fontana was due to be Mr. Moore’s final race with the Player’s Forsythe team; he had signed to join Penske Racing for 2000, as legendary owner Roger Penske believed that Mr. Moore possessed the ability to win a championship if he had the proper equipment. Early in the race, Richie Hearn skidded off the track at the exit of turn 2 and crashed into the wall, but walked away. Mr. Moore had started in 20th position, but after only about 10 laps of green flag racing, he had already passed 10 cars, and was enjoying the race. He then went off the track, possibly as a result of a gust of wind, at the same spot as Mr. Hearn a few laps earlier. Mr. Moore’s car flipped several times before finally hitting the infield wall upside-down at high speed. The g-forces on Mr. Moore’s body were the highest ever recorded in a CART race. He suffered serious head, neck, brain, and internal injuries, and was finally extricated from the car and flown by helicopter to Loma Linda University Medical Center. Attempts to revive Mr. Moore were unsuccessful, and he died about 45 minutes after the crash, while the race continued. The Player’s Forsythe team called their other driver, Patrick Carpentier, into the pits and retired him for the rest of the day. Adrian Fernandez won the race. Helio Castroneves took Mr. Moore’s place with Penske Racing and has enjoyed a successful career ever since. Greg Moore was posthumously inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2000. He was this blogger’s favourite driver, and a lot of the enjoyment of watching the races left with him.

Adrian Fernandez won the final CART race of the season, the Marlboro 500 at California Speedway in Fontana. Greg Moore was fatally injured early in the race, making this the second CART race that Mr. Fernandez had won during which a driver had been killed. At Toronto in 1996, rookie Jeff Krosnoff was killed instantly in a horrific crash on the second-last lap while Mr. Fernandez was on his way to his first career victory. That race was immediately red-flagged.

On a cold, windy, and occasionally snowy Sunday afternoon before 28,250 fans at McMahon Stadium, the Stampeders scored 17 points with the wind behind them in the 4th quarter to defeat the Alouettes and keep their hopes alive of finishing first in the West Division. Backup quarterback Mike McCoy threw 2 touchdown passes to Allen Pitts to give the Stampeders a 28-24 lead, and Mark McLoughlin extended the lead with a 46-yard field goal with just under 5 minutes remaining. Calgary led 14-13 at halftime, but the Stampeders were outscored 11-0 in the 3rd quarter when Montreal had the wind advantage. Kelvin Anderson, who was held to 42 yards on 15 carries, rushed 2 yards for a Calgary touchdown and caught a 23-yard pass from starting quarterback Dave Dickenson for another. Vince Danielsen led Calgary’s receivers with 7 catches for 149 yards.
