What happened on Tuesday October 07, 1975?

Here's what happened on October 07, 1975:

• Argentine Military Decree Authorizing Suppression of Insurgents During a critical period of political instability in Argentina, Acting President Italo Luder signed Decree 2772, granting the Argentine armed forces sweeping powers to combat guerrilla insurgents. The decree effectively authorized military forces to use extreme measures, including potential extrajudicial actions, to 'annihilate subversion' during the country's turbulent 'Dirty War' period.
• East Germany and Soviet Union Renew Friendship Treaty The German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and the Soviet Union signed a new 20-year Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, reinforcing their political and strategic alliance during the Cold War era. The treaty was set to run until 1995, though historical events would dramatically alter this timeline with the fall of the Berlin Wall and subsequent dissolution of both states.
• DINA Assassination Attempt on Chilean Exile Politician Chilean secret police (DINA) conducted a violent machine gun attack in Italy targeting Bernardo Leighton, a prominent exiled Chilean politician, and his wife Anita. The assassination attempt seriously wounded both targets, highlighting the far-reaching and brutal tactics of Chile's military regime during the mid-1970s.
• John Lennon Wins U.S. Deportation Battle After a four-year legal struggle, former Beatles member John Lennon successfully prevented his deportation from the United States. A U.S. Appeals Court panel, voting 2-1, reversed the Immigration and Naturalization Service's deportation order, marking a significant victory for Lennon and his ongoing residency in the country.
• U.S. Congress Overrides Presidential Veto on School Lunch Program In a decisive legislative action, the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly voted to override President Gerald Ford's veto of the federal school lunch and nutrition program extension. The vote demonstrated strong bipartisan support for child nutrition, with 397-18 in the House and 79-13 in the Senate supporting the program's continuation.
• Cincinnati Reds Triumph in Historic World Series The Cincinnati Reds clinched the 1975 World Series in a thrilling seventh game, defeating the Boston Red Sox 4-3. The broadcast set a new record for the most-watched sporting event in American history at the time, symbolizing the immense cultural significance of baseball in the mid-1970s.
• World Football League Collapses The owners of the World Football League voted 6-4 to disband the struggling professional football organization before completing its scheduled 20-game season. The league's financial difficulties and inability to compete with the NFL led to its premature dissolution, marking another failed attempt to challenge the dominant professional football establishment.
