The office of the Governor of Northern Ireland was created. The office assumed the role previously held by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for the prior 750 years. The charge of the office was to "do and execute in due manner as respects Northern Ireland all things which by virtue of the Act and our said Letters Patent of 27 April 1921 or otherwise belonged to the office of Lord Lieutenant at the time of the passing of the Irish Free State Constitution Act 1922."
This office would only exist until July 18, 1973.
Gabriel Józef Narutowicz a hydroelectric engineering and politician was chosen to be the first President of Poland. He'd serve for five days after assuming office on December 11, as he was assassinated on December 16.
John Elroy Sanford, better known by his stage name Redd Foxx, was born in St. Louis.
Foxx came up with a raunchy nightclub act before being cast in Sanford and Son in 1972, which propelled him into national fame. He was legitimately great in the role in which he portrayed an aged (beyond his actual years) father to a son who co-owned a junkyard with him. The series had a predominate African American cast and dealt with the themes of the time, running until 1977. A hugely popular series, it is still well remembered, and oddly its name is recalled in the Wyoming restaurant chain name "Sanfords".
