Indian forces crossed the Meghna River with helicopter lifts to move 35 to 40 miles northeast of Dacca, while the Indian Air Force pressed attacks on enemy boats evacuating Pakistani troops. Pakistan denied capturing major towns and reported ground resistance. Prime Minister Gandhi rejected UN ceasefire calls, asserting India's aim for a Bangla Desh state. Pakistan said it would accept the UN pause. UN ceasefire talks continued.

Services pay and allowances up by one dollar
The Defence Minister announced officer and general staff increases effective next pay period but payable next year after regulations are tabled. About six million of the extra annual cost will be met from existing defence allocations. Widened education allowances and interim rental and accommodation changes are adopted. A work value study will shape officer salary scales, with ranks from lieutenant to colonel seeing varied adjustments, while other service ranks follow a pending review. The armed services pay committee's recommendations, from October, add about 34 million yearly for other ranks.

Tribunal urged for independent service pay commission
Report urges a high level independent tribunal to fix service pay and conditions. Government resists, proposes a high level committee to govern investigation and machinery, with several recommendations including a new officer salary scale, alignment of Brigadier Major pay, education allowances review, and a study of effects on service children's schooling amid frequent postings. The Kerr Committee is praised for its work, while medical and dental officer salaries remain on the old scales and naval ranks await separate assessment.

Court query on lights at deadly Canberra intersection
The Canberra Core oner Mr Dobson questioned the traffic light phasing at the Barton Highway Northbourne Avenue intersection after Mrs Margaret Beth Greer of Port Noarlunga died in a collision. He found she died October 10 from surgical shock and that her car likely ran a red light though nearby lights may have misled her. He noted she wore a lap seat belt and suggested belt use might have reduced injuries.
