In San Francisco a bomb ripped the 21st floor of the Standard Oil building while President Ford spoke nearby. No injuries reported.

Ford left the hotel soon after the blast amid warnings of further bombs. In New York, a bank extortion plot led to evacuations at Manhattan subway stations and the arrest of Edward Williams.
