Conflicts fear at law and order to week in review
A week of labor unrest and political tension across the Bay Area and beyond featured PLP protests against union drives, Panthers backing strike relief during a GM dispute, and county officials pushing prison reform. Separate cases saw a home remodeling firm charged with grand theft, urban renewal plans for Hayward tied to a 4 million Bay Area Rapid Transit project, and a 45 million jail modernization suggested by Sheriff Madigan. International events included Canadian and Red China diplomatic moves, Quebec terrorism responses, and Nixon signing an anti crime bill amid campus and bomber threats.
