Belfast teenager held without trial
An 18 year old Belfast girl Ann Walsh hairdresser was arrested at her home in a Roman Catholic area and held for questioning in connection with bombing incidents. The Crown solicitor will argue why she should not be released and the court may revoke the habeas corpus order. The move could inflame republican feelings as 150 detainees remain held without trial. Earlier the IRA blew up a car showroom in north Belfast after a five minute warning.

Northwest negotiations continue over wage dispute with OCAW
Negotiations in the wage dispute between Northwest Nitro-Chemical Ltd of Medicine Hat and the Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers Union proceed as the strike deadline nears. The union served a two day strike notice during mediation and warns action may be avoided if talks stay constructive. OCAW's Dave Pretty says no settlement yet though talks continue. The union seeks 4.85 per hour by January 1 1973 versus a company offer of 4.60 by November 1 1973. Management says the plant began shutting units late last night to enable safe shutdown if a strike occurs Thursday at noon.
