EEC summit tackles tough market issues in Madrid
Leaders of the 12 European Economic Community nations opened a two day summit in Madrid to push toward a single European market by 1982. Britain resists a single currency and central bank while West Germany signals concession on a monetary plan. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher faces isolation over a social Charter, as behind the scenes talks begin on sovereignty and trade barrier goals. Felipe Gonzalez welcomes delegates amid a Joan Miro mosaic at the convention center.

Soviet submarine catches fire off Norway
A Soviet Echo II class nuclear submarine suffered a main power plant malfunction causing a fire in the Norwegian Sea. The vessel, spotted northwest of South Island in Finnmark, shut its reactor and moved toward Murmansk under diesel power with no casualties or radiation leaks reported. Norwegian and Soviet authorities coordinated rescue efforts, with vessels and aircraft dispatched and civilian ships not needed. This followed a prior Soviet loss in the region a week earlier and a prior fatal incident in April.
