The Commerce Department reports the balance of payments deficit improved in the April June quarter. Official reserve transactions show a $2.5 billion reduction to $831 million, while the net liquidity balance fell by $800 million to $2.8 billion from $3.1 billion. Speculation against the dollar persisted in late June and continued into July before easing. President Nixon's prior dollar devaluation reduced pressures, but last year still marked a record deficit of $29.7 billion.

Nitrobenzene used by IRA backfires in Belfast danger
In Belfast an IRA 19 year old is dying after handling nitrobenzene, a chemical used in dyes and synthetic fibers that can cause cancer. Two others, a youth and a girl, were killed last week when a nitrobenzene bomb exploded early in their car. The chemical is highly toxic, enters via skin, and has no cure. The IRA reportedly turned to nitrobenzene after raids cut its supply. Authorities say about 13,000 pounds of blasts substances were seized in two weeks.
