Olympic crisis deepens as Montreal under threat of withdrawal
A crisis meeting of the inner cabinet discussed Montreal's future hosting of the 1976 Games amid Canada’s warning that walkouts could force the city to surrender the site. Quebec Premier Bourassa stressed social order over the Olympics and warned delays could jeopardize the event, risking millions and thousands of jobs. The talks aim to find a last minute substitute site if needed before construction disruptions intensify. The piece also notes the USGA Women’s Open will be played at Atlantic City in July with a $50,000 purse and ABC coverage.
