International Money Crisis Undermining U. S. Dollar
LONDON OP) — The two-week-
Id international money crisis un-
ermining the strength of the
U.S. dollar appeared Thursday to
be headed for a climax, perhaps
by the weekend.
The value of the American cur-
■eney was particularly threatened
n West Germany by money deal-
rs seeking to buy marks in an-
icipation the German currency
irill be revalued, despite Bonn’s
•esolve not to do so.
The dollar-dumping in West
lermany and other money mar-
ttts reflected a widespread judg-
nent that the dollar’s official
The National Science Founda-
on has approved second-year

tones in development.
The latest grant brings total
imding to $328,700. NSF expects
continue support for three
taiore years, bringing the total
igrant to $890,000.

r of biology, directs the studies.

value is pegged higher than its
real worth, and that sooner or
later the official rate will have
to give.
Washington wants the readjust
ment to come by revaluation of
foreign currencies, particularly
the West German mark and the
Japanese yen. But neither the
Japanese nor the Germans, so far,
have been willing to undercut
their export chances.
If their currencies were re
valued as the United States
wants, imports such as Volks-
wagens and transistor radios
would be more expensive in U.S.

is co-investigator. The two scien
tists have worked as a team since
1966 studying insect hormones.
Their work is known interna
tionally, including credit for the
isolation, elaboration and chemical
synthesis of the juvenile hormone,
one of the two hormones in insects
which regulate developmental
processes.
Those findings have served as
a basis for industrial development
of hormonal methods of insect
control.
stores. And conversely, U.S. ex
ports would be cheaper in Ger
many and Japan, giving U.S.
traders an edge.
Reports from dealers in Am
sterdam and Zurich said Middle
East government banks joined the
dollar-selling wave Thursday, put
ting more pressure on the U.S.
currency. According to these ac
counts the Middle East banks,
which receive heavy dollar pay
ments for oil, were cashing in
these holdings for West German
marks.
Earlier in the week, the bulk
of the dollar sales were said to
be from funds deposited in Eu
rope.
Partly as a result of the new
influx from the Middle East, West
Germany’s state bank was forced
to take in an unprecedented $1.7
billion Thursday, the biggest one-
day amount of support buying in
the current crisis.
The Germans, under interna
tional agreements, are pledged to
step in and buy dollars to keep
the U.S. currency from falling
below the permitted floor rate of
3.1500 marks. But despite the
massive support operation, the
dollar closed in Frankfurt at
3.1495 marks, fractionally below
the floor.
This was because the state
bank, as it usually does, left the
market an hour before close. It
is virtually certain to step in
again when the market reopens
Friday. Otherwise the dollar
would be in effect devalued and
the international exchange rates
worked out in Washington in the
Smithsonian agreement of De
cember 1971 could be wrecked.
The agreement sealed an 8.57 per
cent dollar devaluation decided
because of earlier pressure on the
U.S. currency.
Governors of state banks from
leading West European nations
were due to meet in Basel, Switz
erland, over the weekend to dis
cuss the current crisis. The guide
lines of any attempt to resolve
the crisis could emerge from that
meeting.
Chancellor Willy Brandt’s gov
ernment has repeatedly pledged
it will not revalue or let the mark
float up. It has promised to con
tinue support buying as long as
necessary to maintain the ex
change rate.
But speculators are still betting
that the Germans will have to
give in to combat inflationary
pressure and let the mark move

working as expected, but a need
for more ventilation during cer
tain peak periods of activity was
discovered as a result of the
follow-up study.
“The original problem was
caused by heavy traffic flow
through the covered inspection
station,” Dr. Hughes said. “We
found a ventilation system that
took care of most of the exhaust
fumes that were making inspec
tion personnel ill, but there is still
a problem when traffic is heavy
and wind is at low velocity.”
Before the ventilation systems
were installed, carbon monoxide
was found to be over 99 parts
per million under the facility’s
roof. By comparison, bad days in
Chicago found 56 ppm in the air,
and Los Angeles had 46 ppm.
Measurements taken during the
recent follow-up showed a reduc
tion in carbon monoxide to 20-40
ppm at the inspection station.
Dr. Hughes said check-point
personnel were pleased with the
results of the initial ventilation
installation, and Jim Blackstone,
regional General Services Admin
istration official from Fort
Worth, said GSA was moving as
quickly as possible to install the
additional suggested ventilation
systems.
The Laredo station is the larg
est border-crossing point between
the United States and Mexico, and
its low-lying position prevents
natural wind ventilation from oc
curring.
up, even if that means export
losses for Germany.
The continuing flood of dollar
sales in Europe, meanwhile, re
mains a test of nerves between
speculators betting on realigned
exchange rates and governments
fighting to maintain the current
ones.
Japan, like Germany, has a rel
atively strong currency and has
been forced all week to provide
heavy support buying to main
tain the dollar’s yen exchange
rate. Like the Germans, the Jap
anese want to avoid a revaluation
that would hurt their exports.
Japan bought an estimated $105
million Thursday.
Dealers in Europe have tended
to blame the crisis on the newly
announced deficit of $8.5 billion
in the U.S. 1972 balance of pay
ments.
