CENTRAL FIFTH AVENUE FORD CITY Phone 762-3171 Offers Hedge Fluctuations was signed and tile purchase price was paid he lost 10 per cent on Ihe deal.

In that lime, the French franc was devalued about 10 per cent. Payment was made in the cheaper franc. Even though tlus man knew tliere was a good chance of a franc devaluation, he had been urnible to protect himself thi'ough a currency hedge as big corporations do by taking a short commitment with banks in foreign exchange. Banks won't fool around with small amounts. They trade ov deal in foreign exchanges only on a large scale and then only with recognized traders.

Traders Can Hedge From now on, though, small traders can hedge such transactions as the Parisian apartment house. On April 23 the world's first official market for currency contract futures--the International Commercial Exchange (ICE)--opened in New York City. ICE President Murray H. Borowitz says this currency futures market will trad3 in six foreign currencies future delivery--the i i pound sterling, the Swiss franc, Ihe French franc, the Deutsche mark, the Italian lira and the Japanese yen. Other currencies probably will be added, he said.

An affiliate of the New York Produce Exchange, the currency exchange will operate very much like the exchanges now dealing in commodity futures such a corn and wheat, copper and zinc. Buyers will be.able to contract for future delivery or sale, at a fixed price, of a certain amount of the foreign currency. They can hedge against devaluation or revaluation by buying or selling currency contracts. Way To Protect In the case of the parisian apartment, all this man would have had to do to protect his sales price would have been to call his regular broker or a member firm of the ICE and sell the equivalent amount of future contracts in French francs. He would then be in a net-hedged position.

Money lost in devalued funds obtained from the apartment deal would be recovered by his future contracts. BorowJtz, who sees a potential trillion dollar market in such a currency exchange, told of another man who had the opposite problem. He borrowed 3 million D-marks (about to swing a deal in the United States. Hih big worry was that the D-mark would be revalued. If that happened, he'd lose a lot of money by having to pay back with more expensive D-marks.

The currency a would give him a chance to hedge adv for thurs april 23 MOUTH TRAP A hackamore is a tj-pe of rawhide bridle.

for Any Proposed French Law Hits Demonstrators By RAY F. HERNDON PARIS (UPI)-Faced with a problem similar to the ono confronted by proponents of law and order in the United Slates, the French government thinks it has found a way to cut down on campus and street violence. In essence, the French government wants to make all of me demonstrators and- then- leaders pay for the injuries or damages that result from disorderly demonstrations, even if some of them did not join in the violence. Despite the opposition of Socialist and Communist deputies hi the National Assembly, government sponsored "anti-breakers" bill has passed the lower house by a majority of 368 to votes. It will become the law of the land in less than six months, unless the largely powerless French Senate.

unexpectedly forces modification of the bill. Reveals New Bill The new draft law was inspired by France's "law and order" Premier Jacques Chanan-Delmas, who revealed the new bill in a tough speech in which he said "the breakers must be the payers." From the day the draft law was presented until it was voted upon in the National Assembly, it was the object of more public controversy than any piece of legislation since the constitutional amendments which were submitted to a nationwide vote last year, and which resulted in the fall of former President Charles de Gaulle from power. In a rowdy, night-long session of the National Assembly, critics of the bill said that under the terms of the draft law, union leaders could be arrested or jailed for disorders that occurred during demonstrations by their union members. The new legislation was as warmly welcomed by French police, as it was heatedly denounced by leftwing parliamentarians. Police Are Powerless Under current law, the police are largely powerless to deal with unruly student demonstrators, especially when the students barricade themselves inside university buildings.

If the new bill.becomes law, any student who voluntarily remains at the scene will be responsible for damage that his fellow students inflict on government property, and any claim that he was forcibly detained would almost certainly require him to testify against his colleagues. Precautions Wasted LONG BEACH, Calif. (UPI) --Authorities sealed off a two- block area and closed all businesses when a pint of liquid found in a young woman's refrigerator was believed to be pure nitroglycerine strong enough to blow up four city blocks. Miss Jackie Semay, 22, said a friend gave her the substance when she had to drive home alone late at night and told her if anyone bothered her, to throw it at them. Chemists analyzed the substance Wednesday.

It was glue. LIGHT WEIGHT A carat, as a unit of weight, if by internalioal agreement one fifth of a gram. According to the French premier, the new "anti-breakers" bill will not be a danger as long as a democratic government remains in power, and if a totalitarian group iike the Communists took over, no democratic rights would be safe.
