British dealers effectively revalued the Japanese yen by 10 per cent, quoting the rate of 322 yen for one dollar compared with the official rate in Tokyo of 360.

The dealers emphasized, however, that the rate had little meaning as there were practically no yen available in London. Japanese banks here continued their self-imposed freeze on trading in their own currency. Where the dollar eased in Eu- ropean markets, notably in Zurich, Brussels and in Lon- i don against the British pound, the declines were relatively minor.

Killed was David Routliffe, of 201 Cowley Avenue. The accident occurred as Mr.

Routliffe rounded a turn of a quarter-mile track at the Luskville Dragway, two miles south of during morning time trials for afternoon races.

"He was in the right lane and started to spin out of control," said fellow driver John Gravelle, 23, of 90 Willow Street, Ottawa. Mr.

Gravelle said other racers estimated the speed of Mr. Routliffe's car at more than 125 mph. "He jumped across into the left lane and hit a hay bail or something and the car took off into the air. As the car ex-ploded, Dave came right through the fibreglas roof, andf hit the track. He was stfll strap-" ped to his seat," Mr.

Gravelle said. Mr. Routliffe's dragster was named Dave's Dilemma.
