The eight-point accord brings a measure of unanimity to the 10, who often have differed sharply on monetary policy. It also brings them closer to the United States on at least one major point: The American view mat nations running surpluses on their balance of payments, as well as those running deficits, should recognize an obligation to make adjustments for the common good of all. LONDON The financial leaders of the six and four future members of the European Common Market met Monday and agreed on eight basic objectives for the reform of the world's monetary system. Though the agreement is only a beginning of what is expected to be a long and difficult effort to evolve a less trouble-prone system of international economic relationships, it was hailed as "a major step forward" by Anthony Barber, British chan 'I 4 1 1 (Junliicr's Clad you ashed lhall Or all the fi ms Ava Gardner has made, which docs she consider be her best?

The service, Sunday, was held on a ship near California's. Paradise Cove. They said they would have their honeymoon at sea. The 10 nations agreed that any new monetary system should meet these requirements: The parities among currencies should be fixed at recognized levels but those parities should be easily adjustable from time to time as required by economic conditions; All currencies should be freely convertible into other currencies; There should be effective international regulation of the supply of liquidity (money) in the world; Necessary adjustments in their balance of payments should be freely made by participating countries; Means should be found to reduce the destabilizing effects of short-term capital flows, such as the flight from sterling that led Britain to float tiie pound on June 23: The principle that both surplus and deficit countries Teamsters one Nixon RANCIIO LA COSTA.

Calif. (AP) Leaders of tiie 2.2-million-member Teamsters Union endorsed President Nixon for re-election Monday. It was only the second time since the Depression that the union had tailed to endorse the Democratic candidate for president. In 1960. the Teamsters supported Nixon in his unsuccessful campaign against late President John F.

Kennedy. The endorsement was voted by the union's 17-member executive committee a a meet'ng at Rar.cho La Costa Couniry Club, 25 miles south of the Western White House, where Nixon has been for the last two weeks. "The board felt that the backing of Mr. Nixon was in the bes: interest cf labor and the said Frank Fitzsimmons Teamsters president. Concerning Senator George forced some out: lawyer He said his foreman told him Oct.

22 that the best thing to do would be to resign so that he would loceive his severance pay and that if he did so, he would be given an application form for employment with the Toronto Star. Mr. Essig said he signed a typed resignation form given to him by the foreman, who then provided him with an application form for employment with The Star. He further testified that he was not hired by Tiie Star and worked at three temporary jobs until he finally ob-t a i permanent employment May 30, 1972. Mr.

Essig's claim is one of two test cases being tried before the inquiry to simplify proceedings since more than 500 claims totalling close to $1 million have been filed with the ministry of labor by former employees of the newspaper.

Dalev savs hell back McGovern CHICAGO (AP) Although spurned as a delegate to his party's national convention, Mayor Richard J. Daley extended his support Monday to all Democratic candidates in the November elections. The mayor's endorsement covered candidates for the lowest office to a George S. McGovern, nominated last week to seek the presidency.

"I am a Daley said Monday at a news conference. "I will support every candidate on the Democratic ticket, federal, state and local." But his formal statement did not mention McGovern by name. In the past, for the Democrats to carry Illinois it has been necessary to overcome a heavy downstate Republican vote with an overwhelming Democratic triumph in Chicago. Laird doubts PoW pledge New York Times Service WASHINGTON Secretary of Defence Mclvin R. Laird Monday questioned the credibility of Sen.

George S. McGovern's pledge to secure the quick release of American war prisoners from North Vietnam if he is elected president. Laird challenged McGovern's statements that the unconditional withdrawal of American forces from the war zone within 90 days of his taking office would result in freedom for the prisoners of war.

"How do you repair the damage that was printed in the newspapers?" Committee counsel Joseph Phillips said Barboza unexpectedly made the charge about fronting for the underworld in the two hotels when he was asked about a completely unrelated matter at the May 24 hearing. Phillips said the answer could not have been anticipated or cut off and noted that the Fontainebleau had filed an affidavit with the committee denying the story. "And at that point someone, presumably the counsel, should have done something to refute that story," Sinatra said. He suggested the committee should have called the news media In and announced the hotel's statement. "I don't have to refute it because there isn't any truth to it," Sinatra said of the Fontainebleau story at another point.

As for his purchase of stock in the Sands hotel in 1963, he said "that was bought with my own Telegram employees TORONTO (CP) A lawyer said Monday the former Telegram Publishing Co. Ltd. forced some of its employees to resign last October to deprive them of termination pay. Martin Levinson made the charge as legal counsel for Gottlob Essig, a former machinist with the newspaper, who has filed a claim against The Telegram for $4,517. Mr.

Levinson told a provincial inquiry into the closing of the newspaper that a series of bulletins issued by the company shortly before it ceased operations Oct. 30, 1971, were designed to confuse employees and to force them to resign. He said the aim was to defeat the Ontario Employment Standards Act. Tht act states that 16 weeks pay must be given where a company terminates the employment of more than 500 persons. Some 1.200 emp'oy-ees were affected by the closing of The Telegram.

Mr. Essig testified he was confused by a series of company bulletins, the first of which seemed to indicate he would be paid the 16 weeks termination pay but not severance pay as stipulated in his working agreement. The second gave him the impression he would receive both and the third that he would receive severance pay minus termination pay unless he WASHINGTON (A P) Frank Sinatra marched grimly into a House of Representatives select crime committee room today and accused the committee of indecently and irresponsibly letting a convicted felon "bandy mv name about." "It was character assassination, let's face it," the retired crooner told a jammed hearing room. Sinatra said the committee should have immediately refuted the testimony of Joseph (The Baron) Barboza on May 24 that the singer had been a front man for underworld money in the Fonatinbleau and Sands Hotels in Miami Beach and Las Vegas. Fischer relieves tension New York Times Service MOSCOW "When is Bobby Fischer going to stop thus nonsense and get down to playing chess?" a Russian fan asked the other day in the midst of the United States challenger's difficulties with the television cameras.

When it was pointed out Monday night after Fischer's victory in the third game that he had apparently started to play chess, the Soviet fan did not seem disturbed. "The game is what counts." he said. "There will be losses and wins in these 24 games, and the strongest will win. Anyway, you know that many of us here consider Fischer the favorite." The apparent relief displayed by the Russian, now that the championship match in Reykjavik, Iceland, seemed to be under way again, reflected the general temper of the Soviet press. Newspapers have published brief factual reports within the past week as Fischer forfeited the second game because of his absence and then protested the decision without success.

Most of the space has been given to listings of moves and analysis of the games. Evidently pleased at not being involved in the dispute over the placing of the television cameras in the Reykjavik Exhibition Hall, the Soviet press commentators have been pointing out with self-satisfaction that the dispute involved Fischer and his "compatriot," Chester Fox, a businessman who has the exclusive television film rights for the chess match. There has been no indication here, either in the official press or in comments by fans that the Russians are intent on trying to get Fischer eliminated on procedural grounds to protect Boris Spassky, the defending champion. Two wemen, one a former P.oman Catholic nun, took their oaths of office in Washington, Monday to become the FBI's first female agents. They are Susan Lynn Holey, 23, of Long Beach, a former U.S.

Marine Corps, officer, and Joanne E. Pierce, 31, of Niagara Falls, N.Y., a member of the Sisters of Mercy from 1939 to 1970.

Francisco Franco, 79, took another step towards orderly succession today by decreeing in Madrid that Spain's vice-president will run the country temporarily if the chief of state dies.

The vice-president is Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco, G9, a conservative who has served with Franco since the generalissimo launched his uprising against Spain's republican government 36 years ago. Today is the anniversary of that revolt. Franco named Juan Carlos three years ago to become king and succeed him as chief of state. American actress Jane Fonda said Monday that United States planes intentionally bombed a hospital in the North Vietnamese capital, a Hanoi broadcast reported. The official Vietnam news agency, in a broadcast monitored in Tokyo, quoted Miss Fonda as saying in Hanoi: "I visited the Bach Mai Hospital on Monday.

I saw a huge bornb crater in the centre of the hospital. It was obviously dropped there on purpose."

The U.S. wheat surplus on July 1 this year was about 900 million bushels, the most since 1903-64. Part of the reason for the receet buildup was a record crop in 1971 coupled with a slowdown in exports. by multiple sclerosis, a campaign for getting made in Manitoba's Elections to allow persons confined homes, hospitals and private a vote in elections.

But they also will be asked to set aside an additional 10 million acres from wheat under an optional plan next year, double the opiional participation this year.

That would mean a total of about 25 million acres made idle under the 1973 wheat program, compared with about 20 million this year, including five million under the optional plan. WASHINGTON (AP) The Nixon administration, faced with a big U.S. wlicat surplus, announced Monday a billion-dollar program aimed at trimming production next year. Spokesmen said the 1973 plan was designed to reduce the wheat surplus whether the Soviet Union decides to buy any of the bread grain or not.
