But the agreement threatened to fall apart in recent weeks because the British government cut its pound sterling loose from the agreed-upon exchange rate, floating It against other currencies. The resulting uneasiness overseas put the dollar under new pressure and several governments, mainly West Germany, were forced to buy dollars to protect the value of their own money and support the Smithsonian Agreement.

The United States never has directly intervened in exchange markets. It formerly used its gold stock to settle dollar claims, but President Nixon ended that last Aug. 15. Now, the United States has nothing to convert foreign currencies since the gold window will remain closed until a new monetary system is worked out. The Federal Reserve Board is doing what other countries including Canada have been doing for years to protect their currencies when the money of another country, primarily from speculators, floods in.

The Federal Reserve Bank gave no estimate on how many marks and other currencies it sold in the first day of intervention Wednesday. But foreign exchange traders in the New York market estimated that the equivalent of at least $50 million was involved in Wednesday selling of marks. The sales had the effect of depressing the price of the West German currency and thus increasing the value of the dollar in relation to the mark. fesr tv -if fMf si i J.

SYNOPSIS: Hot humid air continued to engulf the lower lakes this morning.

The separation between light drier air extended through the cottage country to a disturbance in Northwestern Ontario. As this system moves northward towards James Bay the sultry air will be drawn into regions north of the upper lakes. Some showers will occur along this dividing line. By Friday cooler air will establish itself over Northern Ontario but the South will remain in the humid heat. AIR POLLUTION: At 7 a.m.

Canada kept its dollar floating on international exchanges as it had since June 1970. Earlier, Ottawa had consistently opposed the imposition of the special 10 per cent duty on imports from the time Washington announced it in August.

Canada immediately sought an exemption from the surtax. External Affairs Minister Sharp and Mr. Pepin, argued that Canada was not a drain on the U.S. foreign exchange dollar that in fact, Canada paid out more to the U.S. normally than it took in, and that the Canadian dollar had.

already been floating for more than a year. But Secretary Connally was unimpressed. He noted that Canada had, at that time, a big current trade surplus with the U.S., and said there were many special privileges in trade with the U.S. that Canada would have to give up. The big trade surplus has since faded away.

Mr. Connally asked Canada to give up the special safeguards in the 1965 U.S.-Canada auto free-trade pact which guaranteed minimum levels of Canadian production for the North American market. Production always exceeded those levels, but Canada wanted the safeguards continued. The U.S. also sought higher exemptions for Canadians taking goods home from their travels in the U.S., and a review of Canadian duties on cars bought by individuals in the U.S.

Canada said both the present low levels of free-import travel exemptions and duties on autos had to be continued to protect Canadian interests. Mr. Pepin's meeting with Mr. Shultz, former U.S. budget director, will review the position of both sides in the dispute, Mr.

Trudeau said. "This is to be a preliminary meeting, and I have no idea of any further meetings. But if President Nixon and I thought we could fruitfully reopen negotiations, we would not hesitate to send our full teams in." The prime minister also told reporters the government will be making an announcement possibly in a speech by Mr. Pepin about a general industrial policy. But he said this should not be looked on just as a pre-election announcement.

"There will be some announcements in good time," he said. He added that "undoubtedly," if the government felt the Canadian dollar is going to remain too strong for too long a time in international exchange markets, it would take action on capital flowing into the country. But one never can be sure about foreign exchange movements, he said. It was not long ago that the Canadian dollar was weak. The government would try to adopt a middle policy, and "we'll have to try to progress without going back." The government sought voluntary co-operation of the provinces and other big borrowers to borrow less abroad, said the prime minister.

Stevenson, E6882, 426 Logan, Windsor SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese forces battled a North Vietnamese battalion of 200 to 300 troops today that outflanked government forces closing in on Quang Tri City. The fighting was just south of the My Chanh defence line, about 10 miles south of Quang Tri and 20 miles above Hue. The attack threatened Highway One, less than a mile to the west. The South Vietnamese turned their tank guns on the North Vietnamese force, and U.S. Phantoms swooped down with bombs.

The North Vietnamese slammed mortars into the South Vietnamese infantry. Fighting was continuing at mid-day. Col. Le Ba Khien, a South Vietnamese regimental commander, said he believed an entire North Vietnamese regiment numbering up to 1,000 troops had moved south below My Chanh in an attempt to cut the north-south Highway behind the government force at Quang Tri. In Quang Tri, meanwhile, South Vietnamese paratroops advanced to within 50 yards of the Citadel despite a counterattack by North Vietnamese infantry and tanks.

But information said there would be no attempt to storm the walled fortress until more government troops reached forward positions and more North Vietnamese tanks are knocked out. The U.S. command disclosed that an explosion, apparently of a bomb that detonated prematurely in the air, knocked two U.S. A-7 bombers and an F-4 fighter-bomber out of the skies on the northern front Monday. Three of the four flyers were rescued and one is missing, the command said.

The three jets were on a night bombing mission supporting the South Vietnamese offensive, and one of their own Takeover study okay WINNIPEG (CP) The Manitoba legislature approved a government resolution Wednesday instructing the house's standing committee on economic development to look into foreign ownership and its effects on the provincial economy.

HELP BUILD THE CHILDREN'S REHABILITATION CENTRE FOR WINDSOR ESSEX COUNTY BUY YOUR TICKET TODAY! By GORD McNULTY An agreement allowing student militiamen to work at the eastern landfill has been reached between Local 82, Canadian Union of Public Employees, and city manager John Steel.

The agreement may resolve the uncertainty that has surrounded the employment of the students in Windsor since it was announced in April that 47 students were to be hired specifically for community improvement work by the Windsor Militia District this summer. All of the students went to work in Sandwich West Township this week after numerous meetings did not confirm the militia's earlier proposals to employ the federally-paid recruits on the restoration of provincially-owned Peche Island, or at the landfill and in clean-up of school playgrounds and main arteries. In Sandwich West, the students are installing new boards at LaSalle arena, cleaning up Lawrence Brunet Park, and clearing roadside ditches, with the girls working under parks and recreation officials at six different playgrounds. The problems in getting the program off the ground in Windsor apparently began when Local 82 was not informed of the project until July 10, the day it was to start. "At first we were against it.

We wanted to know if they would be receiving regular wages at union rates, and whether there would be any lay-offs," said Harry Dowhan, Local 82 recording secretary. The union also wanted assurance that no city-owned equipment, tools or other assistance would be given to the militiamen. Unlike the situation in Windsor, Local 701 of CUPE in Sandwich West had no objection to the project when informed by township clerk Ray Dalgleish, who assured them that the militiamen would not be using any township equipment. Mr. Dalgleish views the benefits of the program as "something for nothing" and is happy about the results so far.

City manager Steel said he assured Local 82 that the program is purely a military one. He noted it is financed entirely by a federal grant of $26,000, and the students will receive only militia pay of $8.80 a day. Mr. Steel emphasized the project would not affect the city work force in any way. The eastern landfill, north of Tecumseh Road at the easterly city limits, was permanently closed June 17.

Mr. Steel said the militiamen would be employed in landscaping the site as part of a plan to turn it into a recreation area. Local militia officers said they would like to put the students to work at the landfill when they become available. Further talks might be required on the question of the city providing the militiamen with shovels in moving earth and spreading some new cover fill at the site. The 47 students, who are not in uniform, represent a new phase of militia student summer employment program.

Another 102 students have been hired for the military phase of the project, which runs for six weeks, at a cost of around $55,000. Federal departments organizing the scheme, which provides first aid and safety training as well as some sports, are Manpower and Immigration, Secretary of State, Treasury Board and Public Service Commission. tawa local.

Six deportees back in Britain LONDON (AP) Six East African Asians deported by Britain to India arrived back in London Wednesday after immigration officials at New Delhi airport put them aboard the first available London-bound airliner. The six-five men and a womanwere taken to London airport detention centre while officials decided whether they would be admitted to Britain. The Asians are from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and have British passports. Their shuttlecock trip began after they left Britain, where all had been residents, to visit India. On their return, British officials refused to admit them and said they were unauthorized immigrants.

Dr. Arnold Benson said Wednesday that he was closing the Acupuncture Centre of New York but planned to fight the ruling by the state department of education, which regulates the practice of medicine. "What they're saying is that someone with 20 or 20 years of experience in acupuncture can't administer the treatment, but a licenced doctor who doesn't know a thing about it can," he said. The clinic employed four Chinese-trained therapists working under the supervision of Benson, a licenced physician. In the few days it was open, some 300 persons were treated for a variety of ailments.

Benson claimed that another 3,000 persons were on waiting lists and predicted that the four therapists would not go "underground" to resume the practice of acupuncture, as he said they had for years.

a Newfoundland refinery says pollution controls planned Christian MDs open international meeting TORONTO (CP) About 850 doctors, dentists and their spouses were present at the opening of the fourth International Congress of Christian Physicians at York University Wednesday night. ST. JOHN'S, Nfld.

mssm iirsTKcss amm lD ubXr (to 3SSEQKffe 'J Federal Environment Minister Jack Davis warned last month that unless the company changed its plans for anti-pollution equipment by Wednesday, he would stop construction at the plant July 26. Mr. Davis said in the Commons that in 18 months of talks with company representatives "we have yet to receive the proof we need" that proper anti-pollution safeguards would be put in the plant. The minister's warning drew criticism from Newfoundland MPs and provincial Finance Minister John Cros-bie. They accused the federal minister of making "cheap political statements." Mr.

Crosbie assured the minister in a telegram several weeks ago that the pollution standards would be met by the company. 4 Bobby's beefs ignored (See also Page 21) REYKJAVIK (CP) The Icelandic Chess Federation rejected a list of 13 demands from Bobby Fischer today, raising the possibility of a new hitch in the world chess championship match.
