American officials see this as the main reason why foreign governments keep on buying dollars at the agreed figure: exporters dont like the prospect of losing business in America especially jut now when Americans look like they have more money to spend Another reason for keeping the Smithsonian agreement is STentS Lnt the ProsPect of marking prospect of marking down the value of all the billions of dollars they own They had to do that last year when the new rates knocked more than eight cents off the valuerof every dollar More important whenever a non-American government buys a dollar it has to pay with its own currency So another 315 marks or 30110 yen go into the national supply of money That makes for more money chasing the same quantity of goods the classic recipe for inflation Most

CERTIFICATES UOn MtM Cl 0 anKMOMMI A MUM irMn 5V4 tw purnuNi itys tm nwt By NAN ROBERTSON (Times News Service) MIAMI BEACH Martha Clampitt McKay of North Carolina had a drink with a national polling expert Tuesday afternoon to find out how the country felt about abortion Louis Harris told her that the majority of the voters in the South and Midwest were against it Twelve hours later after intensive proselytizing by Mrs McKay and others 48 members of the North Carolina delegation to the Democratic National Convention voted for an abortion plank in the party platform and only nine voted no It lost by 472 votes out of a total of 2673 but the wonder was that the vote was so close and that the plank got to the convention floor in the first place The fact that this explosive emotional issue got there and that its supporters were willing to fighfTor it across candidate lines and against the advice of political pros is one illustration of the impact women have had upon this convention Time and again the 1000 women delegates showed their clout even though 88 per cent of them had never been to a national political convention before They did it simply by being here in force with 38 per cent of the troops as against 13 per cent in 1968 by pushing through for the first time a sweeping plank on womens rights in the persons of Patricia Harris a black woman who managed the thorny credentials challenges from the podium Monday night with toughness and skill and Yvonne Briathwaite another black women who stood on the same spot Tuesday night to preside over the platform debates that did not end until sunrise For the first time women were floor managers for a presidential candidate and Anne Wexler and Jean Westwood helped to seize the prize for George McGovern Friday the Democratic National Committee with 303 members unanimously voted to make Mrs Westwood' its chairman It was the first time in the history of either the Democratic or Republican Party that a woman had been given this job Presidential candidates made a point of appearing before women delegates meetings to discuss the issues That's a revolution right there said Gloria Steinhem But it was not the celebrated ForfeitHolds Chess Match LeitUoubtiul REYKJAVIK Iceland AP)-Bobby Fischer charged Friday that tournament organizers seemed to "upset and provoke me deliberately but an appeals committee rejected his request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassky The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear staying in his hotel suite beause he objected to three moving picture cameras in the hall Thus Spassky who won the first game was 2-0 In the 24-game series He needs 10 more points to retain the title A victory counts one point and a draw half a point Fischer said that if the forfeit ruling were reversed and all cameras were removed he would go ahead with the match This demand came despite the fact the movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125000 purse for both players Gumundur Tborarlnsson president of the Icelandic federation said the cameras would be removed but that Spassky's game point would Slay personalities such as Miss Steinhem (who was not a delegate) and Rep Bella Abzug (who jvas) that made the difference It was the women who mainly had not been visible before both the seasoned campaigners and the novices' They won some and they lost some but all of them said we learned a lot in July 1972 And they planned to apply those lessons in the four years that lie between this Democratic convention and the next The initial test came quickly at the very beginning of this convention last Monday night As with the abortion plank delegates were voting on a new subject A man who has attendeed many conventions commented: Only four years ago it would have been inconceivable that the first substantive issue to come up in a national political convention would be whether to seaU more women on a delegation The National Womens Political Caucus had fought for a minority report that would have added nine women to the South Carolina delegates for a total of 16 and shaved the number of male delegates from 25 to 16 thus giving the women a voice-proportional to their numbers in that state It lost by 1555 votes to 1429 But the outcome would have been even closer if McGovern backers had not changed their votes late in the tally for strategic parliamentary reasons The second test for the womens political caucus came on Monday night The convention upheld a Credentials Committee decision that dumped Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago one of the last of the big city bosses and 58 others and seated a delegation with more women and more blacks The women's caucus believes its fervent lobbying helped contribute to the vote The third test producing tears shouting fist-shaking and husband-wife splits on the floor in the middle of the night on Tuesday Was the minority abortion proposal The word abortion did not appear anywhere in the proposed amendment to the 15-point rights of women plank adopted by the convention
