VOL. 94 NO. 124 THE EVENING REVIEW Complete News Coverage of East Liverpool, Wellsville, Midland, Chester, Newell and the Tri-State Area HOME EDITION PHONE 385-4545EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, MONDAY, MARCH 19,1973 40 PAGES 5 SECTIONS 10c 60c Weekly by Floating U. S. Dollar Rises On Foreign Markets By The Associated Press The floating American dollar rose strongly at the openjng of foreign exchanges around the world after a two-week shutdown, and the Bank of Japan sold an estimated $50 million to keep the rate from rising too fast.

But by noon in Europe, the value of the U.S. money was edging down in brisk but nervous trading. Big money operators appeared holding off while they watched for indications whether the international decisions in Paris day had ended the two-month monetary crisis. U.S. Treasury Secretary George P.

Shultz, conferred for an hour with British Prime Minister Edward Heath in London. Shultz reportedly pressed for quick moves to reform the international trading system to give American exporters better competitive access to world markets. Shultz also met with Chancellor of the Exchequer Anthony Barber. Tokyo dealers reported an acute shortage of dollars in the Japanese capital after the two- week shutdown of exchanges. The Tokyo market was the first to reopen because of the time differential.

The central intervention was designed to keep the rate close to the level between Feb. 14, when the yen was floated, and March 2, when the exchanges closed. In London, the pound declined sharply at the opening to $2.45 but by noon it had climbed back by a full cent, almost reaching closing rate in bank-to-bank trading of $2.4610. In the key Frankfurt market, the dollar opened at 2.8350 marks, 21.5 pfennigs above close. But by noon the dollar had edged back to .82 marks.

The dollar was also up sharply in Zurich at the opening, being quoted at 3.2650 Swiss Francs, more than three cen- timmes over rate. But by noon, the rate had dropped to 3.24 francs. The closing rate in Tokyo was 264.90 yen, down from 266.50 on March 1 but up from 260.50. The price of gold, which soared to a record $95 an ounce at the peak of the money crisis, was $81 in Zurich and London, -drops of $1.50 and $1.75 from the price Friday. Finance ministers of the major non-Communist trading nations agreed in Paris on Friday that all major currencies would float freely in relltion to the dollar according to supply and demand forces in the market place.

The move, putting an end to the 29-year-old Breton Woods system of fixed parities, means no state bank is committed any longer to support the dollar at a fixed value. For an indefinite period, will speculate against and not against state banks, as one American informant put it. The old system of fixed exchange rates for the major currencies was established by the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. It was abandoned after massive speculation poured $3V2 billion onto European exchanges on March 1, forcing their closure. Since then, the dollar has been floating in private bank- to-bank transactions while cials of the major trading nations met in a series of conferences to work out a new monetary system.

They ratified a Dlan on Friday in Paris calling for joint float of the stronger Common Market currencies against the dollar along with a 3 per cent upward revaluation of the West German mark. The European governments agreed that their central banks would buy dollars only when the U.S. currency fell to a point that threatened to make theor own exports noncompetitive. Storm Hits Peaches Spring To Arrive Rail Wreck Probe Opens It JL In Proper With Spring due to arrive Tuesday at 1:13 p.m. the weather appears ready to act accordingly after the blustery weekend.

The high will range from the upper 30s to 40s Wednesday and the upper 40s and 50s Friday. The peach crop apparently was hard hit by the weekend cold, one area orchard man with some 400 acres in Columbiana County and neighboring Pennsylvania bulldozing his output and writing it off as a total loss.

The fate of the apple crop remains up in the air, with the next several weeks supplying the answer in most cases. OHIO Agriculture Department Director Gene R. Abercrombie said at Columbis he feels that the peach crop has been damaged. He said damage to apples will depend on whether the crop is of the early or late variety. Dan Tucker, agriculture statistician with the Ohio Crop Reporting Service of the U.S.* Agricultural Department, said the amount of damage depends on the stage of development.

Peaches, apples and grapes are top revenue-earning fruits, according to Tucker. Nurserymen and others the thousands who so carefully put out flowers at home are apprehensive over the situation. As one observer put it, danger is obvious to everybody. Fruit growers hold their breath until well past the middle of May, when the danger of frost is past.

Penn Central Railroad officials and agents of the Ohio Public Utilities Commission today continued investigation of the wreck in which five cars of -the Amtrak train left the rails near the James St.

crossing about 3:08 a.m. yesterday. Four of the cars overturned on their sides after ripping some half mile of track and causing severe damage to the south side of the Adamson Manufacturing Co. Dead is George Wintoniak, 53, of Haverford, a Penn Central engineer who was traveling as a passenger. Dr.

William A. Kolizsi, Columbiana County Coroner, said he died of a head injury. Officials said Wintoniak was asleep in an upper berth of one of the sleeper cars and was hurled to the floor. Rail crews, city firemen, police and volunteers rushed through the sub-freezing temperatures and blowing snow to get the injured from the overturned cars and to a makeshift emergency treatment center at the City Hall. Some 167 passengers were on the train.

The uninjured passengers were fed at the City Hall by the auxiliary, and taken on to their destination by other trains or by buses. After emergency treatment, the injured were taken to Salem Community Hospital East. Penn Central officials said that an earlier accident involving a freight train may have led to the derailment, according to PUCO Chairman Henry W. Eckhart. Eckhart said Penn Central officials told him that the freight train had separated in the vicinity of the derailment about two hours earlier.

He said the front cars of the train made an emergency stop and that the rear cars collided with them causing a in the tracks. The engineer of the Amtrak train saw the kink when his train came along and attempted to stop. The last five cars of his train jumped the track when he stopped. Eckhart said a full investigation of both incidents will be undertaken by his office. After the derailment, the first eight cars of the Amtrak train went on to Chicago with all the passengers who wanted to continue the trip.

The train first stopped to pick up 17 passengers who had been treated at the hospital. The train was en route to Chicago from New York.
