BRUSSELS ()} - The six Common Market finance ministers
agreed last night to press for devaluation of the dollar and adopted
broad outlines for a reorganization of the ailing World monetary
system.
While the ministers didn't spell out dollar devaluation in their
communique, their intention was clear when they called for a re-
alignment of the major world currencies, "including the dollar."
The ministers also endorsed proposals from the Common Market
Commission to replace the dollar as the basic currency of world

THE U.S. LABOR DEPARTMENT is bringing suit against
the United Mine Workers in hopes of setting aside the 1969
election of UMW President W. A. "Tony" Boyle.
Labor Department lawyers charge that Boyle supporters bought
votes, intimidated dissenters, refused to allow neutral polling place
observers and other violations of the Landrum-Griggin Act.

prisonment ofhpolitical opponents of President Nguyen Van Thieu
as well as the U.S aid program that supports the South Viet-,

force an issue in his campaign.
TUNNELING BANK BURGLARS eluded Scotland yard de-
tectives hot on their trail yesterday and escaped through a chain
of sewers with perhaps as much as 500,000 pounds - about
$1.2 million.
Discovered when a ham radio operator intercepted their short-
wave signals, robbers named Bob and Steve talked of having sand-
wiches and tea ready. Their only problem, they said, was that
smoke kept accumulating in the bank vault as they cut their way in.

export drive
'WASHINGTON (MA---- A presi-
dential commission urged the Nix-
on administration yesterday to
launch a vigorous U.S. export
drive during this decade, w h i1e
pushing to wipe out all w o rl d
trade barriers within 25 years.
The 27-member Commission on
International Trade and Invest-
mentPolicy called fornthernation
to face what it called new realities
of international economic life and,
help restore the United States'
once-premier position in w o r 1 cl
trade.
Some of its recommendations al-
ready have beencadopted by Pre-
sident Nixon, including one to im-
pose a temporary import tax while
the nation's balance-of-payments
deficit persists.
But the presidentially appointed
commission came down hard on
the side of free trade, urging
against widespread restrictions
that could cause even more re-
strictions. It said the m a j o r
world powers should begin now
talks aimed at ending all s u c h
barriers within the next quarter
century.
"The world has changed radi-
cally from the one we knew after
World War II," it said. "We be-
liever it is imperative that t h e
United States, in its own interest,
bring its international trade and
investment policies into line with.
the new realities."
Recognizing the realities means
relaxing national policies that
have held back the volume of
what the United States sells to
other countries, the commission's
three-volume report said.

So far, there has been no ground
