Britain, Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Portugal, Switzerland
and Austria-plus their new
associate eighth member, Fin
land.
Britain has applied for men,
berShip and, although the ne
gotiationS, to begin in early
October, will be tortuouS, pain
full and maybe prolonged, there
isn't an informed industrialist
or statesman on the Continent
who isn't sure she'll end up a
member of the Common Mar
ket. The other partners of the
Outer Seven are moving to
join, too.
800 Million Buyers
AS time goes on, the So-called
Forgotten Four"-Spain, Ire
land, Iceland and Turkey-will
become strong enough to join
as we'll.
What then will emerge is a
United Europe, covering 10 ma
tions and including 300 million
consumers.
The economic power of this
union of nations will dwarf
that of the Soviet Union with
its 214 million consumers. It
will far outrank us with our
181 million consumers.
Among these European ma
tionS there eventually will be
only a few protective walls.
Goods generally will pass freely
from nation to nation. Among
them there will be accelerated
industrialization, speeded up
trade, healthy competition.
Among them will be a COM
mon currency and common
policies on such vital matters
as social security programs,
unemployment benefits, anti
trust laws, commodity price
supports, the like.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
One Currency For Europe?
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Today, each European coun-
try has its own currencyS each
has its own monetary reserve
more or less to back UP it's
currency, each has it's own
tariff walls to control the in
flow Of competitive goods, etc.
Tomorrow, it's probable that
Europe will have a common
currency backed by a common
monetary reserve, representing
and protecting all the member
nations. While each nation
will continue to have its own
currency, they will trade with
each other in terms of the
common money.
Just as a businessman in
New York uses the same money
as the San Francisco business
man with whom he is making
a deal, so a businessman in
London will use the same
money as the businessman in
West Berlin with whom he is
making a deal, and the COM
mon monetary reserve and
com mon currency will
strengthen all the nations
involved.
Background Outlined
Tomorrow" may take years
to come, but the dawn of to-
morrow already may be seen.
The original six nations
which created the prosperous
European Common M ark e t
four years ago are considering
a plan for a common monetary
reserve and a common cur
rency. This is now the dream
of Jean Monnet, of France,
who was the architect of the
Common Market and who
heads a committee "of the
United States of Europe"
A common European cur
rency is considered inevitable.
1t is needed, it makes sense, it
is a logical step.
Europe already has a hard
core of union in the rapidly
developing economic and politi-
cal unity of the six-France,
West Germany, Italy, Belgium,
Luxembourg and The Neither
lands-pluS a new associate
seventh member, Greece. Since
this group banded together in
the Common Market under the
Treaty of Rome March 25,
1857, trade among them has
dwarfed the hopes of the most
optimistic.

Steel Demands
Building Up,
Iron AGE Says

NEW YORK, Aug. % (AP).-
Rising demand for steel may
even produce a short-term
shortage of the basic metal
this fall. the Iron Age said to-
day.
"Pressures for an explosion of
steel market are building up"
said the Woodworking weekly.
Partly, it's because many
large steel users continue to
maintain low inventories and
rely on speedy deliveries. The
magazine said inventories must
be enlarged to sustain even
current manufacturing rates.
Tensions over Berlin and
other international problems
were seen as exerting both real
and psychological pressures,
along with the United States
defense buildup.
The Iron Age also cited:
THE general economy is
rising at a faster rate than we
eXpected"-thus far without
a commensurate setup in steel
ordering.
Some instances of price
hedging against a possible in
crease in steel prices after
October l."
Cautiousness in steel-buying
by the big automakers, now
nearing the climatic phase of
negotiations on new labor pacts.
Although the maximum i'm
pact of demand is some way
off, the magazine said, orders
presently are flowing into steel
mills at a rate to support
operations at about 10 per cent
of capacity, a few points above

sculptor 10 Davidson was to
do the bust of scientist AL
bert Einstein, he was deter
mined to capture the real
Einstein - while the latter
was at work. He set up shop
in the scientists study and
told him to busy himself with
his mathematical computa-
tions and to ignore the
sculptor'S presence.
Both men were capable of
intense concentration. Elm
stein took out his pipe, a pad
and pencil and soon was deep
in thought. Davidson took
out his pipe, set up his stand
and in a matter of seconds
was lost in his own artistic
world.
For two hours, there was
utter silence in the room.
Then Einstein looked up. He
watched the sculptor for sew
eral moments and a smile
came into his face.

REPORTER
An Ill Wind Blows

The arithmetic of a hurri-
cane is complex. Some fac
tors are known. Some are
guessed. About six of these
tropical storms are born in
the Caribbean each year. In
the western Pacific. the aver
age is 20. The South Indian
Ocean is visited by Is each
year. The South Atlantic has
never had one.
Almost all hurricanes are
conceived about Is degrees
north or south of the equa-
tor. They are always born
over water and the spot is
close to where the trade
winds of two hemispheres
converge. The time between
infancy and full growth
ranges between two days and
seven. The baby Is seldom
more than 20 miles in dia-
meter. The big hurricane is
sometimes $50 miles across.
NO ONE KNOWS what
spawns a tropical storm, but
they occur at the time of the
doldrums - September in the
Caribbean - when the winds
southeast Of Puerto Rico are
listless and light. They seem
to favor certain atmospheric
conditions far to the north
Canada highs, for example.
The full grown hurricane
looks like an ice cream cone.
1t is five miles tall. topped
by a scoop of cumulonimbus
clouds. The cone is widest at
the top, narrowest at the
bottom. 1t twirls counter
clockwise at speeds from 80
miles per hour to $50.
The bottom, touching the
sea, is often only a few miles
diameter. This is called the
eye. Within it is dead calm.
The highest winds are
around the eye. The weakest
are on the perimeter. The
storm, while whirling, moves
toward the nearest land mass
at Is miles per hour.
Those coming out of the
Caribbean have q broad
choice of landfalls. Some
head for northern Mexico
others. like Carla this year,
move up the Gulf of Mexico
to Texas. Some whip north
westward across the Florida
keys, then double back to hit
Florida from the other side
as Donna did last year.
A few flirt with Bermuda
and, once in awhile, a full
fledged hurricane m owes
north to Hatteras, skirtine
the land mass at the Virgin
ia Capes, and roaring on tc
