North Vietnam announced Wednesday 20 more prisoners
would be released within the next few days, ahead of the
two-week intervals scheduled for their release. The

15 days. A total of 407 Americans remain to be released

Cuba and the United States apparently have reached an
agreement providing for stiff punishment of hijackers by
Cuban authorities in lieu of extradition. State Department
officials refused to discuss the exact content of the
agreement since details remain to be resolved. President
Nixon announced a 10 per cent devaluation of the dollar
late Monday evening in a move designed to help balance
the United State's trade deficit.
Tourists traveling overseas will find the dollar will buy
less foreign goods than it did prior to devaluation and will
be exchanged for less foreign money than before.
Essentially the devaluation will result in foreign goods
being more expensive and exported American goods being
less expensive. By opening up foreign markets in this way
it is hoped more jobs will be created at home.
The administration is hoping the deficit will improve this
time instead of becoming worse as it did after an eight per
cent devaluation of the dollar December, 1971.
Ford Motor Co. was fined $7 million Tuesday by the

ment spokesmen, this was the largest settlement amount
ever obtained in a case of this type.
