...aerospace components. Signal lost out in a bid for ailing Douglas Aircraft last winter, but the Allentown, Pa., truckmaker was only too glad to get under Signal's rich corporate umbrella.

This means that Europe, and particularly Charles de Gaulle (who blackballed Britain's first application in 1963), must in turn decide whether to expand the Continental economic and trade community to seven members-and possibly to even ten or twelve, since Britain's fellow members in the European Free Trade Association are almost certain to try to follow...
