Despite his long tenure in the league, his enthusiasm for the game seems not to have diminished. "I love it," he says. "I'm a purist of the game itself."

Economists generally do not expect any real upturn in European business until mid-1976-and they worry that even then the recovery may be so weak that, in the words of OECD Secretary-General Emile van Lennep, "it would not gather momentum and might peter out."

If they are successful, the legislature will then have until May, 1976 to approve the proposal. If the legislature does not approve, the petition's supporters would need to gather an additional 9000 signatures to put the measure on the November ballot...
