Strategically set astride the Rhine-Maas waterway, which leads to the heart of industrial Europe, Rotterdam handles more cargo than Antwerp, Bremen and Hamburg put together-and nearly as much as New York (90.1 million tons v.

Star and starlet were shining up to each other: Maximilian Schell, 32, a highly touted Hamlet in Hamburg, and former Queen Soraya, 31, who adorned his opening night and who reportedly takes tips from Max about her new movie career.

Levy's record in the delicate art of advising has been marked by steady successes. The son of a Hamburg lawyer, he lied Hitler's Germany in 1937 and landed a job on a petroleum publication in London. By feverish effort, he learned the tangled ramifications of world oil, emigrated to the U.S. in 1941. There, his talents won him a presidential citation for work as a wartime Government adviser.
