Prestige Needed. Until King moved in, the French and British members of the Rothschild banking family were interested in forming a team to take control. But the Rothschilds made it clear that they had no desire to get into an I.O.S. dominated by King. To restore European investor confidence in I.O.S., the company urgently needs to get some old-line European bankers into the rescue operation-and Cornfeld knows it. At first, he and his top associates agreed to place their 37% stock interest in I.O.S. into a King-controlled voting trust for three years. But last week, in order...

The total impact is slight because the list offers little new opportunity in such key sectors as auto manufacturing and electronic computers until the final stage of liberalization in 1971. Even then, the Japanese promise only up to 50% participation in the most important area-automaking. Detroit's manufacturers...
