Achtung! By week's end the only clear fact was that the main role in the farce was played by the West German wire service, Deutsche Presse-Agentur.

Besides its three main U.S. plants it has built twelve overseas, has also engineered 400 enameling factories for customers to whom it then sells raw frit. Last week President Harry T. Marks was in India negotiating to build a Ferro-owned frit plant in Calcutta...
