Ten

Men Named As Spearhead Of Dollar Drive

London, June 13.-Ten men who will spearhead the big new British dollar-carning drive were named today. Forming the Dollar Export Board, they include industrialists, financiers and trade union leaders.

The new organisation arises from a meeting in April between the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford Cripps, the Presi dent of the Board of Trade, Mr Harold Wil- son, and industrialists, bankers and trade unionists.

It was then announced that the industrialist, Sir Graham Cunningham, had been appointed to lead a team to boost United Kingdom exports to the United States and Canada,
