Bonn Seen as Site for New European Central Bank: Bonn, the former West German capital, is expected to be named the headquarters for the European Community’s future central bank this week at an EC summit in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Times of London said. Quoting French and German sources, the newspaper said the bank will go to Bonn as British Prime Minister John Major pursues an operational unit--perhaps dealing with foreign exchange--for London. But it added that the sources doubt that he will draw any central bank operations to London. A spokeswoman for Major said she had no knowledge of any plan to name Bonn the headquarters for the bank.
