ITEM: Millard Lampell, who got an award for scriptwriting, stated: "I think everybody ought to know that I was blacklisted for ten years." Response was positive, applause lasted over ten seconds. Let Personnel search files, find the blacklist I compiled in 1955, hire any three writers on it, then instruct Public Relations to leak story to the newspapers, playing up liberalizing of network, integrity...
Actually, the Administration's blacklist is based more on principle than on strategic considerations. Of 119 free-flag ships that called at North Vietnamese ports in 1965 (v. 401 in 1964), only 44 did so after the President's July decision to build up U.S. military aid to Saigon. The U.S. faces a difficult problem in cutting the flow further, since this nation is not formally at war with North Viet Nam and must rely on persuasion rather than force to stop the trade. But the expressions of disapproval-and the high cost of insurance-have had some...
...Israel, the 20 nations of the Arab world since 1951 have imposed an economic boycott not only on Israeli goods but on all those who deal with or help Israel economically. Through a central boycott office in Damascus and 18 regional offices throughout the Arab world, the Arabs have blacklisted more than 600 firms, including 167 U.S. companies (among them Revlon, General Tire and Bulova Watch). Last week the Arabs added to their blacklist a new and prestigious member: the Chase Manhattan Bank, the world's second largest bank, whose 102 offices overseas make it an important presence...

Hilton hotels and Trans World Airlines go on operating in Egypt-even though both also operate in Israel-because President Nasser is aware that they bring in tourist dollars. Blacklisted firms are tolerated by some Arab states if their products are badly needed. Though both have been on the blacklist for some time, Continental Motors still ships parts to Jordan, and Fairbanks, Morse goes right on selling water pumps to Arab nations...
...said Marshal Taurino Rezende, chairman of the revolutionary government's Central Investigating Committee. Brazilians could put it another way: compared with corruption, practically everything in Brazil has been insignificant. When the new government of President Humberto Castello Branco had completed its housecleaning with a tenth and final political "blacklist" of prominent Brazilians accused of Communism or corruption prior to the overthrow of President Joāo ("Jango") Goulart, corruption indeed seemed to have first rank...
