Direct U.S. private investments in Latin America-the dollars that build factories, dig mines, plant crops or drill for petroleum-rose by a record-smashing $500 million in 1956. Last week Washington's statisticians, tentatively casting up sums for the year, estimated the total investment to date at $7 billion-probably enough to keep Latin America the area most favored by U.S. investors.* Adding in U.S. Government loans of more than $1 billion and indirect private investments, e.g., bank loans, stocks and bonds, the experts put the grand total of all U.S. funds invested in Latin America...

With the retirement of Dancer Violetta Elvin (to marry for the third time), Beriosova stepped into more and more of Fonteyn's roles. More enthusiastically than ever, the critics applauded her lithe, leggy build, her cool, fluid movements, which are reminiscent of the early Fonteyn's.

In Washington the Federal Power Commission handed down permission for Texas Wheeler-Dealer Clint Murchison to hook his Coastal Transmission Corp. into Houston Texas Gas & Oil Corp., build a $150 million pipeline system to supply gas everywhere along the fast-growing peninsula...
Murchison will build a 574-mile pipeline eastward from McAllen, Texas, gather gas from producers along the way and deliver it to Houston's Baton Rouge station. In turn, Houston will build a pipeline to carry the gas to a Dade County terminus at Cutler, south of Miami, with 682 miles of lateral spur lines running off the main stem to supply customers in every major Florida market...
