...major opponent is Luis A. Ferre, a politically ambitious industrialist with holdings in cement, clay, iron and glass who was twice defeated by Muñoz in gubernatorial campaigns. Forming a nonpartisan group that is known as the United Statehooders, Ferre has developed considerable appeal to the island's growing middle-income group.

Though the island's major statehood and independence parties have officially refused to endorse the plebiscite, factions of both groups are actively campaigning...
...rush of foreign capital. The first step, which takes effect next month, raises the limit on outside investment in existing Japanese companies from 15% to a still meager 20%.

...raids, said Rear Admiral David C. Richardson, whose Task Force 77 carriers launched the jets, "will show some people that their sanctuaries are not what they think they are."
