...lovely luncheon. Jacqueline Kennedy came, smartly dressed in a checked tweed coat, and the 200 construction workers, clad in khakis and cement dust, grinned delightedly over their lunchtime beers and sandwiches as she accompanied Architect Marcel Breuer on an inspection tour of the new Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan. Meantime, at some less gritty feeds, old New Frontier Friend Nicole Alphand was swirling around town winding up a hectic month of goodbyes. Everyone was a little mournful now that French Ambassador Hervé Alphand was taking his glittering wife back to Paris, where he will become Secretary General...

...IBAG (1964 sales: $9,500,000) beat some giants to the punch. Since early this year, Krupp has been trying to develop several direct joint enterprises with Poland, but so far has been more successful in setting up triangular trade agreements. A Polish contractor is building a Krupp-designed cement factory in Yugoslavia, and shipyards in Bulgaria are making fishing vessels for Ethiopia under subcontracts from Krupp; the company has offered similar triangular deals to the U.S.S.R. Essen's Rheinstahl has agreed to supply Hungary with steel and to engage later in joint manufacture of machine tools, radiators, boilers...
