...troubles connected to American glorifying of private sectors in nations without much reverence for free enterprise. Without arguing for it, it approves of the Hickenlooper Amendment (providing for withdrawal of aid funds after expropriation of U.S.-controlled industries without proper compensation) which has in practice given administrators in Ceylon nightmares. The report drew from the habit of some Latin American governments (of subsidizing inefficient state-owned concerns for purposes of patronage) the general moral that the U.S. should not support state industries which compete with private ones. If followed, this principle will prohibit A.I.D.'s granting India's request...
...than speech: "I want to explore the variations on the theme of a man being basically in conflict with his own destiny, asserting his instinct for constructiveness, conflicting with the destructive forces around him." But his search for motion-picture reality is earnest: he built miles of roads in Ceylon while making River Kwai, hired 16 elephants to haul the 30,000 cu. ft. of timber used to build the bridge. "One Hollywood joker," says Spiegel, "said that 'If you like Palm Springs, you'll love Lawrence,' but the point is that Lawrence was great largely because...

...enforcing "Mexicanization" laws and decrees that call for the sale to Mexican citizens of majority capital in many foreign-owned industries. The U.S. Congress last year wrote the Hickenlooper Amendment into the Foreign Assistance Act to cut off foreign aid to any country that expropriates U.S. properties without compensation. Ceylon was the first to be hurt, losing out on U.S. aid because it neglected to pay for the U.S.-owned gasoline stations and oil depots that it grabbed a year...
Yolande Bevan is a funny name for a jazz singer; but then, most jazz singers are not, like Miss Bevan, from Ceylon. Almost by accident, she met up with Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks and is now the third member of what used to be the Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross trio. (Annie Ross has returned to England for reasons of health.) The new trio's most recent release, Lambert, Hendricks, and Bevan at Basin Street East (RCA Victor 2635) is interesting solely for the novelty of a Ceylonese girl singing Charlie Parker-type solos...
