...fading U.S. interest in the Alianza. With Moscoso's departure, Johnson made a Texas-size point of dispelling any such notion. He called all Latin American ambassadors in Washington to the White House this week to discuss Alianza problems. And he will personally sign new loans to Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and a raft of other countries. Said Johnson last week: "In my first official foreign-policy statement as President, I pledged to the representatives of Latin American countries the best efforts of this nation toward the fulfillments of the Alliance for Progress.

The variety of this excellent show proves that he is not to be confined by it. There are huge new spatial fireworks, exploding with the motion of the machine age, smaller works on the same theme, drawings and lithographs.

Strikes & Shortage. The latest copper find just added more excitement to the world copper situation, which is already cluttered and chaotic. Strikers last week slowed production in the rich copper mine area of the Congo, around which Moise Tshombe's shooting war revolved only last year. In Chile, where it often seems that copper labor would rather walk out than work, two crucial wage contracts run out this year; beyond that, Leftist Salvador Allende, who has made nationalization of U.S. copper mines his key plank, is making a strong bid for President in Chile's Sept. 4 election...
Fight for Democracy. The man with the best chance of stopping Allende is Eduardo Frei, 53, the able and eloquent leader of Chile's fast-growing Christian Democratic Party. Chileans are normally reserved about their politicians. But the tall, gaunt, obviously dedicated Frei has a charisma that sends his audience into wild cheers; when he moves about, crowds surround his car, chanting his name, reaching in the window to shake his hand. His party is only eight years old, and yet it emerged from last year's municipal elections with 23% of the total vote to become Chile...
