Chrysler and General Motors set historic highs during the week, and Ford came within an inch of its alltime peak. Many companies that sell to the automakers-in steel, copper, rubber, glass -also jumped smartly. Another fast riser was Du Pont (up 17 points, to 276), which still holds 23 million shares of G.M. stock...

"There is no need to regiment the life of the nation under the iron fist of dictatorship," he said last week. "Much less do we need an ideology that is deeply split between Moscow and Peking...

Last year Mexico sold an estimated 500,000 tons of wheat to China, plus 22,000 bales of cotton; a 500,000-bale deal is pending for this year. Chile is selling nitrates and a small amount of copper.

Now automation has finally caught up with beer. Last week technicians for Canadian Breweries Ltd. worked at taking the last kinks out of a new, fully automated $8,000,000 plant at Fort Worth, Texas, where beer will be made within two months by a radical technology. Brewers have considered the method for years and other firms are testing it, but Canadian Breweries will be the first to use it in beer production...
