...also produced a vague document called "The Burmese Way to Socialism" and nationalized industry, collectivized agriculture, and took complete control of foreign trade. One Saturday afternoon, he grabbed the nation's 24 foreign and domestic banks. Britain's prestigious Lloyd's bank was renamed People's Bank No. 19, and the same fate befell two Red Chinese banks, putting a crimp in Rangoon's Communist propaganda machine...
...Document. The Moscow agreement itself is simple-some feel too simple. In 800 refreshingly brief words, the U.S., Britain and the Soviet Union agree to "prohibit, to prevent and not to carry out any nuclear weapons test explosion or any other nuclear explosion" in the atmosphere, outer space or under water, the treaty to be of "indefinite duration."

Although the Soviets themselves refused to publish it, Moscow complained last week that Chinese agents handed out the document in cities from Odessa to Leningrad and even in the atomic research center of Dubna, near Moscow. Chinese crews on the Peking-Moscow express scattered bundles of the manifesto through coach windows, used the train's public-address system to read the Chinese charges to the captive Soviet audience...
