...Council-speaking for 15 million organized workers-gathered around their huge, elliptical conference table in Washington to survey the damage and see what they could do. "There are too many people," said the Auto Workers' Walter Reuther, "who will use this current expose of Teamsters' corruption to exploit their own purposes-to try to restrict the entire labor movement." The Electrical Workers' Jim Carey added: "It is absolutely necessary that we denounce and renounce such characters or we will pay a terrible price for permitting ourselves to be associated in the public eye with these phonies...
...Italy's state-owned ENI company a major operator in Middle East, give it drilling rights in Iran's rich new fields (potential production: 35 million bbl. a year) at Qum.

He began mining the area's neglected iron pyrite deposits (for sulphuric acid), then built a plant to process the pyrite wastes, and extracted 600,000 tons of pig iron yearly-a boon for iron-poor Italy. He made blasting powder for his own mines and turned Catini into Italy...
Gomulka, who announced that "Communism is flexible enough for everything except permitting man to exploit man,'' was ready to try all sorts of unorthodox ways to hold Poland for Communism. He named Jerzy Sztachelski, former Minister of Health, to the new Office of Church Affairs. In return for the public pledge of support, Sztachelski quickly conceded the cardinal's representatives' two" main demands: 1) that religious instruction be given in schools for all whose parents ask it; 2) that church appointments no longer be subject to state veto. Having gained these concessions, the Vatican last week...
