...presented to Kelley by the FBI'S "Executive Conference" on his birthday and on the anniversary of his appointment as director. The Executive Conference consists of 16 ranking FBI officials who chipped in some $15 each to honor Kelley. Members of the conference last week visited Levi to express "absolute support and confidence" in Kelley. None of them reminded Levi that they had sent the Attorney General about $30 worth of flowers recently on his wedding anniversary...
...Britain. Hauser, 56, whose previous allegations have been characterized by the Dutch commission as 'largely incorrect and based on false premises," struck again last week when he told the London Sunday Express of rumors that a Tory Cabinet minister had received a $ 1 million payoff three years ago to prevent Air Holdings Ltd. from backing out of its commitment to order 30 Lockheed TriStars (with options for 20 more).

That beauty in the chic safari hat and Paris finery is Actress Ursula Andress, 40, on location in Rhodesia, for her new film Safari Express. A comedy spoof of 1950s jungle pictures, the movie shows Ursula as a geologist's assistant who karate-chops her way back to civilization while mussing nary a hair. On the screen, that is.

Bank of America, Citibank, Chase Manhattan and Manufacturers Hanover all conspicuously took no part in a recent $250 million loan to the Soviet Union's Foreign Trade Bank. Some Western banks are also trying to raise interest rates charged to Communist borrowers. They...
Cleaning Coops. If Perdue looks believable as a man devoted to raising tender chickens, it is no accident. His father Arthur, now 91, quit his job as a Railway Express agent and in 1920 set up a chicken house on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Frank, an only child, grew up with the birds: "I dug cesspools, made coops and cleaned them out." By the mid 1950s, the Perdues' well-bred chickens were winning top prices at auctions, but Frank realized that there was money to be made processing and marketing the birds as well. Eight years...
