...along with Radcliffe's new lines, we should have this Spring: a variety of colors--brash, bright, and buoyant in skirts, deep tones or dainty pastels in dresses; a similar variety in skirts--from the Guatemalan to the Indian print to the broomstick skirt; as for blouses, nothing much can change there anyway. And we've even heard of a lipstick called Volupte...
Keeping faith with its stockholders, the company announced that it would appeal to the Guatemalan supreme court, challenging a provision of the agrarian law which bars court appeals from land-reform decisions. The last four supreme-court justices who ruled in favor of a landholder were thrown out and replaced by stooges of the Red-tinged government; thus the company appeal seems doomed. United Fruit may then peg its hopes on a statement of principle enunciated by Cordell Hull after Mexico expropriated U.S. oil companies in 1938. Secretary of State Hull conceded that a government had the right to expropriate...
...typewritten pages, the Guatemalan government's land-reform administration last week told the U.S.-owned United Fruit Co. that the government will expropriate 225,000 acres of the company's 300,000-acre plantations at Tiquisate (TIME, March 2).

In addition to the 37 sport-car drivers entered, 64 more were ready to try their luck in a separate division for modified U.S. stock cars. Ahead of the racers lay 1,946 miles of torturous mountain roads and sun-baked...
Government was refusing to sell arms to the Red-tinged Guatemalan government. He hurried to Guatemala City, claiming that he could buy "anything from boots to an atomic bomb." By his accounting, over the las't three years he bought in Italy, Switzerland and Spain, and sold to Guatemala, forty .50-caliber machine guns, six half-tracks, 3,000 pairs of boots, 20 bulletproof vests, and trucks, jeeps, rifles, bazookas and ammunition. He netted some $200,000, tipped barbers at the Palace Hotel $5 for a 75? haircut. But Guatemala, nettled by the Eagle's noisy revelations...
