Tunnel to Friendship. Argentina is predominantly agricultural, Chile a mountainous country of mines and forests. Their economies do not compete, although both harbor enough young, hothouse industries to preclude a 100% customs union. Chile, fighting inflation (TIME, Dec. 16), welcomed the ready cash to expand her industries-lumber, power, coal-welcomed still more a chance to buy cheaply from Argentina's ample supply of meat and other foodstuffs for her undernourished masses. Argentina badly needs Chile's coal, iron and copper to carry out Peron's ambitious five-year plan...
Died. William V. ("Big Bill") Dwyer, 63, onetime "king of the bootleggers," who in Prohibition days commanded a fleet of 20 rum-runners, controlled the entry of liquor into New York Harbor; of a heart attack; in Belle Harbor, Queens. After spending "a little vacation" in Atlanta's Federal Penitentiary (he was convicted of bootlegging in 1926), he tried to rebuild his crumbled fortune through sports promoting, bought the N.Y.

Last week, five years to the minute after the catastrophe of Pearl Harbor, the Army commemorated the day, with the same flag which had survived it. The Navy, which had suffered a great deal more, ignored the anniversary of the Japanese attack. Explained a spokesman: "We want to forget-not remember." *The ultimate arbiter is one Bertha K. Eastmond, a socially unknown, and determinedly anonymous woman in her 60s, who lives in seclusion...
...show the boy going to sleep every time and then show him waking up, but let the waking up come as a termination to each page. . . . Can you develop anything out of the idea of having Dick the son of the keeper of the Liberty Statue in New York Harbor? I do not suggest this, as it would probably add further complications, but it might give a spiritual tie to all the dreams. The main thing, however, is to get more realism...
