...shows in decades. Called "The New American Painting" and financed by the International Council at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition is the first long, mass look Europeans have had at the leaders of the abstract expressionist movement. Billed by its partisans as the first home-grown art movement to rate international recognition, "The New American Painting" is getting cheers from most younger painters, cries of outrage from many critics, nibbles from some collectors and a monumental amount of bafflement from the general public...
...Royal Dutch dropped from 45⅞ to 42; Texas Co. from 71⅝ to 68; Gulf from 118 to 109⅛. Domestic oils, which could benefit from greatly increased production at home in another situation like Suez (see below), staged a smart rally. Atlantic Refining rose from 38 to 40¾; Shell from 76 to 80⅝; Amerada from 104 to 109¼. Like the home-grown oils, many other industries slowed by the recession picked up market strength as investors gambled on an imminent change in the business tides.

Osaka manufacturers have tried to convince consumers that "because Japanese are smaller and weigh less than Westerners, they need only a half-size tranki." Then, working both sides of the street, they blandly urge buyers...
Unlike his fellow neutralist Nehru, who abominates home-grown Communists, Banda gave the full scope and support of his office to the island's most militant Marxist, shock-haired Agriculture Minister Philip Gunawardena, 58. A shouting, sarong-clad union boss who learned his leftism in the U.S.-at the University of Wisconsin and in Manhattan's Union Square-Gunawardena built his power month after month. By tying up island transport in incessant union warfare against rival Marxists, Gunawardena drove Banda to nationalize all buses Jan. 1. Later in the month, after even rougher bullyboy tactics by Gunawardena...
