...refugees fleeing into Macao reported that food rations in China are so scanty that "even the birds would find it hard to survive." Worried Hong Kong Chinese are shipping more than 100,000 lbs. of food daily to relatives on the mainland. Peking is urgently seeking freight space to import 330,000 tons of wheat from Australia, 350,000 tons of rice from Burma and 120,000 tons of barley from Canada...
...chorus of pleas for higher tariffs and more import quotas on foreign goods always rises in volume when the roar of U.S. assembly lines slackens a bit. The current business slump is no exception. And now the chorus has swelled with the addition of some new voices: labor unions, long among the staunchest supporters of freer trade. For the first time, when the conservative, protectionist Nation-Wide Committee on Import-Export Policy met last week in Washington, some 20 labor unions were represented. Breaking away from basic A.F.L.-C.I.O. policy, which remains free trade, the unions joined the committee...
Worried about the inflow of foreign electronic parts, the big International Union of Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers called upon Congress and the President not only to curb imports but also to limit the flow of U.S. capital into manufacturing overseas.

The Pottery Workers, the Boilermakers and the Carpenters unions are currently weighing anti-import actions...

The holdovers-not counting the perennials such as My Fair Lady and The Music Man-are topped by Fiorello!, an unpretentious reminiscence of the Little Flower, and Bye Bye Birdie, a sprightly spoof of an Elvis-type monster...
...dancers, a Turkish girl named Semra, works at a roadhouse outside Bristol, Conn. The girls are kept booked and moving by several agents, notably voluble, black-bearded Murat Somay, a Manhattan Turk who is the Sol Hurok of the central abdomen. He can offer nine Turkish girls, plans to import at least 15 more. But a great many of the dancers are more or less native. Sometimes they get their initial experience in church haflis, conducted by Lebanese and Syrians in the U.S., where they dance with just as few veils across their bodies as in nightclubs...
