...flood of foreign oil-and to soothe the politically potent ire of Texas' independent oilmen-the Interior Department two months ago set up a voluntary import curb on big oil companies. Last week the program's administrator. Navy Captain Matthew V. Carson Jr.. logged a mutinous crew and foul weather ahead. The companies were asked to cut imports 10% below their 1954-to-1956 levels, bring in only 755,700 bbl. of foreign crude a day. But Captain Carson's first statistics showed a daily August total of 982,300 bbl. The companies themselves estimate daily...
Nikita Khrushchev had had a stolid and passive reception everywhere in East Germany, and his ire began to come up. After calling Hitler "the hangman of the international workers' movement," Khrushchev addressed himself directly to Konrad Adenauer, as if the West German Chancellor were in his audience. Why, he demanded, should Adenauer's government have now revived, at trade talks in Moscow, the question of repatriating the 60,000 to 90,000 Germans left behind in Russia in World War II? Said Khrushchev: "We have long since come to agreement on repatriation of prisoners of war, and this...
...crackdown, but a carefully planned piece of political strategy. The man behind it: War Minister Henrique Teixeira Lott, who staged 1955's famed "preventive coup" to ensure constitutional government, but who lately has been showing increasing annoyance at parliamentary foibles.

...there, and he is president of the committee. The State Department turned down his request for passport validation on the ground that the U.S. has no diplomatic relations with that satellite. No man to allow international politics to take precedence over the higher imperatives of sport, Brundage fired his ire to newsmen: "Just imagine the blow to U.S. Olympic prestige! Why, if the president of the International Committee is unable to attend an important meeting, the United States might as well drop out of the games." Outlook by week's end: Brundage will get his passport...
...seven stories of her new book, Yorkshirewoman Bentley brings off a considerable literary feat by exploring her region in time: the first story is set in 1350, the last in 1950. Place names echo and re-echo-Annotsfield, Whindale, the Ire Valley-as do the names of people: Brigg, Egmont, Resmond. Novelist Bentley succeeds in showing, as she sets out to do, that Yorkshire's West Ridinghood is persistent in the character of the tykes -whether they wield bows, shuttles or hymnbooks...
