...join with the overwhelming majority of Venezuelans today in sincerely regretting the violent attacks against the Hon. Richard M. Nixon. Such reprehensible acts do not in any manner express the feeling of the Venezuelan people, because they were carried out by hoodlums and irresponsible teenagers, mostly juvenile delinquents, who have taken abusive advantage of the climate of freedom of expression and reunion that has marked all the acts of the provisional government of this country. I am deeply saddened...
...Parliament, the Christian Democrats lack 26 votes for a majority. Either they will have to shuffle along with their present one-party minority government, gathering day-to-day majorities where they may, or they will have to scout up allies from at least two parties. Possible combinations: join with the free-enterprising Liberals and the Monarchists to form a government leaning to the right, or try to enlist in a center coalition both Giovanni Malagodi's Liberals and Giuseppe Saragat's Social Democrats, whose leaders dislike each other. First the Christian Democrats must choose one of their...

Since maritime traffic with France had been cut off. they were not working anyway, and found it profitable to march along with everyone else...
About half the 112 freight shipping conferences operating in U.S. foreign trade try to freeze out the independent shippers by a "dual rate" policy, i.e., rates up to 10% lower than standard for customers who use only conference ships. Isbrandtsen has refused to join such conferences, holding that they are cartels that add to the cost of foreign trade and discourage free competition. In the early 1950s the line captured 30% of cargoes between Japan and the U.S. East Coast (with only 11% of the sailings) by setting prices 10% below those of the Japan-Atlantic & Gulf Freight Conference...
