Undecorous Acts." Last week at a formal dinner in Quito honoring Admiral Wilfred J. McNeil, president of Grace Line, Arosemena was full of liquid passion. Evidently upset over the squabble with U.S. tuna fishermen, he told off U.S. Ambassador Maurice Bernbaum in loud, undiplomatic language. "The Government of the United States," declared Arosemena, "exploits Latin America and exploits Ecuador."

When the turnipy teamster does return, he will face 15 more years for embezzlement of his union's funds...
