Arguedas all but confirmed the charge by showing up in the Chilean port of Iquique to ask for political asylum. Barrientos still refused to accuse his old friend, instead issued a statement that spoke darkly of "Castro-Communist infiltration in high organs of the state."

Last week, however, Sato's gamble paid off: in nationwide elections, his Liberal Democrats retained their majority in the Diet's upper house for another three years...
Cutting the Heart. Port authorities are even more concerned that the dispute will cause a permanent loss of seaway traffic. "The strike has cut the heart out of the seaway season," says Captain John J. Manley, Chicago port director, who estimates that 750,000 tons of cargo will be diverted to East Coast ports by this week. Such losses could saddle U.S. and Canadian taxpayers with extra burdens.
