...indemnities paid by the Egyptians for the canal. Recently, Suez has gone in for more direct participation in manufacturing, and the tie-up with Pont-à-Mousson is the latest result. Should the two companies go on to a full merger, they are likely to replace Rhône-Poulenc, the textile and chemical giant, as France's biggest financial-industrial combine...
...Rhone Poulenc has built a new chemical plant near Ottmarsheim, Peugeot a transmission works at He Napoleon, Hispano-Suiza a factory for aircraft components at Molsheim. Franco-Canadian Polymer is making synthetic rubber near the Strasbourg refineries; three other chemical companies have bought sites near by.

He admires U.S. orchestras for their happy blend of "German discipline and a French kind of freedom." But as a loyal Communist, he has decried their artistic and financial...
...FRANCIS POULENC: SEXTET FOR PIANO AND WINDS (Angel). Prokofiev-like flashes of wit and tipsy abandon brighten the sextet, while the Sonata for Flute and Piano sets afloat a dreamy cantilena, then juggles flashy melodic fragments into thin air, Michel Debost lightly plays the lyrical flute; Jacques Fevrier is the pianist with him and with the Paris Wind Quintet...
