KENNETH MCKELLAR, a stylish Scottish tenor who is equally at home singing Handel arias, gives meticulous attention to Greensleeves and Other Songs of the British Isles (London). Abetted by a sensitive orchestral accompaniment, McKellar's expressiveness and polish bring freshness to such faded ballads as The Last Rose of Summer and Ye Banks and Braes...
...their Copa runneth over. The Supremes were nationwide headliners last week on the Ed Sullivan TV show and this week will be on the Sammy Davis Jr. show. Their latest record, My World Is Empty Without You, rose to No. 5 on the Billboard "Hot 100," with plenty of thrust in reserve. If it keeps climbing, it could become the Supremes' seventh release in a row to make No. 1. "You know," burbled Diana, now 21, "we used to get excited about the Apollo [a Harlem vaudeville house].

The biggest reason: a $2.25 billion drop in bank loans to foreigners. Offsetting that gain, however, imports rose faster than exports, partly because of dock strikes and partly in response to the demand for goods from free-spending consumers and businessmen.
