...Bella himself was quick to react. Going on television, he damned Chaabani for undertaking a "criminal adventure" and drummed him in absentia out of the army, the Politburo and the Central Committee. At the same time, a police roundup of other critics of the regime seemed imminent. Missing from their homes last week were Ferhat Abbas, onetime F.L.N. chief and former president of the National Assembly, and Mohammed Boudiaf, a former Politburo member. Another former Ben Bella prison mate, ex-Vice Premier Rabah Bitat, was reported under house arrest...

Washington's Fine Arts Commission, which took the anti-druidic view in 1962, has now finally approved the design after some changes were made, including the addition of an 18-foot-tall statue of the President.

He died soon after-of a "heart attack...

I don't care if there is a Baker's dozen of sacred cows involved in this scandal-they should be herded out in a roundup of honesty." Cheers and applause were thunderous. Even better: the $100-a-plate dinner netted nearly $400,000 for the Goldwater campaign treasury. > Governor Rockefeller returned to New York from his California swing-and probably wished that he had stayed away longer. The state assembly in Albany turned down...
LATIN AMERICAN ART TODAY-Trinity School, 139 West 91st. In recent years the dialogue of modern art has broken down most language barriers (see listings for the Danes and Japanese below}. Any notion that the Latin Americans have failed to get the message is dispelled by this roundup of 17 accomplished painters from eight countries, among them Rufino Tamayo of Mexico, Alejandro Obregón of Colombia, Matta of Chile. Alejandro Otero of Venezuela and Wifredo Lam of Cuba. Through March...
