Impulsora's backers (so far its capital is a modest $500,000) are 50% Mexicans, 50% U.S. citizens, but its president is 100%-Mexican Salvador Ugarte, who also heads Mexico City's potent Banco de Comercio. Its purpose is to find ways of investing the long-term capital of both countries in productive Mexican enterprise; its pet project is to help U.S. corporations establish branch plants that will be 50% Mexican-owned. Said Charlie Glore last week, understating the case for his corporation: "Business in Mexico is going to be small for some time ... it has to grow...
Surrealists, Class-Strugglers. Kootz whales away at surrealism in general as "an aspect of frustration" and evidence of "the decay of France." He admires the earlier work of Giorgio di Chirico.

But last week his first portrait show at Manhattan's Knoedler galleries proved that Dali, when confronted by society ladies, can make faces look as vapidly human as any other slick artist can. Garnished with the carefully strange surrealist fantasy which Salvador Dali affects, some of his canvases could pass for society magazine covers...
...modern painters. They recall the 15th-Century Italians. In St. John, the artist's favorite, the almost incredible detail of the long golden locks of hair might have been done by the hand of Fra Filippo Lippi, the veins on the hands and arms by the Surrealist virtuoso Salvador Dali. In Silence the delicacy of the veil over the sleeping girl's face, the pearl-like drops of water, suggested the Dutch masters. Milena's superb taste falters only rarely, notably in her portrait of her Royal cousin, which might have graced the shop windows...
