Looking to Bethlehem. After manganese was discovered in the Amazon, a mineowner named Augusto Trajano de Azevedo Antunes obtained the mining rights and began looking for foreign help to swing the operation. A number of U.S. companies turned him down, insisting on 100% of the business or nothing at all. Finally, in 1949, Bethlehem Steel agreed to supply Antunes with financing and technical know-how in return for a minority interest. The arrangement has proved so successful that it has been imitated of ten by other mining, oil and industrial companies getting started in Brazil...

Last week, the New Philharmonia announced plans for a tour of Mexico and South America this summer, to be followed by a swing through Europe.

And he has even hinted that he might ease his views on segregation: "I've been able to recognize that things move and to adjust myself to a changing world...
Double Frown. But Sato will be disappointed if, as seems possible, he is hoping to swing the U.S. toward the increasingly popular view in Japan that Red China should be brought into the U.N.-and perhaps even receive diplomatic recognition.

And that role would not include giving a helping hand to the men in Peking...
