...Cent. Moscow's balance sheet shows more red than black in its efforts to make political capital out of credit in the Middle East. Not a single recipient of Russian help has gone Communist. Nasser, the biggest taker, periodically pays his political debts with a verbal swipe at the U.S., but in fact is largely playing his own game in the Middle East with Russian marbles. Cairo is caught in a serious financial squeeze that shut down stock exchanges last week, endangers Nasser's ability to pay his ruble debts or his other borrowings. In strife-torn Yemen...

...easy swipe for the American, which prints by the offset process; all the paper had to do was cut out a Republic box score, paste it up on a dummy of its own sports page and then photograph and engrave the whole page. A very useful trick for a small, struggling daily without much money to spend. But the Republic's Gianelli decided to fix the American's wagon. So into one box score he inserted a damning phrase-REPRINTED FROM REPUBLIC. Sure enough, it came out that way in the American that same afternoon...
