...Last year the British consulted with the fund for weeks before making up their minds how much devaluation to risk. Afterward, the IMF gave the U.K. a hefty $1.4 billion stand-by credit to help it get back on its feet. As one condition, IMF aides scrutinized and gave tacit approval to the draconian British budget introduced last week (see THE WORLD) before the Labor Government dared present it to Parliament. Had the IMF considered the British economic cutback too meager, it could have canceled the loan and so forced Britain at least to the brink of a second devaluation...
...deadlines for Nebraska, Oregon and Indiana fall one after another this month, Rockefeller will doubtless be criticized for his decision to remain aloof, but it seems unlikely that he will reconsider at this stage. Yet his drive needs some impetus. By week's end he had already given tacit consent to the formation of Rockefeller-for-President groups in each state, and organizational work was beginning. These units may soon be meshed into a national organization. It is still questionable whether a draft can be induced in this manner for Rockefeller. Moreover, by boycotting the primaries he will...

...confrontation between Mayor John Lindsay and the Teamster-affiliated Uniformed Sanitationmen's Association had been abuilding for months. The mayor thought that he had a tacit understanding with Union President John DeLury for a reasonable settlement. The city was willing to give an annual increase of $350, plus fringe improvements, to the 10,000 workers who now receive $7,956 after three years' service. But DeLury, apparently unable to sell those terms to his men, demanded $600. After sporadic negotiations, the union staged a wild rally at city hall two weeks ago, virtually forced DeLury to call...
...ship-clearing operation had begun smoothly enough. For two days Israeli soldiers idly watched from the east bank while Egyptian tugs probed south of the midway port of Ismailia to chart an exit channel past sunken obstacles (scuttled ships, downed jets). Then, breaking a tacit understanding with Israel that they would clear only the southern half of the canal, the Egyptians suddenly announced that they also wanted to look over the canal's northern half. The Israelis immediately suspected an Egyptian maneuver aimed not only at reopening the canal's entire 107-mile length but perhaps at clearing...
