Claims Staked. Three presidential hopefuls have staked out claims on the area.

Adlai Stevenson will tour Latin America in February. Nelson Rockefeller, the State Department's 1940-44 coordinator of inter-American affairs, recently suggested a single common market embracing the U.S. and the 20 Latin American states.

Booked into Montreal's high-tariff El Morocco nightclub, the four singing sons of aging (55) Groaner Bing Crosby soon found close harmony impossible. Their price tag was $12,500 for a week, but they only lasted three days. They bought their way out of their contract.

Realistically, the U.S. has poured billions overseas to rebuild the industrial nations and finance the undeveloped, while many a rebuilt, well-financed country has maintained tariff walls against U.S. goods or tight controls on dollar purchases. Samples: Britain still limits or bars a long list of U.S. goods ranging from construction machinery to comic books; France excludes U.S. bourbon while buying British Scotch; Japan requires licensing for 70% of her imports, will not let Japanese businessmen buy some...
