...Penelope Hartland Thunberg, 47, an expert in international economics for the Central Intelligence Agency, to a vacancy on the U.S. Tariff Commission.

The junta declared martial law, sent in troops to end the strike, and packed some 70 people off to jail, including two key air force officers who apparently sided with the civilians. The situation is not likely to be eased by forecasts of a 40% drop in 1965 banana exports because...
