Last week, carrying 580 passengers, the trim, 20,906-ton Santa Maria put in at La Guaira, the seaport of Caracas. The conspirators boarded the ship, arousing no particular suspicion, since young, male, single employees of Royal Dutch Shell in Venezuela often use the Portuguese line to travel...

The cutbacks meant that production in the next few months will look poor when compared with 1960, when the industry produced heavily in the first quarter to replenish stocks depleted by the steel strike...
