...copper mines of Chile are a natural proving ground for the boss of Anaconda Co.-Charles M. Brinckerhoff, 63, who last week was promoted from president to the newly created post of vice chairman and chief executive officer. He succeeds Clyde E. Weed, 74, who stays on as chairman. A Columbia-trained mining engineer, Brinckerhoff spent 23 of his 38 years with Anaconda supervising its Chilean mines, the source of 70% of the output and 80% of the profits of the world's second largest copper producer (after Kennecott). Among his honors: the Bernardo O'Higgins Order...
...fading U.S. interest in the Alianza. With Moscoso's departure, Johnson made a Texas-size point of dispelling any such notion. He called all Latin American ambassadors in Washington to the White House this week to discuss Alianza problems.

There are huge new spatial fireworks, exploding with the motion of the machine age, smaller works on the same theme, drawings and lithographs.

Other loans have gone for a synthetic rubber plant in Brazil, a wood pulp mill in Colombia, fruit processing in Argentina, textile mill expansion in Paraguay, and plants to process timber into chip board for construction in Chile and Argentina...
Strikes & Shortage. The latest copper find just added more excitement to the world copper situation, which is already cluttered and chaotic. Strikers last week slowed production in the rich copper mine area of the Congo, around which Moise Tshombe's shooting war revolved only last year. In Chile, where it often seems that copper labor would rather walk out than work, two crucial wage contracts run out this year; beyond that, Leftist Salvador Allende, who has made nationalization of U.S. copper mines his key plank, is making a strong bid for President in Chile's Sept. 4 election...
