Prime Minister
Is Very Much A Woman

Weeping Widow"
But this picture of weak wom-
anhood is fading fast.
"Think of her as a widow
with los million children" one
diplomat said.
Concern For People
Mrs. Bandaranaike is deeply
concerned with her peoples well
fare. This has led to the social
ist-style takeover Of many indus
tries, but it also has given the
Ceylonese hte widest range of
social welfare benefits in Asia.
Mrs. Bandaranaike's CO.'S mil
lion children get free educa-
ton to the university level. They
get cheap or free medical care.
Their fish, kerosene, cloth and
local transportation is SUBJ
sidized. Fully 20 per cent Of the
budget goes to provide rice to
the public at hardly one-fourth
the open market price.
Her strong moral feelings are
those of an ideal wife and moth
.er Of an aristocratic Ceylonese
family. They fit in with her.
avoidance Of tobacco, her re-
'fusal to wear cosmetics and
her reluctance to meet Strang-
erS.
Born In Wealth
Mrs. Bandaranaike was born
in 1916 to the Ratwatte family,
at the very top Of Ceylon's
pyramid of wealth, caste and
social tradition.
In 1910, a match was ar
ranged to unite Sirimavo's clan
of highland mobiles with the
wealthy lowland family Of
w. R. D. Bandaranaike.
Bandaranaike was much older
and he was one Of Ceylon's
f~astest-moving politicians. While
Sirimavo stayed at home, he
stumped the island for Cey-
lonese nationalism, the Bud
dhist religion and welfare-State
socialism.
Bandaranaike's coalition won
an upset victory in the 1856
elections. He became prime min
lister with a big parliamentary
majority.
-Four years ago the daily
swarm Of visitors to his home
included an embittered Bud
dhist ''bhikkhu' who had been
denied a political appointment.
AS Bandaranaike bowed to the
monk in the approved religious
manner, the bhikkhu whipped a
pistol from his yellow robes and
shot the prime minister to death
Turn To Widow
The prime minister's des-
perate allies were then driven
to the expedient Of using Ban
daranaike's widow as a symbol
to whip up support for their
party. They made her titular
head of the Sri Lanka Freedom
Party (SLFP) and ran her for
the senate in the 1860 elections.
Sirimavo toured the country
with her political mentors, con-
stantly reminding the voters of
her martyred husbands popu-
larity and frequently breaking
into tears in the midst of her
campaign speeches. The tactics
won a national victory for the
SLIP.
Once in power, the SLIP lead
erS made Mrs. Bandaranaike
the prime minister.
Mrs. Bandaranaike'S chief adj
visor is her finance minister,
a Marxist named T. B. Ham
garatne. 1t is believed that the
prime minister makes the de-
cisions herself, though she lis

honored.
A dinner meeting of the

Senator Holland said. But,
first it must get out of the
House Ways and Means

battle in the House, he
added.
In the Senate, the medi-

The bill also will face
strong opposition" on the
Senate floor, though he pre-

Gov. Rockefeller's second
marriage has made som e
Southern Democrats un-

He explained that som e
Southern Democrats feel
Gov. Rockefeller's nomination
would help President Ken

views of the two are similar.
Southerners, given a choice
of the two, will stick with

said.
The marriage made people
happy and unhappy in both
parties, according to Senator
Holland.

The penny candies that
grown-ups remember as a
pillar of their childhood are
threatening to become mu-
scum pieces.
Once a substantial source
Of income for the candy
merchants, l-cent sweets
don't carry their weight any
more.
They still constitute 5 per
cent of all candy sales in this
country, according to a re-
lease put out by the Ma
tional Confectioners Associa-
ton. But Mr.. John M.
Whitaker, executive vice
president Of the New Eng
land Confectionery Co. and
a director of the association,
said the industry is less and
less able to afford them.
Throughout New England,
where thrift and quality are
much esteemed, there are
country stores that main
tain penny-candy counters
for their juvenile patrons, he
said. This is more a service
than q source of revenue,
however. And other variety
stores, and toy stores and
sweet shops around the
country that continue to
stock penny candy generally
do so, he pointed out, as a
come-on for the other things
they sell.
The trouble is, Of course,
the cost of ingredients is
high and going higher. So is
the cost of labor and produc-
ton. To supply consumers
with the same familiar tastes
they expect in sweets. rather
than cheaper substitutes, the
candy makers must either
reduce the weight Of an item
or raise the price.
Talking about weight re-
duction, Mr.. Whitaker re-
ported a joke in the trade

about candy bars that get
thinner and thinner and

adults, It doesn't seem to
bother the youngsters too
much, since they don't deal

AS the cost of living goes
up, so do allowances and the
big sellers with children
nowadays, according to Mr..
Whitaker, are the sand 10
cent bar and package variety
chocolate or chocolate-cov-
cred bars, especially.
The major block Of candy
buyers is the 8-to-17-year-
old group, which keeps the
manufacturers firmly in
mind Of children's tastes. Do
they change from generation
to generation? Mr.. Whitaker
says no.
In fact, he said, the only
things that really change in
his business - other than
prices-are the labels and the
packaging. The old maxim,
there's nothing new under
the sum-" applies neatly to
the candy industry, which
goes back at least 1000 years
to the Egyptians.
Mr.. Whitaker and other
candy company executives

Chairman william E. Miller
can report back to Washing
ton that Florida's leading
G. o. P. clubwomen over
whelmingly want Arizona's
Senator Barry Goldwater as
their 1864 presidential nom
inee.
He got the message during
q banquet here before the
Florida Federation of Repub-
hcan Women's Clubs.
Mr.. Miller had recited the
litany Of the potential can
didates: Governors Rockefel-
Ter, Romney and Scranton.
There was scarcely a ripple.
And, of course" he added
slowly, there is Sen a tor
Goldwater." There was wild
applause which stopped his
speech for q full two min
utes. Poised behind the ros-
trum, Mr.. Miller's eyes
scanned the cheering hall full
of diners.
Mr.. Miller, a New York
Congressman, was Serenaded
with THE Sidewalks of New
York" Making a quick side
line comment on the mar
riage of Mrs. Happy" Muir
ply to Governor Rockefeller,
Mr.. Miller quipped:
"In the past few days the
New York State song has
been changed to Happy Days
Are Here Again But-daSh
it all-that's FDR's song!"
At an earlier press confer
ence, the national chairman
was asked:
Would Governor Rocke-
feller's prospects for the 1864
Republican nomination be
brighter If he had honey
mooned in Palm Beach?"
Said Mr.. Miller: you'll
have to learn the answer to
that one from the Chamber
of Commerce"
There was serious business,
too.
Mr.. Miller called for a
tougher policy on Cuba at
the press conference. Then, at
the banquet, he promised
there would be strong Repub-
lican bids for State and con-
gressional seats, as well as
other offices, in the 1864 po-
ntlcal campaigns.
Close Ports
On Cuba, Mr.. Miller urged
that all American ports be
closed to foreign shipping do
ing trade with Cuba; closure
of the Panama Canal to such
shipping, and an end to all
foreign aid to Latin Ameri-
can countries involved d in
business with Cuba.
At the press conference,
Mr.. Miller was asked II Rich
ard Nixon's move to Mr.. Mil
ler's home State had political
Implications. The chairman
brushed aside the question
and the former Vice President
by replying: II don't think
so. He didn't have much
strength in California and I
know he hasn't any in New
York"
At the banquet, Mr.. Miller
started his speech and his
dedicated task TO make life
miserable for the Democrats
by launching himself with
this remark.

A. President Kennedy put it
Slightly differently, when he
said that what we want for
Africa is what the Africans
want for themselves, and that
as they build up their own
Independent societies, we can
live with that, whereas the Rus
slams can't, because the Rus
slams demand conformity to
their theology. In other words,
what we are doing here is af-
firmatively helping build the

Congo I think in the long run
will permit the Congo to become
a self-sufficient economy with
in a period of years. I don't
know how many it would be.
Hopefully, four to five years.
The actual addition of the Ka-
tanga revenues to the other
revenues of the Congo will not
wipe out the annual operating
deficits. The business of the
Congo outside of Katanga fell
off don't know-50 per cent
or more with the mutiny, with
the hard times, and with the
efforts to end secession.
The Katanga is not only a
large mineral-producing area,
but around these mineral CEN
ters grew up light industries.
These light industries, in turn,
sold tn cir products to the
northern part of the Congo and
they paid for it by agricultural
products. Well, this has been
broken off and both sides have
lost because of it. I think that
once there is re-integration,
there will be a squirt to the
economy, and that, plus the
very sizable mineral returns,
ought within a period Of years
to bring the economy back to a
viable state.

u. N. Action in Congo
Set No Precedent

@. If the United Nations has
the right to intervene in the
internal affairs of the Congo.
can it do the same in any other
country?
A. Most people, when they
raise this problem, think that
the United Nations will, by its
own volition, enter into a coun-
try. The Congo is no precedent
for that at all, because the
government invited them in.
@. U Thant said in a state
ment of December 81 that "the
u. N. is not waging war against
anyone in Katanga." If 1t is not
a war, what is It?
A. The United Nations has,
on a number of occasions, had
to employ military force for
one reason or another. The
U. N. employed 1t in Korea,
they employed 1t in Lebanon,
they employed it at the GAIA
strip. In the Congo. the use of
force has been as a deterrent
to the use of force by others.
Unfortunately, this deterrent at
times has not been sufficiently
credible.
@. Turning to the economic
side, can we get the Congo into
perspective a little bit?

Certainly this is true in Af-
rica. The Congo happens to be
the geopolitical center, you
might call it the heart of At
rica, and If an unfriendly
regime were set up here. in
fluenced by Communist OF
other unfriendly powers, ther
we might have a large part OF
Africa which would be tending
to be working against us, tend

dition, and, as a consequence,
a potential threat to our Sc
curity.
In order to introduce sta
bility into the Congo, and, con-
sequently, into a large area of
Africa, President Eisenhower
felt it was appropriate to sup
port the United Nations in its
objectives here. I do think
events will prove that this is
important.
