Like most of Asia's rich elite, she has sent her three children abroad for studies, and she has had no problems balancing her family budget but as prime minister of Ceylon she is having trouble making ends meet. She is short of money to pay for the food and clothing her country must import, and she has to' find jobs for 700.000 persons, many of them impatient college graduates.

Mrs. Bandaranaike. with Communist allies, came to power in May in a landslide victory. They promised to solve Ceylon's problems by establishing a Socialist society, with a priority the nationalization of the foreign banks. In her campaign.

Mrs. Bandaranaike belittled the aid given by Western nations and banking institutions to help Ceylon's economic development. She said the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund had infringed on Ceylon's economic sovereignty by forcing a devaluation of the rupee and reserving a veto power over those hired to do local development projects. Mrs. Bandaranaike made no secret of a hope the European Communist bloc would become an alternative source of aid.

Although Mrs Bandaranaike promised to create 100.000 new jobs a year, economists believe that her domestic policies may-aggravate the unemployment problem Private investment has virtually dried up. according to authoritative sources. The government plans to progressively take over foreign trade from the private sector beginning in January.

No help has come from a decline in the world market prices for tea. rubber and coconut. These provide 90 per cent ot Ceylon's foreign exchange. 30 per cent of its national income and employment for about a fifth of its work force. Legislation permitting takeover of any business was passed in the lower house of Parlia ment Dec.

These include free education through the university level, free medical and hospital treatment, subsidized bus and train travel and even some free food. The government, for instance, provides Ceylonese two pounds of rice a week free of charge and an additional two pounds at a subsidized price of about 10 cents, hall the market price it is estimated the government this year will spend $22 a year per person on social services, while it will receive $3ri in per capita revenue. Suggestions that reduce the extent of its weltare state seem politically impossible The country has had a tradition ol extensive social services dating back to the British colonial period before independence in 1948 True French With problems mounting and a budget deficit of $195 million forecast for the coming year.

Mrs. Bandaranaike has had to turn to the sources of aid she once denounced. Pierre-Paul Schweitzer, managing director of the IMF. was treated as a state guest when he heard Ceylon's plea for a standby credit of about $25 million A World Bank delegation also was invited. Although Mrs.

Bandaranaike threw out the U.S. Peace Corps and the Asia Foundation, listing them as imperialist agencies, her government has continued to rely on aid from the United States, now totaling $20 million a year. Perhaps Mrs. Bandaranaike's most embarrassing retreat has been the decision to postpone nationalization of the eight foreign banks five British, two Indian and one Pakistani because of the need to rely on them for short-term credits. Ceylon's Communists, who want Mrs.

Bandaranaike to move faster, have become restless. Although they are represented in the Cabinet, they have liounted a campaign through their trade-union wing for an immediate takeover of the banks and foreign-owned tea and rubber plantations. Price controls are in el feet but the cost of living has continued to rise and increasingly to affect most of the 12 million persons living on this Indian Ocean island. A pound of red peppers, which Ceylonese use to flavor their curries, now costs 8 rupees 1 $1.30 1 or two rupees more than a manual worker daily-wage.

"This not only will intensify the audience per performance but with some other careful planning provide just about as much rehearsal time for the following production as previously." Following the 14 public performance weeks, three weeks of Shakespeare will be done for schools in the area. Another economy measure is designed to cut the operating budget exactly in half from last year's Hstronomical $480,000 is selection of plays requiring a maximum ol about nine performers, compared with a dozen or more previously. Then comes Bishop's most adventurous ingredient, an apprentice training setup which to the best of his knowledge has never been tried before "Instead of the usual arrangement, each ol the students is going to be paid.

They'll each get only $25 a week, which isn't much but it is very important. Every morning they will attend training classes, afternoons they rehearse and at night do a showcase performance in the smaller Studio theater which will be a free bonus available to everyone who has bought a ticket upstairs."
