"California would be the first to benefit from liberalization," he says.

"The Chinese, for example, inquired about the possibility of buying airliners here and were turned down, so they ended up purchasing Viscounts from the British. And the food processing machinery made in Northern California is precisely what these countries need to feed their people." Coexistence and commerce are inextricably intertwined, he maintains.

Hilton to Buy 6 More of International Leisure JacorporatMl TOKYO Japan's biggestand the world's seventh largestbank will be created by the merger of the Dai-lchi Bank and the Nippon Kangyo Bank, it was announced Thursday. Combined deposits of the new institution would total 3.3 trillion yen ($9.2 billion) and aggregate assets 4.1 trillion yen ($11.4 billion). These figures would easily surpass the 2.6 trillion yen ($7 billion) in deposits and 3.9 trillion yen ($10.8 billion) in total assets of the Fuji Bank, until now Japan's biggest.

No. 1 High Profit Bank The new giant will be known as the Dai-lchi Kangyo Bank literally 1 "number one high profit bank" with each shareholder in the former pair of banks getting shares in the new institution on a one-for-one basis when the merger is completed Oct. 1. This is the first merger among the big five Japanese banks since World War IL Dai-lchi was the first commercial bank to be established in Japan and would have attained its centennial in 1973. During the 1920s, Dai-lchi attained parity with the four Zaibatsu leaders: Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Yasuda.

In 1943, a merger with Mitsui formed the Imperial Bank, then the nation's largest, but the amalgamation was undone by Gen. Douglaa MacArthur's breakup of the Zaibatsu five years later. STEIGER Writtr Mayer Kerkorian had Tracy sell the 44 interest in International Leisure to Hilton. The agreement contained a proviso permitting Hilton to pick up the additional 6 this year, either through a tender offer to International Leisure's minority public shareholders or by a private purchase from Tracy and other insiders. The $6.48 price set for the private transaction i-the same price as that involved in the initial purchase last year was subject to upward adjustment depending on the level of International Leisure's audited earnings for 1970.

However, International Leisure's profits were disappointing last year, and Hilton is able to demand the minimum price from Tracy. The joint statement by Hilton and Tracy Thursday noted "it seems highly unlikely" that public shareholders of International Leisure would be willing to part with their stock at the $6.48 price, and hence, the statement said, there will be no pub-he tender offer. After the purchase on March 15 of the planned 383,750 International Leisure shares, Hilton will have just over half of the hotel-casino company's 6.6 million shares outstanding. Tracy will retain 2.4 million shares, or a bit under 6. Most of the re- mainder will be in public hands.

Soviet bloc nations. "In jraany parts of the United States random individual and organized groups haye often taken it upon themselves to obstruct all forms of economic intercourse with Communist Countries," Pisar says, recalling a remark by Nicholas Katzenbach, the former undersecretary of state that "their patriotism exceeds their understanding." Pisar says any effort to expand trade faces even, more 'serious hurdles for example, unrealistic guide- lines on which goods are strategic and which aren't. "This country defines strategic goods in a much broader fashion than our Western European or Japanese allies.

We should scale down the list so that certain types of computers, for example not the most advanced can be sold to Eastern countries; or; so railroad equipment can be exported to them." Guidelines on what is militarily useful can be woefully stretched, he says. "Khrushchev once maintained that it would be wonderful for the Russian war effort if we sold them buttons because if the Red army soldiers had buttons on their pants they could aim their rifles With two hands instead of one." Pisar also calls for granting "most favored-nation" status to Communist trading partners, so they'll be attracted to doing business with Amer ican companies by nondis LEASE 1969 CADILLACS Jl 3500.
