New East-West Bitterness Could Effect U.S. Economy By SAM DAWSON 1 AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP)-The new bitterness between the United States and the Soviet Union could affect the American economy both in its domestic business and in its foreign trade. And businessmen today are trying to pinpoint what the effects will be.

Stock traders are having trouble deciding just what the Paris blowup will do to American spending for defense or, specifically, just which companies might get larger government orders or supply those that do. Exporters and importers been watching closely the increase in trade between the United States and the Iron Curtain countries that followed some lowering of barriers by both sides. Trade Barriers The trade--while still but a small part of our total foreign commerce--gained notably in the first three months of this year. The barriers, however, could go up quickly again. And the Communist nations have been giving Americans and others increased competition various segments of world trade.

An example is the steadily increasing flow of oil and its produets from behind the Iron Curtain and help given some underdeveloped nations in building their own oil refineries-presumably to use Sovet oil.

On NBC Tonight By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP TV-Radio Writer NEW YORK (AP)-One off-beat demonstration of the power of is the fact that there are, a lot of girls named Siobhan in the United States.

And that almost everybody knows how to pronounce it: Shiv-awn (with the accent on the second syllable.) It is, in fact, an ancient Gaelic name meaning White Spirit, and was imported to these shores by a Dublin actress named McKenna. Siobhan McKenna, however, is a performer whose career recognizes no geographic limitations and so it may next pop up in Spain. "It is very flattering," she says about the prevalence of She lives--and often performs -in Dublin. She has become mous on the London and Broadway stage. She does several shows a year here, an occasional movie, and when she finishes "The Woman in White" on NBC's Hour of Great Mysteries tonight, she's off for a film in Spain.

Miss McKenna actually has by co-star Walter Slezak's standards, done many television shows in this country, but she has rave notices for each one-particularly "'The Letter," in which she pulled out her British accent, and two versions of "Cradle Song," in which soft Irish brogue was strained. "I like to play many roles," says, "because I act in Irish form. The Irish form is be the character and 1 get terribly tired of being character all the time. But at most I don't want to do than four plays a year." Greenwich Village Flat Although Dublin is where home--and husband and son--are, Miss McKenna's American reer brings her to New York enough to make a permanent tree worthwhile. She has a apartment in Greenwich village.

Back home with her son, speak Gaelic. Speech is more a hobby with her. "The English speak fast chipped," she said, "and mouths form words "The Americans and Irish slower and use their mouths I took lessons and got ar )can accent to play in one but the producer wouldn't let use it -he said it was perfect, noticeable and diverting from me."

Set Prices Soviets can undersell American' oil companies at will, because the Communist can set prices-even at a loss -to suit propaganda or foreign policy aims. American companies have to charge enough to break even and a little more, or the stockholders complain.

Tourist agencies, steamship lines and airlines are also watching developments. Tourist has spurted, with large numbers of Americans scheduled to visit the Soviet Union this summer. An Associated Press spot check shows cancellations so far, but considerable uneasiness about what trend the relations between the two countries may take. Eventual Effect The eventual effect on American defense spending will be the biggest item, if changes are triggered by the President's experience in Paris. But this decision is linked both with domestic politics and international obligations.

The small but growing trade with the Communists is more immediate concern. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that in the first three months of this year Washington granted licenses for 351 million dollars worth of American goods to go to Communist Europe. This year's export figures compares with million dollars in the first quarter of 1959, and with million in the final three months of last year. unre- she the to would one the her often roofsmall they; than and their speak more.
