...which has a format and circulation in the U.S.S.R. roughly comparable to that of Life in the U.S.A., published an article entitled "We Visit Them; They Visit Us." It describes the reciprocal tours of student and youth groups which were among the activities provided for by the cultural exchange agreement between the American and Soviet Governments concluded in January, 1958. The first such exchange in the spring of 1958 consisted of small parties of student newspaper editors.

But Dave McDonald, who this week opens negotiations with steelmakers for contracts to replace those expiring June 30, predicted that his 1,250,000-member U.S.A. will take home "an even greater agreement" than it won in 1956 after a five-week strike.
