...across De Gaulle's aim of wooing Eastern Europe. France has been striving to oust EEC Commission President Walter Hallstein, a persistent foe of De Gaulle's narrow nationalist design for Europe. With the present nine-man EEC commission shortly due to be consolidated with the Coal and Steel Community and Euratom into a single 14-man executive body, the other five nations have concocted a deal to keep Hallstein on the job two years more. After that, the commission presidency would rotate as the French demand, allowing West German Hallstein to retire gracefully...
...made to bring the dogs back-all such matters remained a secret. Clearly the Russians were putting on the dogs to steal headlines from the Saturn IB launch, but beyond that Western experts were barely able to guess what was up with Veterok (Breeze) and Ugolyok (Little Lump of Coal). But they made an effort...
...Coal's resurgence, which played a big part in the sturdy growth of the entire Australian economy, is due to complete modernization of the industry. Last week Sir Edward Warren announced that his Coal & Allied Industries Ltd. would open a new mine in Cessnock, 80 miles north of Sydney; it will be worked with automatic equipment, including a U.S.-manufactured continuous miner, which is operated by three men, crunches coal seams with spinning metal teeth and can chew out ten tons a minute. Helped by government tax allowances, mine owners have so far spent $236 million on such...
...rising export trade made possible by new efficiencies has also created a need for big new coal harbors all along the Queensland and New South Wales coasts. At Port Kembla, for example, an $11 million facility loads ships at a 2,000-ton-an-hour rate, has cut loading time from four days to one. Cheaper coal makes Australia a competitive exporter, principally to Japan, which last year took 7,000,000 tons for steelmaking. U.S. coal still accounts for 48% of Japanese imports, but the Australian share has climbed to 30% and undersells U.S. coal...
Teachers' unions are also objectionable because teachers, unlike factory workers or coal miners, are working with human beings. The "things" they "produce," educated people, can be irrevocably damaged by protracted haggling. Mothers do not try to solve the problems of parenthood by striking; teachers, too, should look for other means. The most viable answer is to have the American Association of University Professors clearly outline the needed reforms at St. John's and, if necessary, impose sanctions to insure that they are carried out. There is presently a three-man team from the organization's national office--the AAUP chapter...
