...Dunlop will have high-level help. The COLC will be advised by an elite committee of five union chiefs and five leaders of blue-ribbon corporations. Crusty AFL-CIO President Meany, who stormed off the Pay Board a year ago, has agreed to serve on the committee. So have Steelworkers President I.W. Abel, Teamsters President Frank Fitzsimmons, Seafarers President Paul Hall and UAW Chief Leonard Woodcock. The business members are Stephen Bechtel Jr., president of Bechtel Corp., a huge engineering and construction firm; Edward Carter, chairman of the Broadway-Hale department-store chain; R. Heath Larry, vice chairman...
WHEN Harvard students stormed the faculty club to protest the invasion of Cambodia in 1970, one of the members bothered by the ruckus was John T. Dunlop, who was dining with his wife Dorothy. Whatever his feelings about the military action halfway round the world, "Tiger" Dunlop was not amused by the student action on campus. Assured by a waiter that the protesters were being chased out by the club's manager, the burly Dunlop growled: "Does he need any help...
President Nixon's choice as boss of Phase III is anything but a mild-mannered Mr. Chips. As dean of Harvard's 2,000-member faculty of arts and sciences, Dunlop customarily opened meetings by saying, "Let's get it all on the table."

He has endured countless mediation sessions and has written seven books on labor-management problems. The co-author of his latest book, Labor and the American Community, is his close friend Derek...
Though he had harsh words for Nixon's early handling of labor problems in the construction trades, Dunlop was picked by the President to head a tripartite panel formed by the Administration early in 1971 to hammer down the grossly inflationary settlements that then prevailed in the building industry. He cannily persuaded union leaders that by exercising restraint, they could win back power from increasingly militant local leaders-and win back jobs for union members, who had been losing them to lower-paid, unorganized workers. He has been frequently criticized for running a secret, autocratic outfit, but the results...
...past success, Dunlop knows that the job of running Phase III will be tougher. "The opportunity to help work on these problems cooperatively with labor, management and Government at this time is to be concerned with issues that no Western society has handled well," he wrote in his letter of resignation from his Harvard deanship. "But if over the next decade or two we are to have a little less inflation, a little lower level of unemployment, a little less industrial strife, then it is essential to develop the knowledge, the experience and the institutions to deal with this complex...
