...further into a Commonwealth that is deteriorating. Yet Wilson learned in Bonn that the job of getting in is going to be much tougher than he expected. While publicly endorsing British entry with polite correctness, the Germans do not intend to jeopardize their own relationship with De Gaulle by exerting any special pressure on Britain's behalf. Chancellor Kiesinger promised at week's end that he would outline Wilson's arguments to De Gaulle when he meets him this spring, but added: "We have no pressure to exert on France. We would have neither the means...
...GBHC hospital even carried out a ten cent raise. "This is to make the workers think their bosses are such a bunch of nice guys that there's no need for a union," Raudenbush said. He attributed the raise entirely to the pressure that the drive was beginning to exert in that hospital. There would be more raises when they really got organized, Raudenbush explained to the workers...
...clubs are privately-owned, and the University has no real financial control over them. That is again the club rhetoric. Actually, the University is not neutral at all. It could exert a great deal of control over Bicker. Right now it provides financial aid for clubs with money trouble, uses its offices for Bicker registration, oversees the Gentleman's Agreement, and gives scholarship aid to club men even though their board costs twice as much as an Independent...
Setting out his thesis in the current issue of Astronautics and Aeronautics, Aeronautical Engineer Homer Stewart suggests that the gravity of other planets represents a still-untapped source of energy for long-range space flights. Jupiter's gravity, for example, would exert a tremendous pull on a passing spacecraft, accelerating it greatly and deflecting its course. Thus Jovian gravity could be used, in effect, to gain both thrust and a mid-course correction without the expenditure of fuel. Space scientists, like expert billiard players, can precisely determine the amount of acceleration and degree of deflection by careful control...
Last week the long-run feud between Walter Reuther, boss of the United Auto Workers, and George Meany, president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. (TIME, Dec. 2), escalated to a new peak of bitterness when Reuther announced that the U.A.W. had decided "to exert our independence" of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. on is sues of its choosing. Reuther showed some of that independence by withholding from the A.F.L.-C.I.O. $232,000 in auto workers' dues for two months, finally paying an installment of half the amount last week. Though few in the labor movement believe that Reuther will pull...
