...probes farther into airless space, he is met by an environment full of lethal radiation and extremes of temperature. For Los Angeles' Garrett Corp., the hostility of space is an industrial bonanza. Since it pressurized the cabins of World War II's high-flying B-29 bombers, Garrett has become the U.S.'s foremost specialist in keeping men alive in the yonder beyond their familiar surroundings. Garrett supplies oxygen gear for the Mercury astronauts, and is designing the breathing systems and environmental controls that will see U.S. Apollo crewmen to the moon...
Last week's ruling was the work of Sylvester Garrett, 50, a Pittsburgh lawyer who earned his reputation as an arbitrator in steel industry disputes and was appointed three weeks ago by President Kennedy to end a month-long telegraphers' strike against the C. & N.W. (The other two members of the arbitration board-C. & N.W. Chairman Ben Heineman and Telegraphers' President George Leighty-canceled each other out.) The essence of Garrett's decision was that al though the C. & N.W. must discuss proposed layoffs with the union, the final decision would be the railroad...
...telegraphers. A year ago, Leighty's union extracted from the giant Southern Pacific a virtual guarantee to keep on all its telegraphers until their death or retirement and, with that encouragement, the telegraphers have since demanded a veto over job cutbacks on 33 other railroads.

More important yet, last week's ruling will weaken the hand of all rail unions in their fight to defy the recommendations of the presidential board, which...
...Chief George E. Leighty would yield on the strike's key question: the union's demand for the right to veto future job cutbacks. This and other unresolved issues will be submitted to binding arbitration this week by a three-man team (Heineman, Leighty and Lawyer Sylvester Garrett, chairman of the U.S. Steel-Steelworkers' arbitration board). The arbitrators will probably hew to a policy recommended by an Administration fact-finding board last June. It proposed union-management consultation on payroll cutbacks, came out against a union veto, but urged adequate compensation for discharged employees (to which...
...share of world auto sales outside the U.S. In space, the giant automaker's AC Spark Plug division won a $16 million contract to build the guidance system for the Apollo moonship. And good as all this was, General Motors' precise, silver-haired Chairman Frederic Garrett Donner, 59, was expecting even better. To a blue-ribbon business audience at New York's Waldorf-Astoria, he calmly predicted that in the next two years "an expanding economy will bring sales to an even higher level...
