...pressure of the past seven months? "I haven't noticed any marked difference with him in the last year," replied the same junior faculty member. "He has been able to respond warmly and kindly to human beings who relate to him that way. He's not provocative in general except when provoked. Even under severe pressure his ability to retain emotional control is fantastic...
Died. Robert E. Wood, 90, soldier turned merchant king, who built Sears, Roebuck and Co. into the world's largest merchandising concern; in Lake Forest, Ill. A West Pointer (1900) who rose to brigadier general, Wood had one motto: "Let's charge!" And charge he did soon after he joined Sears as a vice president in 1924. Within four years he was president, and what was previously a rural mail-order house swiftly expanded into retail stores, insurance and financing. One of Wood's wisest moves was pioneering an employee profit-sharing plan that now owns...
Died. Thurman W. Arnold, 78, eminent Washington lawyer and onetime New Deal trustbuster; of a heart attack; in Alexandria, Va.

As for the I.C.C.C., Mclntire's political attitudes and imperious ways have proved so embarrassing to missions that an estimated 1,900 of some 2,000 missionary members have withdrawn...
STRIKES. The current walkout by 147,000 General Electric workers is only a foretaste of the acrimonious labor struggles that loom in the immediate future. Next year will be clotted with labor negotiations. Contracts covering some 4,000,000 workers in such basic industries as railroads, trucking, autos, construction, rubber and meat packing will expire in 1970. Unionists will press strongly for wage gains to keep ahead of inflation. Caught in a profit squeeze, management is likely to resist with equal vigor...
