Still, few feel that Harold Wilson is about to lose his job. Though the Tories would certainly demand a censure vote, Wilson, with Labor's 80-plus seat majority, would almost as certainly win it. And unlike Attlee, who devalued in 1949 with only a few months of his term left, Wilson has until 1971 before he must call a general election. If devaluation at last begins to set Britain on the road to economic health, Wilson could go to the country by then with less trepidation...
...product, the British free port brought tourist dollars into Aden, and the British Petroleum Co. built the Federation's only significant industry-an oil refinery 25 miles from Aden. Even in the unlikely event that the British departure brings peace, it will throw at least 25% of the labor force out of work. And the new government will have to tackle the potentially disastrous job of changing a British-oriented wage structure that is inflated far beyond the country's means...
Died. Serafino Romualdi, 66, U.S. labor's man-in-Latin-America; of a heart attack; in Mexico City.

...variations of Zachry's technique. "This is going to be the trend of the future," says Manhattan Architect William Tabler, the busiest U.S. designer of hotels. "What Zachry is doing is wonderful. I'd be doing it too, if we could." Like most contractors, Tabler blames organized labor for preventing adoption of such cost-cutting methods, sometimes by the threat of tying up a job in jurisdictional disputes, sometimes through covert control of local building codes. In New York City, for instance, Electrical Workers Local 3 will install only light fixtures made by its own members...
