With the same enthusiasm that they had once devoted to demonstrating against the British, Burma's new bosses set about achieving U Nu's dream. They adopted a $1.6 billion economic development scheme, drew up ambitious plans for a steel mill, textile industry, housing developments and hundreds of other state-operated projects. But somehow, through inexperience and the complicated task of coping simultaneously with half a dozen rebellions, they failed to achieve most of their targets.

Clinton E. Jencks, Southwestern official of the Red-led Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers, would probably be surprised if anyone seriously accused him of being a nonCommunist.

...Howard Haggard showed that in-plant meals cut down afternoon fatigue and help speed production. Workers who once took an hour for lunch outside can eat in half an hour inside, get off earlier at day's end. Many companies report other benefits. One Indiana steel mill said that five nearby saloons had to shut down after it opened a good cafeteria, while the Prudential Insurance Co. found that nutritional deficiencies among its office help-especially young girl workers, who leaned heavily on soda-and-cruller lunches-have almost disappeared.

As always, there is room at the top for an enterprising young...
