...soon as the strike was over. Piled up in warehouses were record steel inventories calculated to last two months or so (see BUSINESS). President Eisenhower said that he planned no drastic move to try to end the strike. "I believe." said he, "that we have got to thoroughly test out and to use the method of free bargaining," and when the Government starts pressuring, "then I believe it's not free." The "conditions are certainly not here at the moment," he added, for invoking the Taft-Hartley Act provision calling for a fact-finding board ("All the facts...
...Balint explains in Thrills and Regressions, published by London's Hogarth Press, his Greek polysyllables were devised after he had found, an earthy test for personality typing-how an individual reacts at an amusement park, or "fun-fair."
