Decision in Detroit President Walter Reuther of the C.I.O. United Automobile Workers won last week what he called-with good reason-a "very historic" victory.

Certain units in the armed forces use this need to build heroic groups of which each member is a passionate unit. The kid gang protects its own and each member protects the gang. The family was once a thing like that. The kid gangs do dreadful things but the dreadful things require...
...college and accepted by the unit, a boy can sign up as one of the 2,000 "contract" students who receive no pay except on summer cruises. The "regulars" in the N.R.O.T.C. must serve three years on active duty, after being commissioned, while "contract" students serve two, with the usual reserve time...
