...would be avoided, an industry leader has already hinted that rubber prices are likely to go up as a result of expected increased labor costs of as much as 6%. More than 12,000 members of the Communications Workers of America have voted strike authorization to their negotiators with Western Electric Co., Inc., where their contract expired March 25. Talks have been held under day-to-day extensions. In strikes already under way in television and radio (see SHOW BUSINESS), at New York's Aqueduct Race Track (see SPORT), and by dairymen of the National Farmers Organization, there seemed...
...tian sections. In a conversation with a reporter for the New York Times, Prince Souvanna admitted that the Lao tian armed forces (composed of Royalists and neutralists) are too small and weak to interfere with this massive Red force. Even so, Laos does not want U.S. or any other Western help in the matter, "because this would mean more war for Laos, which has known little else since 1939." He said that all that Laos could do was already being done: daily bombing runs by the Laotian air force against traffic using the trail. What concerned the Premier more...
Final Accounts. Cranking up the Red Guards anew just to attack Liu Shao-chi seems an excess in itself. The best Western intelligence is that ever since October Liu has been President of China in name only, barred from all Politburo sessions and public affairs of state.

There are as many as 195 guests to greet, seat, serve ancj-within reason-sate, and the girls must perform like a whirlwind combination of Jean Shrimpton, Gwen Cafritz, a short-order cook and a nurse for all ages. One Western Air Lines time-motion expert, for instance, has figured out that on an 85-minute flight with 122 people aboard, a stewardess averages no more than 23 seconds with each passenger. Whereas TWA used to dangle its transcontinental flights before senior stewardesses as a lush reward for longevity, such runs...
...itself, socialism is viewed merely as a technical economic question of government ownership. "By reducing the term to a simple description of a way of organizing an economy," notes Michael Harrington, a democratic socialist, "the meaning that the socialist movement itself (gives) to its ideal (is radically narrowed). In Western European history and, above all, in the American socialist vision of Eugene Victor Debs, socialism stood for equality, solidarity, cooperation, and the fulfillment of democracy at least as much as for the nationalization of the means of production. (Such a view) confuses socialism, which was and is a democratic program...
