It'll make the kid. It'll give him

once he knows he can go through

come pretty close to being the

The Chief chaseS about the
ring, gets up on his hind legs

When the performance is COM

entered into between Woodward g.
Lothrop Corp, the Building Service

lothian Association, from giving ef-
feet to any collective bargaining

the theory he was until recently q

Asking District Court to dismiss
the suit, Mr.. Elizalde through his

raises a political and not judicial
question and the court lacks juris-
diction; both parties are neither
citizens of the United States nor
aliens, but Of the Philippines, and
so their rights and interests are
