 Prospects for industrial devel- opment in Venezuela are tremen- dous," commented William O'Neil, president of The General Tire and Rubber Company of Akron, as he returned Thursday from the ded- ication ceremonies.
 "This South American country's undeveloped resources are now just as great as in the United States in 1830," he continued. 'As it's industry expands and di- versifies, it's market for all kinds of products will expand. In Ven ezuela, as well as in the rest of South America, there is tremen- dous opportunity for U.

 The new plant was officially opened June 17th. Venezuela's wering Standardization President, General Isaias Medina, dedicated the plant before crowd of several hundred. Other off, cials participating included: Will liam O'Neil, General Tire & Rub- Der Company president; Joseph Andreoli, vice president of The General Tire Export Company; Dr Alfredo Machado Hernandez, the Venezuelan company's first president who resigned to become Venezuela's minister of finance, and who originated the action to bring about this cooperative fac- tory; Dr Frank Corrigan, United States, minister to Venezuela; Dr. J.

 He would place retirement ct 55 years; abolish the Army's treas ured seniority rule altogether and make promotion dependent on merit; stop calling retired officers (of other and outmoded WarS) back into service.
