The Marine Corps recruit

Mai. Gen. Wallace M. Greene,

their three-day convention.
Referring to the drowning OF
seven recruits on q night hike
through Ribbon Greek at Paris
Island. 8. c.. on the orders OF
Drill Instructor Matthew Nc
Keon, Gen. Greene said:
"Out Of the cauldron Of the
McKeon affair has come a
tougher and better recruit de-
pot. Recruit training has re-
tanned all Of the desirable fea-
lures Of longtime Marine Corps
tradition. To these have been
added improvements. such as
the finest physical training pro-
gram In the country and In
creased emphasis on combat

accordingly. steel contracts
were being extended two weeks.
Earlier. the steel industry
had turned down o two-week
extension proposal from the
union because the union
wanted assurance that negoti-
ated benefits would be retro
active.
The steel labor situation had
been fouled up for several days
in argument of how to proceed.
Mr.. Mcdonald said further
talks with the industry team
seemed futile and proposed
direct bargaining with the
heads of the Nations top
dozen steel Arms.
The executives gave a nat re-
lection. saying the industry
bargaining team headed by Mr.
Cooper had their. full conf
dence and support. Mr.. Nc
| Donald then said he would re-
sumo bargaining with the
Cooper group provided 1t was
ready TO discuss contract gains
Mr.. Cooper replied he was pro-
missing nothing.
Thus Mr.. Eisenhower's inter-
vention cleared up a badly
clouded situation and seemed
to point the way to a more
orderly resumption Of negotia-
tions with a strike threat de-

Post once Department ofiicial
said today.
Assistant Postmaster Gen.

some new steps are necessary

ice to many new communities.
He said that from It's studies
the Post ONCE Department has
concluded that the necessary

could be realized by consolidate
ing the shipment Of mail. ex-
press and small size packages
or small shipments of freight

every year there always Is I'M
certainty, business psychology
always is conservative.
A second reason is that the
experts can't see any special
spark that will soon set the
fires under an about boom
again. They can't see 1t coming
from q major rise In Govern
ment spending beyond what al
ready is anticipated. They can't
see 1t coming In the immediate
future from autos or home
building. They can't see 1t COM
ing from expanded exports. Nor
do they see IN imminent re-
vival in spending by business
men for new plants and equip
ment, q sudden renewed buying
spree by us, Americas con-
sumers.
A third reason is the nagging
worry about initiation and won
der about what sort Of sQueezes
this might lead to as 1869 gets
older.
The fourth reason, though. is
the fundamental one-the fact
that even at this stage of
the advance. unemployment re-
mains millions above a reason
able minimum. And the causes
for the high level Of joblessness
now are basic. There's no
chance that the jobless rate

The snapback has its spec
