GENIAL GENIUS
Even Marines Blush
AT Praise for Boss
GENIAL GENIUS
By the Associated Press

Take it from the Marine
Corps, its new commandant is
a tactical and strategci genius
hard driving, brilliant
training expert -. possessed Of
seemingly boundleSs energy"
And on the human side, the
Corps says Gen. Wallace NJ,
Greene, jr., is thoughtful and
appreciative" and demonstrates
q fierce loyalty to seniors and
subordinates alike"
It's all there, in an official
profile" distributed to report
ers by a Marine information
officer. The seven-page doc
ument traces Gen. Greene's
career in sometimes ecstatic
language.
Answers to Questions
1t asks these questions and
then provides the answers:
What sort of man is this
officer who will guide the Ma
tons amphibious force-in-
readiness for the next four
years? What is he like at close
look?
Perhaps his most noted
characteristic is his tremen-
dous capacity for work He
often puts in q full 16-hour
day and requires only four
hours of sleep at night -.
Completely thorough in his
approach to problems. Gen.
Greene is mentally tough and
can make difficult deci-
sions
IAN avid reader, no subject
bores him. Few officers are as
well informed in all aspects Of
the military, political, indus
trial and cultural activities OF
this Nation"
A Prediction
Not stinting the adjectives,
the profile pictures Gen. Greene
as a trim, articulate, intellec-
tual officer"
And it peers into the future

them to continue in operation.
The two stores, both in vir-
ginia. are at Wilson boulevard
near Seven Corners, and at

of land occupied by the stores

amounts to mora than $4,000.
At the office Of Towers Marts

FLIGHT HERE FOR

man this morning. He cost
the company $500, Eastern
proudly announced.
Mr.. Lukashok flew into

Mr.. Lukashok the use Of

Mr.. Lukashok received
this special treatment be-
cause he was the 96th pas
senger who bought a ticket
on Eastern's regular 9 am.
shuttle flight out of La
Guardia Airport. The plane
only holds 95 passengers,
so a standby plane had to
be called up for Mr.. Luka-
shok to enable Eastern to
keep its promise Of guar
anteed service TO shuttle
passengers.

said he could recall only

on an extra flight for a
solitary passenger since the

The Need for Applying
Finite Accuracy Grows

than a postage stamp, today's
assembly line worker does.
Advanced defense systems,
space hardware and electronic
computers demand extreme ac-
curacy in their manufacture.
Often, according to Mr.. Wild
hack, new military contracts
are awarded even though the
Government and industry
know full well that no means
are yet available TO meet the
exacting degree & accuracy
they will require.
The science Of measurement,
of course, has not been stand
ing still. I'VE are trying to
keep up" says Mr.. Wildhack,
but the needs of industry are
extremely diffuse and hard to
find"
Great Strides Made
Great strides, nevertheless,
hav been made In mans
ability to measure, particularly
since the rise of the Sow t
space challenge.
Industry can, for example,
measure the temperature Of a
Jet engine to within q few
degrees of accuracy.
1t can measure the thickness
of a film to 0.000G0Ui 20 ten n
of million) Of an inch.
1t can accurately weigh
items, or measure the thrust
of a rocket engine, up to about
100, 900 pounds.
1t can build q clock that
will gain or lose only one
second every 1000 years.
These advances Ia determin-
ing temperature, time, length
and mass, the four basic meas
urements, are striking, but not
good enough to meet present
and future industrial demands.
Measuring the 1000 degr 4e

the engine to fall apart seems

Despite progress in the
high : temperature measure
ment field, electric power COM
panies still waste millions Of
dollars worth Of fuel and power
because they cannot accurately
determine the heat of their
