PARIS, April 24 (P)—The North
Atlantic Treaty Council . voted a
whooping military equipment pro
gram today ••, at the same hour
that the West German upper
house dealt the whole defense
buildup a shaking blow.
Spurred by Secretary of State
Dulles and other members of the
U.S. delegation, the ministers of
the NATO countries first declared
in a formal resolution that the six
nation European Army Treaty
must be ratified as the best means
of bringing German troops into
Western defense.
Then it voted a four-year, 885
million dollar budget to build air
ports, a• radar warning system and
other installations, and to enlarge
supply ports.
Secretary Dulles told a news
conference last ' night that he
couldn't predict rich aid appropri
ations from the • American Con
gress unless real progress could
be shown toward ratification of
the treaty by June 30.
Of the 885 million dollars, 185
million went for projects asked
last December by 'Gen.- Matthew
B. Ridgway, the supreme com
mander in Europe, but which were
temporarily held up. The balance
went for new projects expected to
be ready by the end of 1956.

ing, completing the 100 quota for
Saturday.
All came back to the assurance
of adequate care and comfort in
hospitals or in their family homes
as the needs 'may require. This
was in contrast to the crude and
often skimpy care which earlier
repatriates had said was given in
Red hospitals and stockades.
While the return of 100. men to
day completes the over-all quota
the Reds originally pledged, there
was every hope that the flow of
Allied wounded would continue to
stream across the line here in this
tiny truce village of Panmunjom.
Both sides have said they would
return more disabled captives
than first promised.
Full-scale armistice negotiations
resume here Sunday for the first

Another 38 Allied repatriates
were flown from Korea to Japan
today. in a big C 124 Globemaster
transport plane.
MY QUESTION TO THE G-E STUDENT INFORMATION PANEL:
The answer to this question, presented at a student information
meeting held in July, 1952 between G-E personnel and representative
college students, is printed below. If you have a question you would
like answered, or seek further information about General. Electric,
mail your request to College Editor, Dept. 123-2, General Electric Co.,

200,000 different products rang
ing from heavy industrial equipment to precision instruments
and consumers' goods.
The cost of manufacturing our products represents 70., of
the total expenditure for all operations including research,
engineering, marketing and other administrative functions.
'With these activities and expenditures in the field of manu
facturing one can readily visualize the breadth of opportunity
in the area of manufacturing. This wide scope of manufacturing
activities and the importance of their integration into an effec
tive organization provide opportunity for challenging and
rewarding careers in such areas as follows:
Manufacturing Supervision: The most important part of any
manufacturing organization is men—those who apply their
varied skills. and talents to perform the many tasks involved
in the manufacturing process. To direct the activities of these
men, to inspire performance, co-operation and teamwork, to
provide fair and equitable treatment, to see that work is done
in required quantity—on time—and at the lowest possible cost,
is the responsibility of Manufacturing Supervision. It offers a
challenging and satisfying career for individual growth and
development.
Eisenhower Intervenes

Senate filibuster against the bill
to establish state ownership of

Calling for prompt passage of
the bill, he said he is "deeply con
cerned" about the delay caused by
the 17-day debate. He said it is

MacArthur Criticizes
Far East Strategy
WASHINGTON, .'tpril 24 (if.)—
Gen. Douglas MacArthur whipped
up a new wave of debate on Far
East strategy today by declaring
the Korean war and all other
global issues could be *settled
promptly by notifying the Chi
nese Reds that their bases and
supply lines would 'be destroyed.
Initial reaction from senators
ranged from lukewarm to cold,
but Rep. Van Zandt (R.-Pa.) de
clared MacArthur "is absolute
ly right" and called for use of
atomic bombs on strategic targets
in North China and Manchuria.
New Coid War Surprise

Manufacturing Engineering: This is the creative portion of
modern manufacturing. It involves interpretation of initial
product designs into good manufacturing practices through
planning the methods by which a product will be manufactured,
specifying and designing machine tools and equipment, and
planning and develOping new processes. It is vitally concerned
with such subjects as plant layout, materials handling, operation
planning, and quality control. It requires a thorough knowledge
and broad understanding of how these subjects influence the
manufacture of a product.
Purchasing: General Electric is one of the most diversified
purchasers in the country today, buying material from every
industry. Much of this purchasing involves technical problems,
and requires a knowledge of sources of supply, market trends,
and new products. Many items purchased are components or
finished, products of other technical industries. Constant contact
with price, as well as evaluation of current and long-range raw
material supply situations, is another phase of this activity. It
is becoming more - and more important as a career opportunity
for young men.
In addition to the above described areas of opportunity in
manufacturing, such manufacturing services as wage-rate de
termination, production control, inventory management, produc
tion planning and development, and materials handling offer
opportunity for highly trained specialization and for competent
management supervision.
These areas of manufacturing, together with many others,
offer the college graduate of today a wealth of opportunity
for a challenging and rewarding career.

Lewis Proposes
Repeal of Labor
Relations Laws
WASHINGTON, April 24 (II)
John L. Lewis today proposed that
Congress repeal all labor rela
tions laws of the past 21 years but
Sen. Ta f t (R-Ohio) questioned
whether it might result in return
ing labor relations to "the law of
the jungle."
Taft, the Senate Majority Lead
er, and Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers Union, en
gaged in a brief, but lively clash
at a Senate Labor Committee
hearing into proposals to change
the Taft-Hartley Act.
Taft said he generally favored
the idea of getting the govern
ment out of the labor relations
arena, but it had proved impos-
sible in 1947 when the Taft-Hart
ley Act was p a s.s ed, and he
wondered whether the time had
yet arrived.
The Ohio senator said it might
be all right for the big unions, but
perhaps some of the smaller un
ions still needed legal protection.
Lewis replied that the "realm of
controversy" over the Taft-Hart
ley law was so acute it would be
best to "eliminate the contro
versy" by repealing the law.
