Tokyo: Amelia Earhart
WOODCOCK emphasized, "We do not abandon our retired pensioners. Our retirement would get an increase of $1 per month in their pensions."
Even if the workers vote to ratify the agreement, GM has said it probably would be unable to get back into production before it became possible to contingent on a speedy settlement of unresolved local issues.
Woodcock said he would not take the pattern-setting agreement to the other members and allow the Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp.-until after it is ratified by the GM workers.

Zumwalt said he has issued 57 "humanizing" orders, called "Z-grams," since he became chief in July.

DRAFT WOMEN?
No, we're not advocating that. But it does seem that because there is no "draft pressure" on the fair sex, many young women never give a thought to the Air Force after graduation from college. And that's a shame, because Women in the Air Force have many of the same kinds of jobs, as much responsibility, equal rank and opportunity, and the same pay as the men. And now college women can enroll in Air Force ROTC, too, and be eligible for all benefits offered by the program. Upon commissioning, a second lieutenant can be assigned to any of dozens of interesting and important jobs suited to his or her education and interests, with opportunities for travel and responsibility that would be hard to find in most other fields. Sound interesting? Then why not take a few minutes to find out more about the new opportunity for women in the Air Force ROTC?
