“Participants in a consultative process see reality
from different points of view, and as these
views are examined and understood, clarity is
achieved. in this conception of the collective investigation of
reality, truth is not a compromise between opposing interest ,_
groups. Nor does the desire to exercise power over one another
animate participants in the consultative process. What they (

Commander Sherrill presented the Army-Navy
H. Kreienbaum, representing management,
and W. S. Rawding, president of Local 38,
I.W.A. (0.1.0.), representing employees.
In his speech following acceptance of the
pennant, Kreienbaum said that since all of

president Lt. Commander Bill Reed, were

have little meaning. We all have sons or daughters
or friends in the service of our country. I think we
know the job we have to perform. Commander Sher-
rill, your military commanders can continue their
faith in our organization.,We know our responsibil—
ity. We will continue to do our duty. We. are anxious
that our every energy be felt in the great effort to
