Hon. Dean Rusk to Receive 12th
Annual Sylvanus Thayer Award
WEST POINT, N. Y.-Thei
Honorable Dean Rusk, former
Secretary of State, will receive
the 12th Annual Sylvanus
Thayer Award from the U. S.
Military Academy's Associa
tion of Graduates during cere
monies at West Point on May
15th.
The award is presented an
nually by the Association to an
outstanding citizen of the
United States whose service
in the national interest exem
plifies personal devotion to
the ideals expressed in the
motto of the U. S. Military.
Academy, "Duty, Honor,
Country".
The award was announced
by General Clyde D. Eddleman
(USA-Ret.), President of the
Association of Graduates. He
said that prior to the presenta
tion dinner in Washington HaH
(Cadet Dining Hall), Rusk will
be honored by a Review of the

Secretary of Labor
~ WASHINGTON - On-the
job training for 1,519 jobless
or underemployed persons in
Bight States has been approved
by Secretary of Labor George
P. Shultz under 13 contracts.
The study points out that
although output per man-hour
year productivity changes rnag
ed from a decline of 2.8 per
cent in 1958 to an increase of
about 10 percent in 1962.
Fluctuations in output ac
count for most of the changes
in productivity. The 1958 de
cline reflected a recession-in
duced production cutback of
more than 25 percent, while
the 1962 increase occurred
when output rose by over 25
percent after the 1961 reces
sion.
Output per man-hour for
production workers alone in
creased at an average of 4.5
percent annually. This measure
was both smaller and steadier
than the measures for all em
ployees, largely because pro
duction worker man-hours
tend to follow changes in out
put more closely than nonpro
duction worker man-hours.
