He then proceeded with the business of the meeting by announcing a quorum present, in person or by proxy. It was voted to dispense with the calling of the roll: also to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the previous annual meet ing, as the minutes had been printed and circulated to the membership.

Mr. Pyle expressed the Council's apprecia tion for this recognition by the Boy Scouts and in turn expressed the Council's gratitude for the vigorous support which the Boy Scouts have given to safety over a period of many years. Mr. Pyle then introduced Walter K. Koch, retiring Vice President for State and Local Safety Organizations, whose address "Organized Safety's Front-Line Fighters" is included as a part of these Transactions, on following pages. A report by G. C. Stewart, Executive Vice President, and the President's address given by Mr. Pyle, are also included as a part of these Transactions, on following pages. R. L. Forney Secretary 19 960^ifational Safety Congress ORGANIZING SAFETY'S FRONT-LINE FIGHTERS By WALTER K. KOCH President, Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co., Denver, Colo, and Retiring Vice President for State and Local Safety Organizations, National Safety Council Almost exactly two months ago today. one of the most fascinating ball games in history was bong played. The field was a seemingly-limitless ex panse of broad Pacific Ocean 300 miles off Hawaii. The catcher was a Cl 19 Flying Boxcar of the United States Air Force. The catcher's mitt was a pair of 38-foot steel poles with rope strung between them. And the ball was a 300-pound capsule ejected in space by an orbiting Discoverer satellite. The fight is a double-barreled one. First, we must see that safety organiza tions exist wherever there are accidents and safety problems--and this we all know is in every one of our 50 states and in every community within those 50 states. Of course, we are willing to limit the organ ization of community councils to those cities of sufficient size to be able to support them, but even this compromise with reality leaves us an Everest-sized challenge. The score in this contest is, of course, now history. The capsule was indeed snared in the glove of steel and rope, and the first mid-air catch of an object returning from space had been made This was the climax of months of effort by a team operating on many fronts--in the laboratory as well as in the cockpit; at monitoring posts and at administrative desks from Hawaii to Washington. The catch was a triumph of organization, and die key men in this organization were the crew of the Flying Boxcar. They were the front-line fighters. Their work spelled the difference between success and failure in a vital experiment In this sensational feat of the space age, there is, I think, an important reminder to those of as in the safety movement It is the reminder that adequate and effective organization must exist at all levels if suc cess is to be ours. Further, it is a reminder that the key part of any organization is the front-line fighter. The front-line fighter for safety is found in our state and local councils. It is at the local level that our goals can be achieved or our efforts nullified. After all, our national safety problem is merely the sum total of all the local safety problems that exist across this broad land Accidents happen where people lire, and this ample fact un derlies the importance of strong state and community councils--organizations that can fight the safety problem in the front lines. I believe it was Plato who pointed out that "the beginning is the most important part of the book." And surely the physical existence of state and local organizations is the very necessary beginning of our job. After formation of these groups, however, there remains the essential and sometimes much more difficult task of being certain that these local organizations are effective. This is the second barrel of our organiza tion job--helping local organizations to per form effectively. This has been the challenge to the Na tional Safety Council in tile four years that I have had the genuine pleasure of serving as the Vice President for State and Local Organizations. These years have been busy ones, and I believe truly profitable ones, too. During them, our front-line organiza tion has expanded rapidly and its perform ance has steadily unproved Today, as indicated on this map of "State wide citizen safety organizations," 35 states have some form of citizen organization mobilized to battle accidents. Twenty-four of these organizations are fully staffed Eleven others operate with part-time staffs. Supplementing the state organizations are many community associations that work locally to develop citizens who are informed safety-minded and willing to support sound measures for safety improvement An im portant number of these local groups are spotted on this second map showing "Met ropolitan citizen safety organization." 20 i / \r 1960 National Safety Congress If you will mentally superimpose this second map over the first, you will have an idea of the extent to which we are pres ently organized for accident prevention at the state and local levels. Even, then, however, only a part of the story has been told. Communities of less than 100,000 population are not shown on this map, nor are communities over that size having only part-time staffs. All of must be added in to complete the picture, which is an impressive one. Our population coverage is excellent. Most Americans live in areas served by some kind of safety organization. To reach this present coverage, we've done considerable growing in the past four years. Nine new statewide groups were formed, and two additional state councils undertook major reorganizations. Ten new community councils were created, and five others--including the Greater Xew York Safety Council--have effected fundamental self-improvements. The increased impact on the accident problem cannot fail to make itself felt, but, as I mentioned a while ago, sheer numbers of councils are not the whole answer to our organization problems. Here our second job comes in--the con tinuing task of helping local groups do their work effectively. Our work in this area has been described by some dvic leaders as the most important work ever undertaken by the National Safety Coundl. This importance has its roots in several factors. One of these is the history of organized safety which is full of the scat tered bones of "quickie" safety councils that lived just about as long as the few hours it took to establish them. Unfortu nately, the memory of these hasty efforts lingers in a communin' and often handi caps efforts to set up a soundly-concdved organization. A second factor is the longrecognized need for the recruitment of more top community leadership and for adequate financing. Several years ago, these factor? were recognized as a major problem by the Na tional Coundl's Board of Directors. A com mittee under the chairmanship of William H. Lowe made an intensive study into the problem. The committee's conclusion, reached in 1957, stated the problem forthrightly. Among the things it told us were these: I. The greatest deterrent to successful fund raising for state and local safety organizations is the lack of business confi dence in them. 2 The present system of National Safety Council chapters does not enjoy the confi dence of leadership most interested and able to support it 3. To get business confidence, endorse ment by the National Safety Coundl must mean something. 4. Standards of performance must be established. 5. Endorsement by National Safety Coun dl should be based on regular program audits. These conclusions led to the establishment of an intensive improvement effort now known as the inventory and appraisal pro gram. At the~Start, the scope of this pro gram induded requirements for: a. establishing poliries and criteria b. helping with on-the-ground program audits c. evaluating and accrediting, for business and other support, those organizations that met established standards d. and, finally, providing help not only to those groups who did not fully meet these standards but to all organizations in the continuing process of self-im provement With these jobs before us, we went to work. Necessary publications were prepared and approved as guides. This was Step 1--es tablishing policies and criteria. As for helping with the audits, Step 2 --National Safety Council field men spend an average of six days working with each of the councils putting the necessary infor mation together. This information is evaluated by a com mittee of the conference of state and local safety organizations, and finally acted on by the National Safety Coundl Board of Directors. These councils which meet the standards are then accredited. This is Step 3. Let me say here that not all organizations have been accredited and that it-has been necessary to withdraw some of our charters.

In order to provide active help to safety organizations everywhere, the National Safety Council Board of Directors has established a committee on state and local National Safety Council INVENTORY AND APPRAISAL PROGRAM of State and Local Citizen Safety Organizations Map 3 Thirteen state and 65 local organizations hate been definitely recommended for sup port, and the remainder are in various stages of the process. You can get a visual impression of this program's scope from this "inventory and appraisal" map. Perhaps the most impressive point of all is that some 1,500 staff recommendations for improvement have been made to state and local councils for strengthening their opera tions. Reports to date show that approxi mately 1,000 of these already have been put into effect, and most of the remainder are being implemented as long-range projects. A system of annual follow-up surveys is being worked out. This will be a continuing safety organizations which I have had the honor of serving as chairman. The committee's purpose is to assist the conference of state and local safety organ ization and the staff is strengthening these state and metropolitan groups. It has access to the entire enlarged board for assistance in specific areas. I cannot leave this description of the in ventory and appraisal program without pay ing tribute to the members who took part This was a thorough-going self-appraisal accomplished only by a great deal of hard work by the council managers and their officers. "Knowing thyself," as Cervantes said, "is the most difficult lesson in the world." 23 1960 National Safety Congress Everyone agrees, I believe, that the re sults have been worth the effort One indi cation of this is that the national staff tells me there is an increasing number of in quiries from businessmen asking whether they should contribute to specific safety councils. This brief look backward has, I hope, illustrated how we got to our present point -------- in history. Now the future lies in front o.ff u__s_ . TIt. is a new fi*ut.ure to *be sure, and* yet I believe 3'ou will join me in feeling that the challenges to safety organization in this future are not new. They are; basically, the same that have confronted us in the past: First, to expand the number of state and local organizations; Second, to help these organizations, in every way possible, In making their work efficient and effective. The first of these challenges is shown graphically in our last map, "Target areas." The diagonal band running across the na staffed groups. Our challenge is to remove that diagonal stripe and those stars from the map. Our second challenge ahead is the con tinuing need for self-improvement. It seems obvious that the inventory and appraisal program must continue permanently. If there is any temptation to tell ourselves after a few years that these appraisals are time- consuming and too much trouble, we may -- - - ----- -- be in danger of washing out all that has been done Abandoning the appraisals would mean backsliding to the place where we were years ago. I make these observations about the fu ture keenly conscious that someone else will have the responsibility for organizing our frontline fighters in the future. I say this with a sincere note of sadness, for the past four years in the safety movement have been profitable and pleasant ones for me. I wish you much success in the future. 1 know your efforts are bound to succeed, for you have a magnificent humanitarian cause Map 4 * tion indicates states in which there are no --the cause of helping Americans every statewide citizen organizations.

STEWART Executive Vice President, National Safety Council My report on the affairs of your Council is contained in two written documents and in my remarks here. The first of the written reports is the Council's "Report to the Nation." It is gen eral in nature, written in non-technical language and designed to inform the public of what your Council is doing to protect people against accidents where they live, where they work, where they play and as they travel. I commend it to your attention. The second of the written reports con sists of a somewhat detailed accounting of the activities which are carried on jointly by our conferences and the Council staff. The term conference-staff team is, believe, a good descriptive term of these joint ef forts. I urge that each of you read those sections of this report covering the confer ences that are of major interest to you. Copies may be obtained from the secretaries of the conference. In this, my only opportunity of the year to speak directly to you, I would like to tell you of some of your Council's problems 2 some of its achievements. ince there is to be no formal financial _ >rt this morning, let me just say some thing on our financial situation. Your Council spends all of its income to carry on the work of the Council. It does not wait until funds are in the bank before initiating needed work. It does attempt to hold expenses within anticipated income. I bdieve that this is the way you want us to operate. Our situation for the first nine months of this year-- Income--$4,108,000, expenses--$4,168,000 (highest in Council history); excess of ex penses over income--$60,000. If income for the remainder of the year holds up at the rate of the first nine months, expenses and income will be in balance for the year. If economic conditions in the country adversely affect Council income, there may be a deficit One problem of long standing is that of presenting to our members, our friends and the public a clear and accurate picture of what the National Safety Council is and how it functions. In conversations and in letters, I have found that one nr mnri> of the following pictures of the Council are held by too many people. They think the Council-- Is a branch of the federal government Has legislative authority and police powers Is financed by public funds Works only on holiday week end trafiic deaths Is a tool of big business Will permit its name to be used to pro mote special interests in return for financial assistance. I am sure that you will agree that such conceptions retard the safety movement and hurt the efforts of the Council. Your help is needed in this matter--and in order that we may all have the same picture, let's briefly review the facts. First, why is there a National Safety Council? Accidents cause suffering, hardship, eco nomic and social losses and impair produc tivity. The prevention of accidents is there fore in the national interest. The prevention of accidents requires the intelligent efforts of individuals, groups, gov ernment, business, industry and other types of organizations. These individuals and groups require the services of one organ ization devoted solely to accident prevention; an organization where data on accidents is collected, collated and disseminated; an or ganization that provides means for the ex change of information; an organization that trains key people in accident prevention work; an organization that helps to establish standards, which provides technical assist ance, measures progress and recognizes achievement; an organization that offers its facilities to others in order that there may be a voluntary coordination of effort To meet these needs, the National Safety Council was created and developed over the past 47 years. 25 I960 Xational Safety Congress What is the National Safety Council? The National Safety Council is a fed erally chartered, non-political, non-profit, privately financed corporation. It has one. and only one, objective which is the pre vention of accidents where people live, where they work, where they play and as they travel. It operates as a Council -- inviting, en couraging- and assisting others to join in the war on accidents. As an example, and 1 could give you many, just the other day. the president of the Rexall Drug chain spent several hours with us in discussing ways and means through which the thou sands of Rexall stores could be used to reach families with accident prevention in formation. The Council's strength lies in the knowledge and experience of its mem bers and its staff. It is truly Americanin concept in that its members voluntarily give of their time and talent for the wel fare of others. What are the basic principles that govern the Council's operations? Here are exam ples of these basic policies. The Council shall-- 1. Operate as a non-profit, non-political as sociation devoted exclusively to accident prevention. 2. Operate in the general public interest, o. Serve no special interest. 4. Not endorse any commercial product or enterprise. 5. Work cooperatively with officials and private organizations. The picture I have just drawn of the Council is a true one. It is the picture I ask you to help portray to members, to friends and to the public. Another problem -- the Council cannot^ meet all the legitimate demands placed on it As-our conference-staff teams perform in a given field, their very performance gen erates requests for more activity. The Council needs a larger field staff to work with officials and with state and local safety councils. Too often we see interest in safety fade because we cannot promptly move in with on-the-spot assistance. The Council needs resources to do a bet ter job with schools and colleges and in the fields of home and public safety; and to expand its work with youth, civic, labor, women's, fraternal and religious groups to get them working more actively for acci dent prevention. The Council needs additional staff to service memberships in the industrial, busi ness and motor transport fields. As you well know, the limitations on the Council's ability to serve are set bv its financial resources, and I believe you should know something of the resources. Only two broad areas of activities arc self supporting. They are the areas of industry and commercial motor vehicles. All the remaining areas of the Council's activ ities have to be supported by: Donations to the Public Service Fund Special grants--earmarked money -Profits from industrial and motor trans port operations. The Councils income is derived from: Donations to the Trustees' Public Service Fund--9 per cent Special grants for specific activities--9 per cent Dues and sales of materials--82 per cent. From these percentages it is perfectly clear that only when income from dues and sales is healthy is it possible to provide the resources for effective work in fighting nonoccupational accidents. It is in the interest of all the conferences that our members and our friends take every opportunity to promote and encourage the use of the Council's services and its materials. I urge that you do so. So much for problems--serious as they are at times, the accomplishments of your conference-staff teams relegate them to the background. You have in your conferencestaff teams highly qualified, determined and aggressive forces that are preventing acci dents. I could and would enjoy spending hours telling you of their work, their grow ing prestige and their many, many successes. I shall have to limit these accounts to one illustrative example in each conference area. Let's run down the list. Industrial Conference--The establishment and operation of a home stud}- course in industrial safety with an enrollment of 300 already achieved. Motor Tr ' to Columbia termine reas behavior.

The Council provided the names of 8,500 twenty-year safe drivers from its Safe Driver Award records. From these, 5,800 completed questionnaires were re ceived by Columbia University. From the analyses of the questionnaires, six semifinalists were brought to Oiicago where they underwent mental, psychiatric, health, knowledge and driver performance tests. From all of this, the safest professional driver in the United States was selected. Research and Statistics--The development of two new and significant award programs. One, the Trustees Award, the Council's highest recognition, given to one city and one state having the best performance in the prevention of ail types of accidents. The other award is the Metropolitan Life Awardgiven to encourage research workers to in clude the problem of acddent causation in their studies. School and College--The recognition of outstanding safety education programs to some 5,000 schools. Home Conference--The expansion of the Home Safety Inventory program from 70 to some 350 cities. Also, the increasing use of the Home Safety magazine by employers. Women's Conference -- The clarification M development of a broad program to en list women's organizations in the war against all types of accidents with emphasis on reaching families. Membership Cotnmittee--A 45 per cent in crease in non-member sales, an indication of the extension of the Council's influence in accident prevention among a larger seg ment of the nation. Labor Conference -- Participation of unions in the Labor Day Safety* Campaign. Union efforts received support from clergy, employers, civic and fraternal organizations and state and local safety councils.------------- Youth Committee--The development of an award program for youth organizations and the initiation of a youth traffic safety pilot program in the State of Georgia. Religious Committee--The organization of state and local religious committees to carry on accident prevention activities. The moral concept of safety has been extended to 50 states through seminars. Safety Sabbaths and governors' conferences. Farm Conference -- The completion of state farm safety committees in all but three of the 50 states, and the strengthen ing of these committees through regional conferences. Two conferences were held this year with highly gratifying results. Public Information Conference--The most significant thing the Public Information Department has done in 1960 is to put the emphasis in all its material to the media and to the public or people and their atti tude toward safety, rather than the things people might do--inspection of cars, etc.-- to prevent accidents. In other words, we have tried to personalize and humanize our approach to the public more than in the past. The Conference of State and Local Safety Councils--Progress in the inventory and appraisal program which is to be discussed by Past Vice President Koch. Traffic Conference--The greater use of the Annual Inventory of Traffic Safety Activities by states and cities. This program measures progress and recognizes achieve ment in the action program of the Presi dent's Committee for Traffic Safety. This year 49 states and over 1,200 cities are using. this service to improve their efforts to pre vent traffic accidents. Production Committee--The changing of the Home Safety Review magazine from a technical to a family type of publication and its increased use by business and in dustry' for their employees. Public Safety Committee -- The creation of a committee to deal with the prevention of accidents in public places. Top govern ment, industry and civic leaders have ac cepted appointment to this committee. These . examples of the activities of your Council suggest the breadth and scope of its work. It also indicates the positive ap proaches and their acceptance which every day become more characteristic of the Council's efforts. Now, what have we accomplished in re lation to our objective--the prevention of accidents? At the end of seven months of I960, the nation's accident death total was about un changed from the previous year. This was accomplished despite further increases in 27 1 I960 National Safety Congress li f. population and in the number of motor ve hicles on our streets and highways. A great expansion in recreational activities, too, has exposed the nation's population to new and great hazards as boating, swim ming, hunting, flying and other activities have captured the leisure hours of millions of people. Despite the attendant increase in accident potential, the rate of death (deaths per 100,- 000 population) actually dropped nearly 2 per cent during the first seven months of 1960 to 50.6, the lowest rate on record. For specific classes of accidents, changes in death totals during the first seven months were as follows: Motor Vehicle.............................+ 1 percent 9 Home............................................+ 2 percent Work ....................................-- 1 per cent Public ................................. -- 2 per cent j Now for that should annual busi of the Nat I hope it position to ization witli this is exa National S as numerou with whom working di with the cdi The fartl our field n I have wit Councils, tl make-up ax our headqu* date with making, the organization it is destinet In this o that many < to carefully port to the dent Prevt Stewart hai tion, I want required re: As far as document ti are doing tl i is adequate It goes w ! dent proven | a baker's c thousands o stantly expc dental death have been fatalism ab neither just to have the tion and su to be as efi In acddei not for hug 28 Annual Council Meeting THE PRESIDENTS REPORT By HOWARD PYLE President, National Safety Council Now for the few summary observations that should be made before we adjourn this annual business meeting of the 48th year of the National Safety Council. my position to be publicly proud of the organ ization with which he is identified, because this is exactly the way I feel about the National Safety Council. The reasons are as numerous as the names of those of you with whom I have had the privilege of working during my relatively short time with the council. The farther I travel in the company of our field representatives, the more contact I have with the leadership of our local Councils, the better I learn to know the make-up and abilities of the members of our headquarters staff and the more I asso ciate with those who join in the policymaking, the more convinced I am that this organization has few if any limits in what it is destined to accomplish. In this connection, I know it isn't likely that many of you have had the time as yet | to carefully review the Council's latest Re| Prt to the Nation, otherwise entitled "AcdfV Mt Prevention Works." While General 1 Stewart has commended it to your atten1 tion, I want to urge that you consider it as I required reading. | As far as I am concerned the theme of this ! document turns a corner in this work we | are doing that is as vital to our success as is adequate financing. It goes without saying that we know acci dent prevention works, but we are not even a baker's dozen compared to the tens of thousands of our citizens who are so con stantly exposed to the tragic details of acci dental death and injury that we know could have been avoided. The result--a certain fatalism about accident prevention that is neither justified or permissable if we are to have the active and intelligent coopera tion and support we must have if we are to be as effective as we simply have to be. In accident prevention our basic appeal is not for huge sums of money to be invested almost entirely in the exploration of un knowns. Research we must have, and we all know how vitally important it is in the science of safety; but today's biggest job for us is making the absolute most of what we already know about accident pre vention. Hence the reason for doing a better job of selling the idea that accident prevention works when'the known techniques, methods and procedures are given a dance to work. In the last ten years alone the population death rate for all classes of accidents has been reduced 15 per cent It is down 30 per cent for home accidents. Occupational deaths per 100,000 workers have dropped 18 per cent. The motor vehicle mileage death rate (deaths per 100 million miles of travel) has improved 28 per cent During this same decade, spectacular gains were made in worker safety. Accident fre quency rates went down-- 64 per cent in electrical equipment manu facturing plants, 62 per cent in the manufacturing of auto mobiles. 59 per cent in the gas utilities business, 55 per cent in machinery, 51 per cent in rubber, 36 per cent in all industry. Four out of the first five industrial world records for safety on the job have already been broken this year. Certainly this is proof positive that we don't have to wait for some magical break through--a vast unknown at some date imcetain--in order to provide more and bet ter protection from accidental death, injury and economic loss for our people every where ... all the time. So, when the National Safety Council appeals for financial support it is essentially for applied accident prevention. One needs only to survey the extent to which the industrial community supports ap plied accident prevention on-the-job through the payment of Council dues and the pur chase of materials, to be tremendously im- 29 1960 National Safety Congress pressed with industry's belief in applied ac indictment of failing to be equal to the cident prevention. responsibilities with which we are charged Ni The puzzling thing is how there can be such strong comiction about applied acci dent prevention on-the-job on the part of thousands of our most progressive concerns while scarcely 700 of them are annually willing to make tax deductible contributions under our Congressional Charter.

Lowe, Chair man of the Board of Directors, presiding. The Invocation was given by the Reverend William F. Graney, assistant editor of The --New World, Chicago. Reverend uraney's prayer is printed on a following page. During the dinner, banquet guests were entertained by an orchestra under the direc tion of Johnny Jones. The entertainment feature of the evening was a musical pro gram presented by the "Singing Men of Steel,'' a choral group from the South Works of the United States Steel Corpora tion, Chicago, under the direction of Harr?: S. Walsh. Seated at the speakers table, and at special tables on the ballroom floor, were the Coun cil's Officers and members of the Board of Directors. All were appropriately introduced to the banquet guests by the Chairman. Greetings were extended by the Honorable Richard J. Daley, Mayor oi Chicago, who expressed his conviction about the impor tance of safety effort and pointed with pride to the substantial reduction in traffic deaths 'Thich has been achieved in Chicago. -President Howard Pyle presented the Trustees Award of the National Safety Council to the Honorable Robert B. Mevner, Governor of New Jersey, and to the Honor able James Gilmore, Mayor of Kalamazoo, Michigan. New Jersey and Kalamazoo won the awards--the first to be presented--for their accident prevention performance in 1959. which curls in an upward sweep from a narrow base to a pointed top. It is fashioned to symbolize the flame of life which accident prevention seeks to sustain. After accepting the New Jersey Award with appropriate remarks. Governor Mevner in turn handed it to Llnvd M Felmly, President of the New Jersey Safety Council, who paid tribute to key figures in the State's safety program, asking them to rise from their seats at a special table. Mayor Gilmore likewise passed the Kalamazoo Award to Clyde S. Williams, President of the Kala mazoo Safety Council, who recognized lead ers present from that organization. The banquet address was given by Gen eral Alfred M. Gruenther, introduced by the Chairman as a man who culminated an outstanding military career by serving from 1953 to 1956 as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe and Commander in Chief of the L'nited States European Command, and who has since served as President of the Ameri can National Red Cross with outstanding skill and vigor. General Gruenther spoke on the subject "American Responsibilities in a World of Missiles and Misunderstandings," asserting that, despite America's formidable road ahead, we must keep faith in our religious civilization, because there is no other way to survival. General Gruenther predicted that there will be no hot war,- no firing of the terrible missiles now available, but that the cold war will continue "through the lives of all who are here tonight" The award will be presented annually to the State and the city which, during the year, did most to protect their citizens from accidents of all kinds. The award is based not only on actual accident records, but on accident prevention activities by media, churches, civic and youth groups, public of ficials, and safety organizations. For earning this recognition Governor Meyner and Mayor Gilmore received from President Pyle the Flame of Life Award, specially designed and made for the Council by Steuben Glass. The Award is an abstract crystal sculpture in the form of a flame "America's handicaps in the cold war in clude the jealous}-, envy, and misunderstand ing of some of our allies," General Gruen ther said, "but Khrushchev also has his difficulties. He has difficult}* explaining to the world why he has to fence in his citizens with barbed wire and an iron curtain. He has difficult}' explaining the flight of citizens from East Germany." "I am confident we can avert a hot war and I am confident that after a long cam paign we will win the cold war," General Gruenther concluded. "We will win it. not with weapons, but with people." 31 1969 National Safety Congress INVOCATION By THE REV. WILLIAM F.
