LABOR IS NOW BACK IN JOHNSON'S CORNER- ready to go all-out in 1968. The hostility of last year-over the wage guideposts and his alleged failure to push hard for repeal of the "right-to-work" clauses-has been forgotten. The unions need Johnson now. After the stinging defeats of the candidates they backed in the November elections, they feel they have nowhere else to go. Many union leaders just do not feel at home even with liberal Republicans.

A Gem of a Product-Cameo
and black frit have been used as a color combination in an architectural product.
QUESTION: Is CAMEO offered in colors other than black.
MR. BEHNK: No. We chose black to accentuate the natural beauty of glass.
QUESTION: How does this natural glass and black appearance aid designers?
MR. BEHNK: We suggest CAMEO be used with black mortar. In that way the points will flow more smoothly and blend the glass with the mortar. This permits a total wall design impression.
QUESTION: This total wall impression, how does it differ from other glass wall unit construction?
MR. BEHNK: Other glass wall units give you a square-upon-square feeling. This square-upon-square appearance can present striking design effects. However, using CAMEO, the designer can create a unified feeling in a glass wall as if the wall was a large single unit.
QUESTION: How's this total wall impression going to help architects and designers?
MR. BEHNK: The total wall effect using CAMEO opens unusual opportunities for designers and architects. Part of our job as a design firm is to keep up-to-date on design trends in architecture. Currently, the most notable trend is for greater expression of individuality on the part of the architect and designer. This individuality is reflected in buildings that are created by these people. CAMEO has the design capability to express this individuality.
QUESTION: Exactly what do you mean?
MR. BEHNK: Well, depending on the combination of products used and the design created, CAMEO can run the gamut of effect from delicate tracery to massiveness while always retaining a fluid look. At the same time, the designer is able to avoid the simple square-upon-square feeling in a wall, when that effect isn't desirable. Of course, CAMEO can be used with other building products, permitting infinite design possibilities.
