CHANGE IN PENSION ACCOUNTING METHOD (Policies)	Sep. 29, 2013
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Pensions, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Under the new method of accounting, referred to as mark-to-market (MTM), we will recognize gains and losses in excess of the corridor annually, in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions and the differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets and discount rates. Any interim remeasurements triggered by a curtailment, settlement, or significant plan change will be recognized as an MTM adjustment in the period in which it occurs. The remaining components of pension expense, interest cost and the expected return on plan assets, will be recorded on a quarterly basis as ongoing pension expense.
