NOT ENOUGHP
FOR NEW MEMBERS
Senate Assignment Commit
tee Places IA Republicans,
Subject to Rule Change.

The assignment of republican sena-
toes to the standing committees of the
SAnate, as they will be reported to the
republican senatorial conference when
ehe new Congress meets. has been a
huge task. Twelve new republican
senators had to be given committees
an unusually large number-and in
addition to this the Senate rules as
amended reduced the number of COM
mittees from over seventy to thirty
four and reduced the size of the indi-
vidual committees. In some instances
1T was necessary to take older repub-
1ican senators from important COM
mittees. There were not enough
places to go round.
The committee on committees is
proposing to increase the size of the
major committees from fifteen-as
provided in the new rule-to sixteen,
plate such a change. If this change
IS not accepted a dozen senators wIIl
be disappointed in important assign
mentS made.
Assignments Made.

teen new senators follow:

relations committee, and has only
two other assignments. naval affairs
and the new committee on expendi-
lures in the executive departments.
All the other senators have assign
ments to four committees. except five
who have been assigned to five COM
mittees. But Senator Lodge is chair

ex-of1icio chairman of the steering
committee.

in the executive departments is head

TOP[EAD INNOCENT
|NPEONAGE KILLING
Williams Will Make Sweeping
Denial That He Ordered
Negroes Drowned.
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Ca, April John S
Williams. who is to go on trial Tues
day in Covington, Ga, charged with
the murder of one of eleven of his
negro farm hands, he is alleged to
have had killed to hide peonage con-
ditions, will enter a plea of not guilty
and will make a sweeping denial of
the charges made by Clyde Manning
negro farm boss. it was announced
here late yesterday by Green F. John
son, counsel for Williams.
Manning. according to officials, de-
clared he and Charley Chisholm killed
the negroes and he later killed CHS
holm, on orders of Williams, and it
was reported in Covington yesterday
that authorities expected they might
find two more bodies. Sheriff W. F.
Persons of Jasper county. where the
Williams farm is located. declared he
had no evidence to justify belief that
any more bodies would be found.
Sheriff Persons and other Jasper
county authorities are continuing
their investigation in preparation for
the meeting April II of the Jasper
county authorities are making ready
for trial of Williams. who already
has been indicted in that county
charged with the murder of three ne
SroeS ne IS alleged to have brought
there and bad drowned.
Possibility that counsel for Will
liams would challenge the jurisdic.
ton of Newton county on the ground
that the negroes found in the river
separating the two counties might
have been killed in Jasper county
was indicated today.
Gov. Dorsey indicated last night
that Graham Wright. assistant state
attorney general, would be the only
lawyer the state would send to aid
the prosecution of Williams. and it
became known the governor has
opened negotiations with William
Howard, an Augusta, Ga, attorney, to
look after the interests of Manning
who was indicted with Williams, but
who will be one of the principal wit
nesses for the prosecution. The gov
ernor was said to feel that the negro 5
position was a peculiar one and tina
an attorney should be appointed ia
look after his case.

5. Are You a ''Dice Boy 2"

I know a business executive who
prides himself on his ability as a
guesser He frankly admits to his
success in life is due to his daring
in making snap decisions based on
sheer guesswork. sometimes / fail
to hit the mark" he comedies. but
cen II guess right only 40 per
cent of the time I figure that I am
scoring q higher average than most
business men get
There are a good many "guessers"
in the business world, although prob
ably only few of them are as frank
as this friend of mine in disclosing
their methods of arriving at decisions.
The majority Of this type prefer to
say that they "act on intuition. In
my opinion that means pretty much
the same thing; for in the course OF
experience in business l have never
as yet come across a man who really
possessed "intuitive judgment" l am
st. ongly inclined to think that there
is no such animal" AS I once heard
Thomas A. Edison remark: Intuition
is often another name for mental
laziness."
Snap judgment. it can safely be
said. IS a bad thing in business. We
might just as we'll reach our de-
cisions by throwing dice as by ran
dom guessing. The average OF sue
cess in either case would be about the
same Perhaps. if anythingNthe odds
would be in favor of the dice Nmethod.
At all events, the salaried employe
who substitutes rough guessWork
for logical thinking and planning is
Of no more use to his-or her-em-
ployer than a dice box would be.
One Form Of Guessing.
There is, however, one form of
guessing which is not only advan-
tageous to the business worker. byt
which is more or less essential TO
his success. 1t is called logical con-
lecture. and it is based on the faculty
Of analysis. which we have already
discussed. and the logic of mental
deal with in this article.
Lack of logic-the experiments we
have been making at our plant for
the past twelve months have con-
vinced us-iS one of the principal
handicaps which prevent the salaried
employees from getting out of the rut.
All of us reason logically at times.
Our problem is to acquire the faculty
and habit Of reasoing logically at
all times.
The kind of logic with which we are
concerned is not the brand that alb
struse philosophers use. We need
not measure the quality of our logic
by the maxims set down in college
text Books. The logic that is needed
in business is a mental compass which
gives proper direction to human rea-
soning. Faulty logic to the salaried
employe is as dangerous as is faulty
compass to a mariner.
To be logical does not mean that
we must be ponderous and slow. On
