BEST EXECUTIVES
 OF GRUFF NATURE
Impatient Brag6ar6 Advance
 Faster Than Others,

French Lick, Ind. June II R1A cross section of the traits which build executive leadership. taken di- rect from American industry. wa~ presented before the National Asso- citation of Office Managers at its meeting here. +,s
 The report was from Dr. Donald A. Laird, director of Colgate uni- versity psychological laboratory. He was assisted in the studies by E. s. Copeland, w. l.. Webb and Everett Holt. -f
 The findings summarize qualifica- tions of strong" men. marked by their superiors for more pay and executive leadership responsibility. and weak" men who just failed to get the jcb.
 Dr. Laird said many pet theories were upset. Neither type differed essentially in interest in people. : or in flair play" while 'hard work was not the key to succ>ss as be- tween the two groups. Self-control under trying conditions also appear ed of small importance. and th.. weak" leaders rated slightly higher in patience.
 Outstanding general traits of the executive of strong leadership" said Dr. Laird, were how he impressea others as having self-confidence. how we'll he plans and organizes routine and subordinates. general business judgment and aggressive ness, his foresight in anticipating future developments. his knowledge Of the details of his present job, his willingness to take over responsibilz ity and his ability to carry it out.
 This is rather a different picture from one gained from ?. literary sources. It is not human or pleas ing personality qualities that have made the leader.
 "As & matter of fact practically half of the marked leaders had q noticeable dislike of some of their associates. had a temper, did not know about the home conditions or troubles of people. were arguments ltlve, and people did not come to them for confidential advice.
 "The strong leader bragged more He is bit more vulgar, is some. what likely to interrupt others. than are the weak leaders"

 "On Richey's deal dad got two jacks which he drew to. MacCoy asked for three cards, Lundy for two. Richey took three himself. Dad had caught another jack and on the strength of it bet a stack Of reds. MacCoy raised the stack. Lundy meditated. narrowed his eyes at dad for . moment. then saw the raise. Richey dropped and Peterson contented himself with call. But dads jacks had gone back on him - Lundy had filled a straight with his two-card draw.
 Dad said the pressure outside had forced several Of the men Into the room. The room began 10 reek of cut plug and burning kerosene and sweat. There wasn't much talk. Dad won the third hand. The fourth went to MacCoy. the fifth to Richey. On the sixth hand dad bluffed with a couple of sevens. MacCoy and Richey dropped out early, but Lundy had bet $2.000 before he drew back and dad reaped the pot. At the end of an hour Lundy had lost around S4.00O. Richey was about even, MacCoy was . little ahead.
 'Lundy allowed himself to look disturbed. He leaned forward. drumming on the table. We aint gettin' nowheres.'
 ''Dad nodded and they stared at each other in silence. Lundy's eyes were hostile, but the look of complete understanding in them was more evident than ever. Lun- dy leaned back.
 "Let's get at 1t. them
 Dad couldn't mistake his mean. ing.\ Lundy didn't look at either Richcy or MacCoy. Dad, of course, had long since realized that they were as unrelated to the issues of the game as the wax figures Lundy had confiscated two weeks before.
 "MacCoy cut and Lundy lain down five cards to each. Dad had three queens trey, an ace. Hc had feeling that the game was coming to a head. His eyes lcaped to Lundy's, then dropped to his cards again. Richey discarded three. dad the ace and the trey. MacCoy three.
 'Standin' pat. eh? MacCoy whispered.
 "I reckon these'll do me- Lun- dy's voice shook.
 Dad drew the two cards toward 5 him. wondering what was I.undy's pat hand: The chances favored full house. A flush was likely. bu. not to he feared. \ straight flush was mighty rare.
 And then dad slipped the index corner of his draw carefully into sight and his heart stopped dead for a second. The fourth queen was staring up at him! He had a hand thatNwas within two of being unbeatable! With the aces broker. only four kings and straight flush could top him. Standing pat wasn't an indication of fours and it wasn't likely Lundy had that rare bird. q straight flush. No. dad argued. .Lundy's pat hand was either a lower hand or . bluff.

 "Dad always carried fair-sized roll with him in those days and he peeled off $500 m sos and tossed it down in front of Lundy. Mac Coy and Richey pushed across sim- liar amounts. They had treat deal of money on them.
