tional legislative committee, will be
the principal speaker at the open
meeting of Irvington post No. 80,
Friday night in the auditorium of
School 81, Ritter avenue and

Mr.. Taylor will talk about his
particular job in Washington and
the things he is striving to do for
the American Legion. Mr.. Taylor
has retained his connection with the
United States army and now is a
colonel in the chemical warfare Sec
ton. He began his army life as a

MILLIONS MUST
CHANGE WORK
Psychological Methods Of
Training Urged to Aid
Great Transfer.
B.y Science Service

BIZ Science SeTG1Ce
PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-Ten
million men who have been en-
ployed on white-collar jobs will be
forced to change to manual labor
during the next ten years, was an
estimate cited by DR., Morris c.
Viteles of the University of Penn
sylvana, in an address here.
Another fifteen million manual
workers will find it necessary to
transfer to jobs requiring skills other
than those to which they have been
trained, he predicted. He urged
modern psychological methods of
vocational study and re-education
to meet this great problem of place
ment.
In the case of these men there is
no time to be wasted in trying out
one or another job until by chance
each finds that for which he is
adapted" DR.. Viteles said The
rapid adjustment and effective use
of this man power require an exact
ANALYSIS, by appropriate psychology
ical techniques, of qualifications for
work. Only in this way can there
be sound and rapid re-education
and placement of each in accord
ance with the new needs of industry
and with the specific qualifications
of each worker involved.
traditional notions of vocational
fitness must give way to the use of
psychological methods in measuring
human capacities, temperamental
traits, interests and skills that I'M
derlie job success" DR.. Viteles de-
clared He cited work already be-
ing done in employment research
centers in Minnesota, Philadelphia
and New York, as pointing in the
right direction.
''The analysis of individual ability
emotion characteristics and inter
ests is only the first step in a scien-
tif1c program for putting displaced
labor into new fields of employ
ment," he explained. This must
be supplemented by psychologically
sound training programs for teach
ing men the new jobs for which they
are qualified"

DEATH CLAIMS
", C. Proctor,
SOAP MAGNATE
Head of Giant Concern Is
Victim of Pneumonia
at Cincinnati.
By United Press

By United Press
CINCINNATI, o., May 2.-Wil-
liam Cooper Proctor, 70, soap manu-
facturer and philanthropist. died
early today at Holmes hospital of
pneumonia.
The wealthy chairman of the
board of the Proctor & Gamble
Company succumbed shortly before
s a. m. at the hospital where for
four days he had fought the dis
ease.
Colonel Proctor returned last
Friday from business trip to New
York and was suffering from what
he believed a slight cold He al
ways had been physically rugged
and in all sorts of weather he
walked about without hat or over
coat and drove in an open vehicle.
Though the cold bothered him
little he finally went to the hos
pital on advice of a physician. His
condition quickly took an alarming
turn as the cold developed into
bronchial pneumonia.
Colonel Proctor was credited with
being the first to authorize half
holidays on Saturdays for his plant
workers. For nearly forty years,
employees of the firm have partici-
pated in proft-sharing plan I'M
der which nearly 100000 is dis
tributed yearly. Employees earning
not more than $4,000 year are per-
mitted to enter this plan.
The proft-sharing idea was later
expanded to include insurance, dis
ability benefits and pensions. Colonel
Procter's guaranteed year-arounc
employment, relieving workers of
the fear of layoffs, focused interna-
tlonal attention on his plant during
the beginning of the depression.
Colonel Proctor gave millions to
charity, education and the arts. He
was heavy donor to Princeton uni
versity.

SPEAKER URGES
Aviation Expert Heard by
Legion at Roundup
Dinner Here.

Necessity Of taking aviation out
Of politics was stressed by T. Park
Hay, public relations director for
the TranScontinental and Western
Air, Inc, at the American Legion
aerial roundup dinner last night.
He asserted that prior to cancel
latlon OF air mail contracts. the
commercial flying companies nearly
had been able TO operate without
government subsidy.
Only a S27500 deficit remained
between the amount received by the
postal department and that paid
TWA for flying the mails during a
tnirty-nlne months period, he de-
clared.
Enthusiasm for the development
OF the air program throughout the
legion was urged by National Com
mander Edward A. Hayes. The in
f1uence Of the legion in this develop
ment has been overlooked. he said.
A total of $1,000 American Legion
membership cards were flown to In
annapolis yesterday by regular air
/ lines and special planes from many
states.
This membership increase raises
the 1884 membership total to 1885,

is FOR ADEQUATE
LIQUOR CONTROL
Democratic Candidate for
State Legislature Voices
Ideas.

Considered by many as one Of the
most able politicians in the city,
Roberta West Nicholson Mrs Mere
dith Nicholson Jr) today voiced
some Of the causes she hopes to
further, if nominated and elected
state representative.
Mrs. Nicholson is a candidate in
the primary election to be held
May 8, on the Democratic ticket.
"Of course, since 1 was interested
primarily in repeal, am anxious
that we have adequate laws regulat-
ing the sale Of liquor" she said. Il
do not think that these should be
based merely on revenue to the
state, as is the feeling of many per-
sons now, out I feel that the sale
should be regulated to do away with
illicit dealers, many Of which we
still have.
Il haven't any definite plan in
mind for this at present, but I am
studying it, and feel that legislators
must deal with the question. I am
looking with interest at the expert
ment Of state-owned liquor stores in
Ohio.
Against Child Labor
I'm addition to interest in forth
coming liquor legislation, I am in
tereSted in the child labor amend
ment. I had held personal opinions
in favor of it, and because of that,
I have secured material prepared by
the opposition. I am studying it
now but as yet have found nothing
which would change my opinion
about the amendment.
of course. I do not pretend to
know anything about needed tax
Legislation as yet. But I can promise
that if I am elected, I will study it
and will know as much as any other
legislator when the law is presented
for the vote"
Mrs. Nicholson has served two
years as precinct committeewoman
and went as an alternate delegate
in 1892 to the national Democratic
convention.
In Politics Since Marriage
She says she gained her first in
terest in politics shortly after her
marriage to Meredith Nicholson Jr.
when she listened to his father dis
cuss the principles of the Demo-
cratic party at family dinners.
She is a member Of the League of
Women Voters, and was a member
Of the national organization which
worked for repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment.
THE new deal, with Mrs Roose-
velt setting an example, has shown
that the time really has arrived fol-
women to take active part in the af-
fairs of government" Mrs. Nicholson
said Women have been criticized
for having shown little improvement
in national, state and civic affairs
since they gained the vote"
