A Ceiling
On Brains
BY GEORGE f. SOKOLSKY

Reprinted from Inc NeU r ork Sun
WE SHALL soon discover that
w our most serious manpower
shortage is not factory or farm
workers but management. Dur
ing the past 10 years men have
been discouraged from assuming
the responsibilities, the ankle
ties, the cares and worries Of
management.
Now that we have levcled all
net incomes 10 maximum of
$4,000. except for the ariStoc-
racy of accumulated wealth,
what advantage is il 10 risk the
leadership Of number one job?
Why should any one make him.
self the target of criticism and
attack when constructive think
ing only leads 10 conflict with
bureaucracy?
1t is always easy 10 level
downward. II is always simple
TO place ceiling on human
ambition. The history of the
United States since the days Of
the PuritanS has been a recital
of ambition and capacity com
bining TO build a might world
here-a world in which the in
dividual took the risks and in
which the individual reaped the
rewards of capacity and achieve
ment.
We are killing all that now.
We are Withdrawing the re-
wards and leaving only the
risks. We are destroying the
hopes and leaving only the
anXieties. That IS a formula OF
defeat.

intensely interested in whatever he
thought was for the good of the COM

gained for him many friends.
He was an intensely home-loving
man, and nothing was too much for
him to do for his family. They were
appreciative of his loving kindness,
and his was an ideal domestic life.
The fact that he participated in the
various activities of his home city,
was evidence of his executive ability;
