Executives Urged
To Share Facts
With Employees
BY the Associafsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-American
businessmen must share with their
employees the facts about their
businesses, Wallace F. Bennett, pres
ident of the National Association of
Manufacturers, said today.
The Salt Lake City paint manu-
facturer said in a year-end state
ment that THE most important
problem facing American manage
ment is the problem of human re-
lationships.
Il feel that when each employe
can understand the relation OF his
wages to the company's prices and
to its costs, we can begin to hope
for an intelligent approach to the
problem of high prices" Mr.. Ben
nett said.
He said he felt so strongly that
confiding in employees and sharing
the facts with them sis the only
way in which we can bring about
industrial peace and maintain our
high level of prosperity. that it will
be my personal objective during my
year as president Of NAM to en-
courage our members and in fact,
all American industry, to adopt this
program as a great goal of indus
try"

E||ingson Urges Thrift
To CurtaiI Initiation

Greater practice of thrift in 1949
until the upward inflationary spiral
has been broken, was urged yes
terday by Carl H. Ellingson, presi-
dent of the First Federal Savings
& Loan Association. Exercise the
"veto-power" on unnecessary spend
ing while we are still in the midst
of prosperity, he advocated
Thrift is the basis of a sound
national economy and saving will
permit spending later when the
good things of life cost less. There
is a time for spending ana a time
for saving, this being definitely the
time for saving, the loan executive
declared.
Such move may slow down our
business economy, small price to
pay for putting a stop to increaS-
ing prices tefore a major disturb
ance overtakes us. he added.

Little Change Foreseen
In Business ACTIVITY
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. a.-An official
of the Avco Manufacturing Corp.
says competitive conditions are re-
turning in certain consumer goods
lines but the general business level
in 1949 should be almost equal to
that of 1948.
That's the appraisal of Raymond
c. Cosgrove, executive vice president
of Avco, in his year-end statement.
Mr.. Cosgrove 1pints out that
there is vast backlog of both pub
lie and private construction pro-
jects awaiting the easing of more
demanding economic pressures. He
adds that the full effect of our
foreign aid and defense programs
will be felt during the coming year
and that the overall outlook is one
that should raise no fears for busi-
ness.

trim executives salaries, build up

Irving Brecher of Universal
International pictures Is the man
who had the idea for transferring
Riley from the radio to the screen.
In fact. 1t Is 30 completely his
idea that he not only produced the
picture, but also directed 1t and
wrote the script.
Riley as q screen figure is pretty
much his radio self. which Is to
say q stock comedy figure. He Is
q bumbler, q pathetic mop OF q
man who makes q mess OF every
thing he undertakes. and whose
destiny ID to be laughed ut for
putting up such q brave Tight
against fate. Even the sad things
that oyertake him are supposed to
be funny.
Script Writer Brecher has not
been inspired In this particular
account Of the things that happen
to Riley. They are exactly the
same things that have hap
pened to the character-under its
other names-since 1t was invent
ed by the first humorous writer.
In this Life of Riley" Bendix
is an aircraft factory worker.
making s55 q week. As the script
goes, it is q great joke on the poor
oaf that he cannot pay the rent.
that when friends call he can not
even provide electric lights much
less the dinner they came to eat.
and that he finally has to rob his
sons piggy bank to get through
the first few scenes.
For 20 years, Riley has been
bulling his way through disasters
like this, and Brecher's Aim sees
to it that there never is any let
up in the tide.
The economic problem is the
basic joke OF the comedy at
Keith's. and naturally 1t gives rise
to scores of smaller dilemmas.
There is. for instance. the prob
lem of Riley getting a better job
with the aircraft company. OBJ
viously. a lunkhead of his un-
adulterated stupidity is not the
kind that can be promoted on
merit, a fact that Author Brecher
faces with commendable frank
ness.
But. how to get Riley into q
higher pay strata?
Brecher's simple solution Is the
one that dozens OF other writer's
have used In the same situation.
namely that Of letting the pretty
Riley daughter work pops way
out Of the trap. This she does
by getting engaged to the boss
son. who also happens to be In
the market for q marriage of con-
venience. and who is not con-
cerned with the fact that his

Life of Riley" is full Of this sort
Of thing.
There lis one thing about radio
serials transferred to the screen;
they meyer leave Q producer or d.
rector with q dearth of characters.
In addition to keyman Riley. there
Is the faithful wife who never
asks anything but to be loved by
this poor devil; the son who Is
daft about radio crime programs;
the loud-mouthed old suitor Of
the wife's: the harsh landlacy;
the Indifferent boss. and . dozen
others.
There Is In Riley's set one par
ticular comic fellow. an under
taker named Digger ODell. This
dead-pan creature Is given to
making very funny remarks relat-
ing to life and his odd relationship
to it. A sample is found in his OBJ
servation that although you may
not like flowers ut first. I always
say they grow on YOU"
