ers-especially those belonging to
the Communist Party-that they
must increase their output to
check a serious decline in indus
trial production.
The decline was attributed
chiefly to lack of discipline and
individual responsibility among the
workers"
The warnings were headlined
on the front pages Of all Buda-
pest newspapers.
They came out Of a meeting OF
the Hungarian Workers (Commu-
nist) Party last night attended by

"the level Of worker productivity
is stagnant in most industries and
decreasing in some of them"
He added: while the average
level Of real wages increased 20.2
per cent this year, the productivity
of labor declined, the standard Of
living can rise only through an
increase Of productivity"
Kovacs warned his party col
leagues that Lenin had said cap
italism can be defeated only If
socialism achieves a much higher
productivity"
He attributed the slump in
worker output to lack Of discipline

Utilization Of Negroes in Highest
Ski||s Would Add Billions To
Nutions Buying Power

NEW YORK (ANP) - Plain
factual statements that the addi-
ton of Negroes to staffs where
their highest skills would be uti-
lized would add six billion dollars
to the nations buying power,
startled the delegates at the Am
erican management associations
three-day personnel conference at
Hotel Waldorf Astoria last week.
John E. O'Gara, vice president
and general manager of Macy's,
the worlds largest department
store, made the statement and
he spoke from actual experience.
Macy's has taken the lead in
employing Negroes in all capaci-
ties, breaking away from previous
practices of having Negroes only
in the maintenance department.
Assailing employment discrimi-
nation against qualified Negroes.
Mr.. O. Cara pointed out that a
continuation Of this policy makes
employers "criminally responsible
for providing a soft spot for SUBJ
versive pentration."
"E j C discrimination
means that the Negro can't stand
on his w feet and when he can't
do that, then he automatically
must lean on the community.
When he leans on the community,
he becomes a tax and relief bur-
den; he becomes the easiest prey
to disease : = which of course
spreads within the whole commun-
ity : : and he is shut off from
markets because obviously he
can't buy"
At this point, Mr.. o'Gara gave
his purchasing power estimate and
emphasized it as conservative. He
continued, "Why chase after the
expensive foreign markets with
such a no-cost big one right on
u doorstep"
Supplementing Mr.. O'Gara con-
tention, it may be pointed out
that only do big whiskey manu-
featuring interests regard employ
ment of Negroes in sales executive
capacities as important.
Food concerns, the largest inthe
country, have lily-white officers,
lily-white policies of employment,
management, craftsmanship, adver-
Using and public relations. One
big concern, which boasts it has
not missed paying a dividend since
it vas formed, and controlling
much of the coffee consumption
in the Unitde States as we'll as
20 to 80 other food products, does
not consider using the skills Ne
groes offer. Nor does it consider
advertising in Negro newspaper
and magazines sufficiently worth
