BABSON Discusses Men Versus Machines

81 900 to give the head of a slipping department
complete for month, the president often fails
to see the point OF course this rest must be away
from home and under supervision. Yet such an
investment by the corporation would produce more
in dividends to stockholders than if spent in any
other possible way This is the next great lesson
which corporations must learn.
PREVENTING HEART ATTACKS
During the past year, I have been especially
distressed because many of my friends and clients
are dying from heart attacks. This is not only a
loss to the family. but often a severe loss to the
corporations with which such men were concerned.
Often the death of such a is ultimately un-
favorably reflected in labor relations, sales pro-
grams and the earnings of the corporation; and
hence loss to stockholders. With special interest
in the 1000 corporations above mentioned, 1 am
anxious for the support of all attempts to reduce
these heart tragedies.
Doctors tell me that these heart attacks are
unnecessary and could largely be prevented if cor
poratons would insist on annual physical audits
of their head executives When finding one of theil
executives threatened with heart condition, the
corporation would find it an excellent investment tC
give this executive a supervised vacation with pay
at a restful spot catering to the tired business
man." This is not charity or of welfare" nature
It is sound hardboiled business sense
REPAIRING VERSUS PREVENTIVE TESTS
The so-caIled six weeks cure" for heart attacks
can be taken at home or at hospital if the pahen
will absolutely obey the doctors orders but this
not true of preventive heart repairing Those show
ing a tendency to heart trouble, but who have no
yet been attacked need not stay in bed They should
however be away from home and office, in restfu
spot in the woods until all these symptoms vanish
In this connection let say that great progres
is being made by physicians in detecting possibl
heart troubles The electro-cardiograph is nov
being supplemented or anticipated by flicker tests,
blood tests and ingenious gadgets which give a
executive warning to take rest and avoid fur
ther trouble -...-..--.

from one department slipping
This naturally worries the head of the department
The more he worries, the the department slips;
the more it slips the more he worries. If this con-
tinues too long he has a nervous breakdown or a
heart attack This is loss to the corporation and
it's stockholders.
The real purpose of my story is to emphasize
that men are more important than machnes;-in
fact all machines were invented by men and we
must depend upon men for coming great inventions.

ENTITLED TO MORE REST
! Corporations judge employees by their hours of
work and-directly or ndirecty-by their produc-
ton in physical units But a department head or
foreman may be able to develop original ideas in
few hours that can be worth large amounts to the
corporation To accomplish this however, such
man should not be worried, and should keep him
self in good health If should tell the president Of
the corporation that he could save thousands of
dollars annually by spending $1,000 repairing
a certain machine he would gladly to so; but most
corporation heads can't see this when it comes to
repairing men or keeping them in Al condition.

could save and make large sums by spending

self worthy of confidence in fiscal affairs,
hospitable to ideas of economy, tireless in
reducing unnecessary expenditures. The
Washington speech casts doubt upon these
essential matters; it leaves the country
something to ponder gravely in the year
ahead"
The New York Times said editOrially that
the President himself "quite inadvertently
had produced in his speech "the most devas-
tating indictment of the fiscal policies of his
own administration The editorial cOntin-
ued:
"While non-defense expenditures have
gone up 68 per- cent in the past 10 years, ne
is reported as saying, they actually declined
when one takes into account adjustments for
changes in the price level. Precisely. Since
Mr.. Truman himself took office in April 1945,
the cost of living has risen approximately
46 per cent and the cost of food nearly 81
per cent"
The Washington Post, staunch Admin
istratiOn supporter, had this to say;
'NO one, not even the President OF the
United States, can successfully defend the
proposition that Government spending is
nothing to worry about Mr.. Truman's ref
erence to his critics use of butterfly sta
tistics in his speech on Tuesday, was
nothing but an evasion of the issue.
". What the President has said, IN
effect, is that governmental expenditures
and infatiOn-are no problem. II the Presl-
dent does not take initiation seriously, who

OUR GREATEST DANGER

Herbert HOOVers most recent major ad-
dress dealt with the subject of honor in pub
lie life. In the course of it, the ex-President
said this: "Dishonor in public life has a
double poison. When people are dishonOrable
in private business, they injure only those
with whom they deal or their own chances
in the next world. But when there is lack
of honor in government the morals OF the
whole people are poisoned.
"Our strength is not in politics, prices,
or production, or price controls. Our
strength lies in spiritual concepts. 1t lies IN
public sensitiveness to evil.
'The issue is decency in public life
against indecency.
"Our greatest danger is not from invas-
ion by foreign armies. Our dangers are that
we may commit suicide from within by COM
plaisance with evil. Or by public tolerance
of scandalOus behavior. Or by cynical ac-
ceptance of dish0nor. These evils have de-
feated nations many times in human history
"The redemptio~ mankind by America
will depend upon our ability to cope with
these evils right here at home"
Remember that next time you read Of
five-percenters, mink coat and deep-Ifeez'

ployees, sOrdid tie-ups between politicians

IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

President Truman has been most critical
of certain aspects of the recently-paSsed
price control law He has specifically de-
nOunced amendments which require ceiling
price increases sufficient to compensate for
higher costs, and legalizing pre-KOrea profit
margins on new orders. Apparently the
President and advisors wish to force pro-
ducers and distributors to absorb all or part
of increases over which they obviously have
no control.
1t is a good thing for the country that
Congress, in this case, refused to follow
White House recommendations. Today we
need greater production all along the line
both to supply mounting military and ci-
william needs, and as a weapon against int1a-
tion. We need a retail distribution system
which can keep up with the expansion in our
productive facilities, and which will give
the consumer the best and most economical
service. But we would have none of these
things if the law directly or indirectly made
it impossible for the store or the factory to
earn a reasonable profit. No man does his
best when fair rewards are denied to him.
He simply moves with the tide and takes as
few risks as possible.
No one defends excessive profits AS a
matter of fact, competition is the pubhc's
best and surest protection against that-lt
one business tries to charge too much fol
something, another business will sell SINH
lar article for less and get the trade. And
in those few cases where excessive profits
NAV be earned, the tax collector is right or
hand to take most of it. The amendments
that Congress wrote into the price contro
law are clearly in the national interest.

Mr.. Bachrach was born In
1888 in Baltimore, where his
father had started the first
Bachrach Photographic gal
lery, and 1t was there that he
grew up with his cousin, the
late Gertrude Stein. Like
most school kids, he studied
free-hand drawing. but after
his graduation from Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute In 1906,
he gave 1t little thought. His
family wanted him to become
a civil engineer.
With that In mind, he helped
survey railroad rights-of-way
in the Allegheny Mountains
for a year.

ally grew to studios in about
80 cities, doing an annual
business Of 81 million.

It was in August, 1948. that
he discovered his latent ability

enough for Mrs. Bachrach to
urge him to try his hand with
oils. He was getting a. little

for a $5.95 painting Kit.
Like the sketch, his first oil
was not too good. But the
next was better. Then, with
