A & P Head Defines
Firms Obligations
To Their Employees

It is a comDany's obligation to
help its employees become more
valuable each year, declares John
A. Hartford, chairman of the Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company.
"A man must know that his lob
is safe and that good work will
be rewarded with the promotion
and pay it deserves" says Mr.. Hart
ford. "A man must be assured that
ne will not be penalized for his mis-
takes, if he will only learn from
them in the end"
With such comments at these. the
78-year-old head of the worlds lar
gest food chain sums up a life time
OF employee-relations experience in
an interview appearing in the Nav
issue OF COronet magazine.
What makes this attitude some
thing of a phenomenon" saws wri-
ter Toney Terry Hatfield, ''is that
he has never presented it as one
OF beneVolence, but merely as an
acknowledgment of management's
obligation to labor" AS a result
0t such views, the story adds. A. e.
P. enjoys labor relations unsur-
passed by any large company.
Mr.. Hartford is termed an "as-
siduOus student of all the varied
factors that make for harmony be-
tween employer and employee" He
does not pursue his studies in an
ivory tower, however, but is con-
stantly dropping into A. & P. stores
to look around or to chat with the
clerks.
He is described as a simple man
who, 'like the A. & P. itself" does
not put on airs, rarely takes a vaca-
ton and puts in a full day. five
days a week, in an unObtrusive Of
fiee the door to which is never
closed.
The article concludes: "To all
appearances, the two aims of Mr.
Hartford's existence have
been the contentment of employees
and the lowering of food prices
How well he has succeeded in
achieving the latter may be Judged
from the fact that, of all chain
stores, the A. & P. operates on the
sIlmmest margin of profit"

Flying Kites Is Fun,
Can Be Dangerous

Flying kites is great fun for the
youngsters, and now that the wea-
ther is getting warmer the kite fly
ers are expected to be out in large
numbers. Keep them flying safely.
is the advice of the Delaware Safe
ty Council.
The wise flyer will make sure he
doesn't get into trouble with cleo
tricity. Benjamin Franklin used a
Kite in his experiments with cleo
tricity, and so we know it is pOssi-
bic for some kinds of string to con-
duct electricity-tinsel string, for
instance, the kind that is used for
tying Christmas packages. But or
binary cotton string will conduct
electricity if it is wet. And the per
son who uses fine wire as a sub
stitute for string is just asking for
trouble.
And even if a safe string is used.
there is no point in flying a kite
near electric wires. A kite lodged
IN power lines may cause trouble
not only for its owner, but also for
the power company. Trying to re-
trieve kites has brought death to
more than one youngster-either
through falling from a power pole
or through electric shock.
The kite flyer who wants to get
the most out of the sport will do a
wcTkmanlike job, right from the
start. For example, when the kite is
ready for flying, it will be free
from prOtruding pins, nails, or
brads that might cause scratches.
Just as the Air Corps provides
the smOOthest possible runways for
taking off and landing, so the kite
flyer will select a spot as free as
possible from trees, poles, stumps.
large stones, bitches, broken glass
and similar hazards that might
cause a crack-up. When he is run
ming to get the kite alOft. he will
face in the direction of travel and
watch where he is going. That. of
course, means keeping off the
streets and highways, too.
Expert kite flyers say that it is
a good idea for a person to be alert
when his kite is in the air SO that
a high wind or a sudden gust won't
throw him off balance or cause the
cord to burn him as it slips through
his hands. Some even say that i'll
the kite is quite large or the wind
quite strong, it is a good idea to
snub the string around some fixed
object, such as a fence post.
All of this may seem like a LOT
trouble for a little fun, but actual |
Iy it requires only a little common
sense thinking. 1t is no harder to
DO the job the right way than the
wrong way. And any kite flyer who
has been hurt can vOuch for the
-act that it is lot more fun if YOU
keep 'em flying" safely.

Cheapest Dairy Feed
is Still The Pasture

Even though the cost of farming
is going up, pasture is still the
most economical source Of feed for
livestock. That's what County Ag-
ent VIM. H. Henderson found out
after last seasons greener pas
lures contest in Sussex County.
Twenty eight dairy farms in Sus-
sex County entered the contest last
year as compared to As this year.
Wherever there was a good pasture
program dairy farmers produced
more milk at a greater profit. Run
ners-up to pasture as best feed
buys are hay and corn silage.
Grain was the most expensive feed
being used in the county.
Pastures visited by the Greener
Pastures Committee this year have

shown real promise at this early
date. Small grains including rye
and barley along with rye grass are
providing early season grazing.
Most Of the farmers visited are
planning to use Sudan grass for
grazing during July and August.
This plan calls for seeding the su-
dan grass about May 10th at the
rate OF % pounds per acre and US
ing 500 pounds Of 5-1O-5 fertilizer

DELEGATE ENGEBRETH?

We seldom disagree with Sid Charles and the Ketchikan News
 But he could be wrong about a falling out be- tween Gov Gruening and Delegate Bob Bartlett | Maybe the Anchorage Times isp putting forward Gunnard Engebreth Republican candidate for dele gate to prevent John Butrovch of Fairbanks from running for that office.
 Whatever the strategy of the Anchorage Times in announcing that friends of Senator Engebreth were supporting him for Republican nomination for Dele gate to Congress, one be sure that 1t was done with the approval of Gov. Gruening Possibly the Governor is backing the candidacy of Senator Enge- breth as a candidate whom Delegate Bartlett would be more certain to defeat than he would Senator Butrovich
 We have seen evidence of any falling out between Delegate Bartlett and Gov. Gruening.

What They Said

Because the Wake Island confer- ence now appears to be playing such an important part in the Truman -MacArthur controversy, the salient portions of my Jan. 23 Wake Island column follow:
 The President of the United States flew halfway round the world to confer with General Mac Arthur, yet aside from a few con- versational pleasantries reported by accompanying newsmen, nothing has been published regarding what happened on this mid-Pacific Is- land.
 The direct talks between MacAr- thur and President Truman took place with no one else present; no stenographic notes were taken. It is next to impossible, therefore, to report accurately what happened. Furthermore, the stenographic notes made of the more extended conversations between Truman, Macarthur, General Bradley, and the other military men are still so secret that each copy is num- bered.
 However, I believe it is import ant that the American people know what took place at Wake Island so herewith I shall report some of the conversations recorded in these notes.
 Only one clue was given in the more extended conversation as to what Truman and Macarthur talk ed about in their private meeting This was when someone asked the President about Formosa, and he cut further discussion short with the curt reply:
 General Macarthur and I have discussed Formosa already and we are in complete agreement on the subject"
 The trend of discussion in the rest of the conference was that military victory was already in the bag. Almost more time was given to a discussion of Korean rehabilitation, therefore, than to military strategy. When it. came to the latter. General Macarthur dominated the conversation.
 "The North Koreans" he ex- plained, have about 15,000 guerril- las left in the south, but the win- ter will take care of most of them. The others are a beaten force. They are only fighting to save face. It goes against the grain to have to destroy them"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-04-25
Troops to Europe


 At one point, Gen. Omar Brad ley asked whether Macarthur could make any troops available for Eur ope in the next few months.
 MacArthur replied: "Yes. I think a division can be made available early in 1851"
 Bradley also remarked that he hoped MacArthur wouldn't have the same trouble he had with Am erican pilots in Europe shooting up railroad bridges that were needed later for rehabilitation.
 T have had the same trouble" MacArthur replied. The steno- graphic notes show laughter at this point.
 Only other laughter came when John Muccio, U. S. Ambassador to Korea, proposed using sound trucks for propaganda purposes to sell Democracy to the Korean people. This prompted the President to ob- serve:
 T believe in sound trucks. I won two elections with them"
 Highlight of the Wake Island meeting was the brilliant expos ition of one man. Macarthur com pletely dominated the conversation, and virtually no effort was made to challenge his opinions.
 Perhaps also this was the most tragic part of the conference.

 2. Macarthur assured the Pres ident the Chinese would not inter vene.
 3. Macarthur expected to get his troops back to the United States by Christmas.
 4. Because of the certainty of vic- tory, much of the conference was devoted to plans for reconstructing Korea.

Home by Christmas

MacArthur assured Truman that he could finish the job in North Korea" in a short time. According to the stenographic notes he said:
 T hope to be able to have the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-04-25

9th Army back in Japan by Christ mas. I may be able to send a con- voy into Pyongyang immediately" 1"
 At this point, President Truman asked: What about Chinese inter- vention?"
 MacArthur's reply was: 'They could have intervened earlier when it would have been decisive, but that time has passed. We are no longer fearful of their intervention. Although there are several hundred thousand along the Yalu River, it is not likely that they could cause us much trouble"
 He also implied that he could take care" of the Chinese, even if they decided to cross the Yalu River.
 At the same time MacArthur des- cribed his plans for completing the conquest of Korea, he also argued against keeping American troops in Korea.
 Obviously this raised the ques- tion of why march across the frozen North Korean wastes to the Yalu River if the plan was to march right back again in time to return the 9th Army to Japan by Christmas. However, no one at the Wake Island conference seemed to challenge Macarthur regarding this risky move.
 MacArthur's advice on the future of Korea was: We should turn Korea over to the Koreans as Galley Wash Merrygoround HH quickly as we can and get out as quickly as we can.
 Korea is poor country" he said, and we cannot afford to im- pose an occupation on them. |. Military occupations are always failures. I want to withdraw all our troops as soon as possible"
