heard not at all in the outer

All this makes for a great
deal more efficiency, as every
one knows, and the businessmen
are all for it. Nobody likes to
be yelled at and the executive
doesn't really like to yell, if the
truth were known. He's only

At any rate, the modern Office

in particular, and that goes for
everybody from the boss down.
Demand for this change has
come from the businessmen
themselves. They've known that
it has been needed for a genera
ton or more. OF course, a few
men were ahead of their times
pioneers of progress-who tossed
out the pot-bellied stove or the
wooden filing cabinets so far
in advance of the others that
they merit a certain local fame.
And, too, there are still a few
unreconstructed bosses who will
have none of the change, even
today-and are they unpopular
with the girls in the Office!
But while the executives want

ed the change, things really
didn't get started until the
Office equipment people began
to look behind all those frosted
glass doors all over America.
They just got out of their fac
tories, and went into a few
offices, and it wasn't long be-
fore they spotted a terrific
wide-open market.
But that didn't entirely solve
the problem, either. For a long
time they didn't make any head
way. They were stumped, even
though the market was like q
plum ready to pluck.
Finally. they learned to lick
the resistance, and things have
been humming ever since. At
the very moment when things
looked blacklist they hit upon
the solution. They teamed up
with the people who for years
have been making it easy for the
housewife to fit her home to her
personality-the designers and
decorators. -,
And they learned another
secret: Treat the boss as you
would anybody else; enmesh
him in psychology. Does the
boss want dishpan hands Cor a
headache after eight hours in
a drab, unhappy ofiice)? Ger
tainly not.
The rest is history. The whole
of industry is busy making the
Office revolution work. Nothing
is dark any more, even the walls.

for all is the ultimate goal, and
if you still wonder whether it
will succeed you have never

OF Hiss 10 Head Fund
Says He Could Not Add
Anything to Investigation
OF PhiIonthropic Groups
BY the Associated Press

John Foster Dulles, Secretary
of State-designate. has declined
an invitation to testify before a
House committee on his part in
naming Alger Hiss as president
of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace.
This was reported yesterday by
Howard w. Keele, counsel for the
House group which has completed
an investigation of tax-free edu-
cational and philanthropic foun-
dations to determine whether
their funds are being used fol-
subversive purposes.
After he left the State Depart
ment, Hiss became president of
the Carnegie Endowment in 1916
The House committee received
Testimony recently that Mr.. Dulles
who was board chairman of the
endowment, suggested Hiss for the
! job.
Dulles Cites Limited Time.
Mr.. Keele told a reporter yes
terday he invited Mr.. Dulles. by
telephone and telegram. to present
his side of the story early this
week Mr.. Keele said Mr.. Dulles
replied by telegram that he
greatly appreciated the courtesy
of the committee but my time is
sharply limited between now and
January l." The committee is pre-
pairing a report which is scheduled
to be submitted to Congress by
that date.
+ Mr.. Dulles said he was forward
ing to the committee a transcript
of his testimony at Hiss trial and
said he could not add anything by
appearing before the committee.
Mr.. Dulles testified at the trial
that he wanted Hiss to resign his
endowment post after Communist
charges against him were aired in
the summer of 1948.
Dulles COntradictS Hiss.
Mr.. Dulles thus contradicted
Hiss, who had testified earlier that
Mr.. Dulles did not ask him to re-
sign.
Hiss left the endowment post
early in 1949 after his indictment.
He was convicted in January, 1850.
A star witness against him was
Whitaker Chambers. who de-
scribed himself as a former Com
nunist courier and said Hiss passed
him State Department secrets.
Alfred Kohlberg, a New York
importer, told the committee last
week that upon learning of Hiss
election to the Carnegie post he
went to see Mr.. Dulles to warn
him against Hiss.
Mr.. Kohlberg quoted Mr.. Dulles
as saying that several persons had
described Hiss as "a sort of fel-
low traveller" but there was no
concrete proof and that a man
should not be condemned without
proof.

The number of late shoppers
ran higher than the sales volume

said. This was due to the fact
there were three fewer shopping
