No Substitute for Work
By Bruce Borton

After World War I leading New
York bank decided to open offices in
London and Paris, and the president
went across to make the arrangements.
When he returned, his colleagues found
him sorely disillusioned man. He had
been shocked to find how difficult it is
to do business with the French. In ne
gotiating for the purchase of building,
he had to pay some sort of tip to prac-
tically everybody from the President Of
the republic down to the janitor. He
was scandalized, too by the conversa-
tion at Paris dinner tables. The chief
subject seemed to be how to cheat the
government out of taxes. He did not
see how any country ever again could
be great when its most prosperous citi-
zenS took pride in defrauding it. -
What interested him most in the Eng
lish banks was their system Of auto
matte promotion. "How can you have
progress when there Is no incentive for
extra brains or effort?" he demanded.
"A boy goes to work for a bank as
a clerk. Every six months he is given
a petty increase in salary. He can look
forward five years. 10, 25, and know
exactly on what rung of the ladder he
will be standing. And the big thought
in his mind every minute Of the day
is that when he gets to be IS he can
quit, and be taken care of for the rest
of his life by q pension. Believe me,
as long as I am president of our bank
we're never going to have system
like that" 4
The present policies OF our Govern
ment, as Of the British and French, are
mere and more aimed at substituting
shiftlessness and penalizing hard work.
Businessmen put In fewer hours--why
not, when the Government Is taking
none Of the risk, but 80 per cent Of the
earnings? 80.
Joe Louis recently explained the lack
Of top-notch fighters. They aren't
hungry" he said. AIt takes hunger to
make q Champion
And one Of the wiseSt Of all my friends
remarked: when am dead. write this
on my tombstone: Here lies man who
lived busy life and learned only one
thing--there Is no substitute for work !"

Police Seek Suspect
Who EIuded Them
In Jimmy's Place

Prince Georges County police
today continued their search for
a burglary suspect who vanished
in a cloud of tear gas yesterday
after he was flushed
from his hiding place in the de-
serted La Fontaine gambling
casino on Bladensburg road.
Detective Sergt. Richard A.
Pearson found the man hiding in
a locked second room while
he was searching the rambling
old building for truants from the
Bladensburg Junior High School.
The detective was accompanied
by Harold F. Daugherty, principal,
and Robert King, assistant prin-
cipal, of the school.
Sergt. Pearson, believing other
men might be hiding IN the build
ing, sent Mr.. King to telephone
for additional policemen. Mean
while, he questioned the man who
said his name was Harris" and
that he had been living in the
deserted house for about a month.
Under his cot Sergt. Pearson found
a kit of burglar tools.
Just as police reinforcements
arrived the man jumped through
the window, lit on a porch roof
and rolled off to the ground. He
cut himself and bloodstains
showed he ran into the basement
of the house.
Police lobbed tear gas grenades
into the basement. Then they
donned gas masks and searched
the house for four hours.

Advantages for Taft
In Delegate Contests
Claimed by Backers
BY Jack Bell
Associated Press Political Writer

Backers of Senator Taft of Ohio
today claimed they will control
the party machinery through
which delegate contests must pass
before reaching the floor of the
presidential-nominating conven-
ton.
Representative Reece, Southern
manager for Senator Taft, told
this reporter surveys indicate the
Ohioan's supporters will hold the
majority vote in more than half
of the SO State and territorial del
egations to the convention OPEN
ing in Chicago July 7.
Regardless of the number of
votes it casts on the presidential
nomination, each delegation is en-
titled to one representative on
the conventions important Gre
dentials Committee. Each repre-
sentatives is elected by majority
vote of his delegation.
Mr.. Reece said he believes Taft
men on the Credentials Commit
tee will outnumber supporters of
Gen. Eisenhower, Gov. Warren of
California and other G. O. P.
presidential contenders.
Splits in Three States.
Rival Taft and Eisenhower
delegate states already have been
chosen in Georgia, Louisiana and
Mississippi, which will cast a total
of 81 votes on the nomination.
If a similar split develops in
Texas at a May 27 convention,
that States 38 votes may be added
to the contest list. The combined
total of IS could be decisive in
a close race for the nomination.
The credentials group gets the
contests only after the Repub-
lican National Committee first
has passed on them and has made
up the temporary convention roll
Advantage for Taft Seen.
Past surveys have shown in
dividual national committee men,
bers lean strongly toward Senator
Taft and his supporters believe
the chances are good that delega-
tions representing him may be
seated temporarily in the con-
tested States.
Any six States can force a roll

cations by appealing from the
