WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS?
Continued from preceding page

failure and Illustration shorten it.
A study of the life spans of 10000
persons conducted at Westminster
College showed that those who
had distinguished themselves in
their field of endeavor averaged
appreciably longer lives than those
who had not.
As to why this should be. psy-
biologists point out that morale is
an important factor so far as our
physical well-being is concerned.
And our morale is strongly inf1u-
enced by the degree to which our
efforts are crowned with success.
Medical studies all bear out the
fact that, all other factors being
equal. the more man has to live
for, the longer he's likely to live.
o: Is it true that success tends
to make people naateridlistic
and fOrgeUul Of spiritual
considerations?
A: This has frequently been
charged. But impartial evidence
strongly suggests that the oppo-
site is true. -Four nationwide sur
veys have been undertaken to
settle this point. Each was con-
Quoted by a leading public-opinion
research organization. All of them
reported identical findings: that
the percentage of church members
is highest among that group of
Americans who are the most sue
cessful; and that the lowest per-
centage is found among those who
are the least successful.
That man cannot live by bread
alone, seems to be far morep obvious
to the man who has made his mark
in the world than to the one who
hasn't. The End

in his climb toward the top that
he develops neurotic tendencies -
or even suffers a full-scale emo
tional crack-up. There are few
psychiatrists who haven't num-
bered highly successful men among
their clients. But - and this is
very significant - studies show
that the incidence of neurosis and
nervous disorders is a great deal
higher among men who fail to sue
ceed, or whose success is only medi-
Ocre.
Wholesale studies conducted at
Penn State and other leading re-
search centers have shown that the
more successful you are, the less
you are apt to be subject to mental
and emotional disturbances. The
Penn State study, which surveyed
over $4,000 persons, showed that
the lowest rates for mental break
downs are among those who have
achieved high prestige and high
income; and the highest rates were
found for those who had low pres
tige and low income.
Other Investigations bear out the
fact that successful endeavor -
the achievement of personal goals
- tends to have a beneficial effect
on mental health, while failure and
Illustration are apt to have the
opposite effect.
Q: Is it true that you're likely
to Iire longer if you're sue

of successful men who overtax
themselves to the point where they

News in Brief
Vote Sought in Fairfax
On Sewer Bond Issue

Fairfax County voters will be
asked to vote early in December
on a SITS million sewer bond
issue, even though it may take
year to solve several legal bar
rierS.
County Executive Carlton Mas
sey voiced this view last night in
a talk before the Fairfax Civic
Federation. He said he plans to
call for the referendum, despite
the snarl, as a test of public
sentiment on a countrywide
sewer system.
One question is whether the
county can contract with Alex
andria for more than one year
at time to build SO million
joint disposal plan. The State
Supreme Court must decide this
before bonds can be sold.
Another involves existence OF
Sanitary District No. /, which a
countrywide system cannot ex-
clude, but whose present SO mil
lion bonded debt must be retired
before more can be sold. Still
another is whether the bonds
should be revenue bonds or gen.
eral obligation bonds.

An Arlington policeman today

| NAACP Files Protest
IOn Atomic HirinQ
BY the Assecioted Pres.

NEW YORK, Sept. laval
ter White, secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
said last night the NAACP has
asked the Government to inves-
tigate alleged discrimination in
hiring by the Atomic Energy
Commission (AEC).
Mr.. White said a protest was
filed with President Eisenhower S
Contracts Compliance Commit
tee when that group held it's first
meeting in Washington Monday,
| The committee is charged with
seeing that nom discrimination
clauses in Government contracts
are enforced.
It has been hard for Negroes
to get jobs either at the Acc 5
big Savannah River project in
South Carolina or at smaller
atomic project at Paducah, KY,
Mr.. White said, although both
are financed by Federal funds.
An Acc spokesman in Wash
ington said he had not heard
directly about the complaint. AS
a Federal agency, he added, the
Acc follows a policy of non-dis-
elimination. He suggested that
Acc contractors might be in
volved in the dispute. but that no
statement would be made on the
matter until it is investigated.

council said, the postal service
would establish it's own civil
service system. This system
would be patterned by the indi-
vidual merit systems of such
agencies as the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority and the Atomic
Energy Commission, the group
said.
Chairman Carlson of the Sem
ate Civil Service Committee held
press conference yesterday on
this and other phases of the
councils deliberations.
Senator Carlson stressed that
the civil service proposal was not
recommendation, but merely a
proposal by some members that
the council is studying. How
ever, the fact that the proposal
was outlined in a press release
issued by Senator Carlson and
the fact that he indicated he
feels it might be a good idea
show that the council has it
under serious consideration.
Senator Carlson said those
advocating such a move feel it
would give the Post Office De-
partment more leeway in adopt
ing better personnel manage
ment practices and would per
nit it to operate with a freer
hand
The only employe representa-
tive on the 11-member council
is William Doherty, president OF
the AFL National Association OF
Letter Carriers. Mr.. Doherty
was not available for comment,
but other postal leaders said
they would be extremely reluc-
tant to support action to take
postal jobs out of civil service.
Their greatest fears are that
this could lead to widespread
political patronage and leopard
ize the jobs of many postal
workers.
On the other hand. Senator
Carlson pointed to such nom
civil service agencies as IVA
and Acc where strict merit sys-
tenn prevails. The IVA often is
cited as the model merit system
agency. despite the fact that it
is not covered under the regular
civil service system.
What is disturbing to en-
ploye leaders is that taking the
postal jobs from civil service
would mean the removal of the
largest single bloc of civil serv-
ice jobs in the Government. The
Evening star., 1953-09-18

Post Office Department is the
largest agency in the Federal
service, and removal of the
$4,000 positions would put d
sizable dent in the number of
Federal jobs under civil service.
At his press conference, Sena-
tor Carlson emphasized that no
immediate action is contem-
plated and that any proposal
that will be made will be care
fully considered by the commit
tee as whole.

LEAVE USE-The Civil Serv-
ice Commission has issued new
regulations that will give some
departing employees more of a
chance to use their unused an
nual leave of a current year.
Under the previous system
agencies could extend reduc-
toni n-force notices to en-
ployes only for a maximum of
80 days. Under the commits
Sions new order, the RIFF
notices can be extended past 90
days to permit employees to use
unused leave for current year.
The change was made be-
cause of the new leave law.
which does not permit cash pay
ment for unused leave of a cur
rent year. The Controller Gen
eral, in interpreting the new
law, said departing employees
may be given paid vacations for
unused leave for current year,
but that agencies are not re-
quired to do so in emergency
cases.
The commissions new regula-
tions are designed to give en-
ployes the opportunity to remain
long enough on the rolls to use
up their unused leave.
