The first principle is that the
pressure of work should never be
allowed to interfere with ones
regular vacation time; in fact, any
additional burden of work makes
a reStful vacation all the more
imperative.
For most people, period Of
at least two consecutive weeks is
essential to enable them to relax as
completely as their natures permit.
(Since we are all individualists and
should be tolerant Of one another's
tastes, it would be presumptuous
of me to recommend that each
reader spend his vacation near a

Change Of Scenery
| HIS does not mean that one
should spend his vacation at home.
A change Of scenery is an aid to
recreation, and most Of US will
probably enjoy our vacations more
if we can get away from the people
with whom we associate during
the rest Of the year.
Some husbands and wives even
believe that their vacations should
include a vacation from each other

suicide attempt.

Insurance Men Back
Public Accounting

Two insurance firm executives
today Endorsed the idea of public
accountings for union welfare
funds and advised against legis-
lation which would hinder their
growth. g.
Their views were set forth in
testimony prepared jointly for
a Senate Labor subcommittee by
c. Manton Eddy, vice president
and secretary of the Connecticut
General Life Insurance Co., Hart
ford Conn, and Gilbert w.
Fitzhugh. second vice president
of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Co., New York.
The subcommittee opens today
a series of hearings on operations
of union welfare and pension
Mr.. Eddy and Mr.. Fitzhugh
said in their statement:
Your subcommittee prelim-
mary investigation has without
question disclosed abuses in some
of the % specific union welfare
cases studied. We do feel that
this is not characteristic of in
sured welfare programs. The
abuses which have been found
are in contrast to the ethical
standards which prevailed in the
establishment and administra-
ton of most employe welfare
funds -.
THE life insurance business
supports the general proposal of
public disclosure of the essential
details of union welfare pro-
grams. Public disclosure ). can
be an effective detergent to those
who would violate their trust.
These plans must be per-
mitted to grow with the needs Of
the workers. Therefore, we Sc
riously caution against restric-
tive legislation that would tend
to discourage growth"
Chairman Douglas, Democrat,
of Illinois said the subcommittee
has held preliminary hearings
behind closed doors lin an effort
to conduct an ethical investiga-
ton" All five members pledged
they would not discuss this tes-
timony in advance of the public
hearings, Senator Douglas said.
