By DONALD B. HADLEY

j. Willard Marriott was offered
81 million cash with which to
expand his young chain of Hot
Shoppes back in the sos. but he
took his time and finally took
only $500, 900 of it gradually.
The million was offered by an
old friend of Mr. Marriott, the
late Earl Sans. for many years
president and board chairman OF
j. c. Penney Co. Both men came
from Utah and Mr.. Sans, who
made a great name In retailing,
admired his young Washington
friend.
MIR. Marriott was cautious
about accepting money until con-
fident it could be paid back. He
accepted the first of it in 1887.
When the company made its first
public stock offering IN 1858, it
had redeemed all but around
$4,000 of the preferred stock
which Mr.. Sans received for his
money. The remainder was ex-
changed for 5 per cent debenture
notes and by last July 81 these
had been reduced to SGT 500. Mr.,
Sans picture has an honored
place In Mr.. Marriott's office.
Big Cash Balance Cited
In Barlow Address
The money which Mr.. Sans
furnished for Hot Shoppes ex-
pansion was noted briefly yester-
day by Milton A. Barlow. vice
president and treasurer Of Hot
Shoppes. Inc, in an address De-
fore the Washington Society of
Investment Analysts at the Occi-
dental Restaurant. Details never
told before were supplied later
by others.
However, Mr.. Barlow empha-
sized the extremely conservative
policies followed in the rapid ex-
pansion of his firm. He pointed
to the large cash balance Of the
company, which came to nearly
SIS million on July 81 and to
more than IS million of earned
surplus,
He also disclosed the company
now operates go restaurants. a
gain of 10 since the end Of the
fiscal year last July 81. However.
he said opening of Hot Shoppes
on the New York Thruway had
been delayed.
Two snack bars have been
operating for q year and two
permanent restaurants will be
opened this month. 1T probably
will be a year or longer before
all of the seven contemplated
restaurants viii be OPEN" he
said.
Stands Next to Army
As User Of Filet Steaks
He listed a number of factors
contributing to the success of
the food chain. including special
ties such as twin filet mignons. ]
He reported that Hot ShoppesI
had become the biggest users of
f1let steaks in the United States,
except for the Army.
"Another success factor has
been the children's and family
menus" he said. I'VE regard the
housewife as our biggest COM.
petitor and II we can get her out
OF the kitchen, our success will
be assured"
THE manager Of the individ-
ual Hot Shoppe is an extremely
important man in the organiza-
ton and we have provided good
working conditions and incentive
pay to keep him on his toes" he
said. I'VE have given much at
tention to working conditions for
all employees and it is extremely
gratifying that we have MANY

than 500 different kinds of jobs
At present, our land-grant colleges
are turning out $500 young men
and women each year in agricul-
tural sciences. That's $500 trained
persons to fill $4,000 jobs. or about
two futures for every agricultural
graduate.
Dean Worrilow gives these rea-
sons why college training in agri-
culture offers great opportunities
Research programs already plan
ned by state experiment stations
and the. U. S. Department of Agri-
culture will need 10000 more
trained agricultural scientists by
1860.
Many of agriculture's problems
require men trained in agricultural
engineering. AS an illustration, the
farm equipment industry can use
1000 additional men year for the
next few years; the farm building
industry, 1,500 a year; and the
water and irrigation engineering
industry, about $50 men during the
same period.
Conservation estimates indicate
that more than 5000 new agricul-
tural graduates can find jobs in
the agricultural business field each
year.
