The Real Boss
Is The Customer

Sometimes it is forgotten, but
every worker in American in
dustry has but one real boss.
His real boss is the customer
who provides the money for his
pay check.
To keep one average job holder
at work in the following indus
tries. here is what surveys indi-
cate customers must do each year:
Soap Take six million baths
Steel -.... Use 10000 tin cans
Gasoline Drive a million miles
Stockings w Wear 1900 pairs
Refrigerators - Buy 80 new ones
II his boss, the customer,
doesn't like what he produces, or
IL someone else in the same kind
Of job in another company does
his job better. a worker can be
fired" by the customer.
This is the core Of our free en-
terprise system. Competition is
created, which puts more and
better products more cheaply into
American homes.

Negroes and whites must grow

The split Of the second from the

over the lack Of lay representation

IL Il evidently true that the mer-

without the jurisdietional confer

southern speakers in the debate on
Wednesday referred to jurisdic-

race was not the primary eonsidera-

The writer believes that the
principal reason was 10 maintain
the doctrine and practice Of state
