Ruling REEVES
SuitAgainstU.S.

The Government was neeii.
gent In allowing Q slack electric
cord to lie across an ONCE en-
trance with no warning Of the
hazard, the United States Court
Of Appeals for the District Of
Columbia ruled yesterday in q
split 2-to-l opinion.
The ruling revived Q 42a5, 0OO|
damage suit brought by Henry
B. Deane and his wife, Kathleen.
as Q result Of leg injuries suf-|
fered by Mr.. Deane when be-
tripped over the cord.
The mishap occurred about
four years ago In the United
States Customs Bureau office.
then In the wilkins Building.
The injured leg subsequently
was amputated.
Visiting Judge Sherman Chris.
tianSen, In the q. s. District
Court for the District Of Column
bia had ruled In favor Of the
Government and had found Mr..
Deane was negligent.
Yesterdays majority opinion,
written by Chief Judge Henry
w. Edgerton with the concur.
renee Of Judge David L. Baze.
Ion. said In part:
I'VE think 1t Is clearly negli-
gent to let o slack electric cord
lie on the floor across the en-
trance to Q public ONCE during
business hours, with no warn
ing either printed or oral. We
think 1t clearly not negligent
for q visitor to fail to discover
and avoid this extraordinary
hazard" Further proceedings
consistent with the opinion were
ordered.
Dissenting. Judge Walter M.
Bastian pointed out the trial
Judge had heard the wisnesses,
made a personal inspection Of
the ONCE and had concluded
that. not only was the Govern
ment not negligent, but that Mr..
Deane had not used reasonable
care for his own safety. The
trial courts ruling was clearly
correct" Judge Bastian declared.

the 'blankety- blank giveaway
program Oh, how wish / could
have that clarity of vision In
dealing with these complex ques-
tons that comes to the gentle
men at the third highball."
Chester Davis Quoted
An equally popular hobby
among successful businessmen is
Monday Morning quarterback
ing" (that infuriating Il told
you so" attitude). In the words
of Chester r. Davis, a former
banker who is now an Assist
ant Secretary of the Army:
Businessmen must actively
help plot our country's course,
This requires utilizing our bust
ness facilities; our moral sup
port; and most important, our
individual talents and services
Otherwise, there is no excuse
when we end Up on the outside
looking in!"
Despite such pious pleas-and
even the pieties are rare-the
fact remains: It's awfully tough
to recruit first-rate men, par
ticularly from the sphere OF
business and finance.
One factor, Of course. is money
A president Of a major corpora
ton commands well over $500, 600
a year today; an executive vice
president commands $4,000 to
$85 900. A cabinet member gets
SIS, 900; an undersecretary OF
head Of key bureau gets $21 ,00O
to $4,000.
Other factors are the nuisance
of leaving home and the job
routine. fear of losing out to
competitors during the absence,
plain failure to see the duty and
responsibility.

Whose Fault Is III?

One OF the most informed
Wall Street Republicans I know
was sounding Of at lunch tn,
other day about what he called
"the unbelievably bad record
the United States Treasury ha!
made in the last couple Of
years on managing the nationa
debt.
Il can give you example after
example to prove it," said he
but what's the use. Those boy!
live In an ivory tower and won't
come out Of it. What the Secre.
tary of the Treasury ought tt
have at his elbow is a man whit
really knows markets, who car
gauge them accurately and whit
isn't afraid to face the facts o.
life"
why don't you go down ant
offer your own services for {
year or two?" ! asked mildly
you know as much about Gov.
eminent finance as anybody IL
the Street.
His reaction was instructive
"Oh mol couldn't possibly leav'
my firm"
My reaction was just as quick
do you know any other 'prac,
teal expert in a position com.
parable to yours who wouldn'
say the same thing? Let's name
names-and you tell me on,
who wouldn't argue that h,
can't afford to take a leave o.
that he can't be spared"
