Such trading as was allowed was
hedged about by q mass Of taxes,
duties and regulations.
After years Of such narrowing
and punitive treatment, the Brit
ish were glad to trade their entire
properties against estrcnomic ''lia-
bilities" they had incurred to the
Chinese government. The deal US
ually included exit visas for their
stats, who were forbidden to leave
the country until all outstanding
claims had been settled.
Even today, the STATS Of the two
British-owned banks with assets
still left in China cannot leave the
country until their requirements
arrive, although years have passed
since a bank clerk made q single
entry in 9 ledger.
"China cannot afford to let for
eign businessmen wander around
correcting propaganda stories they
put over against the West" says
Mr.. Collar.
Foctors Behind Decision
While the China hands may won
der at the clamor to do business
with the Reds again. the govern
ment in Britain Is faced with q
number Of factors that cannot be
ignored.
Though Mao has staked all on
reviving agriculture in Red China,
even at the expense of industry,
industrialization of the country is
proceeding rapidly. II Britain is
forbidden by collective agreement
to supply goods in one Of her ira
ditional markets, other countries,
willing to make an opportunist
dollar. will certainly step in.
Switzerland is already providing
Red China with large tilrbo -gener-
ators. machine tools and precision
instruments. Sweden and Western
Germany are exporting electrical
equipment and ball bearings, and
the japanese, by ingenious use Of
the exceptions" procedure, are get
ting round difficulties Of supplying
tractors, machine tools and va
riety Of other goods to China. The
catalogue is long and depressing to
a nation that lives on its exports.
But this is by no means the end.
British businessmen say that the
discrepancy between the Russian
and the Chinese lists of forbidden
goods has been used by the Russians
to make sure that the Chinese mar
ket is closed forever to the British.
The Russians are eager to buy
from Britain machinery Of which
they have q plentiful supply. They
in turn export to Red China their
own machines. China must then
turn to Russia for spares" says Mr..
Collar. They get foothold in the
market from which they viii be
difficult to GUST"
Will They Pay?
Trade can. Of course, flourish only
If the customer pays for the goods
he orders and the final question
still to be decided is whether, If
the Chinese. by lightly yelled meth
DDS, have appropriated one set Of
British-owned assets, they win not
be tempted to default as soon as
they have taken delivery Of valuable
capital goods.
Experience Of the Russian trading
methods is being taken as q guide
by some British businessmen. While
the Soviets have consistently ig-
nored British claims for property
stolen when the Reds killed the
Car. they have punctilliously paid
all commercial debts they have
contracted in trading operations
themselves.

WILMINGTON, Del.-There is q
special kind Of loneliness reserved
for pinnacles. For the chief Of
state. for the supreme army COM
mander, the captain Of q ship, the
president Of q big corporation, the
highest man on the totem pole, the
ultimate authority, the last word
the boss.
It is the loneliness OF response
bility compounded by a very
human factor common to the BIG
majority Of US who are not boss
It is called ego. You have it when
you start as ONCE boy. You still
have 1t when you become boss.
But who" asks the head of one
Of the worlds mightiest corpora

does. whom can the boss believer"
Do not weep. This is not pity

earns more than $500, 900 a year,
Nor did the boss In this case seek
sympathy or volunteer his senti-
ments. He simply anwered a re-
porter's questions.
A Feet Of One Life
But 1t is q fact-not overwhelm-
ing or ever-present--but still q fact
In the life Of Crawford H. Greene
walt. president Of q promising
organization known as E. /.
du Point DeNemours q Co., which,
II 1t were for sale, would cost you
at least $0.5 billion. It Is not for
sale. Neither is Greenewalt's Job.
Still, when q man climbs that
high. he can't help noticing that
the air is thin, the space for foot
ing is limited, and q credible pat
on the back has to come from his

It would be misleading to dwell
over long on this because Greene
walt neither looks nor acts like a
frustrated man. At 81. he is
youthful. trim, handsome, gray and
distinguished. His manner sug-
gests serenity and quiet optimism.
How's Your TroehiIidoerophy?
To fill such emotional voids as
exist in his busy business life
Greenewalt plunges into his hob
bies with the thirst Of an amateur
and the thoroughness Of a scien-
list. Right now any salesman seek

organizing office employees. Labor
leaders say they firmly believe the
long-range outlook is for the union
ization Of white-collar workers on
a scale exceeding that Of craft and
industrial labor today. Campaign
plans will be kept polished and
ready for action.
Stanley H. Ruttenberg, AFL-CIO
research director. predicts. "The
day will come when the white coll
lar workers will become the largest.
single organized group Of workers
in America"
Chonee Of Stotus
The reason for this long-range
optimism is based on several fac
tors. The biggest argument is that
men who work in Offices no longer
enjoy a great economic advantage
over those who toll in factories and
that factory workers owe their i'm
proved status to the unions.
United Auto Workers President
Walter Reuter- says, THE white
collar workers now are on the short
end in actual take-home pay. !.
There are plants in almost every
big corporation where the sweeper
under a union contract is getting a
higher take-home pay than cleri-.
cal worker in the front Office"
Unions look to the trend toward
automation for an assist in the Or
ganizing of salaried workers. The
AFL-CIO already has its eye on
Offices Of industrial plants where
increasing numbers Of white collar
workers are needed to feed the new
electronic monsters the necessary
little pieces Of paper. set UP pro-
grams and the like. The organizers
say this development presages a
drift toward more Office employees
and fewer production workers. A
few Of the former have been Or
ganized in industrial plants, but
not on any large scale.
Union strategists also are looking
optimistically at the Offices Of the
large banks, insurance and finance
companies. That's because in these
establishments great numbers Of
white collar workers service ma
chimes in o routine way. The union
call it a factory-type operation in
an office.
Little Contact With Boss
AS q practical matter, it's easier
to organize where workers are
concentrated. In addition such EN-
ployes are likely to be more union
minded. labor professionals contend.
Unlike workers in small offices,
these people have little contact
with the boss and need a union TO
speak for them. the argument goes.
One reason office workers have
given for their resistance to unions
Is that they expect to be part Of
management one day. The ernploye
who works on a machine all day
doesn't have much Of a feeling Of
identity with management or much

demonstrated during the Hungarian

On the other hand the Kremlin
may reach the conclusion that dis

wiser than trying to keep them
down.
Adenouer Holds Firm
One path to Soviet sponsorship
Of German unification might be
greater maneuverability in West
German foreign policy. which
seems to be q probable outcome
Of Mr.. Adenauer's retirement from
the political scene. Soviet accommo-
dalton might be mirrored. for
instance, in willingness to jettison
demands for retention Of social

distasteful to West German busi-
ness interests. It win be recalled
that during the interwar period.

years 1934-1939. Communist Russia
demonstrated capacity for polit-
ical collaboration with anti-Com-
munist German governments.
All in all. the greatest obstacle
to q German-Soviet uniflcation ac-
cord Is the question Of territorial
settlement. but even this point con-
ceivably could be worked out with
Polish compliance. Anticipatory to
Soviet-West German negotiations.
Poland, beset with economic coll
lapse and revolution. might be
pressured into concluding o terri
torial settlement with East Ger
many. In return for the cession Of
German territory now under Polish
adminiStration-Pomerania, West
Prussia. and Lower Silesia--Mos-
COW might compensate Poland with

Such q Soviet-sponsored settle

vice that East and West Germany

Chino Hands Get Out
The Old White Suits

On Thursday Great Britain
decided to part company with
the United States on the issue
of trade NTH Red China and
resume its dealings Nth the
Communist government. Here
Is a report on reaction in London
commercial circles By a British
newspaper and magazine iUriter.
BY ROBERT JACKSON
LONDON.-Britain's old China
hands who. after a lifetime in the
Orient representing British trading
concerns. are now idle and some
what penurious, are checking the
state Of the white drill suits that
once were their daily uniforms.
With some misgivings, they are
getting ready to 60 back on the
commercial firing line and try to
rebuild at least a miniature version
Of Britain's once tremendous China
trade.
At the end Of the Korean war,
IS nations-all the members of
NATO excepting Iceland and Japan
set UP the China Committee to
keep under review questions Of
trading with countries Of the Com
munist bloc.
Countries of the free world, look
ing ahead, had already drawn up a
list of $50 items Of strategic value"
in which trade was forbidden with
either Russia or her satellites.
But the list of goods banned
from Mao Tse-tung's Red China
was far more stringent. 1t con-
tanned q list Of $50 items, the ex-
port Of which was forbidden, with
out qualification. Now Britain plans
to apply the shorter Soviet list to
China.
Old China hands have little cause
to harbor friendly feelings Of any
sort toward the Communists in
China. Before Mao rose to power,
the British had. over the years,
built up assets worth $500 million.
They were the bankers, the oil
men and the import agents. They
ran public utilities and the factories
turning out textiles, paint, tobacco,
beer and chemicals.
Apart from the heavy industries
which the japanese set up in Man
churia. on which the Russians often
cast envious eyes. the British pro-
vided China with most of her
technicians and many Of the plants
that gave the Chinese their manu-
featured goods.
Now" said Mr.. H. ]. Collar. once
q chemical man in China and at
present secretary Of the China As
ISOLATION in London, Practically
everything has gone down the
drain" The only substantial Brit
ish commercial interest left in Red
China is a knitting wool factory.
Ieeor Acquisition
The Reds in China have acquired
British business interests in q legal
MISUNDERSTANDING to their own
lights. They placed restrictions on
trading but forbade companies to
reduce their stats to meet changed
conditions. Heavy fines were i'm
posed for non compliance with new
business laws of which the British
managers were carefully kept in
ignorance and could not possibly
have known.
It was not unusual for Chinese
inspectors" to search through a
company's records for many years
back and. discovering a document
under-stamped. charge compound
interest on the amount underpaid
at the rate Of ! per cent q day.

whose wing beats at the rate Of
SO second, has the fastest wing
motion of any bird. To stop that
action in a still photograph with
out trace Of blur is the challenge.
The western hemisphere has 800
widely scattered species of humming
birds. and Mr.. Greenewalt thus far
has Photographed 80 varities, whose
Latin names he knows as well as
the price Of Du Pont common. To
get his pictures, he and his adapta-
BILE wife, the former Margaretta
Du Pont, have Travelled as far as
Brazil, Ecuador, Cuba and Califor-
mia.
Mrs. Greenewalt was the first in
the family to become interested in
birds. But she had hardly reached
the stage Of identifying the titmouse
when her husband. seizing on her
interest. sped way beyond her. He
did SO with the characteristic ALL
out zest he once exhibited in learn
ing to play the clarinet and later
the cello. in taking up tennis at the
age Of IS. in engaging in the pho
Biography Of fresh water biology and
the time-lapse photography Of

Home for Living
The Greenewalts live in Q RAM
bling. 15-room stone house on 500
acres on a hilltop outside Of Will
mington. While smaller than some
Of the neighboring estates Of lesser
Du Pont executives, the Greenewalt
place suggests more comfort than
lavishness.
Years ago. when the house was
built, Mr.: Greenewalt specified only
one thing of the architect: That a
big. comfortable workroom be built.
not out Of sight In the basement or
attic. but on a first floor wing,
where the hobbyist could still see
and be seen by his family.
Crawford and the children were
always building something here
but. Of course. never anything use
full like fixing the broken chair"
said Mrs. Greenewalt. There were
always boats around here. most of
them never finished"
One boat was finished. to the
eternal shame Of the chief execu-
tive Of a corporation which prides
itself on careful planning and re-
search. Mr.. Greenewalt and his son
David built the boat and an engine
but when the whole thing was done,
the engine left no room for pilot or
passengers. To run 1t, they hung on
alongside in a canoe.
Lest the stockholders become
alarmed. 1t must quickly be said
that Crawford Greenewalt plans
his business life much more ac-
curately. He puts in a full day,
from about $40 to $50, working
quietly. effectively, with a mini
mum Of crisis and no buster. with
a highly respected ability to see
through and capsulize a problem
quickly.
The Committee System
The Du Point company, which
has 10 plants. $4,000 employees. and
10000 stockholders and owns %
per cent Of General Motors. is not
run by Mr.. Greenewalt alone. It
uses a committee system which has
become a model for many other
United States industries.
The nine-man executive commit
tee. Of which Mr.. Greenewalt is
chairman. corresponds to an Army's
general staff. 1t maps out the grand
strategy. leaving tactics to be exc
cuted by 10 general managers. each
