SCHENECTADY. N. Y. May
2 (NANA) Does our economy
retire men too early, losing
vitality needed skill? The an
swer to that holly debated
question might be "yes" in this
upstate manufacturing center
An engineering firm started
by three retired" General
Electric engineers recently cele-
brated its 10th birthday. The
organization they founded "in
retirement" has paid 81 mil
lion in wages, taxes and divi-
dends and has harneSSed the
skills of 125 pensioned-off tech
nicians.
The corporation, Mohawk
Development Services, dedi-
Gated to providing employment
for retired workmen, became a
reality in 1948 when GE an
nounced it was farming out
some design and drafting work
to out-of town firms.
Rounding up so available
craftsmen living on Social Sc
curity and industrial pensions,
the three engineers successfully
bid for their first contract. 1t
wasn't long before Mohawk's
top drawer performance won
more drafting subcontracts.
No Job Too Tough
No job is too tough for Mo-
haw's staff. They have handled
work in the field of attenuation
or atomic power as casually as
routine plans for steam and
electric power equipment.
While most of the drafting
assignments Mohawk picks up
are overloads at G-E and other
local plants, it has handled
long-term assignments, too.
Until recently, 10 men were
busy on a single atomic power
project for several years.
Much of Mohawk'S work re-
lates to defense jobs. Accord
ing to Ray Stearns, company
president. it is considering
further expansion, a we'll
equipped machine shop, but so
far has not been able to solve
the investment problem.
Nominal Work Week
Nominally, the work week at
Mohawk is 40 hours, but for a
variety of reasons it is actually
a good deal more flexible. The
workload fluctuates and en-
ployes sometimes want shorter
schedules and longer vacations
for travel and hobbies.
Management is never incon-
venienced, because Schenecta-
dy's supply of craftsmen over
65 always exceeds the demand
Layoffs when Subcontracts run
out result in few hardships-
most of the men have pensions
and all are on Social Security.
The community is happy with
what has been accomplished.
Additional wages are kept in
the city and there is no call for
public assistance or county
funds for retireeS at Mohawk.

We do not for one minute under

analyst and forecaster, Sam

liar survey by means of per-
sonal interviews with a rep
resentative sampling of work
ers and their wives in typical
worker neighborhcods in key
industrial centers. His find.
ings, as summarized in the
first of a series OF newspaper
articles, were substantially the
same as those of Congress
man Chamberlain.
STRONG FEELING
Mr.. Lubell, who enjoys an
enviable reputation for hon.
est and objective reporting,
says that in all his years OF
surveying voter feeling he
has never found the desire for
wage-price stability as strong
as it is running in the coun-
try today. The overwhelming
majority of the workers he
interviewed in Chicago, Cleve-
land, Pittsburgh and Detroit

told him "they were willing
to forego higher wages If
prices and living costs can
be held stable"
II would BE- foolish, Of
course, TO attach too much
importance TO the findings Of
these two opinion surveys.
for The number Of workers
polIed or interviewed WAS, Of
necessity, enthusiastically
small In relation 10 the total
number Of wage ssrners In
The United States.
Moreover, it is quite pos
sible that the same workers
might have given different or
even contradictory answers
to identically the same ques-
tions asked in a different
context by a different set Of
pollsters. This is no reflec.
ton on the competence and
integrity of Congressman
Chamberlain and Mr.. Lubell.
