slightly impractical in the States.
@, What are some Of the best
ways 10 relax at the end Of the
work day?
A. OF course, the drink at the
end Of the day creates an excellent
atmosphere for relaxation. We
stress, too, the Importance Of not
rushing through dinner. We
would discourage stopping of at
a bar on the way home-just a
"quickie, and then on your way.
There's nothing much gained by
that. Those who do 1t have hyp-
Noticed themselves into thinking
they need 1t. They think they're
so exhausted at the end Of the
day they have to have pick me
up. That's all nonsense. No
body's that tired. The greater
part of the benefit of the drink
Is the pleasant atmosphere-to get
home, sit down with the family.
We always urge an executive not
to have his dinner for at least
20 minutes after he gets home.
And during that time to just sip
that drink slowly. Then talk over
the affairs Of the day and let the
wife do the talking; let him do
the listening.
q. You recommend this even
though q person cOmmutes by bus,
subway, or train?
A. It's home. And everything
about it tends toward relaxation.
That drink just puts the finish
ing touches to 1t. Makes it Just
right.
Q. What about the children?
Might not fathers arrival be far
from relaxing?
A. Yes. But still he wouldn't do
without that for anything in the
world. He needs and he loves 1t.
Sometimes you feel like pushing
the children away, but really you
don't want to. They add lot to
that relaxation Just before dinner.
Q. A great number Of agents
have hobbies with music as a
hobby enjoyed by q great number
Of them. Do you think music is q
good hobby for forgetting worries?
A. There's nothing better. Mu-
sic is just about the ideal thing as
q break, as q change, for relaxing.
@. II work has to be done out

better solution? To stay over or

calories. And we know that alcohol
definitely interferes with the eff1-
cheney Of mental operation. It
adds nothing to 1t and takes away
something. And that's why We dis
courage it at lunchtime.
q. II you regard alcohol as a
relaxer, do you examine many
executives who use either relaxers
or tranqullizers?
A. They're used amazingly in
frequently. In our recent study
of some 5000 executives we found
that only per cent Of these used
tranquilizers or sedatives in any
degree of regularity. that is, twice
a week or more.
@. As long as you get enough
sleep, does 1t make difference

difference.

How to Work Hard Without Killing Yourself

A. Most OF the time, to stay
over. Because then. after the
work is done. the person has a
reasonable length Of time before
going TO bed. II the work is taken
home, so many times getting to 1t
is deferred as long as possible;
and then it's the last thing that's
done before going to bed. Many
times sleep is interfered with.
There's another disadvantage to
taking work home. too. 1t makes
1t awfully easy to defer doing a
given Job. You lay II aside and
say you'll do 1t tonight. And be-
fore you know 1t, everything Is
going to be done tonight, We dis
courage the so-called briefcase-
tits. 1t is not a healthful proce-
dure and should be done only
when there's no other way out.
@. II you have TO take some
thing home, Is II better to do 1t
in the evening or get up early in
the morning TO tackle It?
A. Getting up early in the
morning, by all means. Again.
the evening work interferes with
sleep. There's a restlessness for
that first hour or two after you
turn In when you've been fussing
with things from the Office up to
bedtime. And then you know, too,
OF course, that that hour in the
morning is much more efficient as
far as production is concerned.
You get much more done one hour
earlier in the morning than SPEND
ing one hour before bedtime on 1t.
@. Should job problems be dis
cussed at home?
A. Well, that depends to a large
degree on the person with whom
it is discussed. It's hardly fair to
expose a wife to the problems Of
the day when she's in no position
to evaluate them. She doesn't
have the background. She doesn't
understand and hears only his
side. Knowing only part of it, it
worries her unduly. She is worried
because her husband is worried.
But on the other hand, there may
well be some benefit to the hus-
band from this blowing of. He
gets it out of his system. He's got
to talk about it and discuss 1t with
someone, and the wife is the log
ical one. So there probably are
some benefits, but It's not all one
way. There are some disad-
vantages, too.

Fifth Republic

French PremierACharles de Gaulle
was busily flying around France
last week urging his countrymen
to approve the proposed consti-
tuition for the Fifth Republic. The
referendum, to be held throughout
the French onion September 26
to %, is expected to be approved
easily. But opposition has been
more vigorous than predicted at
the outset of the campaign. and
Gen. de Gaulle appears to be
stressing his personal role in the
debate. Thus a vote against the
constitution would be a vote
against Gen. de Gaulle.
Anticipating the referendum,
the Algerian National Liberation
Front on Friday constituted itself
as a Provisional Government of
the Republic of Algeria. Because
Algeria is considered to be an in

Other conservatives-George Taft,
Millikin and Butler of Nebraska
are gone, and now will be followed
by Senators Knowland and Jen-
ner. Meanwhile. although con-
sentative Senator Byrd is still
chairman, the easy money" Sem
atorS-Kerr, Douglas, Gore and
Long-have increased their senior
ity and their influence.
In the House, four of the 20 Re-
publicans on the Appropriations
Committee are retiring, and they
all have been opponents Of heavy
Government spending.
More Spending?
The changes in these two COM
n1ittees could well mean more
spending on foreign aid, welfare
programs-and, of course, higher
taxes for everybody. Specifically
this could mean success, finally,
for proponents of Federal school
aid, higher and broader minimum
wage coverage, and more spend
ing for relief.
An increased Dem ocratic
strength in Congress, especially If
that strength. is buttressed by lib
erals, also would likely result in
more and more close "examina-
tion"-via pub1icly-conducted
committee hearings-int6 most Of
the Eisenhower policies. The idea
here. of course, would be to
weaken the Republicans. position
prior to the 1860 Presidential elec-
ton.
But nothing is altogether pat in
politics.
An increased number of Demo-
cratic liberals in Congress, espe-
cially if they should be violently
aggressive, might widen the chasm
between the Southern Democrats
and their colleagues from other
sections.
The likely results of this pos
sibility in presidential election
year are about as clear as his
tory could make them.

Edmund Muskie in the Maine
Senate race, these Democrats have
gained a voice. OF course, Sena-
tor-to-be Muskie will differ in
no way from his predecessor,
Republican Senator Payne, in his
approach to civil rights matters,
but Muskie will have a voice in the
all-important, policy-making DEM
ocratic caucus. And other successes
this fall by Democrats from out
side the South will further add to
the shift of the balance of Demo-

There was considerable concern
over whether high school seniors

Chambers Of commerce had

Congress to Be More Liberal
After November Elections
By DAVID KOONCE
Star Stan Writer

The upcoming Eighty-sixth Con-
gress, converting here next Janu-
airy, will be less conservative, more
liberal, than any Congress since
the days of the New Deal.
This already can be said with
certainty because:
. OF the seven Senators (all Re-
publicans) and AZ Representatives
. 81 Republicans and IL Demo-
crats) who are either retiring, have
died in the past Congress or have
been defeated in primaries or the
Maine election, most are conserva-
tives.
. OF the 81 Republicans facing
reelection this year, eight can be
closely identified with the old-line
conservative wing Of their party.
These make UP just about half Of
what is left of the powerful G.. o. p.
conservative group, which num-
bered Is ten years ago. In five of
these eight contests, Democrats
are given a decided advantage.
Most notable among the retiring
Republican conservatives is Sena-
tor William F. Knowland of Cali
fornia, the minority header and
a protege of the late Senator
Robert A. Taft. Both of the men
seeking Senator Knowland's seat,
Democratic Representative Clair
Engle and Republican Gov. Good
. win Knight, are far to the left Of
the rightwing position where Sem
ator Knowland has always stood.
Others retiring include Senator
Jenner of Indiana, the old pal Of
. the late Senator Mccarthy, and
Senator Edward Martin of Penn
sylvania, a stalwart fiscal conserv-
alive.
House Members Retiring
In the House, most of the Re-
publicans who are not seeking
reelection come from the con-
sentative wing. They include Rep
resentatives Scudder Of Cali
fornia, Nicholson of Massachusetts,
O'Hara of Minnesota, Latham,
Gwinn and Radwan of New York;
Kruger of North Dakota, eleven
ger and jenkins of Ohio, and
James of Pennsylvania.
Only seven Senate Democrats
outside the safe" South face re-
election this year, and only one
of these seven, Senator Proxmire
of Wisconsin, is running into any
real trouble.
The significance of the growing
weakness of the conservatives and
the increasing strength Of the
liberals is great, and it has mean
ing far beyond mere realignment
of political strength in Congress.
For one thing. any real gain for
Democratic liberals may finally
free them and their whole party
in Congress from the historic
domination by Southern conserva-
tives. This, of course, will inn
prove their chances of amending

It's a break in the monotony Of the

Though coffee itself is stimulating,
you get just about as much bene-

there can be a little friendly inter-
course with the other crowd, a

benefit of the coffee break.

a. No, in every job there are
certain Objectionable features.
There is no job that's perfect,
where you're just doing what you
want to do when you want to do it.
You've got to accept the little an
noyances. They're just as much a
part of the job and Just as impor-
tant as making decision on some
thing they're going to buy. And
the big thing is to have them &C
cept and not resent them. Resent

A. No, there isn't a better thing.

them. Others will keep it within

we should discourage is to allow
the person who blows of to use
these annoyances as an excuse TO

by the fact they are under tension

The decline, the first in two

Gathering Storm

There are mounting signs that the
Presidents press conference effort In
behalf Of Sherman Adams marked the
beginning, not the end, of the political
storm which threatens to engulf the
Eisenhower administration. And the
darkest clouds are building up in Re-
publican rather than Democratic areas.
The Democrats, OF course, are going
to have their field day, and 1t doesn't
matter much to them whether Mr..
Adams goes or stays. II anything, they
probably would prefer to have him stay,
for that will help keep alive their own
version of the mess in Washington"
theme. With the Republicans, this is a
horse of quite a different color. They
know that the Adams affair has hurt.
And they would like to cut their losses.
There was substantial evidence Of
this in the meeting here this week of
the G. o. p. State chairmen. Very few
had anything to say in Mr.. Adams de-
tense. Half dozen came out in the
open and said that he should 60. Most
of the others, while probably sharing
this view privately, preferred to wait for
a while to see what happens.
Most significant is the statement
from Senator Knowland, who, until yes
terday, had remained silent. While he
did not call for Mr.. Adams resignation,
the Republican Senate leader said the
Presidents aide had made "a mistake
in judgment" and that the question
now is whether Governor Adams has
so hurt his usefulness in his position
that it will be harmful to the broad
policies which the President will have
to carry out in the remaining two years
of his administration" From this, 1t
seems obvious that the California Sena-
tor thinks Mr.. Adams usefulness has
been seriously impaired and that the
Presidents program will suffer If he is
kept in office.
Senator Knowland refrained from
mentioning the other side of this coin.
But 1t is there nevertheless. He must
wage an uphill fight this year for the
California governorship, and he does not
want to assume the added burden Of
trying to defend the Adams perform
ance. And If this is true of Senator
Knowland, as we believe, 1t will also be
true of every other Republican who
must face the voters this fall
So the storm, we think, is gathering
and not subSiding. 1t is possible, though
certainly not probable, that Mr.. Adams
will be able to ride it out. But 1t will
not take much to blow him out of the
White House. Just one more headline
catching disclosure by the Harris sub
committee probably would do 1t.
