Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-28

With no sound of rallying
trumpets or onward and up
ward oratory, most Of Amer
ica's large corporations are
engaged in a program of max
I ing 1t proper" even FASH
ionable," to be in politics.
That is to say. they are
making it clear to their ex-
ecutives, especially those
classified as junior, that be-
ing an active participant in
community political organi-
zation is one Of the desirable
attributes of the modern
young executive. Those who
are not SO interested will be
viewed as not well rounded or
adjusted.
This does not mean, Of
course, that American COR
porations are seeking to
develop a set Of political
bosses or, for that matter,
ward heelers. But they are
hoping to have their en-
ployes, particularly the junior
executives. become active as
voters and as members of
com m unity organizations
which do chores such as en-
couraging people to register
and which ring doorbells in
behalf of the candidates of
their choice.
This quiet. though by no
means secret, program seeks
to reverse an old attitude that
people in business should vote,
If they felt like it, but should
neither discuss politics nor
assume a public partisan role.
lest they offend a potential
customer.
What business does not
wish to do is to make it

shake hands.
The South responded with
compliments all around. So
long as its Republicans do
not commit themselves, it is
certain that Gov. Rockefeller
is not out of the race. When
they do so act, it might be
very revealing.

lief of oil people that the present
Pickens field opened s e
years ago by Carter Oil Co.,

ting a certain amout of oil from
another pool which lies nearby

in 1899, several test wells were
drilled in Holmes COUNT but no
