Hard Work and Long Hours
Are Duck Soup to Gaquin

Mo n t go m e r y personnel
chief John P. Gaquin got in
the habit of working seven
days a week, SO weeks a
year, IL years ago and he's
still at it.
Gaquin, whose official title is
personnel assistant to the coun-
ty manager, started his Eager
beaver" stint after graduating
from Boston University in Au.
gust, 1949. One month later, he
entered Boston University Law
School.
At night, and on weekends,
he tended bar and waited on
tables in restaurants; and in the
summer months, he attended
Boston University Graduate
School.
II didn't get much Sleep" he
admitted, "but l learned lot.
Besides, 1 was young. Also, l
can mix anything anybody
wants in the way of potables."
He kept up this stiff routine
for two years, after which he
decided to concentrate on his
graduate work and left law
school,.
Now, the 37-year-old Gaquin
maintains a 60-hour week and
you can frequently find him in
his office at night-that is, when
he isn't attending meetings.
Likes Job
Il guess l just like my job"
he said.
A native of Boston, Gaquin
was graduated from the Massa.
chusetts Radio School and i'm
medlately went into the Army.
While in the service, he was in
military intelligence.
After his discharge in 1916,
he enrolled at Boston University
where he took many personnel
courses. AS part of his grad
uate work in public administra-
ton, Gaquin spent three months
in the city managers office in
Quincy, Mass. There, he assisted
in revising the classification and
pay structure of all municipal
employees, including school ad-
ministrators.
He came to Montgomery
County in 1851 as personnel
aide. He was attracted to the
county, he explained, because
of its reputation as one of the
most progressive governmental
areas in the United States. The

Under former county manager

all departments, including the
Board of Education.
At that time, there were about
600 county employees. Now there
are slightly over 1000.
AS personnel assistant, it is

right answer in the right way

Timing and method in carry

very important, he pointed out.
Frequently, it is more desirable
to take longer to do something
in order to gain both official
and public acceptance.

Michiko Beers Son,
Second in japan Line

TOKYO. Feb. %. (AP).-
Crown Princess Michiko gave
birth today to a healthy,
5-pound 9-ounce son who be-
came second in the line of
succession to the japanese
throne.
The baby is the first child
born to Crown Prince Akihito
and the daughter of the COM
moner flour manufacturer he
married last April 10.
The birth had not been ex-
pected for another week. 1t
came four days after a second
son was born to Queen Eliza
beth II of Britain.
Akihito, eldest son of EN-
peror Hirohito and Empress
Nagako, is 26. Michiko is 25.
An announcement said both
mother and child were we'll.
The Princess began having
faint labor pains late last night
at the suburban Togu Palace,
where she and Akihito live.
She entered the imperial
household hospital at 1:50 am,
and the baby was born IA hours
and Is minutes later.
The delivery was described
as natural" apparently mean
ing without artificial aid of
any type.
The young father, in ac-
cordance with tradition, waited
at his home 5 miles from the
hospital. At news of the birth,
he rushed to the hospital to
see his son and his wife.
Meanwhile, the first tradi-
tional ceremony for the infant
had taken place. A Samurai
sword was presented to the
baby as a symbol of his duty
to defend the nation.

The Supreme Court today
upheld the right of labor unions
to conduct slowdowns and en-
gage in other on-the-job har-
assing tactics during negotia-
tions for a new wage contract.
The 6-3 decision dealt a Sc
we're jolt to the National Labor
Relations Board, which has held
that such actions constitute a
refusal to work in good faith.
The board had appealed a
decision in a case involving
agents of the Prudential In
Surance Company of America
who had staged a showdown
during 1856 contract negotia-
tionS.
Their tactics had included
refusing to write new insurance
policies, to work scheduled
hours or to make out required
reports.
The NLRB had argued that
Supreme Court approval of the
lower court rulings that there
was nothing illegal about such
tactics would encourage other
unions to resort to similar prac-
tices.
The high court said it is up
to Congress to change present
labor laws if it wants such
harassing practices defined as
failure to bargain in good faith.
Congress has demonstrated
its capacity to adjust the Ma
tion's labor legislation to what,
in its legislative Judgment, con-
stitutes the statutory pattern
appropriate to the developing
state of labor relations in the
country" the court said.
Justice Brennan delivered
the majority opinion. Justices
Frankfurter, Harlan and Whit
taker favored sending the case
back to the NLRB for further
evidence on the question of
whether the insurance agents
were bargaining in good faith
despite the showdown.
The Supreme Court said the
NLRB had "an erroneous view
of collective bargaining" in its
condemnation of the harassing
tactics.

ministration has made public
the amount of assistance going
