TALKING OF BUSINESS
D. BoIlouf Co. Has Helped Perfect
Inventors BroinchiIdren Since1855
BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star Stan Writer

SNNA SN-A "AANNA
1t was during World War II
and the burly Marine oficer
stood before the desk, holding
out an American hand grenade.
THE trouble with these
things" he beloved, "is that
the Japs catch them and throw
'em back at us before they
explode! Can you do anything
about it?"
Thomas E. Hayes looked over
the ugly little weapon and
nodded. Cant guarantee, but
we'll try" he said. Result: A
grenade that would explode
after five seconds, or go OF If
anyone was foolish enough to
catch it before then.
Developing and perfecting
inventions is the main occupa-
ton of D. Ballauf Manufac-
turing Co., Inc, in Washington.
AS president, Mr.. Hayes has
seen some zany inventors walk
in the door. but he maintains
an open mind toward them all.
We're not sitting here as
judge" he says. IF a man
brought in a plan for a per-
petual motion machine and
asked us to make it, we'd 60
ahead on our usual hourly
cost basis"
Worked for Bell, Edison
Since its establishment in
1855 by Daniel Ballauf, the
firm has made ancient breech-
loading rifles and streetcar fare
registers, Reno roulette wheels,
and combination gadgets that
can open beer cans as well as
Scrape fish scales.
1t has produced devices on
special order for Alexander
Graham Bell and Thomas A.
Edison. It fabricated the first
steel golf club. Today its cli-
entS read like a Who's Who in
electronics, space and rocketry:
Vitro Laboratories, Litton In.
dustrieS, U. S. /. Robodyne, and
several Navy weapons depart
mentS.
Surprisingly. the Ballauf Co.
doesn't have one engineer on
its payroll. It farms out work
to engineering firms or math
experts when necessary. Its
own work force consists of
highly skilled toolmakers and
machinists who, at q moments
notice, can shift from one in.
vention to another.
Fast Action Is Key
The ability to spin on a dime
is Ballauf's secret in competing
against big research and de-
velopment firms. The classic
example occurred on New Years
eve a couple of years ago when
a stranger showed up and
asked how fast Mr.. Hayes
could handle an emergency job
altering post office conveyor
belts.
Within a half-hour the COM
pany had swung into action. It
put men on a crash program
the next morning, finished the
job in four-and-a-half days.
The fee: $4,000. ~

Editors note: This is the
first In a series of articles
concerning the often mis-.
understood functions of the
States Department of EN-
plOyment Security
Although the Department OF
Employment Security has
marked its 25th birthday its
mandate to the public is little
understood by many persons
During the years since the
passage of the Wagner-Peyser
Act in 1888 research and eXper
fence have resulted in a wealth
of techniques, procedures and
tools which are available for
this accomplishment. A review
of the functions and activities
of an employment office seems
to be timely.
What does the general public
associate with the words EN-.
ployment Office? Unfortu.
nately, many visualize dismal
referral to some substandard
job. The local office staff, how.
ever, sees another aspect. Each
person entering the office has a
problem, an economic problem
of great import. Their faces
show a hopeful concern. OBJ
viously we cannot operate an
efficient community employ
ment center as long as anyone
pictures us in an unfavorable
light or does not have a clear
picture of the jobs we do.
First, and foremost an effec-
tive placement service is the
best proof of our worth to the
community. From the begin
ming our efforts have been di-
rected toward performing the
multiple steps required to match
workers to jobs. We cannot
have a good placement service
unless we do good job Of in
terviewing the applicant, in
order to make a careful selec-
ton before referral to the en-
ployer. Proper team work with
the employer through visits and,
job development are also an in-I
tegral part of the whole picture.
During its entire history the
public employment service has
demonstrated its ability to meet
changing conditions, and spe-
cialiZed services have been de-
veloped to meet the needs Of
certain groups Of potential
workers. The need for aptitude
testing and employment coun-
selling have become much great
er with our rapidly increasing
labor force.
