QUESTION FOR KEY WEST BUSINESS MEN: DOES SUCCESS MEAN TIME FOR CHANGE? Here is a question that any Key West business man may answer: If your business has been successful by ad- hering to what you consider sound business methods, do you think the time is ripe to experiment by making changes in those methods? Don’t you think ‘the time to make a change is not while you are successful but, in- stead, when business falls off and you strive to build it up? . : Let us step from you to a vast field of endeavor, The duPonts injected new life into General Motors 37 years ago, and, since then, have been its directing force. During that time General Motors has continued to grow and has paid billions in dividends to its stockholders, What fs true of General Motors is also true of many another American corporation that strives for excellence in its products and efficiency in manufacturing them. Would you be able to find a topflight Republican in, all the land who would de- clare, “It’s time for a change” in the directorate of any of those successfully conducted corporations? ; The standard of living in the United States has grown steadily in the last 20 years, and is now at its peak, on a far higher level than in any other country. In 1932, the last year the Republicans were in power, 66,000 mort- gages were foreclosed on farms, tens of thousands of Americans lost their homes and practically all other pos- sessions and failures among business men also ran into tens of thousands. ‘ ; But | Republicans, with progress and prosperity aboard in the land, are clamoring, “Time for a change” from the party that brought forth that prosperity to them, for no other reason than that they are hungry to get into office. : ? ee 4 Well, they are going to get a change but ft’ won't be to their liking! t will be from Tranian, # free spender, to Stevenson, who makes his own dollar, as well as the pub- lic’s dollar, get its ultimate in value. fe As to his own dollars many a story has been told about his frugality. As to the public’s dollar, he began, shortly after he assumed office as governor of Illinois, three years and nine months ago, to root out of office every state employe who didn’t have a job to perform. He has refused, despite the outcries of political bosses, to do any patronage padding, to give any man a state job just because he is one of the “faithful.” He has fought corruption in the state, particularly in Chicago, which, according to a Presbyterian minister in Springfield, Mlinois, was the most corrupt city in the midwest when Stevenson became governor. He has stamp- | ed out corruption or has it on the run, not only in Chicago but also throughout the state. An editor of a newspaper in Oregon asked Stevenson, a few days ago, what he would do in Washington, in the event of his election as President, to curb extravagance and root out .corruption in government. He replied that-the most convincing answer to that question could be found in what he has done in tightening the pursestrings and his constant fight against corruption in Illinois since he has been governor. A Republican seriator pounced on that answer as an | admission by Stevenson that there is corruption in Wash- ington. Of course, he admits it, but he is itching to fight it.

Funds | WASHINGTON ( — It doesn’t cost enough to run the schools, in the opinion of Dr. Willard E. Givens. ‘ Givens, who is about to retire as executive secretary of the}. National Education Association, said here the annual cost of 5% billion dollars ought to be about doubled. ' : Now that school days are here again, Dr. Givens was asked, some questions about the money of education, + The rural schools are opening ‘his month; the. city schools will open soon after Labor Day, and more than one-fifth of the nation | will be studying—in the colleges, high schools and elementary schools, public and private. Edu- cators expect that attendance will once again set a record. || “The nation spends abouty 5% | billion dollars just operating ‘the | Crossword Puzzle public and private schools and colleges," said Dr. Givéhs, ‘About 10 per cent of the elementary school system is private.” He added: “You would have to spend at least. 10 billion dollars the schools as they should be operated.’’ He _ said the additional money would be spent to pay higher teachers’ salaries, hire more teachers and maintain more schools, Each class would contain no more than about 30 pupils, instead | of the king-size classes which now overflow most schoolrooms; and each child would have an oppor- tunity to go to school for a full day, instead of going on a half- day shift basis, which is the prac- tice now in many schoo’ districts. Before you could do most of these things, however, you would have to build a lot of new schools to replace those that are obsolete and unsafe and add new schools where ‘they are needed. “School business is big business, he said, quoting from a new study by the American Association of National School Board’s Associa- tion. Reading on, he quoted: “In communities employing a superintendent of schools, the school system as a whole is usually the largest single enterprise in the . lcommunity, from the-standpoint of Solution of Yesterday's Puzzie DOWN 1.

But despite the low pay, salaries | take about 65 percent of the annual education budget. | Mounting Tension } . ° Gripping Tampa TAMPA & — Mounting tension was reported here Wednesday when some 40 longshoremen massed at a dotk where non-union | men were loading a ship, but was quieted when the longshoremen | di on orders of a special | police detail.

SAYS By HAL BOYLE ~ NEW YORK # — The reason women get more things done than men is that they know better how to make a fuel of themselves, fuel like an old fuel, and the oldest and best. fuel isn’t - wood, coal or oil. It is anger— plain old inner anger. Notice how a woman If she has a distasteful job the first thing she does is cleaning. A man faced with this task says, “I ought to tidy up this joint, and I will, one of these days, but I feel awful tired today.” And he doesn’t get around to shoveling out the debris until it threatens to smother him. But a woman says, “I hate the A wise man, however, can exer~ cise some influence over a woman “ by tiesmay ingly learns to channel er e right .

He pulled out his watch and pleaded. She dawdled. He begged. Pointed ‘at it. She dawdled She yawned. Finally, ‘he picked up aos of her favorite dresses and said: “Well, I forbid you to take this along. It makes you look like Queen Victoria on a picnic.” “Oh, it does?” she snarled.-“I’'ll wear what I -want to, smarty!” In a tempestuous burst of ener- gy, she packed the suitcase, snapped it shut. They caught the-| train. “As a matter of fact, she was so angry she wouldn’t speak to me for a week—but is that altogether | bad?” recalled the husband., “But I learned a lesson: If you want, to get..a wife anywhere on time, first get her mad. Ruffle her feathers, then smooth them later.” That is sound psychology, up to a point, Of course some wives, when they get mad, just go into another room and lock the door. No rule works with all of them. the qther way. A woman uses her anger to whammy a man into obey- ing her whim. Many a fellow is prodded into success in life ‘only because of the long slow burn of his wife over the fact that the _ husband next door is getting ahead faster. Her wrath feeds his will, and he rises in the world on bor- rowed fuel, : There is another inner fuel, as old as anger. It is called fear. Anger is a fighting fuel, fear is the fuel for running away. You need both to live. I may be a traitor to my sex, but it seems to me that women keep these two fuels in better bal- ance than men. They are less like- ly to be overwhelmed by either. They know better when to be an- Tally breve, when to be cautiously ifraid, But, man or woman, nobody ever became a star in the human race | until he learned how to make the right kind of fuel of himself. | Communists Plan To Abolish The Politburo MOSCOW #—The proposed new statutes of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union announced here provide for the abolition of the Politburo. This startling reorganization of he Soviet governing structure was evealed in an announcement that tussia’s ruling Communist Party ould hold its first Congress in 3 years on Oct. 5. The announcement said the Con- | gress also would take up plans for a fifth five year plan to increase | Soviet industrial output 70 per cent | by the end of 1955. | Western observers here consid- ered the meeting, announced, for Oct. 5, would be the most impor- | tant held in the Soviet Union since the end of World War il.
