Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Saturday, Februdty 21, 1953 Personality Check Is Vital To Job Hunter Who Is Ov 40 By ADELAIDE KERR NEW YORK .®—Anybody over | 40 looking for a job had better | take stock of himself to make sure he is not his own biggest stum- bling block. Personality traits, such as talk- | Ing too much and a lck of ad- aptability, may be far greater handicaps than any prejudice against the older worker. That is the concensus of 90 pri- vate employment agencies of New York City, as revealed in an ex- haustive survey of the job- hunting } problems and performance of men and women over 40. The survéy was made by the New York State Joint Legislative | Committee on Problems of the | Aging as part of tnany years’ ef- fort to aid the 40-plus jobseeker in his quest for work. The committee is headed by State Sen. Thomas Desmond. | “Again and again the jobseeker over 40 spoils his own chances of getting a job,” said Ser. Desmond. “Too often this is the picture he presents: “He talks too much. He inter- | | tupts the man who is consider- | ing him. He fidgets or drums on} ‘ways and in his opinions and lacks | limberness to adapt himself to new conditions. ‘In short, he shows that he is Biving no thought to the boss’s needs and has no interest in them. He is interested only in his own. | All things considered, he presents @ personality he would not hire himself—if the tables were re- versed. Of course he is not aware of what he is doing. But neverthe- less, in just these things, he often blacks his own progress.” Sen. Desmond said the survey in- dicated that women are a bigger problem than men in 40-plu job placements — largely because of their own attitudes. “There is the woman who makes a martyr of herself because she has to take a job at her age and will gladly take anything,” he said. “There is the over-age flirt who goes job-hunting wearing too much makeup and too elaborate clothes. There is the one who says too often ‘I've never done that before’ and objects to accommodating an employer in such small things as switchboard relief, cffice reception or information service, “Then there is the applicant who s thet the way she has been ught to do a job is the only way. | oad ef trying to fit herself to , she tries to reorganize it her standards. Finally | the applicant who resents | 3 eny information about her- | sy'f because she thinks the inter- | cr js prying into her personal | ceils urged that com- | ‘es do more to aid the older | er in his job quest—including | ping him to see himself as he | is and correet the faults that block his progress. Among their sugges- ons were public counseling cen- ters, training and retraining cen- ters and 40-plus clubs, | TING TO THE STAFF Robert W.

FAY AP Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON ®—This is the the picture turns grim and things are in a hell of | a fix. It is the time when each of the armed forces tells how good it is. And it is, perchance, the time of budget-making. It happens every year, in peace and war, in every administration. Some years there are mysterious rumors of foreign submarines cruising off American shores. Oth- er years thére are vapor trails from highflying, unseen, unknown aircraft above the northern de- fense perimeter. And some years people just sit gown and add up all the military and diplomatic perplexities and intelligence esti- mates and come up with a broad and brooding and black picture. Only Thursday a group of con- gressional leaders emerged from a White House session with mili- tary, intelligence and national se- curity council officials—speaking cryptically but apprehensively of the briefing they had. It was noth- ing new, they said—the picture has | been grim for a long time, The congressional leaders then went to the Capitol where Con- ress is going to work on the budget. Across the Potomac at the Pen- tagon the armed forces seemed to hear no unusually loud alarms from around the world but maybe that is just because they are used to the grimness of the times.

If world conditions are as grim as congressional leaders were told at the White House, what will it do to the hopes of business—and in- dividuals—that income tax rates will be cut, as now scheduled by law? Will the warning put a crimp in plans to trim the budget? Will the prospect of “‘ years of expensive military expan- sion” put a strong prop under the economy and somewhat offset growing deflationary signs? Businessmen have grown used to including the unknown in their {\ plans—the anknown being usually Russia, At this time of year the | } unknown also includes the U. S. Congress, Sen.

There was the impression each could do jit as well or a little better than either of the other two services. In fairness, perhaps they re- called the economy drive of a few years ago, under Louis A. John- son’s defense secretaryship. Most people in the Pentagon believe that campaign was partially re- sponsible for the state of U. S. unreadiness when the Korean War j broke out. And perhaps each service want- ed to guard against too-deep cuts in its budget this year. At any rate— The Navy announced it had de- veloped a fully pressurized flying suit which would aliow ‘Navy pi- lots” (the press release didn’t say why other pilots couldn’t wear it too) to “travel in safety in the extreme upper atmosphere —— or even in outer space.” The account had wide reader in- terest among those anticipating the advent of space travel and war- fare. It, also had the rapt and slightly ‘annoyed interest of the Air Force. The Air Force, with practically no urging, was ready to produce a press release it issued last Oct. 4, saying it then had a new type pressure suit “enabling pilots to survive in the near vacuum of the upper atmosphere.” In that re- lease, the author waited until he got down eight paragraphs to say the suit “resembles to some ex- tent the popular conception of a [Businessmen Wonder As They Face Grim Facts Of Life other five | space suit.”” But the author of yes- terday’s Navy release hit, right at rates, eithér In June when they may be dropped, or at least at the end of the year, as the law now states, | Talk of threatening world con- ditions could dash these hopes.

Through several hundred words the Army went in for some re-presentation of technical facts about rocket shooting, captioned the release with the declaration that “Army’s new guided missiles now rolloff assembly lines.” But it didn’t say what the missiles are or how many have rolled off. With the background presented, the Army got to the point, announc- ing: “The Army now has weapons that aim themselves after the trigger is pulled—and it ‘is almost impossible for them to miss a tar- get....

The friend is Nicholas Brodszky, composer of Lanza’s two biggest | hit songs, ‘‘Be My Love’’ and “Be. cause You're Mine.”’ He is one of the few persons who have re- mained close to the unpredictable tenor during his recent tiff with MGM. After recording all his songs for “The Student Prince,” Lanza failed to show for the start of production. The studio finally paid off the other principals in the picture and sued Lanza for damages. He mere- ly went into seclusion and was re- ported to be on another of his eating sprees. “Mario says that’s all over,” said Brodszky. “I talked to him on the telephone from Palm! Springs, where he has been stay- ing. He told me he has slimmed | down again and is in great shape. | He said he was going to make up| with Metro and go back to work.” | The composer said that much of | Lanza’s recent trouble-was caused { by disagreements with a business | associate, which led to their Part- | ing company. He added that Lanza’s catia bouts with his weight have been a | drain on his nervous system. | “When I have to Jose five pounds, | I am ready to kill,” remarked | Brodszky. “You can imagine how | Mario must feel when he takes | off 40 or 50 pounds.
