It's better to be gloomy like
this for an hour than sorry
for a lifetime that you didn't
have complete insurance pro

ters.
List ’em now and do some
thing about insurance — then
forget your fears and BE
HAPPY.
Might your car be stolen or
burn up? Might you kill or in
jure somebody with it? Might
your house or business burn
or be blown away? Might
your valuables be lost or sto
len? Might an employee or
tradesman sue you for injury
on your premises? Might your
dog bite a neighbor? Might
you hit somebody with a golf
ball? Might an employee em
bezzle from you?
Worry hard about these
things for a while. Then let us
protect you against ’em with

quently, many employers now prefer
to hire unemployed, experienced
workers because they have at last
had some economic sense knocked
into their heads the hard way.
The implications for the 1950 job '
hunters are obvious: (1) “He must,
first of all now himself—his abilities, j
his vocational interests, his charac-1
ter, and his personality traits. (2) He i
must have some general idea of how |
he can utilize his interests and abili- j
ties to the maximum and thereby de
velop into an efficient, highly pro- j
ductive worker for his employer.'
| This means approaching his prospec-
I tive employer with an attitude of
I "What can I do for you?”, instead of!
“What can >\;u do for me?” (3) He
should expend the energy necessary
before a job interview to learn some- j
thing about a company, its products,
and where he might best fit into the
scheme of things.
Job seekers of 1950 who are too
lazy to do these three things may
find themselves graduating into un
employment. As one who employs
many hundreds myself, I can tell you
that on the other hand, there will
always be—good opportunities for-
t'-ajned men of character, energy and
fighting qualities. I always employ
all the “red-heads” I can find when 1
they do not think too much of salary.;

IHE NATIOHAL SCENE
Special to The Chconicle.
Washington, May 30.—With the ex
ception of two plans, Nos. 12 and 17,
the Hoovef commission for the re
organization of the executive branch
of the government has endorsed all
of the 2l reorganization plans sent
to the congress by President Truman,
i These two include the controver
sial No. 12 which would have abol
ished the office of general counsel in
the national labor relations board as
set up by the TaPt-Hartley act, and
plan 17 which shifts from general
.services administration, to the hous
ing and home finance agency the ad
ministration of aid to the state and
local governments in advance plan
ning of public works. This latter plan
was unopposed but was not specific
ally recommended in the commis-
sion's reports. 1
Only one cabinet member or agency
head in the administration opposed
any of the President’s plans. That one
was Secretary of Treasury John Sny
der who voiced, his opposition to
bringing the semi-independent comp
troller of the currency under treas
ury department control.
• • • •
However, private and pressure
groups have opposed 11 of the 21
plans, and bills to veto these plans
have been the subject of committee
hearings and, as a matter «of fact, as
this is written somewhat in advance
of the deadline on May 24, one or
two already appear on the skids by
the action of one or both branches
!of the congress.
Seven plans turned up signifiicant
controversy. One, No. 4, would cen
tralize authority in the agriculture
department, mostly in the hands of
the secretary and an assistant secre
tary. .This was opposed by certaia
farm organizations and was disap
proved May 9 by a senate commit
tee.
No. 5 proposed a shift in admiijis-
tration of the patent office and
brought criticism from manufactur
ers and patent attorneys; No. 6 was
passed on by a house committee and
| would give the secretary of labor
I control of all the semi-independent
department functions. Some manu
facturers and business men say it
gives the secretary of labor an “im
balance” of power.
