Thursday, October 11, 1951 Number 42 MEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN MACHINES, BABSON DECLARES T-fX f * Employers Should Take Core To Have Their Health Checked. Babson Park, Mass., Oct. 9—The Babson Organization has 2,000 cor porations on its Master List which it constantly watches. In other words, out of the 16,000 corporations whose securities are publicly traded in, we select 2,000 which we believe to be the cream. Curing Slipping Departments Notwithstanding our careful selec tion, some of these corporations are at times suffering from one depart ment slipping. This naturally worries the head of the de- K artment. The more e worries, the more the department slips and the more it slips, the more he worries. If this con tinues too long he has a nervous break- * down or a heart at tack. This is a loss to the corporation and its stockholders. The real purpose of my stonr is to emphasize that men anymore import - ant than machines—in~faet, all Thf\_ chines were invented by men and we most depend upon men for coming great inventions. I have in mind elec tronic devices which should reduce j prices and increase the wages of in telligent workers. The value of fore men and department heads is not ful ly recognised by many corporations Their accumulation of experience will take many years on the part of their • successors to duplicate Rat Hied To Mere Re«t Corporations judge employees hy their hours of work and—directly or indirectly—by their production in physical Baits. But a department head or foreman may he able to develop original ideas in a few hours that I can he worth Urge nasountA to the corporaOa« To acroasplish this, how ever. sack a man should not he wot-! rUd. and should keep himself ta good ! health.

Of course, this rest must be away from home and under supervision. Yet, such an investment by the corporation would prodtice more in dividends to stockholders than if spent in any other possible way. This is the next great lesson which corporations must learn. Preventing Heart Attacks During the past year, I have been especially distressed because so many of my friends and clients are dying from heart attacks. This is not only a loss to the family, but often a se vere loss to the corporations with which such men were connected. Often the death of such a man is ultimately unfavorably reflected in labor rela tions, sales programs and the earn ings of the corporations; and hence a loss to stockholders. With special interest in the 2,000 corporations above mentioned, I am anxious for the support of all attempts to reduce these heart tragedies. Doctors tell me that these heart at- tacks are unnecessary and could largely be prevented if corporations would insist on annual physical aud its of their head executives. When finding one of their executives threatened with a heart condition, the corporation would find it an excellent investment to give this executive a supervised vacation with pay at a restful spot catering to the “tired businessman”. This is not charity or of a “welfare” nature. It is sound, hardboiled business sense. Repairing Va. Preventive Testa The so-called “six weeks cure” for heart attacks can be taken at home or at a hospital if the patient will absolutely obey the doctor's orders; hut this in not true of preventive heart repairing. Those showing a ten dency to heart trouble, hut who have not yet been attacked, need not stay IB bed. They should, however, he away from home and otfice. in a rest ful spot ia the woods until all these symptoms vanish. In this connection let ase say that great progress Is being made hy physician* in detecting possible heart troubles The electro-cardiegraph ia now being suppleawnted or antici pated hy “flicker test#", blood tests and ingeasous gadgets which give aa tlenitive a warning U take a rest and avoid further apparently was the signal that the Dixie contingent has decided Mr. Truman has made up his mind to run again. Otherwise, they would not be out in the open now fight ing a man they might get rid of .next July. The second phase of the anti- Truman strategy apparently in volves a wait of several weeks, un til some time after the first of the year, to see whether there is any clear sign that Gen. Dwight D. Ei senhower is to become the Repub lican nominee. The Southerners have cast aside as impractical any efforts to draft Eisenhower in a Democratic role. If Eisenhower is to become the Republican nominee, the Dixie strategy will be built around a doomed-in-advance effort to get the Democratic convention to restore the two-thirds nominating rule and to convince it that it should soft pedal the civil rights issue.

Oct • — If Presi dent Truman chooses to run again he will find a former fnend and now an implacable polutcal op ponent heading the drive withm his partv to return him to private life Gov James F, Byrnes of Smith Carolina, a 72-year-old scrapper who is s graduate at the Roosevelt school of politics, might even go outside his party in his determined effort to give the country a new President in January, 1953 That part of the Truman-Bymes story will not unfold — if it ever does—until after next year’s Demo cratic nomination convention. The slight, white-haired Byrnes, no lesc chipper than when he was a senator, Supreme Court justice. World War II mobilizer. and Mr. Truman's Secretary of State, dem onstrated at the annual, governors conference in Gatlinburg. Tenn., that his is a fighting mood. In what was a direct slap at the President as an outwardly polite politician can give. Byrnes told a news conference he is for either Senator Russell of Gerogia or Sen ator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia for the party's nominee, v Battle Ultimatum He said he felt Mr. Truman would like to lay down the "bur den’’ of his office, adding that in his opinion the President would recognize the "spirit” of the two- term constitutional amendment, although Mr. ruman is special ly exempted from It. This was a .cold-steel ultimatum of battle, delivered in a typical Byrnes South Carolina drawl, with out heat and smilingly. But the significance of it could not have escaped the President or any of his friends. Byrnes means to fight to the last ditch and his will be no heedless half-effective bolt such as the States Rights movement which took the electoral votes of four states away from the President in 1948. The Byrnes board of-strategy re volves around four men at this time —himself, Byrd, Russell and Gov. Herman E. Talmadge of Georgia. Others Will be invited into the in ner sanctum as time and develop ments warrant. The prelimyiary strategy of the anti-Trumanites is to keep the President from getting the nomina tion again. They know they can’t stop him if Mr. Truman wants to go again, so they have been seek ing in every way possible to get the impression abroad that Mr. Truman doesn’t w’ant to seek an other term.

JOE’S ESSO c Tkt Spnu is the Human Switchboard controlling Health aa/ Vigor GaU Bladder Condition Corrected... For twenty years I suffered with a gall bladder condition. During the past few years my condition grew progressively worse and my blood pressure became abnormal. I also had arthritis and consti pation. I was never free of pain and I had to take some kind of laxative to have a bowel action. I was placed on a rigid diet and advised to have my gall bladder removed. My condition was not improving. In stead it was getting worse each day, so I decided to consult Dr. C. J. Hart, Chiro practor of Laurens, S. C. My first consul tation with him was on July 14. 1951. Afer a brief explanation of Chiroprac tic, a Neurocalograph test was made. X-rays were taken, and I was told to re turn to his office the following day for a complete analysis of my case, at which time Dr. Hart told me he thought he could help me The cause of my condi tion was pointed out to me near the base of the skull on the x-rays. After a few adjustments I began to feel much better. In less than sixty days my gall bladder condition has cleared up completely and my bowel movements are normal and regular. All the pain from my arthntu has disappeared and my blood pressure has returned to normal. I can say truthfully that I feel better than 1 have in years. If every one would try Chiropractic first and not make the error of trying it last as I did. there would be much less suf fering and illness today. My advice to the people of this com munity is to consult Dr Hart immediately If you are suffering with gall bladder trouble, arthritis, ab normal blood pressure or constipation, and it is your sincer** desire to get the CAUSE of your trouble corrected, consult Dr C.
