Show But Not Dead Red The Mm Missing Their Audience By ROBERT S. ALLEN and PAUL SCOTT WASHINGTON Voice du reaucracy n Business I us- - "Bureaucracy? is an epithet ually reserved for talking about the government. Lately, however, many business-- . men have become aware that the word, with all its ramifications of inefficiency and waste and red tape, is a pretty fair description of the present state of many Am-- -. erican companies. Almost imperceptibly over recent ' years, while attention has been focused on increasing the productivity of blue collar personnel, the number of white collar workers lias crept upward, resulting in top-- -. heavy corporate! bureaucracies, i f The Wall Street Journal reports that since 1947, the number of 'white collar workers employed by manufacturers has climbed over 65 per cent, while over the same period total production force has .shrunk by 7 per cent. In 1947, collar payrolls were 25 per V cent of the to;al manufacturing payroll; they now constitute 35 per cent. To remedy the situation, man-- ! agement . is attacking it in the i most forthright manner possible -clearing out the dead wood. x& 1 f Most famous example is the operation carried out by in 1961.

The Louisville copied the error and had to eat the same crow. But the powerful Cincinnati Enquirer endorsed Morton as "a conservative in every unibenigbted sense of the word." Grassroot enthusiasm for Morton welled up from the smaller daily papers and from weeklies in most of Kentucky's 120 counties.

If Willis Encouraged By Emergence of Liberalizing Trend Complacent Populace Editor Herald: It is to be regretted that the kindly expressed commisserations of Major Fred Openshaw should turn out to have been so "wide of the mark" For I can assure him I am by no means "mixed up." And, as to being "unhappy," I can remind him of his closing words, where he said "it's really great these days," and to add that I heartily agree with him though my reason for the jubilance may Editor Herald: I am impelled to attempt clarifying some points that seemed to rouse the ire of one particular person. Even though I say things that smack of subversion, I am not ashamed of what I say, but I am ashamed of some people's capacity to understand. Back about the close of World War II, Drew Pearson, who is unsurpassed as a commentator, divulged the startling information that the J. P. Morgan bankers, the Chase National and the New York City Bank furnished finance to the Hitler war machine several millions of dollars because American boys lives were too cheap to resist the opportunity of amassing more wealth to their already bloated coffers. Any reasoning person would conclude that such a treacherous perfidy could be rightly termed high treason. At the high level conferences of heads of state while under the influence of Vodka furnished by Russia with American delegation furnishing bourbon, Manchuria which rightly belonged to China vas secretly given over to the control of Russia. North Korea was divided and Russia was given the Kurile Islands. Half of Poland was turned over to Russia, and a free hand was given in Balkans.

I refer to the recent emergence of tiny yet promising signs of a liberalizing trend in the, till now, strictly and whooly conservative right. The heavily personal tone of the esteemed major's letter, is, I feel it necessary to say, another point of error on his part. For, even if he gave convincing proof that "the t unhappy gentleman was mixed up," no knowledge of any value would have been presented. But if he had shown that my disparagement of his hero was wrong, he w uld have contributed much light to an political fogginess. So, may I aay, in closing, that one may be justly proud these days, that the growing evidence of an expanding democracy of the heart, is as typical of Our Land's highest and best aspirations, as it is of the destined advance of immeasurable, ineffable fairness and justice to all: A d genuine democracy in a political sense.

But I am good, accommodating and always do what I am told. Admire me, admire mi;, admire me . . ." I don't know why she is in such despair. Living with a husband or other relative who treats us with contempt can begin to make us feel contemptible. But it is always our childhoods that prepare us to attach ourselves to contemptuous people. Somehow Mother may have made us so ashamed of disappointing her that pleasing everyone becomes our means of of the avoiding any old dread of disappointing. But we can't please everyone and as the number of displeased people in our lives accumulates, horror of our displeasing self will overwhelm us.

Our effort to show him up as displeasing, too, is only the faintest reflection of the active self hate inside. If you want to help this boy, you'd better find some way to release his mother's hunger for human understanding. You may be able to do it by giving her some appreciation.

It's Time to Accent Real Meaning -- Of Christmas-Tim- e Editor Herald: The recent Christmas holiday that has passed us was accompanied by the usual yard decorations, lights and Christmas trees. Now that is has passed, however, it might be well for all of us to look back and review just what Christmas means to each of us individually. The subjects of the of Christmas is one that is discussed very often, and most people agree that Christmas is losing much of its meaning. But how many of the sentiments expressed in such discussions actually get past the "drawing board" so to speak? In recent years advertisements of "Christmas Toy Sales" have work. It certainly grieves my heart to contemplate the fact that the populace is so complacent and indifferent that it fails to observe the damnable trickery, bumbuggery, skullduggery and every other form of deception making gullible dupes out of the citizens of our beloved nation. When I know under what auspices and who are the creators and framers of wars, I dislike to think of patriotism being founded upon a false premise. J. V. Ford. Europe rather than V.O.A "Voice of America broadcasts are going right over the heads of most Poles," Rooney said. "Few, of the people listen to V.O.A. because its programs contain too much art and culture, and not; enough hard news." ' the time Christmas rolls around, the decorations look drab and dull to many people. Each year Christmas is meaning less and less to more and more people. The start of a new year gives us all an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. It might be well for all of us to put forth1 a little effort in putting Christ back into Christmas.

Is recovery possible? What treatment is used? A There are several kinds of myelitis or inflammation of the spinal cord. Poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis which is due to a virus is one form. In all forms a wasting of the muscles supplied by the involved nerves usually results. Massage and movement (both voluntary and assisted by' a nurse or physiotherapy aid): may help to limit the disease but complete recovery is rare. No, curative drug or other treatment is known.

"The Communist party in Poland is at its lowest ebb," declared Rooney. "I was told that its membership is closer to 700,000 than the 1.5 million they claim. Now is the time we should be getting our message across to the Polish people. The Poles are starved for accurate information on U.S. and Soviet relations, and what this country is doing to help people fight Communism throughout the world.
