SLOW MEN AT WORK
Management people and assembly line workers
at one factory in Detroit had a chance to learn the
other day how the other half works.
By way of providing* both merriment and edu
cation at its recent “ Family Day” open house, skilled
workmen filled the executive and office jobs while
the soft-handed management men operated the pro
duction at Massey-Ferguson’s newly-enlarged tractor
plant.
Under normal operation this model plant turns
out 250 tractors in an eight hour shift, about one
every two minutes. There was something of a lag,
however, during the turn-about operation of “Family
Day” when the production rate declined to one trac
tor every 12 minutes, or a total of 15 complete
machines for the three-hour Saturday demonstration.
This, incidentally, is the rate that both management
and UAW officials had predicted. Thus is can be
said the desk jockeys made their quota. The com
pany also wanted it known that a full repair crew
(of professionals) had been alerted to check over
these tractors the following Monday. While it was
not reported how the temporary “executives’ did,
we understand they did not sell the plant or negotiate
any mergers or even borrow money. They did agree,
however, to suspend production standards for the
three hours and to dispense with any comments about
“a fair day’s work”.
Coming, as it did, at the very time when UAW
bargaining was in progress at the automobile plants
and tension mounting, it suggests that Family Day
mirht be a worth-while institution in every industrial
plant in the nation.
In America today, the production “half” now
lives pretty much the same way as the management
“half”. But they still work differently. Thus, a
wider sharing of experience in this area could be
priceless.

Eisenhower:
Military Must
Prevent War,
Promote Peace
ANNAPOLIS, Md., UR — Presi
dent Eisenhower today told
United States Naval Academy
graduates their overriding goal
in this nuclear age must be pre
vention of war and promotion of
world peace.
But he said, too, that a just
peace can be won only from a
position of strength—and that
the armed services “have be
come, indeed, great shields to
guard the peace.”
In sounding that note Eisenhow
er also plugged for his controver
sial defense reorganization pro
gram without mentioning it
specifically.
He told the 900 academy grad
uates—being commissioned as
Ensigns in the Navy or Second
Lieutenants in the Air Force or
Marine Corps—to keep up to
date on the principles of effective
military management. And then
he added:
“Obsolescence in military man
agement and organization can be
as dangerous to our nation as ob
solescence in weaponry.”
“Modern war,” said Eisenhower,
“is preposterously and mutually
annihilative; peace is the imper
ative of our age.”
The capacity audience of 11,000
in the academy’s big new field
house gave Eisenhower a standing
ovation at the start and con
clusion of his talk, but listened
in solemn silence all the while
he spoke.
At one point the President de
parted from his prepared text
and said it is vital that the grad
uates achieve proficiency in a
foreign language.
TV Contestant Wins
More Than $225,000
NEW YORK, UP) — Elfrida Von
Nardoff Monday night became
the all-time high money win
ner on television quiz shows.
The 32 year old Brooklyn woman
defeated two contestants on the
NBC show “Twenty one.’’
The $21,000 she picked up Mon
day night pushed her ahead of
Robert Strom of the Bronx, an
11-year-old science whiz, who
amassed $224,000 on two dif
ferent shows.
Miss Von Nardoff’s victims
were Charles Hewitt, an insur
ance consultant from New Bruns
wick, N. J., and Emile Libresco,
an industrial relations consult
ant from Pound Ridge, N. Y.
She blanked them both, 21-0.
Hewitt didn’t know that An
drew Johnson had been military
governor of Tennessee and Vice
President before he became
President.
Libresco failed to name poet
Edwin Arlington Robinson as the
author of “Miniver Cheevy” and
failed to identify Prince Rudolph
of Hapsburg as the son of Franz
Joseph, emperor of Austria-Hun
gary.

Demos Roll Up
Heavy Vote In
California Primary
J
(By The Associated Press)
A Democratic resurgence in
California today gave state’s Atty.
Gen. Edmund G. Brown a com
manding position for his Novem
ber run for governor against Re
publican Sen. William F. Know
land.
Brown rolled up a heavy vote
total in yesterday’s Democratic
primary and also polled more
than one-fourth of the ballots cast
in the GOP gubernatorial pri
mary.
.Where it counts most—in total
votes—t h e 53-year-old Brown
held a 3-2 margin over Know
land with more than one-half of'
the tabulation complete.
Although each won in his
own primary, the results bore
out Democratic claims that Brown
would have a decided edge in
the overall vote. But Know
land, who is giving up his role
of Senate Republican leader to
seek the governorship, called it
“just the opening skirmish.”
