    New Foreign
Aid Bill Hit
By State Dept.
Plan Would Block Army
From Transfer Of Duty
To Civilian Control
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-UD
The slate department hai pro
tested to Senate leaden that the
new foreign aid bill would block
tne army from turning over Ger
man occupation duties to civilian
control.
This surprise development
cropped up as the Senate met
Tuesday to try to untangle the
snarl over the $5,647,724,000 for
eign aid measure.
Democratic Leader Lucas of
Illinois said the state department
protested the action of the Sen
ate appropriations committee in
stripping House amendments
from the bill.
He predicted these amend
ments will be restored to elimi
nate this threat. But until the
action is taken the transfer,
scheduled to take place in a few
weeks, would be impossible, he
added.
Lucas showed reporters a mem
orandum from the state depart
ment saying the committee's ac
tion "would block current plans
for the transfer to the depart
ment of state of responsibility for
the government of Germany."
The memo adder the Presi
dent would be denied the author
ity to transfer any of the func
tions or funds given the army to
any other government agency.
House Changes Deleted
, The foreign aid measure was
sent back to the committee
last week in a confused fight over
rules and the committee pro
ceeded to strike out amendments
made by the House.
The reason given by Chairman
McKellar fD.-Tenn.) was that
the House amendments contained
new legislation in violation of
rules. This was the objection
raised against certain Senate
amendments In the bill.
The House amendments were
designed In part to clear the way
for the army to transfer its du
ties to the state department.
This striking-out of House
amendments is a technical move
which means they would have to
he restored, McKellar said, in a
conference between Senate-House
members.
Lucas had no doubt this prob
lem will be ironed out.
By voice vote, the Senate quick
ly repeated its approval of a 10
per cent cut in the European re
covery program.
It voted $3,628,380,000 to carry
ECA through the current year
and approved ECA spending
$1,074,000,000 in the last quarter
of the year which ended July 1.
But at- this- point the Senate
bumped Into the troublesome
amendment which would require
ECA and the army to earmark
$1,800,000,000 for surplus Ameri
can farm commodities.
This was the issue which sent
the bill back to the Senate ap
propriations committee last week
for some rewriting.

Economist Offers Refreshing New
Slant On So-Called Business Pie
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
The CIO's most recent economic report, prepared by Robert R.
Nathan, stresses again the view of many labor leaders that business
profits are a sort of pie to be divided among various claimants.

Cleric Warns Against
Pre-Wedding Drunk
TAUNTON, Eng., Aug. 4 (JP
The Rev. J. Du Boulay Lance of
St. Andrew's Anglican church
wrote in the latest issue of his
parish magazine:
"Please be warned of the silly
ass who wants to wish you well
by getting you drunk before the
wedding.
"You are going to make the
most solemn vows you will ever
make in your life, and you want
to be absolutely clearheaded
about It."

get the idea they believe the pie
really was stolen from some
body's kitchen window. And that
only bv handing most of It over
to workers can management I
atone for its sins.
Now no one with anv honesty
or sense of fair play will condone
a management which tries to
eouee the public through high
prices and at the same time de
nies to workers their proper
share of production.
But It s time we got away irom
superficial, short-run definitions
of profits. Peter F. Druker, an
economist, outlines in fortune
magazine a broader view that is
worth examining as a novel con
tribution.
Here's his notion of profits:
First of all, an economic enter
prise,, like any other. Institution
In society, must seek its own sur
vival. It must do this not for It
self alone but for the society it
serves.
The enterprise's "economic per
formance" tells whether or not it
will survive.
Cost, broadly defined, and In
creased productivity are the tests
of economic performance.
Profit, or "profitability" as
Druker prefers, is the measure of
both cost and increased productiv
ity. Thus it is the gauge of eco
nomic performance, of the ability
of an enterprise to stay alive and
contribute to society.
Drucker says cost Includes the
cost of doing business, the future
costs of staying in business
(largely the risks Of the unfore
seen), a share of the future
losses of unsuccessful enterprises,
and a share of society's non-economic
burden.
This last includes the govern
ment and all the various social
services like hospitals, schools
and churches. Obviously all these
are supported by productive en
terprises. The successful businesses must

the Nash Airflyte. Here is the sportsman's dream car with
plenty of room for six big passengers on soft, downy seats, and
28 cubic feet of luggage space to store all the gear. Here is
the one car with twin beds and Weather Eye conditioned air.
The one full-size car with amazing economy that means more than

be capable of bearing this load
plus the cost of the many fail
ures. If the surviving enterprises
do not cover these costs, the
economy will contract and so.
icety will suffer. So continues the
Drucker argument
As for productivity, any in
crease adds to profitability of an
enterprise. But If may take many
forms mgner wages, lower
prices, heavier payments to capi
tal for expansion of output in this
or other enterprises.
In Drucker's view, the enter
prise that does not cover costs as
he defines them and at the same
time boost productivity is a drag
upon society. By his definition,
any business must show profit
ability to survive, whether It is In
America, Socialist Britain or
Communist Russia.
No economy, planned or other
wise, can escape the social risks
an enterprise must face. Russia,
no less than we, has its failures
and its mistakes in the timing of
new products. Indeed, Russia may
well find some of these risks
greater than does free America.
Drucker guesses that to offset
such risks profits In the Soviet
Union may actually be three to
five times larger than in Ameri
can Industry.
This is a refreshing approach
when set beside the pat notion
that a planned economy repre
sents a noble "production for
use" in contrast to a free econ
omy's "production for profit."
The Drucker outlook makes
considerable sense in a realm
where fixed ideas have ruled too
long.

Perk Up Ccbb-a
With Good Scae

Cabbage is on the list of August
plentifuls. And the bureau of hu
man nutrition and home econom- .
ics ii right on its toes with a new
batch of sauce ideas to glorify our
old faithful friend, a head of cab-
Da ge.
For a vegetable salad in which
cabbage appears, you can use
mayonnaise, French dressing,
sweet cream with horseradish
and lemon Juice, or sour cream.
These are all fine, for example,
with a salad of chopped cabbage,
cucumbers cut into thin slices,
chopped red radishes, young
green onion tops, or slivers of car
rots. Here's an uncooked sour cream
salad dressing suggested for cab
bage or cucumbers or lettuce:
Use '4 cup of sour cream, whip
ped; 1 tablespoon of sugar;
teaspoon of salt; a little pepper; 1
tablespoon lemon Juice; 2 table
spoons vinegar. Mix the sugar,
salt and pepper In a bowl. Add the
lemon Juice and vinegar; then
stir this mixture gradually into
the.whipped cream.
A vinegar dressing adds zest to
a sweet-sour cabbage slaw made
with shredded cabbage, a bit of
grated onion and celery salt.
Make the dressing with sugar,
vinegar, salt, pepper and thick
sweet cream.
A peanut butter sauce Is a tasty
teammate for cooked cabbage or
onions or cauliflower. To make
about 1 cud, use 1 tablespoon ta
ble fat, cup of peanut butter, 3
teaspoons flour, i teaspoon salt,
pepper, 1 cup of milk. Melt fat
over boiling water. Blend in pea
nut butter. Add flour and season
ings and stir until smooth. Stir
In the cold milk slowly. Cook over
boiling water until thickened,
stirring constantly.
Remember the rich flavor Im
parted to cabbage by a white
sauce or a cheese sauce. For the
cheese sauce, us 4 tablespoons of
fat, 4 tablespoons of flour, 2 cups
of milk, ' teaspoon salt, i
pound of cheese, shaved thin 12
cups). Melt the fat, blend In the
flour. Add cold milk and salt.
Heat and stir until thickened.
Add the cheese. Stir until it melts.

Nice People, Not Screwballs, Wanted
As Radio Quiz Program Contestants '
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. UP One lady in the radio studio audience waved
some lingerie over her head. Another held up a live squawking
chicken.
They were trying to attract the attention of an announcer select
ing contestants from the audience to appear on a quiz program.
"But that Isn't the. way to get on a quiz show," agreed Mark
Goodson and Bill Todman. "We aren't looking for screwballs."
These two young men both
under 40 are authorities on how
to be chosen to appear on the
radio giveaways. They've pick
ed thousands of contestants for
the five network quiz shows they
produce Stop The Music, Win
ner Take All, His The Jackpot,
Beat The Clock and Spin to Win.
What do they look for?
"We're not looking for the
greatest brains in the studio,"
said Todmao. "We're looking for
nice people the audience will
like."
"Yes," said Goodson. "We want
to avoid people who are off bal
ance. There is a very thin line
between the pleasant extravert
and the real screwball, who may
do anything once he gets on the
air."
The art In getting selected as
a contestant lies in attracting
the announcer's eye without scar
ing him away by being too brash
or anxious.
Bald Man Has Top Chance
"A bald man is more likely
to be picked, for example, than
a man with hair," said Goodson.
"But if he is wearing a necktie
that flashes off and on like an
electric sign, we don't want him.
He's trying too hard."
Women wearing white gloves
and a large hat also are likely
to be chosen merely because
they stand out to the announcer
as he passes through the audi
ence in the pre-game warmup
period looking for contestants.
But a woman wearing flashy
jewelry Is automatically rejected.
"People don't like to see any
one win money who already looks
as if he had more than he need
ed," explained Goodson,
The producers make every at
tempt to keep from putting on
semi-pros men or women wlin
little to do who go from studio
to studio trying to get on as
many programs as possible. They
also turn down anyone who, when
asked why he wants to be a
contestant, replies "to win a
prize."
"He may be completely hon
est,"- said Goodson, "but the lis
teners often get the Impression
such a person is too selfish."
Housewives also Preferred
Over the years the producers
have found that housewives of
ten make better contestants than
college teachers.
"The housewife doesn't feel
she has to prove she's smart,
so she is more relaxed," said
Todman.
They also have learned that
men or women from the south or
southwest part of America make
the best contestants on a geo
graphic basis. .
"It Isn't that they are any
more intelligent or better In
formed," remarked Goodson.
"They are simply more friendly
and homey-talking.
'The New Englander is often
too laconic too brief in his an
swers. On the other hand the
New Yorker tends to be over
aggressive."
Who makes the Ideal contes
tant? "Oh, I'd say It would be a
young man from Fort Worth,
Tex., studying to be a doctor and
