The Increase was not necessary any more than the 45 percent was not necessary. But they w ill prevail until citizens make a protest big enough to in fluence the legislators WRONG AFFROACH State Senator GUI, chairman of an interim committee, said recent ly that one of the reasons for the longer «entons of the legislature is the slowness of labor and man agement to reach a compromise in i ne mp toy ment and industrial ac ct<|ent mils.

Far- rner* usually buy their pork in- stead of growing it and we are sure that lowered freight rates from the east would help more farmers than It would hurt.

The new retes are substantially higher than the old ones due to the larg er tax nearly everyone will have to P*y. Reason for the boost In withhold- Ing la that state taxes are to be much higher and the old rates would leave moat taxpayers ow- ing the state at the end of the year. So the rate* were boosted to make what Is called “realistic” withholding. . It la a contention of many tax ettes because they are handy They probably started in the day* when It seemed an evidence of m aturity— and youngsters want to be grown up. It may look to be a very foollah passion to an adult but children think It would be wonderful.

I t is. If year name Is Roger M. B lough. T h irty years ago, Blough (rhymes with plow) was teach ing history in Hawley, Pennsyl vania. Today, he la Chairman of the Board of the $3 billion United States Steel Corporation, employing 260.000 people. How did he do it? Luck and circumstance*, says Blough who, at 53. is a six-footer with an easy, relaxed manner, known as a “low-pressure” exec- * utive. Was farm boy A Pennsylvania farm boy< Blough attended a one-room grade school, worked his way through tiny Susquehanna Uni versity in Selinsgrove, Pennsyl vania, and then spent three years teaching school. He left teaching to study law at Yale. Blough * ftr»t big break came when he became one of many lawyers employed by U. S. Steel in 1939 during its legal tus sle with the Government. He worftd harder, longer and more effectively than most Wall Street law clerks and caught the eye of Ben Fairless, who was President of the Corporation. ) Fairleaa liked his wary, pru dent mind, his ability to answer questions with up-to-the-minute facta and assigned him to sue- sessively bigger and bigger Jobe. Blough worked and studied Mtn who make Amenta great No. 1 of a tones TSB' LAs* « ROGER >■ - BLOUGH hard. In handling the Corpora tion's complex legal affairs, he learned so rapidly and displayed such good judgment in advising top management he was elected a Director in 1952. In 1955, he took over as Chairman when Benjamin F. Fairleaa retired at 65. Says he was lucky ‘’I'd say I was pretty lucky,” Blough admits. “ I cant recall any serious reverses. There are times when you seem to be tread ing water-not going too fast. But you are learning all the time. “I don’t want to sound polly- anna-isb, but I ’ve enjoyed all the jobs I ever held, back as fa r as the days when I was teaching school. There is lots of satisfac tion in doing any job well.” ? But it font lock alone that moves a man from obscurity as a small town teacher to head one of the greatest industrial organi- “ Just O rdinary G uy" Avows Blough sations. He has to know what la going on in the world. One of the architects of U. S. Steel's reorganisation and ex pansion, he is well versed in the intimate facts of American busi ness. His mind la capacious and fact-ftlled. His modest, careful •ft poriant talents. His strength his thoroughness and ability in analysing problems. “ He's a hard man to knoto,” a close friend once said. “ But ones you get to know him he wears like steel.” *s .4 Lives in New York Blough lives in New York, is married and has twin daughters attending college. Although he likes to play golf and swim, his hobby is just plain “work.” “I ’m just an ordinary guy,” he says. “1 like to work hard and 1 like to relax. I go to bed early and get up early. On weekends I go home to Hawley and plant a tree or a flower in my yard.” Blough is optimistic about America’s future. “I think this is the best ttme ever to be young," he maintains. "The in dustrial and business trend is upward. Our organization, for example, has expanded research fivefold in the past 15 years. Yet we are only beginning. “Yes, it’s a great period for youth,” concludes this former schoolteacher, who keeps a con stant eye open for young talent to stock his Corporation for the future.
