o o ' O o G EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, November IS, 1955 'Subtle Slander1 Campaign Keeps Businessmen Out of Government San Francisco U.R1 T. S. Petersen, president of the Stand ard Oil Company of California said yesterday that an 85-year- old campaign of "innuendo and subtle slander" has operated to discourage businessmen from serving their government. Petersen said businessmen have been "reluctant" to serve their government because of a "myth" that they cannot subor dinate their private interests to those of the nation at large. Businessmen are no more thickskinned than Americans en gaged in other occupations," Petersen said. "They are not cheered by aspersions on their character or integrity. They re sent being grouped as grasping selfish men." Petersen said it was during the two terms of President Ulysses S. Grant that this "myth" was invented. However, he pointed out that World War II and the Korean war were moments in history during which "the political myth about business in government was shelved, at least for a short while." Experience Needed Petersen asserted that govern ment particularly needs experi enced hands in the direction of its giant divisions, and that it is in business, that such skills are most likely to be found. Petersen addressed his re marks to a section meeting of the American Petroleum Insti tute, now holding its 35th an nual convention. Another prominent speaker was Pieese H. Taylor, President of Union Oil Company of Cali fornia. He declared that the oil industry needs men who are not only specialists in their particu lar job but who can understand the "overall operation." "The genuine oil man must know what his industry as a whole is doing, what is demand ed of it, and what it requires Photographers Asked To Give Ike Privacy Gettysburg, Pa. (U.R) White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty appealed to news pho tographers yesterday to let Presi dent Eisenhower roam about his farm here in privacy, without feeling that long-range cameras are covering his every act. Hagerty made the plea after Mr. Eisenhower, enjoying his first full day at home, made an early morning tour of his rolling Pennsylvania acres and in spected his prize herd of Black Angus cattle. Some long-range pictures were taken during his stroll. Hagerty said it is "vitally im portant to the health of the President that he be allowed to walk around that farm without . . . being conscious of telescopic lenses on him at all times." for survival and growth," Taylor said. "He must be an informed citizen, on and off the job. We need more of such men." J. Hugh Jackson, dean of the graduate school of busienss at Stanford University, urged men aspiring to become financial and accounting officers to have a ! broad foundation in courses deal ing with human relations. Graduate Study He said this foundation was a necessity because 19 out of every 20 decisions made by corporate executives relate primarily to people. "The ideal education for the financial or accounting execu tive should consist of four years of liberal arts as a foundation, this to be supplemented by at least two years of intensive grad uate or professional study in business," he said. C. V. Roseberry, manager of commercial atomic power activi ties for Westinghouse Electric Corp., said that conventional fuels will provide the source of electrical power for a long time to come. He said that the best industry estimates indicate that even in the year 2000, twice as much electric power will come from conventional fuels as from nu clear power. Roseberry predicted, however, that in 35 years, each source of power alone conventional and nuclear will be turning out as much as our total electrical con sumption today. Indian Affairs Hold Spotlight at Hearing Klamath Falls (U.R) In dian affairs got more attention than timber here yesterday at a congressional subcommittee on interior and insular affairs hear ing on timber policies of the federal government. Chairman Earl Chudoff CD Pa.) and Rep. Clare Hoffman (R Mich.), only two members pres ent, heard Boyd Jackson of the Klamath Indian tribal council declare that Indians are not ready for the independence the government has ordered for them. Boyd told the congressmen that Indians do not understand the law that would terminate federal wardship and that the government has not provided an adequate education program.

He pointed out that three white management specialists supervis ing termination are paid $12,000 annually, plus per diem, by the reservation.
