Most Chief Executives
Dissatisfied With Own Job
Chicago (U.R) A company
president says that bosses such
as himself are constantly calling
themselves on the carpet.
Lyle M. Spencer, who became
president of Science Research
Associates here at the age of
27, says that chief executives
try to keep hidden "an almost
masochistic capacity for self
criticism." That characteristic turned up
in a survey of 950 members of
the Young Presidents' Organiza
tion, Spencer said. His firm made
the study, he wrote about it for
the Harvard Business Review.
The Young Presidents' Organ
ization is only for those who
reach the top before 40 years of
age in a firm doing more than
a $1,000,000 annual business.
Spencer is now 44 years old.
"From the day they take over
the reins of business control,"
Spencer wrote, "most chief ex
ecutives are secretly as dissatis
fied with their own work as with
that of the most bumbling em
ployee." 39 Average Age
The survey gave this compos
ite picture of a young company
president:
About 39 years old, running a
business grossing 53,500,000, em
ploying about 250 persons, hav
ing an annual personal income
of $41,000 (about a fifth of it
coming from outside his busi
ness), still married to his first
wife after 13 years, with three
or more children.
And he is a man who worries
about how he does his job.
The study showed these 10
problems that worry him the
most:
1. Using time effectively. The
president works much longer
hours than other employees but
still doesn't have enough time.
2. Learning not to be a person
who does things himself, but
gets others to do them. Most!
presidents advanced by being j
"do-ers," now they must learn'
to delegate authority and be "a
teacher, planner, counsellor, su
pervisor, mediator, and some
times a disciplinarian."
3. Building a team. "More than
a third of all presidents said that
the worst mistake they made last
year, and one that hurt, their
company the most, was either
having a man in a key spot who
did not fit or failure to get one
who did."
Decisions In Crises
4. Setting the direction. The
job of making a final decision
falls squarely on the president.
5. Finding expert advice. Bus
iness life is getting so complex
a big worry is finding experts
who can worry for you.
6. Securing working capital. It
takes money to make money. "A
clear majority of the presidents
surveyed felt that their com
panies could be run more effic
iently if they had more working
capital."
7. Making crises decisions.
"Every president faces recurring
crises and it is interesting how
often they seem to have their
most brilliant ideas when their
backs are against the wall."
8. Negotiations. "When the
chips are down, when big money
is involved, the persident must
be on hand personally to go
through the turmoil of making
the final decision and to suffer
the consequences if his decision
is wrong."
9. Searching for a creed. Many
presidents feel a "vague uneasi
ness" about what the real respon
sibilities are to stockholders and
the community.
10. Effecting self - improve
ment. "Three out of four are
currently engaged in some type
of training to improve them
selves as businessmen."
Ceylon (Reds Made Mistake
Battling Buddhist Monks
Colombo (U.R) Ceylons
Communists made one of their
biggest mistakes when they
dared to battle publicly with this
island nation's influential Budd
hist monks.
The major tactical blunder
cost the Reds the support of the
monks and discredited them in
the eyes of the people.
The issue that broke the some
times close relationship of the
monks and the Communists was
the question of Ceylon's state
language.
The government of Sir John
Kotelawala, supported by the
Communists and left-wing ele
ments, wants both Sinhalese and
Tamil named state languages on
an equal basis. But Buddhist
monks, who wield tremendous
influence in neutralist Ceylon,
demand that Sinhalese alone be
designated the official language.
They point out that of a popu
lation of more than 8,000,000.
there are 5,621,300 Sinhalese
snd only 908,700 Tamils.
Riot Result!
The problem came to a violent
head recently when Buddhist
monks and pro-Sinhaless broke
up a meeting in Colombo town
hall which was called by the
Communists and leftists to pass
a resolution demanding that
Tamil also be m a d e a state
language.
Several monks were assaulted.
As a result, the infuriated mob
went on a destructive rampage
and left .behind a trail of smash
ed shops, most of them belong
ing to Tamils.
The monks, many of whom
previously supported the Reds,
actively turned against the Com
munists. I

Veteran Actress, 67,
Dies in Hollywood
; Hollywood (U.R) Funeral
services were being arranged
today for veteran actress Nana
Bryant, whose career in show
business spanned 50 years from
touring stock companies to tele
vision. The 67-year-old actress died
Christmas Eve in her Hollywood
apartment following an illness
of several months. Miss Bryant
started on the stage when she
was a 16-year-old high school
student in Cincinnati.
Flames Evacuate Families

Cardiff, Wales U.R) Fire

fire department building last
night.
Firemen evacuated some 15

building.
Two Minor Accidenis
Reported To Police
Dale Sawyer, Shady Cove,
swerved his car to avoid stril
ing a deer on the highway near
Shady Cove Sunday, he told
state police, and ran head-on
into a car driven by Charles
Reginald Ray, 23 North Ivy st.,
Aiectiora.
Officers said no lnluries re
sulted from the accident, and
that damage to the two cars
was relatively minor.
The only other Christmas day
accident reported to state police
was in the city of Central Point
where cars driven by Donald
Lloyd Mathias, 610 West 10th
st., Medford, and Freeman Wil
liam Mason, 47 Laurel st., Cen
tral Point, collided, resulting
in minor damage to both, offi
cers said.

a hard rain prevented anti
Tamil crowds, angered by the
attacks on the monks, from vio
lence when the language issue
was debated in the House of
Representatives. No decision
was taken at the session.
At a meeting of Buddhist
monks held at the Colombo
Young Men's Buddhist Associa
tion hall, one of the speakers
demanded that the people unite
to drive Communism from Cey
lon to safeguard Ceylon's re
ligion and language.
Communist Argument
"There are a few monks who
are still with the Marxist lead
ers working against our lang
uage." said another speaker. ' I
would not hesitate to join any
one who will come forward to
disrobe them."
Premier Kotelawala still main
tains that there should be two
state languages, but he points
out that the decision should be
made by the United National
party, the ruling groups.
One of the main Communist
arguments for two languages is
this: if only Sinhalese were
designated, the Tamil-speaking
area of the north would secede
from Ceylon and join South
India, also a Tamil-speaking
area. The Tamils would ask the
United States for aid, and the
United States would establish
air bases in northern Ceylon,
thus endangering peace in south
eastern Asia.
Most of the people are not im
pressed by this argument, and
they don't like to see their
monks pushed around.
