Try and Stop Me i By BENNETT CIRF- FLTJL TABORI tells of a Swiss banker who went to Romania and was entertained by the president and board of a big bank. Food was excellent, wine superb, and gypsy music ex citing. The Swiss banker sat at the right of the bank president; at his other side was the first vice-president, a benignly bearded gent who spoke four languages. . When the dinner was over, the guest of honor felt for his watch. It was gone. Greatly embarrassed, he told the president what hap pened. The president too was unhappy. After a mo ment's reflection, he hurried away and returned in a few minutes -with the watch. T remember that you sat next to the vice-president,' he ex plained. "You m-mean ..." stammered the Swiss. "Hush," whispered the president, a finger to his lips.

By PATRICIA McCORMICK United Press International New York-dTD-The hired hands don't know it, but in one big company it pays for a man to come to work with his tie askew or with egg on his vest. The boss deliberately picks such a man for promotion. '"Such an employee is more concerned with work than he is about appearance," said the boss recently during a survey by the New York State De partment of Labor of "promo tion practices" among leading New York firms. . ... According to area survey report, "promotion practices actually are surprising hap-hazardous." For the executive-suite lev- ens, one company officer said; "When a great president re tires, a vacuum is created. And into this vacuum is swept the nearest guy who hasn't had a coronary." Whip-Snappers on Skidss The demise of the organiza tion man was predicted by a boss who won't promote such seemingly loyal Joes ""be cause they have no faults to set them apart from, and above, their fellows." Also on the skids are pro motion chances for . whip snappers. Most firms consider a man who acts like a top sergeant too "over-bearing" for a better job. "Frankly," said a vice presi dent of personnel, "we pre fer a man who 'butters up' his fellows and his superi ors it shows the ability to get along." Many bosses, meanwhile, said they are wary of relying entirely upon the highly-tout ed mental and executive abili ty tests. They are responding to pleas of psychologists to brake this trend "before pro motion practices are utterly dehumanized." Popular with many compa nies are soul-searching V depth- interviews."

The hired hand is supposed to talk back; oth erwise, the boss can't render a promotion decision. Merit Promotions Sixty-two of the presidents polled by the Labor Depart ment said that 55 per cent of the vacancies in their firms are filled by "merit promo tions." But the survey found that 10 per cent of the vacancies are filled by pirating hiring executives away from other companies; 15 per cent by an "automatic" system which op erates on the theory that able men naturally come to the top. Ten per cent of the top jobs were found to be filled with the help of consultants who investigate candidates. The survey determined that there's still another pretty good way of getting ahead in the - world by being related to the boss.

Enlisted Oxygenator In his operation on the 14-year-old girl, Marmer and his associates enlisted the aid of a newly-developed pump oxy genator, which pumps blood and maintains circulation while surgery is being per formed.
