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. "He
doesn't know it yet"

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 boss casually
calls in a subordinate for a
talk about the worker's
strengths and weaknesses,

Sometimes a bar serves as the
confessional. 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

to the boss.

Hypnosis Great
In Surgery Cases,
Noted Doctor Says
Editor's note: The American
Medical Association recently en
dorsed the use of hypnosis by
physicians and dentists. In the
following dispatch, a surgeon tells
how hypnotism can be employed
as an aid to anesthetics in diffi

Beverly Hills, Calif. -UPD-A
noted doctor said today
that hypnotism, properly ap
plied, can be a great aid to
anesthetics because it allows
patients to return to con
sciousness almost immediately
in emergencies.
The statement was made by
Dr. Milton J. Manner, 45,
who recently told the Ameri
can Medical Association that
he successfully used hypnosis
as the main anesthetic for the

Enlisted Oxygenator
In his operation on the 14-year-old

associates enlisted the aid of
a newly-developed pump oxy

and maintains circulation

would permit the almost im

"We used about one -tenth
