" (UPI Telephoto) Forms of Personal Security Shaping Society Said Desirable By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York - (UPD - Clarence Randall answers a big "no' to the question; "Have Amer icans gone soft searching for Ye.' 1 security?" Randall, re- M:mtee& head of rv ; Inland Steel company and now an advi ser to Presi dent E i s e n hower on for eign economic EUner Walxer poBcy, believes that the mod ern forms of personal secur ity which now shape our en tire scJfciety are desirable, -"in that they give, new balance to the economy and bring to the . individual a new steadi ness of purpose which greatly increases effort.' Writing in "Dun's Review and Modern Industry," Ran dall tells how he changed over the years from an arch con rvative opposed to changes to a firm believer in the revo lutionary change "that has come about in my day." , khges Listed Me lists the chahges-work- vies's compensation, unem Iovment compensation, social oagcurity, old age benefits, com pany pensions, tgroUpinsur nce", special) privileges and Payments for veterans' health insurance,, supplementary un- rplojnent benefits, insured education plans, and all the fibers for the protection of the individual. . The cost to industry is high, le dmits. "But the question 4i not merely what it costs, but rather what society re ceives in exchange. "industry has long , since learned this lesson from its capital .investments for ma chinery ' and equipment. It knows that where the princi pal is clear, no cost is too high if the value returned is still greater." Worker Needs Security 'No worker comes on the job alone," he says. "Inevita bly, he carries with him in his thought, affection for his fam ily and devotion to all the plans and purposes which give meaning to his life Effort is response to the desire to achieve cherished ob jectives. Threaten those ideals, suggest that those purposes may be frustrated because of economic insecurity, and re duction - of , effort inevitably follows. "But give him an abiding sense of continuity as he looks toward the future and certain ty of , fair; play from his em ployer in. the sharing of mu tual adversity, and you bring into play one of the strong est motivating forces in hu man character-loyalty." Randall isn't worried over the reduction in labor mobility that eomes from pensions and other benefits. Nor is he op posed to the payment otover- j time ,at premium, rates for short-term increases in busi ness., - ' He favors stability of em ployment which brings mas tery of the tasks. And on over time he feels it should be given to those who must take broken time when the sales curve goes down. . Death Taking Heroes, Heroines of Past Two Decade in Picture Industry Hollywood (UPD Now that movietown is moving into its third generation, death is cut ting down heroes, and hero ines who dominated screens for the past two decades -sta-. who seemed like neigh bors to the nation's audience. In the past year death came to Tyrone Power, Mario Lanza, Paul Douglas, Wayne Morris, Lou Costello, Kay Kendall and Errol Flynn, among others. . In each instance supersti tious show folk talked about death striking performers in series of three, waiting for a second or third friend to suc cumb. ; Most recent trio to.die with in a few days of one another were Miss Kendall, Paul Douglas and Wayne Morris. The deaths of Lanza and Flynn leaves an ominous va cancy in the cycle. Rarely Express Grief Peculiarly, actors - who are known for their emotion al reactions - rarely display grief when one of their num ber passes. Nor do they in dulge - in maudlin eulogies. It has become almost a tradition among TV " and movie stars to recall the light er moments of their departed friends. At the country clubs, stu dios, network rehearsal stages, and the Brown Derby stories and anecdotes fly. Such phrases as, "I once played the Orpheum circuit with him . . ." "I'll never for get the time she first set foot on a soundstage . . ." "Man, he could ' take a drink with the best of them," are part of the jargon. This week the stories are concentrated on Errol Flynn. His escapades already were being exaggerated, knitting the fabric of a legend to chal lenge John Barrymore's flam boyant life and times. All the memories were kindly. Old foes fondly remembered the good times, not the bad. Stars Forget Egos It is at these moments, the stars forget their egos forPa few minutes, chattering among themselves like in habitants of a small town. Florists quickly sell out of sprays, -.Western. Union, is flooded - with ' telegram re quests and the whiskey flows a trifle more heavily. Hollywood no longer is a y o ut h f u 1 community, and most of its first generation giants have died. Gone are the Fairbanks, DeMills, Berrys, Arbuckles, Valentinos and Louis B. Mayers. ,', Now the second generation is' experiencing the relentless inroads . of the spectre . of death. But " the community pauses only briefly, and you hear, the saying, "The show must go on." Mesquite wood is used for fence posts, railroad ties and MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdford, Or.

After building up a successful prac tice as a physician, he decided to become an attorney. "Medicine pays me. a good living," he said, "but the law gives me a chance to match my wits against others. I like them both." He recently won his first case. Big Otis says: WMWWn NEW BKEAKFAST FOB?

GIFTS RECORDS)! Major Policy Change Made J In Foreign Aid ; Washington (UPD The Uni ted States has announced a major policy change designed to force other industrialized nations to shoulder a bigger share of the foreign aid bur den. . The action also was intend ed to help check the flow of gold and dollars out of the U.S., now running about $4, 500,000,000 a year. " Under the new policy, the Development Loan Fund, which handles most U.S. eco nomic aid, will place "pri mary emphasis" on loans which will be spent in . the U.S. : . Officials said this generally would block underdeveloped nations from getting DLF loans and then using them to buy cutrate goods from other industralized nations such as Germany and Japan. Careful Review DLF Director Vance Brand said the new policy was reached after a careful re view. He noted that there has been "growth in the steady economic strength of the industralized countries of the Free World" and that they have shown "steadily in creasing ability to assist the less developed countries." . "There is now a fair pre sumption that other indus trialized countries which ex port capital goods to the less developed countries are in a financial position to provide long-term loans on reasonable terms to assist such countries in their development pro grams, Brand said.
