Most Firms Reported To Be
Seeking Executive Talent

UPI Financial Editor
New York -UPD- Just about
every average sized company
today is on the prowl for
e x e c u tives
and they're
willing to pay
from 810,000
to $40,000 an
nually - with
fringes here
and there.
E x ecutives
most in de
m a nd are
Elmer Waber sales experts.
Then come engineers follow
ed by manufacturing produc
tion executives. It seems that
financial and marketing ex
ecutives are the least sought
after.
William A. Hertan, presi
dent of Executive Manpower
Co., management recruiting
firm, discovered these facts in
a survey of firms with sales
ranging from SI million to
S40 million annually.
Difficulty With Executives
The smaller businesses find
difficulty in getting the right
executives. They practically
are unanimous in reporting
scarcity of available people to
man the jobs they have open
or plan to have open.
"A small firm such as ours,
says the head of a company
with $6 million annual sales,
"is handicapped in being un
able to select executive per
sonnel from a large number
of younger employes, as sub
stantially large firms can.
"Among those available
from outside, many are, of
course, the rejects of these
large firms.'
Another complains that it
is difficult to find executives
with engineering background
coupled with administrative
talent.
"You still have to gamble"
in selecting executives, says
another company head.
Hertan found in his survey
that nearly 88 per cent of the
job openings for these average-sized
firms falls in the
S10.000 to S20.000 salary cate
gory. Some 10 per cent will pay
$20,000 to S40.000 and 2 per
cent will pay $40,000 or more
for top executives.
Sixty-nine per cent of the
management jobs will be new
ly created and the remainder
will be replacements.
Last year the firms survey
ed reported they had to go
outside the company about
half the time to fill posts pay
ing from $10,000 to S100,000.
Most firms of moderate size
were found to have no man
agement development pro
gram. Here is how they find

It
New York - Highly signi
ficant scientific data which
may eventually lead to a solu
tion to air pollution have been
developed through research
financed by e American
Petroleum Institute, accord
ing to the magazine "Oil
Facts."
The institute has invested
more tnan $1.3 mmion in
air Dollution studies since
1952. During the same period
individual oil companies spent
an additional $66 million m
the development of controls
designed to provide purer air
in the communities where
they operate and the U.S,
government also has conduct
ed intensive studies in the
field, the new API publica
tion said.
Complex Mixture
As a result, scientists have
decided that the smog which
plagues Los Angeles and some
other urban areas is a com
plex mixture of gases, minute
solids and liquid droplets.
Some of these start out as
harmless chemicals but turn
into new and highly irritat
ing compounds when irradiat
ed by strong sunlight, "Oil
Facts" reports.
The institute has estab
lished 14 projects at such
places as the Franklin Insti
tute, the Universities of Wis
consin, Illinois and Califor
nia, the Stanford Research
Institute, the Industrial Hy
giene Foundation and the
Armour Research Foundation.
Nine projects have been com
pleted. Work on the others
is still in progress.
executives: Promotions with
in the company, 18.5 per cent;
advertising, , 17.4 per cent;
employment agency, 14 per
cent, and management recruit
ed. 12.2 per cent.
Seven per cent of the com
panies admitted they raided
competitors for their execu
tives. Varied Compensation Plans
Most favored compensation
arrangements for new execu
tives is salary plus bonus.
Next came straight salary.
Salary plus merit raise was in
third place, and salary plus
commissions, fourth. Two
other methods salary plus
deferred payment and salary
plus stock options were tied
for fifth place in the survey.
The companies reported on
the age of their executives:
Age 45, 35.5 per cent; age 50,
29.6 per cent; age 40, 14 per
cent. Only 2 per cent went
as low as age 35 and only one
company reported a siau
averaging 65 years old. Less
than 4 per cent gave top man
agement as 60 years.
A majority - about 62 per
cent of the companies - re
ported they had no mandatory
retirement age. Of those that
did, 83.3 per cent set retire
ment at age 65. A smattering
of replies ranged from 58
through 70.
Big Firms Surveyed
Hertan surveyed big corpor
ations last summer. They, too, ,
held a majority of their execu- j
tive positions in the $10,000 to j
$20,000 range. ;
Most of the big companies, i
unlike the smaller ones, have
!
internal development pro
grams for executives, al
though they admitted that
more than one-fourth of the
executives placed in the $75,
000 to $100,000 salary cate
gory had to be found outside
the companies.
Among the big companies,
engineers come first in the
group of executives in de
mand. Then come sales execu
tives followed by manufactur
ing - production men. Like
the smaller companies, fi
nancial talent is way down
on the list.

New Fruit Machine Speeds Harvesting
Chicago - (Science Service)
- Fruit growers can harvest
as many as 60 trees per hour
with a crew of only three
men by using a new fruit col
lecting machine described to
the American Society of Ag
ricultural Engineers here. The
apparatus consists of two low
profile, self-propelling catch
ing conveyors positioned on
either side, of a tree. A boom
shaker extends over the catch
ing conveyors and clamps
around and shakes the tree
limb to remove the fruit. The
machine was described by P.
A. Adrian of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, and
R. B. Fridley and C. R. Kaup
ke of the University of Cali
fornia's agricultural experi
ment station at Davis.
Battleships of the U.S. Navy
are named for the states.

Winter Driving
Cautions Urged
Chicago - (LTD - The Nation
al Safety Council says that
winter need not be a danger
ous time to drive if you:
1. Winterize your car, your
driving techniques and your
attitudes. Normal speeds, of
ten are too fast for winter
conditions.
2. Use good tires, prefer
ably snow tires. For more
severe conditions, use rein
forced tire chains.
3. Keep windshield and
windows clear and wiper
blades, heater and defroster
in proper operating condition.
3. Get the feel of the road
as soon as you start out (but
away from the hazards of
other cars). Cautiously try
your brakes or gently press
your accelerator to learn how
slippery the road surface is.
Then adjust your speed ac
cordingly. 5. Keep well back of the
vehicle ahead to give yourself
plenty of room for an emer
gency stop.
6. Pump your brakes to
maintain best steering control
when braking on ice or slip
pery snow. Jamming on the
brakes will throw the car in
to an uncontrollable skid. The
trick is to slow the car by
rapid and intermittent brake
applications and at the same
time maintain rolling traction
that gives steering control.
Van Doren for
Teacher Favored
Boulder, Colo. (DPD - A poll
of teachers in the English and
speech department at the Uni
versity of Colorado indicates
many would lavor nirmg
Charles Van Doren as an in
structor.
The student newspaper,
"Colorado Daily," conducted
the poll of more than half the
teachers in the department.
They were asked: "If Charles
Van Doren applied for a
teaching position at this uni
versity, do you think he
should be hired?"-
Van Doren, a former Eng
lish professor at Columbia
university, testified recently
that his appearances on a TV
quiz show had been rigged.
. Half of the Colorado teach
ers questioned answered in
the affirmative, but some had
reservations. Another 33 per
cent were against hiring Van
Doren and 17 per cent were
undecided.

Cushion Reduces
Breakage of Eggs
University Park, Pa. - (UPD -A
professor . of poultry hus
bandry at Pennsylvania State
university has developed a
"cushion" for hens that re-!
duces egg breakage and hand-;
ling. I
Dr. Glenn O. Bressler says
the cushion keeps the eggs I
cleaner than litter in a nest
and also reduces the time
needed for collecting eggs af-;
ter they are laid. ,
The eggs land on the cushion
and roll out the back into a
collection tray. The innova
tion, he says, works equally
well with conventional nests '
or with . mechanical egg col-.
lection systems.
The . cushions, made of a;
fibrous material, will last for :
several years.
