Vacation Job Leads To Firm Presidency In Only 10 Years Chicago - (lira - In 1933, at the depth of the depression, 13-year-old Charles Harting Percy went to work selling newspapers to supplement the family income. Today, at 40, the short, stocky, good-looking Percy is president of the big Bell & Howell Co. and was mention ed by some this year as a po tential Republican candidate for vice president. Percy's life has been one of the outstanding success stories of his time. He was born In Pensacola, Fla., and his family moved to Chicago when he was 2 years old. Although they weren't wealthy, the Percys lived comfortably. Then the depres sion hit and the bottom fell Out of the family finances. After selling newspapers, Percy went on to jobs waiting on tables, running errands and doing whatever else he could to help put himself through school. While a student at the Uni versity of Chicago, young Percy got a $12-a-week job as a vacation employee at Bell it Howell Co., a Chicago firm that makes cameras, photo graphic equipment, gunsights and military items. He attracted the attention of Joseph H. McNabb, then president of the firm, and un der McNabb's guidance he turned to studies of corpora tion law, statistics and labor relations. When he was graduated in 1941, Percy was put in charge of a newly-created depart ment at Bell & Howell to handle defense contracts. Af ter time out for a Navy hitch in World War II, he rose to secretary of the firm. When McNabb died in 1949, the board of directors chose 29-year-old Percy as president of the firm-just 10 years af ter he'd gone to work for the company. He was one of the youngest major executives in the country. tie 3 CHARLES H. PERCY Once a Newsboy Percy has been building his company ever since, liberaliz ing personnel policies, branch ing out into new types of production and boosting sales. As a strong advocate for free trade, Percy also has be come one of the most influ ential members of the Repub lican party. At the GOP na tional convention in July he was chairman of the powerful platform committee. Looking back over the years, Percy said one of the Secrets of success is a "tre mendous amount of hard work." He advised young people: "First, always seek to learn as much about yourself and your own interests as possible. You must find where you think you can contribute the most. Happiness and success generally follow when a per son is doing what he likes." Percy warned not to select a field of work because it's fashionable.

CURRENT DIVIDEND RATE 4 PER ANNUM FIRST FEDERAL Savings & Loan Assn. of Medford 29 North Ivy Street Robert F. Kyle, Manager Inmate Charges in Jail House Riot Portland-fflPB - Charges of brutality In quelling a jail house riot Thursday were brought by a prisoner in a routine arraignment appear ance in Circuit Court here Friday night. James H. Bello, 33, Inmate at Rocky Butte Jail, asked Judge Alan Davis to issue a restraining order protecting him on his return to the jail. The charges were denied un der oath by Jail Supertintend- ent Jack Matthews. "There's guys had the whey beat out of them last night and Im scheduled for a hard beating tonight," Bello told the court. One prisoner was shot In quelling the abortive riot Thursday. Tear gas was used to quiet prisoners, and roads were blocked off in the area after the disturbance broke out following the evening meal. The riot was quelled In about 30 minutes. Prisoners Had Knife Edward A. Paquin, 24, Hart ford, Conn., held on an arson charge, was shot in the groin when deputies said he rushed a guard as officers moved in to herd prisoners back to their cells. Deputies said the prisoners had a crude knife made of a razor blade and a toothbrush handle. At Friday's hearing, anoth er prisoner, however, said guards did what they had to do" In stopping the riot. Larry Glenn, 24, awaiting trial on charges of burglary, said none of the ringleaders of the riot was mistreated. But Bello outlined whit he said was a course of brutality by Mathews and guards in stopping the riot. He told Judge Davis there were prisoners "lying in the hble with broken ribs and bleeding all over the floor of the cell. Roughed Up' Matthews testified that "some of those boys got rough ed up." One of the fellows was knocked out twice," he said. You take men like this (pointing to Bello), they at tack you; you got to defend yourself." He denied that any of the prisoners were taken to mess hall and worked over as Bel lo contended. Following the hearing, Mat thews admitted that one of the prisoners was in solitary confinement with broken ribs, He said the prisoner had been attended by Jack Compton, prison medic. He said Comp ton was not a doctor but had had medical training. "If a man's hurt bad we see he gets medical attention," Matthews said. Bello was returned to the jail without the restraining order which Judge Davis said would not be in order.

Watkins YEAR LENGTH A year is actually 365.2422 days in length. The extra time is taken up each four years by a leap year which adds one day for a total of 366. Division of Properly Among Descendants Dave had two children, Alan and Bob. When Alan died he was survived by three son. When Dave died later he had failed to execute a will. How will his property be divided? In most slates Bob would get one-half of his father Dave's DroDerlv with the other one-half to be split three' ways for the surviving sons of Alan. This result is reached through the application of the doctrine of "representa tion" by which the children or grandchildren of a deceased offspring take the share of that offspring. Grandchildren Would Share If Bob would have died be fore Dave and would have been survived by a son or daughter, Dave's four grand children would share his property equally, each receiv ing one-fourth of the assets to be distributed. Bob's daugh ter, for example, would have received half as much as her father would have received. Alan's sons would have had an Increase of one-sixth to one-fourth share. This result is attributable to the fact that the doctrine of representation does not ap ply when all of the descend ants of the deceased are of the same generation. In such a case each recipient takes in his own right and not as a representative of his ances tor. Therefore, each grand child shares equally with others In his generation. If Dave had not left any children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, mother or fa ther, his property would be divided equally among his brothers and sisters. There fore, Dave's nephews and nieces would take the share of any brother or sister who had died before Dave. How ever, if in addition to the ab sence of children, grandchil dren and parents, Dave does not have brothers or sisters living at the time of his death, the property goes to the person or persons bearing the closest relationship to Dave. Computed by Counting Kinship is computed by starting at the decedent, counting generations up to ah ancester common to both the decedent and the relative in question and then counting down to the kinship, It is two generations up to the grandfather who Is near est common ancester of the cousins and then two genera tions down to the other cousin. A nephew takes ahead of a cousin since ho is in the third degree of kinship with a de ceased. The father of the de ceased is a common ancestor (one generation) and then it Is two generations through the brother or sister to the ne phew. Uncles and aunts are third degree kin and second cousins are fifth degree kin of a decedent. i Tax Collect or$ Glad Man's Alive London-WPD - J. D.
