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.

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.

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.

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.
