BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York - (DPI) - The slow down in the economy the past year has put emphasis on executive r e plnccment op p o r t u nitles rather than newly created jobs. A year and a half ago the situation was reversed, with 52.7 per cent Uenry ueclUold of the execu tive openings falling into the now job category. This is one of the findings in an analysis of six surveys conducted over the past 18 months ' by Executive Man power Corp., a management recruitment firm. Three sur veys were conducted among large companies averaging sales over $100 million a year and ' three among smaller firms averaging sales of slight ly more than $10 million. ' Among the larger firms, sales executives wore the most wanted, but management skilled in manufacturing and production, and those cxperi- ' enccd in general manage ment, research, industrial and personnel relations also are in great demand.

(UPI Telephoto) in Economy Putting on Executive Posts The need for engineers, now ranked fourth with 14.7 per cent of the total, fell off sharply from previous highs of 22.5 per cent and 23.6 per cent which ranked it second in two earlier polls. - However, EMC president William A. Morion said there always Is continuing need for the engineer who can step into a responsible position and take charge of a company department. Today, the survey showed, more jobs in the large firms are paying $20,000 or more than previously tallied in earlier surveys, although few er jobs are available in larger companies than was the case in mid-1050. Contacting Executives The fact that 30.1 per cent of the larger companies now use management recruiters as against 29 per cent some 18 months ago, is indicative of the special services demanded by management as business practices become more com plex, Hertan doclurcd. The reason behind this trend, he said, is that corporations can not spare the time themselves to search out qualified special ists for lop jobs.

Sales Positions Lead As with the larger com panies, sales positions lead in opportunities. But engineer ing executives are next in de mand, replacing manufacturing-production specialists who were second - ranked in the June, 1960 poll. Smaller firms also have resisted the drop In the num ber of job openings on hand with very little change show ed over the past year. The average age of the larger firms' lop executives was concentrated in the 45 lo 55 group, but the smaller; firms showed a wider range of between 40 and 55, with the 55 group declining from the previous poll.

These volunteer workers in clude both young and old. Some are members of families which have been faithfully re porting the weather for half a century or more. The Tow ers family of Rome, Ga., for example, has been taking weather readings for more than 100 years. Who are these people? The weather bureau says they are country store owners, house wives, farmers, working men and women, lawyers, judges, preachers, doctors, teachers, company executives.

So without the volun teers, the bureau simply could not accumulate the data it has to have to get a slant on the climate, make forecasts, and do weather research. The bureau chief, Dr. F. W. Reichelderfer, said recently that the records of the Coop erative Observers corps "en ables us to provide an effec tive climatological service -in fact, one of the best in the world." The volunteers have saved uncounted lives and prevent ed incalculable damage witn timely warnings of floods and tornadoes. Their records have settled many a court case. What do they get out of it? Lapel badges, special awards, certificates, personal satisfac tion plus, on occasion, consid erable discomfort and trouble. They have been loyal unto death. Ernest W.

Botlel of Elk Valley, Calif., started for his instrument shack and al most didn't make it. A sudden wind storm snapped a 150 pound limb from a tree. The limb crashed down through some telephone lines. Bottcl was knocked groggy by the limb and tied up by the wires. The wind then slammed him against a building. But he got his readings. J. E. Duane, in charge of a fishing camp at Long Key, Fla., had a busy night when a hurricane hit the key Sept. 2, 1935. He wound up uncon scious in a palm tree. But he managed to jot down continuous barometer readings before the sea rose up and snatched the instrument away from him, and when he came to four hours later - 20 feet Virgil R.

McNeley observed a tornado approaching Grove spring, Mo Sept. 26, 1959, and drove through the town giving the alarm and helping people to safety. Most of the town was destroyed. These incidents are typical. Why do these people take on and chain themselves for years to so exacting a job? Judge A. S.
