Boyle Writes:
Land: How Many Jobs Will an Acre Buy? |
In Liquor Industry
How many permanent jobs will an acre
of land buy?
At Consolidated Western Steel Division,
the first concern to come here looking for an
industrial site, it figures to about 30 jobs an
acre.    •
In the case of Du Pont’s Sabine River
Works, necessarily a highly automatic opera-
tion, the figure is now about two jobs an
acre. But Du Pont is still building on its
thousand acres and there’ll be more jobs
there, possibly many more.
Spencer and Allied are still in the con-
struction stage and Goodrich-Gulf has not
yet broken ground. Yet each of these is
obligated, in return for the land thy bought,
to supply Orange County with a specified
minimum number of permanent jobs.
• • * •
That will come as a surprise to most
people here, but it is a fact.
The federal tax structure being what
it is, there is little incentive for an owner
of large tracts of land to part with any of
it, save for-these two things:
1.    He can buy a certain number of
jobs for his community, or a certain num-
ber of homes for the people who hold
down the jobs, or a certain type of business
or professional service for the use of the
jobholders.
2.    He can increase the value of his re-
maining holdings, a fact which, if even-
tually cashed in, still means a lot more to
the federal treasury than to the land-
owner.
As we have pointed out before, land is
available here for industry, for business, and
for housing. But there are ■ certain under-
standable terms and conditions and these are
predicated more on Item 1 above than on
Item 2.
Industry, of course, must say what kind of
plants it expects to build. Are they hazardous
to the workers or to nearby people and
structures? Are they in the “nuisance” cat-
egory?
♦ • • •
These things are important, because a
community can be ruined by industry of the
wrong type.
And there’s always that $64 question: How
many permanent jobs will each acre of land
buy for Orange County?
None of this is to say or suggest that
selling land to industry in Orange County is
a purely philanthropic enterprise. It is not.
The customary business considerations al-
ways are involved.
It just happens to be the county’s good
fortune to have largo blocks of land with
Industrial potential and owners who
consider tho economic and social aspects
as they affect tho area as a whole when
they are approached by a concern wanting
to buy acreage.
• • * *
This philosophy also is extended to tran-
actions involving land for housing and busi-
ness, to the community’s benefit
Housing developers must say how many
new homes they expect to provide, and in
what period pf time. They must present de-
tailed plans showing that their construction
will be a credit to the community. Out of
the latter, and other factors develops the
answer to an all-important question. What
are the chances that this development event-
ually will become a alum area? Orange al-
ready has enough slums and potential slums.
Prospective new businesses must give as-
surance that their structures also will be a
credit to the community. Permanence and
appearance are of great importance in a city
trying to match commercially a permanent,
good-looking industrial nucleus.
Knowing that these things enter into the
picture helps all of us to understand some
of the things that already have taken place
and some which are down for the future.
Just What Is Management?
Allied Chemical and Dye Corp. has set
up a management development program for
its Hopewell, Va., plant and some of the re-
marks made by the company’s president,
Hugo Riemer, at a kickoff dinner are of
considerable interest. We quote:
. . The all-absorbing subject we are
concerned with is management—manage-
ment of an industrial enterprise which ren-
ders an important and essential service to
mankind and must grow and prosper in
order to continue its service or even to
continue its existence.
“The purpose of an industrial enterprise
such as ours is to make a profit, to make
money for its stockholders who furnished the
capital to establish the enterprise—to make
a profit for its stockholders consistently over
a long period of time.
“That means a high order of service to
our customers to keep them coming to us
to buy; maximum efficiency of operations
at minimum cost to enable us to meet and
exceed competition; continuous improvement
in our plants and processes to avoid obsoles-
cence; diversification of our products to
strengthen our market position, and a re-
spectful regard for human relations in our
dealings as management with the other em-
ployes of the division and with our neigh-
bors to assure and safeguard our operations
and our position in the communities where
our plants ate located.
* • * *
“It is the job of management, it is our job,
to carry out that purpose .. -.
“Now what is this management we
■peak of? It is thinking, planning, guiding,
directing, and most importantly, getting
things done through other people—certain-
ly these things.
“But isn’t it more than that? Isn’t it a
state of mind as much as anything else—
an attitude? 1 think so. I think manage-
ment is doing the job in hand of thinking,
planning, guiding, directing with a men-
tal eye cocked for the over-all job the
division has to do ...
“I think it takes ambition—ambition for
personal accomplishment and advancement,
yes—but personal accomplishment in the
direction of progress for the division which
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP)_The boot-
legger is enjoying boom times in
America again.
He’s getting to be a big opera-
tor, just as he was in Prohibition
days. He is able to put up $25,000
to $60,000 for a still that will turn
out a thousand gallons of alcohol
a day.
He has new list* of suckers eag-
er to buy his cases of “smuggled”
scotch or Canadian whisky at cut-
rate prices. He is again using
counterfeit labels and tax stamps
on a big scale.
Maybe no one has offered you
a bargain basement buy in moon-
shine lately, but the liquor indus-
try says moonshine is being sold in
parking lots, candy stores, gas
stations, cigar stores, and by tele-
phone. It says the bootleggers have
henchmen working in hotels,
apartment houses, business build-
ings and industrial plants all over
the United States.
Postwar Rise
The ’postwar rise of the boot-
legger has the regular liquor in-
dustry more than annoyed. It is so
angry that it is considering hiring
its own agents anl lawyers to
track down bootleggers and help
the government convict them.
Ralph Heymsfeld, 42. president
of Schenley’s and a spokesman for
the industry, feels the government
isn’t doing enough to wipe out
bootlegging.
"Moonshine has a romantic his-
tory. The hillbilly moonshiner la
part of our folklore. We’re not
worried about him.
“But we are concerned about
the big operators who have moved
into the cities. No one can say for
sure how much illegal whisky is
being sold. But I say you can go
anywhere in New York—or any
other major city—and buy bootleg
whisky within 10 minutes. Any-
body who wants it can get it. The
supply equals the demand.”
High Taxes
Heymsfeld said that the distilled
spirits industry paid $1,840,850,650
in federal and state taxes in 1953
roughly $13.25 a gallon, but that
the government spent less than
six-tenths of one per cent of this
revenue to enforce the liquor laws.
“Most bootleggers get suspended
sentences,” he added. “Only a
third are sent to jail. The courts
simply aren’t doing the job.
“Curiously, the government con-
centrates its campaign against
bootlegging in the southern states,
but the bootleg industry actually
is flourishing in every section of
the country.
“They seize 20,000 stills a year
but the amount of bootlegging isn’t
going down. W« say it’s increas-
ing.”

7^s>.
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate started 1854 fast. Then it
bogged down on the idea of
amending the Constitution. Nows
it’s playing by ear.
Right after returning in January
it gave quick approval for this
country’s joining Canada in de-
veloping the St. Lawrence seaway.
That was a step it hadn’t been
willing to take in the past 20
years. This time it was spurred
on by President Eisenhower, who
backed the seaway, plus notice
from Canada she would act alone
if Congress balked.
Then the Republican Senate
leader. Sen. Knowland of Cali-
fornia, trotted out something
which Eisenhower didn’t approve.
That was the proposal by Sen.
Bricker (R-Ohio) to amend the
Constitution so as to limit the
scope of treaties negotiated by the
President and ratified by the Sen-
ate, and to provide for congres-
sional regulation of executive
agreements not submitted to the
Senate.    ,
Until Eisenhower took a standi
against it, saying it would ham-'
string a president in foreign af-
fairs, it seemed the Senate might
approve.
Bricker had a lot of support un-
til then. Then his supporters be-
gan to melt away. That didn’t stop
days of debate though.
That was to be expected: Brick-
er’s amendment involved Supreme
Court decisions, treaties, agree-
ments, and acts of Congress going
far back in history. It was a law-
yer’s field day.
Soon it became clear the Bricker
amendment had no chance as it
stood. Still, there was an appar-
ently still is quite a bit of Senate
sentiment for some kind of con-
stitutional restriction on treaties
and agreements.
Those whq urge it argue like
this: states and individuals need
to be protected against action by
some future president infringing
on their laws or liberties.
Just as it seemed the whole idea
of an amendment might go out the
window. Sen. George (D-Ga)
came up with one of his own.
This was a modified version of
the one Bricker offered. The
White House didn't accept that
one either.
But there was a slight differ-
ence between the way Bricker of-
fered his amendment and the way
George produced his.
For two years the Senate Judi-
ciary Committee considered Brok-
er's proposal, held hearings, heard
witnesses, took its time.
Then It sent to the full Senate
for debate a proposed amendment
which was not quite what Bricker
offered but still bore his name.
George’s Proposal
The proposal by George, al-
though he may have consulted
many of the same staff experts
and lawyers who advised the Ju-
diciary Committee, was not the
subject of any hearings or com-
mittee study. It has been consid-
ered only on the floor and in con-
ferences with administration offi-
cials.
Now Bricker .Is saying he and
George may get together and
agree on language In an amend-
ment both could back.
This attempt to write out a con-
stitutional amendment without
more hearings and discussion has
been criticized by some senators
as a too-hasty attempt to make a
change in handling foreign af-
fairs, since the language some day
might be given an interpretation
not intended now.

Magnates Square Off; Battle for Control
Of U.S. Industries as Spring Approaches
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (AP)—The sap of
belligerency is rushing the spring
season in the corporate world. A
record crop of personal business
donneybrooks seems sure today to
burgeon at annual stockholder
meetings in coming weeks.
Titans and would-be Titans of
industry are sharpening horns.
The prizes: Some luscious charm-
ers in the financial and business
world.
The contestants, either avowed
or named against their will: •
Robert R. Young and the House
of Morgan, with the Vanderbilts
past and present, dragged in for
good measure:
Howard Hughes and his critics;
Buck Dumaine and Patrick B.
McGinnis, plus assorted Cana-
dians;
The White boys—William of
New York Central, and Francis
W. of American Woolen—the lat-
ter pitted against various less than
admiring stockholder groups, with
Royal Little as a side dish.
And even, in a sense, those old
feudists of 90 years standing, the
Yanks and the Southerners—each
trying to win the affections of the
textile industry.
The railroad, textile and movie
worlds are the favored fields for
dissesson at the iftbment. But
these things have a way of spread-
ing. And the spirit of strife seems
likely to spill over into all fields
when the stockholders foregather.
Some of the reasons: Growing
competition and falling sales turn
the spotlight on management poli-
cies, records and abilities: and
when dividends are threatened,
the stockholders tend to roar like
a bull moose charging a diesel lo-
comotive.
The stockholder battles, and the
glittering generals in command,
are:
RKO Pictures: Multi-millionaire
Howard Hughes is the principal
stockholder and wants to be the
only one. Some other stockholders,
including two directors, who re-
signed Saturday, think Hughes
isn’t running the movie company
right—in spite of his record for
discovering busty actresses.
Next month stockholders will
vote on Hughes’ offer to buy ali
the stock.
