He is author and operator of the "Scanlon Plan," a system under which the boss and worker alike share in the operations and responsibilities of the business.

Here is some advice handed out by Scanlon: 1. Both employees and em ployers must "quit living in the vacuum" of their own jobs, offices, or departments and get out and see what the other fellow is doing. Boss Hatred Condemned 2. People must grow up to the realization that they, have to help each other if a venture is to succeed. There is no place in industry for persons who "do nasty little things to each other so that I'll look better and he'll look worse." 3.

Workers must not harbor boss-hatred" attitudes toward their supervisors. 4. The employee needs some sort of "identification" with the product a realization that he is an integral part of it. 5. Employers and employees alike must share in a program of participation, which sometimes means giving instead of receiving.

Knocks Out Junior Highs County Unable To Build Four Without Funds Four proposed" junior high schools in Jefferson County are definitely out" because voters turned down an additional 50-cent school-building tax Saturday.

R. B. Scherr, president of the County Board of Education, said yesterday the new schools could not be built without additional funds. They were planned in the Shively, Prestonia, Strathmoor, and -St. Matthews areas to ease an'icipated overcrowding in County high schools.

County schools will not experi ence any serious difficulty from overcrowding next year, Scherr said, but will the following year. The County board will restudy finances and housing to make plans for getting along on present funds. It will meet at 2 p.m. Saturday. School Buses Studied A two-session school day, with part of the children attending in the morning and part in the afternoon, is unlikely this coming year but not too unlikely later, Scherr said.

"The possibility of discontinuing school buses as an econ omy measure always faces us, but I hope it can be avoided." The board will cut from its budget the least essential items in order to have more money for new buildings, and additions. "There is nothing in our present budget that is not essential," Scherr said, "but we will have to decide which things are most essential." Scherr said he was disappointed that the tax did not pass. "The only way I can explain it is to say that the people just didn't understand the urgency of our need." Trappisis Put Their Chants On A Record Trappist monks at Our Lady of Gethsemani Monastery near Bardstown, have recorded commercially some of the Gregorian chants they sing at their daily devotions. The 12-inch, long-playing Columbia record, entitled "Laudate Dominum," has just been released. It includes a commentary by Thomas Merton, priest at the monastery and author of the best- selling autobiography, The Sev en Storey Mountain." All 260 Join In One Most of the chants are by groups of less than 10.

-but the whole community of 260 joins in the "Salve Regina." The Rt. Rev. M. James Fox, abbot of Gethsemani, said, "Our whole idea was to bring the spirit of prayer into the home. Co lumbia, he said, was asked to do the recording after the idea was suggested by laymen who had gone to the monastery for re treats.

The chants were tape-recorded at the monastery and transferred to discs in New York. Abbot Fox said proceeds will be applied to construction of the new guesthouse at Gethsemani and a new Trappist monastery in the Genesee Valley near Roch ester, N. Y.

Fredenberger testified yesterday.

Fredenberger, international vice president of the Brotherhood of Firemen ani Oilers, took the witness stand as the unions opened their defense of a contempt suit brought by the hotels. The hearing, begun Wednesday, was recessed by Circuit Judge Scott Miller to 11 a.m. today. "I don't think we have held a meeting," declared Fredenberger, "at which we did not insist the strikers conduct themselves in a peaceful manner," both on and away from the picket line. The strikers, he noted, meet almost daily.

Must Pledge Orderliness Before strikers are assigned to picket duty, he said, they must sign a card pledging to be or derly. After food poisoning Derby week at the Brown and all the other acts of violence alleged by the hotels, the unions conducted their own investigations, he continued. "We have not found that our people were involved." The hotels charge that repeated acts of violence are a violation of Miller's April 6 order restricting the unions to peaceful picketing in small numbers. Asked about Charles Elder, A.F.L. organizer accused of going through a "pantomime of vomiting" and other antics in front of the Brown's Tea Shop and Coffee Shop, Fredenberger replied: "We requested that he be transferred away from Louisville, and he has been transferred to Oak Ridge, Tenn." Despite Elder's position with the A.F.L., "he had no official connection with the strike," Fredenberger added.

No Accusation Recalled Fredenberger was asked by Charles I. Dawson, counsel to the hotels, if he hadn't made a statement accusing the hotels of violence to discredit the unions. He said he recalled no such statement. Dawson recited specific acts of violence, and asked what motive the hotels possibly could have for committing them. Fredenberger replied that the hotels would like to see picketing stopped, "and if that would be enough to get rid of picketing, it would be worth it." "Didn't you" realize that the food poisoning would hurt the hotels?" Dawson pressed.

Has Hurt Us "It has hurt us by alienating public opinion," the witness replied. Eighteen employees and 50 Derby eve guests were' stricken in two outbreaks of food poisoning. Six police officers fwho have been stationed at the struck hotels testified that picketing has been peaceful, and that no more than two pickets have been carrying placards at each entrance. Mrs. Adema Martin, 1626 W.

Walnut, defense witness, told the court that Lawson tried to "scare" her into testifying for the hotels. He Frightened Me She is a neighbor of Mrs. Viola Bodine, Kentucky Hotel maid who claimed in earlier testimony to have been assaulted near her home one night by five women, including two strikers. Mrs. Bodine had stated, she ran to Mrs.

Shaikun, attorney for the unions, laughed. Was In Bed With Flu Mrs. Martin, who described herself as a missionary, was asked by Dawson: "Who ara you a missionary for, the unions?" "No, a religious publishing house," was the reply. Mrs. Maria Ingris, 923 S.

U.S. Workers Get Warning On Wage Tax More than 2,500 federal em ployees working in Louisville face penalties and possible prosecution for failing to pay the City's 1 per cent occupational tax, Ben J. Brumleve said yesterday.

Brumleve, who is secretary treasurer of the City's sinking fund which collects the levy, said his staff is preparing a list of the delinquent federal employees. Warnings that interest and penalties have been added will be sent to most of those" who have not paid, but in flagrant cases, warrants will be taken out, Brumleve said. In the latter; group are those who never have paid the levy since it went into effect July 1, 1948. Brumleve explained that the Federal Government, unlike other employers here, does not withhold the 1 per cent levy from employees' salaries. This makes it necessary for the workers to file returns.

The deadline was April 15, but only 4,000 of the approximately 6,500 federal employees in Louisville filed tax forms by that date, he added. The occupational-tax ordinance provides fines of from $5 to $100 for failing to file a return with the sinking fund. It also provides for penalties and interest totaling 1 per cent a month.

Maas' three sisters are contesting the will, which left him the bulk of a $100,000 estate and the daughters conditional bequests of $5,000 each. Tells of Strained Relations Progressively strained relations existed between his mother and sisters, Maas testified. His brother John, he said, was bitter toward his mother and threatened both her and Stanley.

He said his mother considered that his sisters' efforts to get John a parole from LaGrange Reformatory, where he was sent for killing his wife, was an effort to spite her. Stanley said that before his father's death he visited his parents daily on the way to his office, and continued to visit his mother daily after his father died. Due to Many Things' He said strained relations between mother arid daughters were due to many things their effort to keep his mother from doing what she wanted to do with her property, their failure to visit her, their attempts to turn her against Stanley's wife. He never tried to coerce her or argue her into any provisions of her will, he testified. His cross-examination will be resumed today in Judge Ward Lehigh's court.
