Senator Robertson Says ‘Businessman* Cabinet Viewpoint Must Undergo Certain Adjustments

The conflict bo - ween a "business ior' cabinet and! aws which state; government officials' thnll not negotiate with companies in which they have fi nancial interest, is

Sen.Robcrtsondescribed in Sena tor A Willi? Rob ertson's current weekly Washing ton column. Senator Robertson also suggests the possible conflict between gov ernment business, operated for the amend welfare, and private busi ness. with U: t ye to profits and the transition a businessman ad ministration faces thereby. Sen ate)! Robinson writes

Wilson Case In hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee it de veloped that Charles E. Wilson, chosen for Secretary of Defense, owned more than $2 500.00 worth of stock in General Motors, plus additional stock bonus rights and that the. men Wilson had picked for hi: deputy and for .Secretaries of the Army Navy and Air Force also wert substantially interested in companies which do business with the : overnnient "Tin pattern by which this problem could be solved was set, •several days later when Wilson indicated his willingness to dis pos< of his holdings although it might cost lum SaiiO.OOP or more in addition to the loss he was tak liv. by acceptin'' a $22,500 salary instead of the StiOO.OOO a year he has- bein get ting.

1 have such hi"h retard for Mr. Wilson's ability to administer the defense spending procram ec onomically and efficiently and such confidence is his personal in tegrity that I was pleased when he took the only loeical step to brine his ehcibihfy for public service into harmony with exist ill" law

Iliisines* Heads Needed "As I have said, the country wants, and the country needs, a business administration because a government that ic spending ovei seventy billions of dollars a year is a bin business tntcrprise. It must be remembered. however that there is a vital difference be tween government busines and private business with respect to tile ovehill objective Our government was institut ed in the language of our Con stitution. to promote the genera! welfare. In other words, the pur pose of government is to render service, while the primary purpose of private business is to make a profit on the money invested. For the industrial leader trained in tlie business of making a profit on his investment, to become a suc cessful statesman, it is necessary for him to be imbued with a sympathetic understanding of the problems of the common man and to be motivated by an ambition to prompt! the welfare of the masses. President Eisenhower hit the keynote of this attitude m his inaugural prayer when he said: Especially we pru\ that our con cern shall be foi ail the people.'

Maces Continue to ! Be Symbols Showing Authority, Power LONDON — The coronation of Queen Elizabeth m London next June will bring the Crystal Mace, famous symbol of the l ights grant ed to the city by the crown, into active ceremonial use twice within the space of a year. Usually the most prominent ap pearance of London's ancient mace is its annual transfer from the out going Lord Mayor to his successor. This ceremony took place this year early in November. Next June the mace will appear again, at the coronation, when the Lord Mayor will bear the ancient sceptre m the procession. The man to be honored in June is Sir Rupert De la Here, who accepted it from lus predecessor. Sir Leslie Boyce in the November ceremony The Crystal Mace- "perhaps the most prized emblem of the Mayor alty"—is nt such antiquity that its exact origins are unknown. It is 18 inches long and the shaft is [ carved rock crystal, probably of ancient S a \ o n craftsmanship, adorned with gold bands. The head, believed to date from the 15th century, is also of gold, adorned with pearls Use of mace as a symbol of au thority is an exceedingly ancient practice, possibly going back to Roman days when officials bore fasces -an axe bound in a bundle of rods, denoting power to flog with the rolls or put to death with the axe. I he mace continues to represent power Maces are exhibited to show that parliaments in most Brit ish Commonwealth nations are in session, and Colonial English maces are prized possessions of ■South Carolina and of Norfolk, Va.
