Qualified Executives Losing Job Chances

NPTA To Make Request For Three Per Cent Commission On Tickets

NEW YORK (AP) — The executive job market is booming again, with perhaps 5,000 new openings a month in the 515,000 and up category, but a lot of applicants are writing themselves into the discard heap. These otherwise accomplished executives haven't mastered the simple art of writing a resume that will give the facts clearly and concisely, says William Breitmayer, who scans thousands each month. About 15 per cent of those received by Breitmayer, president of Executive Register, “are messy and illegible, are shoddy quality machine copies, or simply are so poorly written that even we can’t make head or tail of them.” It’s understandable, says ft-eitmayer, whose company computer processes the applications for its corporate clients, that an executive, like anyone else, would find it awkward to write about himself. “When a successful person severs relations with a company it’s like a divorce, even if he initiated the action. He feels on the defensive and he doesn’t present his best. He finds it difficult to tell a straightforward story.” The same curious phenomenon has been observed elsewhere, too. When 40-f.lus clubs were formed in 1970 to help find jobs for idle executives aged 40 or more, it was found that resumes were one of the Viet War Increases Trade Areas TERRE HAUTE Ind. (AP)A California businessman who recently spent two weeks touring Southeast Asia told an audience at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology here Wednesday the war in Vietnam has created many opportunities for trade in Southeast Asia. Burt Raynes, a Clinton, Ind., native and chief executive of Rohr Industries of Chula Vista, Calif., told the college audience Southeast Asia is ‘war-tom and the people need many things.” He said the Vietnamese and Southeast Asian people he met were “very industrial-minded and very competent. “The day of the political hack is over in Southeast Asia," he added, “and it is now the day of the technocrat.” Raynes also is chairman of the National Association of Manufacturers. Court Denies Woman’s Petition

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)-The Indiana Court of Appeals Wednesday affirmed a St. Joseph County Circuit Court decision denying a married woman’s petition to change her name. Elizabeth Marie Hauptly, the mother of one child and living with her husband, asked to change her name to Elizabeth Marie Howard. The court papers did not say whether that had been her maiden name. The appeals court decision said, *It should be emphasized that there is no indication that the trial court denied appellant (Mrs. Hauptly) relief under the Change of Name Statute solely or primarily because she was a married female." The decision said, “The trial court simply found that appellant did not present evidence to convince it that it would be just and reasonable to grant the change of name.”

major obstacles. It was discovered that men and women who were masters in dictating business letters to secretaries were helpless when it came to writing objective reports on their own careers, especially without a secretary’s aid. Since Breitmayer, whose headquarters are in New Canaan, Conn., with offices in New York and San Francisco, makes his living by supplying computerized data on executives to his corporate clients, he would just as soon not have to toss away several hundred resumes each month. And so he sets some guidelines: —The first item should be a brief, personal sketch that gives the reader a feeling of knowing a little bit about you. Include date and place of birth, marital status, children, address, telephones, height, weight, health, foreign languages. —The second item should be your educational background, with the names of each institution attended, majors studied, and the date each degree was awarded. These two items should use no more than onethird of the first page.

WASHINGTON (AP) - An organization of travel executives representing more than 500 major U.S. and Canadian corporations plans to ask the airlines to pay a 3 per cent commission on all corporationwritten tickets. The idea is opposed by some airlines and travel agents who operate “in-plant" ticket offices in many of the businesses. The in-house agents are paid a 3 per cent commission. The idea’s principal advocate is Mrs. Eileen Halenza of Minneapolis, traffic manager for the Pillsbury Co. and president of the National Passenger Traffic Association (NPTA), a professional group that will make the request next month. NPTA claims to be ‘the sole authoritative spokesman for the business traveler.” Mrs. Halenza said in an interview that a study of in-house travel activity for 1971, covering 100 of the association’s member firms, indicated an average ticket price of SI36 on airline revenues of more than $82 million. The cost to the companies of producing the tickets was close to $3.5 mil-

lion, or an average of $5.74 a ticket, she said. “The cost to large corporations of issuing airline tickets to their employees is burdensome and is the only function of its type that is not reimbursed,” Mrs. Halenza said. “Car rental agencies offer corporations big incremental discounts on volume business. “The airlines never offer corporate rates, even though they would have to pay travel agents 7 per cent commissions to do the work.” Mrs. Halenza said what corporations seek “is not a discount or rebate but a charge to help us cover the costs.” The Air Traffic Conference, an industry organization for the scheduled airlines, has agreed to consider the NPTA proposal at its meeting in Colorado Springs next month. Mrs. Halenza said she had tried to present the proposal at previous airline meetings as much as two years ago, but was unable to get it on the agenda. In its first presentation to an airline industry policy committee in August, 1971, NPTA said a number of corporate

What Makes The Happy Difference

Mystery pulses this week in the houses of worship. It’s a time of puzzlement, awe and wonder both for Judaism and Christianity. It’s a time of recognized travail and glad conclusions. Yet the imponderables linger. How could it be? What brought the astonishing turn-about? What makes the happy difference? Why? “I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously,” the people rejoice at the marvel. ‘The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.” It’s an olden Scriptural hymn of Israel, celebrating liberation from slavery in Egypt, which is marked by Passover this week, and it also expresses the Christian celebration of Christ’s victory over the world’s destructive enslavements. ‘In the world, you have tribulation,” He said. “But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” A kindred theme pervades both festivals, a realization of a steadfast, overwhelming love at the heart of the universe, a goodness and power that verifies release from the entrapping forces that waste and ruin life. ‘The creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God,” the missionary apostle Paul wrote of the redeeming work. “In this hope we are saved.” It is an old, continuing affair, struck by new notes. The cruelties and captivities go on.

a long, ravaging line, from Egypt’s oppressions and imperial Rome’s crucifixion of Jesus to the outrages of modern times, but the beacons of deliverance still burn. They stand as a promise, an assurance, the bedrock of an unending hope. ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you ... because you are precious in My sight,” came the divine pledge as set forth by the prophet Isaiah. “Fear not, for I am with you ... whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made.... “Though the mountains be moved. My steadfast love will not depart from you.” It is veiled, hidden, often hard to count on or even believe amid the conflicting appearances, yet it was that way from the start when those enduring signals of assurance first flamed. It seemed far-fet-ched, incredible. Could the victimized, helpless slaves break free from the world’s dominant power and mightiest army? Could Christ transcend the ruthless brutality of the Roman cross? It seemed impossible both to the followers of Jesus and also to the crying, panic-stricken Israelites. But Moses braced them up: “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord.” Thus the incredible came to pass, and the people took hold of that amazingly attested truth. Faith found roots.

The followers of Jesus also went through a valley of despair and doubt when the crisis came. They disbelieved even on that first Easter morning of the empty tomb and the startling encounters. There was a strangeness about it, a staggering of ordinary comprehension, and then, as now, people had difficulty grasping it or accepting it. They trembled and hesitated and failed to see. In the burial garden, Mary Magdalene at first thought Christ was the gardener, and then she knew. “Rabboni!” On a road to Emmaus, two followers walked with Him and didn’t recognize Him until they broke bread together. On a misty seashore, the apostles in a fishing boat didn’t recognize Him at first but then a cry went up. “It is the Lord!” The skeptical Thomas couldn’t accept it, but then Jesus appeared. “My Lord and My God!” It was an astonishing turnabout, a marvelous moment breaking through all the defeat and misery. Flashes of that luminous assurance still come today, building courage and confidence amid the adversities. “We stumble at noon as in the twilight," wrote the prophet Isaiah. “We look for justice, but there is none.” But “Arise, shine, for your light has come ... and it shall be known that the hand of the Lord is with His servants.”
