WRONG ‘SLANTS’ ARE BLAMED IN BUSINESS ‘ILLS’

‘Friction Under Authority Discussed -by Greist For Jr. C. of C.

“A great many of ‘the difficulties .arising in personal business relationships are caused by the inabil“ity of persons comfortably to sub‘ject themselves to or administer authority,” according to Dr. John H, Greist, Indianapolis physician. .- He spoke on “Psychology of Hu‘man Relations in Business” before the Executive Leadership Forum of the Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce last night at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. © Dr. Greist is an Indiana Uni‘versity medical school graduate and did post-graduate work in psychi‘atry at Johns Hopkins University.

2 Faulty Attitudes Listed.

. Faulty attitudes, he said, of those subject to authority include: Over conscientiousness, overwork, the assumption of needless responsibility ‘to gain improvement, feelings of re.sentment- to authority and feelings

‘of suspicion. Persons having a good attitude to authority, he explained, have a cri‘tical respect for authority, lack fear of authority in general and have a sense of perspective and proportion between the: time devoted to their ‘work and their free time. “An individual who has a successful attitude when subject to authority,” Dr. Greist stated, “is usually successful in the administration of authority. Again the sense of perspective as to reasonable limits to ‘his authority make him effective in its administration.”

Lack of Respect Scored

Principal faults in administering authority, he said, are a lack of re-

‘spect for individuals, in subordinate capacity and an inability to delegate responsibility and a paralyzing ‘attention to detail. “ The leadership forum, according ‘to Edward J. Green, its director, is ‘designed to help equip young execu‘tives to meet more successfully the problems of business management

Striking One Is the Only Way of Knowing Its Presence.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (NEA) — The only way a ip. can detect mines is to strike one—and then it’s too late. Considered ‘deadliest of naval weapons, the mine carries 100 to 500 pounds of high “explosive and will sink a ship almost’ instantly. 1t is almost impossible for ia ship to travel any distance through a mine field. Mines are anchored five to 20 feet below the surface. The average mine is about four feet in diameter. It costs thousands of dollars, although generally less than the $8000 for a torpedo. Mines usually are loaded with TNT and cordite because. they give an “intense” explosion, but ordinary guncotton sometimes is used. Most mines rare self-acting—the collision between ship and mine sets off the charge. In such mines either a lever or a series of pins sets off the charge. They are operated either mechanically or electrically. . In the lever type, the case is cylindrical, with the lever coming

a ship strikes the mine, the ‘lever drives the firing pin against the primer... The. pin type, sometimes shaped like a milk pail, operates on the same principle, except that the pressure against one of the pins fires the explosion. ‘The electrically fired mine is connected with a battery dropped to the sea bottom with the anchor. The battery is: connected’ to the firing mechanism by a double conductor wire. The explosion is‘ caused, by completing a circuit ‘when the pin or lever of the mine is contacted. A type of mine, not widely used, is the controlled mine. It is. designed for defense and is laid in channels or harbors. The mine field is controlled through a station on shore. The mines, hooked up with wires, can be set so they will not explode when friendly ships pass. They can be set from the station, however, so the mines lie ready to: explode the same as self-acting mines, A mine with a 100-pound charge is destructive at a. distance of 14.7 feet. With a 200-pound charge, the - destructive radius increases to 20.5 feet; and for 500 pounds of exposive, the mine's’ damage extends 31.7 feet.

Mine-laying craft carry from 50 to 80 mines released from a chute at the stern. The standard light mine-layer weighs 1190 tons. It: is 315 feet long, 3 feet wide and nine ‘feet high. It carries five guns. It can load 80 mines and is manned by a crew of 130 men. Men on a mine-sweeper have probably the most nerve-wrack-ing navy job. They pick "up enemy mines.

The difficulty. is that the minesweeper itself has little protection against = itself’ striking a mine. Sometimes a net extends from the prow, the .wire netting itself may set off the mine. Mine-sweepers — and mine-layers are built with low draughts and so are able to avoid striking some of the deeper mines. Mine-sweepers vary from 250 t0.900 tons. A typical 275-ton boat is 187 feet long, 35 feet wide and only eight feet high. It carries a crew of 59 men and is equipped with two three-inch guns. Ground mines, said to be used

DETROIT, Oct. 13 (U.
