CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX
a doctor's degree was about all I felt I could
take in .1 day. Then he approached me in
that tears in his voice' persuasive way of
his to tyhlch there is no such thing as saying
no, and I ended up having, to assume this
responsibility. ,lie assured 'me that r was
the only person in the world who could make
this talk and, of course, modestly I had to
accept.
I assume this is the first time that you
have graduated from college and listened to it
comuz0nceme4tspeech. Well, it's the first
time I have made a commencement speech.
Reminds me of Ithe time we had a newcomer
out, at the ranch and he wanted to learn to
.ride horseback. He said he had never ridden
a horse before. We told him that was just
fine-that we had a horse that had never
been ridden before so they should get along
well 1@asniny, together. The horse came out
best.
You're hearing your first commencement
talk and,.I amr,making the first one I ever
made, so please be kind. Tonight I am like
the boy fidin~ his first horse-I may lose
the bout.
It is surely a great day for you students,
or ex-students'as case may be. You have
accomplished one of your niostimportantob-
jectives in life.- You are privileged to attain
this objective. which many, many people
never reach. 'You are fortunate. Your good

I remember well something Bob Wodruff
of Florida said in one of his talks to some
football boosters. Bob was not an outstand-
ing public speaker, but he said something
that night that impressed Me deeply. It
was at the time that Haywood Sullivan was a
big star on the Florida team and one of the
country's greatest passers. Bob said, "Of
course, Haywood Sullivan is one of the great-
est passers in the country today, but I, Bob
Woodruff, did not make him a great passer.
He was a great passer when he was 11 years
old in Dothan, Ala., playing sandlot football.
We merely could take this basic ability and
refine it and train him in Improved timing
and methods to make him even a greater
passer. The ability had to be there-we only
had a chance to bring It out."
In trying to find the field you want, in-
ventory yourself honestly, What are you good
at? What do you like to do? If you select
something you have a natural ability for
and something you like, the wind will be
with you. You need to analyze the things
you think about. If you study about busi-
ness, corporations, stocks, etc., you prob-
ably will find your-best ability in a business
field. If you wonder about growing things,
agriculture, animals, etc., you probably need
to be in ranching or farming. If you study
about how buildings are erected or bridges
are constructed, you Iean to engineering. If
you dislike working for someone and if you
handle your money well, maybe you should
run your own business. Then you won't be
working for someone, you'll, be working for
everybody. If you study about forcing peo-
ple to make talks such as I am doing here
tonight, you probably will make a college
president.
I can't describe all of the various exam-
ples existing, but what I am trying to say
is that you need to get Into something that
you like and something you like to think
about and something-that can consume you
and possess you. There has never been a
very big success made by anyone who didn't
love their work, who `didn't enjoy doing it,
and whose job didn't grab them, hold them,
and thrill them. If you can't find something
like this, your success is apt to be mediocre,
and this is pretty bad. To me, being medi-
ocre as a businessman, a teacher, a lawyer,
a mother, a truckdriver, a father, yes, even
a politician, to me mediocrity is not success.
Whatever you do, do well.
A man I admired greatly wrote a slogan
that Impressed me very much. It's on my
desk now. It Is called "Design for Success":
"I can say to any person, whether he is
able or disabled, that if he expects to make
a success in business through governmental
paternalism, he is doomed to disappointment.
First, the person must decide definitely and
quickly what business he wishes to follow.
Then, forgetting obstacles and ailments, he
must apply his mind to learning every de-
tail of that business, in and out, backward
and forward. He must not let his love of
golf or tennis, or card playing, or liquor, or
gambling, or even his wife, take his eye from
his objective. He must be devoted day and
night to the task of finding out what makes
his business tick, or what is needed to make
it grow.

and small, is paying more personal attention '
to the type of men or women who will rep-
resent that business. Business today recog-
nizes that human relations are fundamental
to all business, and that all men, regardless
of their station in life, or the part they play
in the business, are interdependent and are
individually important. Business must have
a personality of its own. This personality
can only emanate from the people who oper-
ate that business.
I do want to say how much my own family
appreciates the opportunities that exist in
this great country under our system of free
enterprise. Our own attainments, starting
out with one little grocery store, is proof of
oportunity. I am sure that there are other
young fellows today in the same state of
development as we were 35 years ago who
will have as much or more success than we
have had.
Florida and the South have been good
to us, and I hope that we have demonstrated
our worthiness. Everyone must keep in
mind when they attain a degree of success
that they are the stewards of some of
worldly goods and that as stewards of these
goods they have quite a responsibility to be
good stewards.
Character is as important In any job as
it is in your home life. What you do must
inspire confidence and admiration and de-
votion from those with whom you come in
contact. It is what people think of you
that builds your reputation. It's the mis-
takes that you make-and correct-along the
way that enable you, in time, to have what's
known as good judgment.
A good personality helps. You must be
cooperative and helpful and you must un-
derstand the weakness and strength of your
fellow workers. No one wants a "yes" man
around. You should have the courage to
venture an opinion if you think you are
right. If you develop these traits you will
find them most helpful. Every successful
businessman or professional man has more
or less a different style of his own, as a great
ballplayer may have a different stance at
the plate. Remember, as you go down the
pathway of life that every other person in life
is equally important, whether the individual
is above or below you in business or social
life. Be human. Be a real person. Be
mindful of the old Dutch saying, "the
wooden shoes going up the hill often pass
the patent leathers coming down." It is
equally important that you remember the
definition of a big man which is "a man who
is big enough to be little enough to be big."
And that tells a story in itself.
In closing my talk, let me ask a question
that came out of Newsweek magazine:
"WHERE ARE THE YOUNG TURKS?
"Where is that traditional young American
who takes the 'Boy Wanted' sign out of the
window and says to the boss, "I'm your boy'?
You know the lad I mean. The bellringer,
up with the sun, last to leave, sweep the
floors, learn the line, get to know the terri-
tories, up off the canvas, shoot for the moon,
watch my dust. We've had our bellies full
of the play-it-safe boys. Where is that
enterprising youth who's willing to stick his
skinny neck out and make decisions?
"The kind of man who parachutes into
darkest Africa and opens achain of super-
markets in 60 days. 'He only has to be right
51 percent of the time to be a success,' says
Bruce Barton. America needs more young
Turks. (And more old Turks who know
how to recognize the young ones.) "
Well, I'm afraid I didn't quite fit the bill
for the young Turk and perhaps you won't,
but it is the right kind of positive thinking.

HON. CHARLES 0. PORTER
OF OREGON
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, July 2, 1960
Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, my home-
town, Eugene, Oreg., has been rated
among the top 100 industrial markets
in the Nation by a business-management
publication of Dun & Bradstreet, As the
Eugene Register-Guard aptly points out
in a recent editorial:
This indication of Eugene's economic im-
portance, when coupled with metropolitan
status achieved in the Federal census, makes
,growth predictions for our area seem even
more realistic,
The challenge for., all of us, and, yes, the
chamber [of commce], too, will be to see
that we plan properly for orderly develop-
ment in the midst of industrial and com-
mercial expansion which could engulf us if
we choose to ignore it.
Under leave to extend my remarks in
the' RECORD, I include the full text of
the editorial, "Among Top 100." I should
like to add, too, that industries seeking
area for expansion can well consider
Oregon, a State where growth is a fact,
not simply a promise.
The full text of the editorial follows:
AMONG Top 100
People connected with the Eugene Cham-
ber of Commerce, and particularly affable
Fred Brenne, chamber manager, are elated.
And they have a right to be.
Dun's Review, a business management
publication of Dun & Bradstreet, lists Eugene
among the top 100 industrial markets in
the Nation. Eugene, says Dun's, is the
central city of an Industrial area that in-
cludes several surrounding counties.
The chamber people are excited because
they feel that this recognition of the eco-
nomic importance of this area will be a spur
to further industrial expansion and growth.
It probably will.
The publication, which will be perused by
many top management people throughout
the country, conducted a survey based on
the U.S. Census of Manufacturers. The
study comes up with the top 100 industrial
markets based on the "value added by man-
ufacturing," a term which is claimed to be
the "best indicator of relative economic Im-
portance."
Eugene ranks 74th in the list, just behind
Knoxville, Tenn., and just ahead of Omaha,

In the select group is the lumber industry.
It also reveals the relative importance of
the lumber industry to the Nation's econ-

This Indication of Eugene's economic im-
portance when coupled with metropolitan
status achieved in the Federal census makes
growth predictions for our area seem even
more realistic.
The challenge for all of us, and yes the
chamber, too, will be to see that we plan
properly for orderly development in the midst
of industrial and commercial expansion
which could engulf us if we choose to ignore
it.
We'll need more expressways, arterials,
parks and playgrounds, adequate power and

Nations Week-July 17-23 7
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
.... OF
HON. LOUIS C. RABAUT
OF MICHIGAN
Mr. RABAUT. Mr. Speaker, the great
American tradition of freedom, democ-
racy and fair play are well known
throughout the whole world. From the
Declaration of Independence to the Wil-
sonian self-determination of nations to
the present-day encouragement and as-
sistance of newly emerging free nations,
this country has stood before the world
as the beacon of personal freedom and
the sovereign integrity of nations.
Sadly enough, Mr. Speaker, all nations
have not been as fortunate as the United
States in enjoying this status or in pre-
serving it. The world power designs of
certain imperialistic nations or ideologies
have led to the overwhelming, by force,
Intrigue and subversion, of many of the
smaller and weaker nations of the world.
These nations and their courageous peo-
ples still love freedom-for freedom is
an overriding right natural to all men.
While nationalities, languages, dress, and
habits differ throughout the world, the
human spirit differs but little as between
all men. Thus we free Americans are
substantially one in spirit with our fel-
low men throughout the world who have
had their freedom taken from them.
The proclamation of the Captive Na-
tions Week by the President, in pursu-
ance of a joint resolution enacted by
Congress on July 17, 1959, is a clear re-
affirmation of our wholehearted dedica-
tion to justice and freedom. Of course
none of us are naive enough to expect
the freeing of these nations merely by
the observance in this country of the
Captive Nations Week. But we do be-
lieve that this observance will serve
notice to oppressors and tyrants, indi-
cating that the downtrodden and the
underprivileged have our full sympathy,
and that they have not been forgotten in
their struggle for freedom. It will also
hearten those tens of millions who are
captives of Communist totalitarianism
behind the Iron Curtain, knowing that
their cause is in our mind and that it
has champions in this great Republic.
We shall continue to observe the Captive
Nations Week until these nations have
regained their freedom, and I am glad,

'Mr, MQMILLAN. Mr. Speaker, under
unanimous consent, I include in the
C91'TGRES$I0NAL RECORD a copy bf a survey
of business climate In the State of South
Carolina; ,
1 hope every Member of Congress will
take a few minutes of his valuable time
to read this item`which shows that South
Carolina is on the march.
-The survey follows :
A SURVEY OF BUSINESS CLIMATE IN S.OUT I
Alt OLINA
C
(Based upon thoughtful'op3nions expressed
by 285 executives of manufacturing firms
in the State. Prepared by South Carolina
State Oham'Aer, of Commerce, Columbia,
July 1960)
Taking stock: This survey by the State
chamber, was made among-manufacturers in
South Carolina in order to find out what they
swers to questions about plant expansion by
respondents' firms. This is the proof in
South Carolina's good business climate
"pudding" During the past 5 years 43 per-
cent of them have substantially expanded
-their South Carolina 'manufacturing opera-
tions. Slight' expansion is reported by 35
percent, no expansion by 22 percent.
Looking ahead, 22 percent say that their
firms will expand substantially in South Car-
olina during the next 5 years, and 42 per-
cent will expand to some extent. One per-
cent of the respondents predict that their
operations will contract to some extent, and
X Q percent did not answer. The remaining
25 percent expect operations to remain at
the present level.
The results and their use: Results of the
survey indicate that South Carolina has a
good economic climate in which to do busi-
ness. Our strong points can be utilized in
industrial development promotion, and indi-
vidual communities can compare and analyze
their own standings with how the State is
rated generally.
On the other hand, there Is a fairly ob-
vi4.11S. indication that certain weak, points
warrant correction-not - only from the
`standpoint of attracting new enterprises, but
also that of making more comfortable the
businesses already established in our midst.

tionnaire.

THE STATE CHAMBER'S CONCLUSIOIHS
In reviewing responses to the foregoing
specific questions, it is obvious that certain
factors can be capitalized upon in promoting
South Carolina's industrial development.
Industrialists now operating in South Car-
olina believe that they enjoy an environment
of healthy attitudes. They think well of our
people and of our, government. They gen-
erally describe as adequate our water, elec-
tricity, railroads, trucking, and highways.
They give good ratings to our climate con-
ditions, medical services, churches, and
banking facilities,, to the labor supply and
the productivity as well as loyalty of workers.
On the other hand, the opinions expressed
point to the need for certain improvements.
A large percentage of the respondents notes
some inadequacy in sewage and airplane serv-
ices, in hospitals and public schools, in shop-
ping and reacreationalfacilities, and in the
administration of.our workmen's compensa-
tion law.
Paraphrasing what was pointed out in the
foreword to this report, business climate fac-
tors which fallinto the approved area are
those which can ,be utilized. as selling tools
in industrial development. Conversely,
weaknesses which show up in the survey
most certainly deserve attention by those who
can do something about improving them.

piled, as a courtesy to the State chamber, by

Act.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. JOSEPH E.. KARTH
OF MINNESOTA.,
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, July 2, 1960
Mr. KARTH. Mr. Speaker, the House
may soon again consider a worthy bill to
help millions of self-employed persons-
the small businessmen, doctors, dentists,
lawyers, and other professionals-pro-
vide for themselves a sound, convenient,
and orderly plan for retirement income.
Late in the last Congress this bill was
approved by the House but unfortunately
it died at adjournment before it could be
considered in the other House and in-
cluded with the other small business
legislation which the 85th Congress
passed because of able and vigorous
Democratic leadership. This series of
measures, incidentally, if properly fi-
nanced and sympathetically adminis-
tered could well initiate the renaissance
of American small business.
H.R. 10 when enacted will round out
the basic structure in this system to help
men and women who are gifted with
ideas and energy but short of other re-
.sources to invigorate and put meaning
and substance in the idea of free enter-
prise.
Our economy is in dire trouble because
the giant corporations since World War
II have through consolidation, purchase,
or a variety of other dubious methods
crushed out of existence much of their
competition. Our country is now paying
the terrible price for the monopolization
of our economy with inflation, under-
production, and unemployment. Nega-
tive weapons of antimonopoly legislation
have failed-the promising, positive pro-
gram of encouraging small business is an
inspired effort to keep the American
economy democratic and dynamic. 'I
am proud of the leading part that the
Democratic Party, both nationally and
in my State of Minnesota, has had In
reinvigorating small business. Some
July 15
considerable tribute has to be paid too
to those fearless members of the minority
party who have voted with the Demo-
crats despite the formidable disapproval
of the Republican administration and the
big business elements who guide the
GOP.
This administration has fought tooth
and nail against any really effective pro-
gram for small business and when it has
been forced to accept, reluctantly, Demo-
cratic-sponsored measures it has prac-
ticed cold, deliberate sabotage against
small business as our distinguished and
venerable colleague WRIGHT PATMAN has
revealed.
The administration has now grudg-
ingly accepted H.R. 10 after considerable
revision in the Senate Finance Commit-
tee. It has conceded the justice of giving
the millions of self-employed persons a
fraction of the tax consideration re-
ceived by high-salaried corporation exec-
utives, those exalted employees with their
bonuses in stock, stock options, com-
pany-contributed pensions, and other
fancy emoluments-not including that
ultimate in tax evasion devices, expense-
account living.
Republicans in the administration
have at long last stopped wrapping the
flag of patriotism around them and say-
ing that to enact H.R. 10 would throw
the President's budget into deficit and
would be doing Karl Marx's work of de-
stroying capitalism.
I hope that H.R. 10 will be enacted
into law and thus spur the millions of
America's self-employed persons to do
better democracy's work of invigorating
free enterprise by helping themselves
provide for their golden years.
I urge the passage of H.R. 10.
GOP Rewrites History
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
of
HON. GEORGE M. RHODES
OF PENNSYLVANIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, July 2, 1960
Mr. RHODES of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Speaker, under leave to extend my re-
marks, I include the following editorial
from the New Era, of Reading, Pa.:
GOP REWRITES HISTORY
Black is white.
Who said so?
Why the Republican propagandists who
are trying to say that the summit collapse
and the Japanese riots and the U-2 episode
were really favorable master strokes of for-
eign policy inspired by a genius.
Now along comes a vice chairman of the
Republican State committee who had to dig
back into the mire almost 20 years to blame
the Democrats for Pearl Harbor.
This GOP pseudo-historian addressed local
Republicans last week and offered such witty
comments as: "I don't care what happened
to the summit conference, our skirts are
clean."
She then proceeded to rehash the old
wheeze that the Democrats provoked the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Maybe a
week from now she'll be trying to pin the
Tokyo riots on Democrats on the grounds
