Business MirrorGood Business Management ent By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Good management, we are constantly reminded, is what gives American corporations the edge over foreign competitors. According to dozens of books on the subject each year, we have turned the management art into a science, The best selling book in Europe during the past year, In was "The American Challenge," written by a Frenchman described a situation wherein American industry might dominate Europe because of management know-how. has been deManagement, fundamentally American skill.

Americans have a reputation for being able to Identify and analyze problems and then make plans to cope with them. They are said to know how "to utilize technology and how to deploy and motivate workers. Americans, according to the popular belief, love, to plan ahead.

American corporations, one of these experts maintains, operate at 65 to 75 per cent efficiency. In other words, they are performers. This is the estimate of Bruce Payne, who runs a consulting firm of the same name with the usual "and associates" appended.

"Many of them don't even know where they'll be two years from now," he states. The absence of corporate planning is illustrated by Payne in describing a well known company with sales of more than $2 billion a year that has publicly announced it expects sales to rise 10 per cent a year.

Winebark, chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, said today.

On shorn wool sales during the marketing year, program payments are made provided the wool on which the applicant is applying for payment was shorn. from sheep or lambs which he has owned for at least 30 days. The sales document supporting the application for payment needs to be supplied, the records producer verifying should the main- 30- tain day ownership in case such verification is needed. The applicant also reports whether an of the wool on which payment is claimed is the first shearing lambs that he purchased unshorn. Payments under the program are also made on unshorn lambs which the applicant has owned for at least 30 days.

Since the lamb payments are prorated among the owners who have owned the lambs for the necessary length of time, a full report supported by records on these purchases of unshorn lambs, is necessary. The chairman reminds proI ducers that applications for the 1968 marketing (calendar) year payments under the National Wool Act may be filed with the County ASCS Office any time up to the end of January 1969. Payments on sales during the 1967 marketing year are now completed and in Indiana County, they amounted to $6,583.32. Pgh. Heart Recipient Walking PITTSBURGH.
