Reshevsky was a study in poise and confidence in a neat blue suit, cigarette perched between two fingers, arms folded, eyes blinking behind bi own-rim glasses, his bald and bulging head shining a bit in the fluorescent lighting. He sat beneath a portrait of him-self, the only decoration on the gray walls of the tournament loom of the 9()- ear-old Manhattan Chess Club. On the archway entrance was pasted a penciled sign: "Spectators are requested not to snore in the tournament room." This ning a trip to Victoria, B.C., as a reward.

Gordon kept selling papers until he was in his second year at University of Manitoba, by that time having a couple of youths working for him on his routes. At night he worked at a bowling alley and a movie house to help finance his education. Yet he graduated in arts with highest honors. Three years later, in 1929, he repeated the performance in winning his law degree. But before that he was a semi-pro baseball catcher, playing at Weyburn and Swift Current.

Minot, N.D., and in the Winnipeg Senior League. He also had played hockey, lacrosse, soccer always as a goalie. "I liked to stay in one place and let the play come to me," he recalled. Does this theory apply in his business technique? "Well, I certainly dont believe in the ivory tower type of business." said Mr. Dakins.

"I travel 50,000 miles a year, including two annual trips across Canada." In the tough depression days, Mr. Dakins left his law practice for work as a shoe salesman in a Winnipeg department store, soon moving into the credit side of the business, and later becoming credit manager for an oil company in Toronto. "My law training has been a great help it enables one to strip things of non-essentials and get to the root of a problem," he said. But it was a hobby that spread his fame in the business world. Mr.

Dakins, who was called "the professor" by his schoolmates because of his wide vocabulary, became an authority on the "tactful" and precise business letter, and was in demand as a public speaker on the subject.

Dakins, 54, his five-foot, 10-inch frame showing the fitness of the athlete he used to be, has a mild but firm manner as he presides over these hustle-bustle operations. N.R.D.G.A. is a sort of vast information clearing house, watchdog and idea centre for member companies whose annual business is estimated at 19.000.000.000. It has 8.200 members in 37 countries, including 200 in Canada. "There's a great deal of talk these days about Canadians," said Mr.

Dakins. "Whenever I'm asked how Canadians and Americans differ. I'm liable to talk about myself. "I could always latch onto ideas better than I could originate them, for instance. Canadians are a practical race.

They can take ideas and make good use of them. They have the tenacity to stick to a thing better than Americans, perhaps because they are used to working harder." John Gordon Dakins, son of a carpenter-contractor, went into business for himself selling newspapers when he was 12.

Never in the history of the world has a 14-year-old boy been pitying, and winning, from masters and grandmasters." Bobby is a very quiet boy. His reaction at the moment of winning was typical.

He looked at his mother and said, "Let's go home." Asked yesterday, on the morning after his victory, if he would care to be interviewed for the papers, he said, "Nah, can't talk to you today." Did he think he would be able to talk some other day? "Nah, don't think so." His voice is piping, hasn't changed yet. But the top of his forward-brushed towhead reaches about five-feet-nine. He ha a long nose and thin, angular face and he plays chess with a pleas-pnth studied air, flicking his head to the right occasionally as it rejecting strategy ideas. During the final, round he gp.ngled into an anteroom between moves and a chuckling admirer clutched his painfully thin shoulder and boomed: "Say, he's getting a little fat on 'urn, hah?" Bobby last summer won the U.S. open championship.

With this new, and top, title he is eligible to be declared an international grandmaster and compete for the world championship, now held by Vassily Smyslov of Russia.
