HIP thP prime fmtors in vale 1 Representing the consumer Walter T. Woodcock, executive dirce. tor of the Greater Alton ASMI. ia- tlon of Commerce staled that sell in(j WHS a multiple fob in which the attitude of many people arid departments were involved and the most important attitude was that of the prospective purchaser. The salesperson is the reflection Of management, he said, good salesman should know the product that Is beintr sold, the ser- Vicp department, the plant, the credit and historical background of the firm.

Woodcock warned salesmanagerii that they should guard against discount selling as that type of merchandising vvas hound to kick hack If allowed to unchecked could ruin the entire wholesale retail field. The day of order takers has paused, he said and old fashioned selling is in ordpr. Ray McAlpin, sales representative for the Shell Oil pointed up the importance of sound management and said that six essentials are necessary In a well balanced department. These are loyalty, personal appearance, approach, aggressiveness, self-confidence, planned schedule, and equipment or props. Kenneth Schulenberg, Ovvens-Tlll- nois Glass representing Industrial selling and buying outlined the process of Intra-plant selling and servicing within a large Industry wherein one plant sen-Ices and sells to another plant within the lame company.

He stressed that even in this type of selling it was necessary for the Intra-plant business to be carried on In a competitive manner that service, quality and costs were three maxims that had to be rigidly followed. He warned salespeople that It was very bad practice when selling to Industry to sell "patronage" above that of the first three mentioned basics ot selling. Henry S. Sedgwlck, manager of the Alton Sears Roebuck Co. store stressed the Importance of always recognizing that the customer is the "boss." Salespeople must also remember he said that the customer has the right and privilege of spending his dollar wherever he desires and will spend his money where he gels the best quality, food service and the right price.

Sedgwlck also pointed out that in the retailing field there is a rap- IdJy growing trend towards self- service accommodations and this type of selling should receive close study. Homer Adams of the Adams Printing Co. acted as moderator and after the panel had completed the audience took part In about an hour of open discussion and question and answer debate. Adams stated that by open vote this program was declared the best meeting yet held hy the C.ASA. The next meeting will be held Dec.

Defense Attorney Manuel Wiseman told the court he was prepared to introduce for the Jury's henpfit the original basement window, with its broken pane of glass, which has been removed from the Hendy home. His efforts, however, to qualify the witness as an expert on glass, apparently for the purpose of giving an opinion as to whether the window had been broken from the outside or inside of the house, failed and the window was never brought into the courtroom. Defense Witness Mrs.

Conrad, the last defense witness on the stand, testified that Mrs. Hendy--from the time of her release from the county jail on bond (June 20) until preparation of her defense In the case began had been employed at her nursing home In Alton. She was asked hy State's Attorney I-ewia on cross-examination if she any other present or former employe of the nursing home in the courtroom. She surveyed the courtroom and replied: "No." Chief Cialloway, one of the two state's rebuttal witnesses Thursday afternoon, was Interrogated by the prosecution about certain questions asked of Mrs. Hendy.

and her replies, during her questioning at the Alton police on two shortly after the slaying of her husband. He confirmed that Mrs. llendy had been asked on the day following the slaying if she had made any outgoing phone calls or received any calls the night her husband was killed, and also confirmed lhal her answer had been "No." (Mrs. Hendy had later admitted in A and also testified at the trial that she had talked to Dan Hendy on the phone about two hours before her husband vvas killed .) UK'- drown of Ibe Alton police, final witness in the case, gave confirmation on several ((notions asked of Mrs. llendy at the police station, and her answers, which allegedly were contradictory to portions of her testimony.

Progress of the trial Thursday afternoon was interrupted frequently by objections by the prosecution and defense counsel. Mrs. llendy admitted she had talked to Dun about her husband's insurance policies, about two or three months before Pat's death. A nephew, she testified, was IIIK a job HI the Shell refinery and Dan asked her about insurance at lhal plant She added lhat Pal had V'liHi insurance al Shell in one eiiiripiin.v. mid smaller policies in other i ompamcs.

Price officials said the Office of Price Stabilization was awaiting WSB action before considering officially the many requests received from producers for a ceiling price Increase. Labor members of the WSB, who angrily rejected a "suggestion" from Economic Stabilizer Roger Putnam that the WSB postpone its study of the case for several days, were ready to give their approval to the wage boost.

The increase, negotiated by John L. Lewis last month, cannot be a shabby instrument for the advancement and benefit of the administration leaders and their cronies-:" Asked at a news conference If he supported Senators McCarthy (R WIs.) and Jenner (R Roosevelt said: "I do not subscribe to Senator McCarthy's means or methods, but I do to his alma." He gave no direct reply regarding Jenner, but later said: "Eisenhower must have a Republican Senate and House." paid until the WSB gives its approval because it is nearly twicp as high as that automatically ap- provable under WSB cost-of-living regulations. But labor members of the WSB, which Is composed of labor, industry and public members, have argued that other wage rules justify the Increase. They say It is neither Inflationary or unstahiliz- tng. ti liustry members, however, say they have seen no evidence to indicate the pay raise Is within existing ceilings.

Price officials said a preliminary survey has indicated that the cost to producers of the new contract will run 40 cents per ton or better on the average. This includes the 10 cents per ton increase in royalty payments to the miners welfare fund. Should the WSB fail to approve the contract within the next few days the number of idle miners is certain to swell and may shut off up to 80 per cent of the nation's soft coal production. Lewis bargains for more than 350,000 bituminous miners. The last time they struck was in the long dispute over the 1949 contract negotiations.

Persons close to the WSB were uncertain just what Putnam had in mind when he sought postponement of the present WSB study of the case.
