LEWIS RHEA WOODDY Papers' Ad Space Grows Waddell Reed Inc has announced the election of Robert Marchesi as a vice-president Marchesi is the director of economic portfolio and technical research John Lothschuetz has been elected vice-president and Washington counsel of United Telecommunications Inc Richard Croker was appointed vice-president and associate general counsel Lothschuetz joined United of Ohio as secretary and general counsel in 1969 and was elected vice-president in 1971 Croker has been in charge of United Washington office since 1971 Jack Stone has been promoted to assistant vice-president of ISC Financial House consumer finance subsidiary of ISC Industries He will oversee branch operations in the Kansas City metropolitan area Midwest Research Institute has announced the promotions of Dr Ivan Smith to senior advisor for environmental science Dr Chatten Cowherd to principal chemical engineer Dr Ben liu to principal economist and Loren Moseley to principal environmentalist Butler Manufacturing Company announced the election of Charles Gardner as vice-president of operations for the agri-products division Gardner joined Butler in 1950 has named Joseph Montaleone manager of the new East Independence Mall store Mrs Diana Scherer was named manager of the Plaza store and Larry Washa is the new manager at Indian Springs Keith Wallace was elected vice-president of United Missouri Bank South Wallace joined the bank in 1972 and is manager of the installment loan department of the major advertising agencies will use television for image ads for their clients and newspapers for the Morton said The McCann-Erickson report said newspaper ad share of total advertising has grown at the rate of one-tenth of 1 per cent for the last three years to 302 per cent of total in 1973 from 299 per cent in 1971 Most of this growth has come from magazines whose share of total dollars has shrunk sharply to 58 per cent last year from 66 per cent in 1971 the report says no magazine around now that can draw the audience of a Look or Morton said share of total ad dollars has also declined to 67 per cent from 7 per cent in 1971 some of which has gone to newspapers on a local level Direct mail advertising has continues steadily at 147 per cent of total ad dollars though a decline in direct mail is expected when higher postal rates go into effect will probably pick up some of Morton said New York Newspapers increased their already-dominant share of the total axivertising dollars 1973 and the energy changed some newspaper advertising patterns two studies show A breakdown of money spent last year on advertising compiled by McCann-Erick-son a new York advertising agency said newspapers obtained $76 billion or 302 per cent of the total advertising revenues of $251 billion Television received $45 hillion in ad revenues radio took $17 billion and $14 billion went to magazines the agencys report said Newspapers also took the larger part of advertising dollar growth gaining $587 million That compared with an increase of $402 million by television $78 million for radio and $8 million more for magazines according to the report Yet newspaper advertisers last year changed substantially a report on the newspaper industry by Delafield-Childs Inc a Maryland-based stock brokerage firm says Newspaper advertising revenues were boosted last year by more ads from transportation and oil companies plus hikes in ad rates These helped offset sharp declines in resort and travel advertising and in classified help-wanted ads the Delafield-Childs report said benefited from the rise of explanatory advertising in 1973 For instance the oil companies which usually do not advertise in newspapers spent a lot of money explaining their side of the gasoline shortage last said John Morton one of the authors of the Delafield-Childs report for planes trains and other transportation were published more regularly in newspapers and newspaper ad rates rose sharply in the order of 8 to 10 per cent on Morton said increases helped make up for losses in travel and resort ads and in classified help-wanted ads which fall every time unemployment he said Both Delafield-Childs and McCann-Erickson noted a general trend in marketing toward local advertising which benefited newspapers Inflation-Sharing Idea Could Be Morale Booster By A Livingston a morale thing You don't believe it will have any real economic impact do you? Besides do That was the not-for-attributioo response of the chief executive of a nationwide financial institution when I broached the idea of inflation-sharing: Let those at the top feel it as well as those at the bottom This was my argument: Business executives are well insulated against rising prices Officials in the executive suites of General Motors Ford First National City Bank IBM and so on feel called on to caution their cooks: lees sugar the price is too And if a special tax is imposed on gasoline they won't Insist that tbeir chauffeurs go slow on mileage Nor will they have to change their tailors because the cost of the and has advanced Furthermore unlike workers top executives are not likely to be laid off during a recession by the sweep of circumstances beyond their control In short they and their families are above the battle that workers' families wage each week against the stealth of living standards at the supermarket and department store This was my suggestion: Let executives whose incomes exceed $100000 a year take a voluntary cut in pay until in fiat inn subsides Additionally during this period let corporate profit-sharing and performance bonus plans be suspended Most executives I suspect will brush this Idea aside arguing that it would disrupt established salary scales If executives of Corporation A cut their salaries Corporation would then come along and bid away some of the men at the top To me rationale not reason When executives reach the $50000 and $100000 level they change jobs for opportunity rather than money It would take a major difference in pay close to 50 per cent to cause a person near the top to switch And then the large pay differential would equate to a large opportunity differential The type of voluntary pay adjustment talking 10 to 15 per wouldn't do violence to the salary pecking order I've tried out the idea on businessmen and bankers It hasn't been embraced And an understatement But it rejected as utter nonsense in every instance The head of a multinational enterprise said he has been considering proposing the cancellation or deferment of performance bonuses However since no decision has been reached he hesitates to say anything about it for publication Edward Cushman executive vice-president at Wayne State University and a professor of political science thinks the idea has merit He's a former vice-president of American Motors Corp and is still a director He said to me: we are to combat inflation the American people have to feel that the burdens are shared with some degree of equality In this businessmen should assume both leadership and responsibility sure if you propose that executives earning $100000 or more a year voluntarily reduce their salaries and that profit-sharing and bonus plans be suspended be described as an impractical idealist Some might even call you a subversive If you're willing to take that risk encourage you to make the The economic consequences of voluntary cuts at the top will be limited They would not add to incomes Nor would they enable corporations to lower prices The amounts won't be significantly large but the action would be symbolically significant By voluntarily reducing their income standards executives will indicate tangibly in dollars and cents that they are not indifferent to the forced lowering of living standards of others There's only one way to combat inflation That's through greater output per worker necessary to have goods chasing dollars instead of dollars chasing goods Then prices would come down If workers could feel that the ravages of inflation were being shared more equitably they might be more receptive less derisive pleas for greater productivity They might be persuaded that the more they produce for each dollar of pay the better off they and everyone else would be in the long run In short inflation-sharing is a No argument about that The rational the complex of jobs and opportunities for all of is really a national lottery Everybody can't win And the grim irony is that during recessions hardship trickles down more rapidly and widely than up It could serve a purpose for those who are buttressed against misfortune to indicate tangibly their concern for those who are hard put to defend against it Stocks Sink Again ever admit your age we could collect your social
