Evening Journal, Wilmington, Del. Thursday, February 8. 1961 Mind Your Business Electric Men Ponder Future in Business today the relation of man happened here to the electric By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst PHILADELPHIA P. -Executives from top to bottom of the corporate ladder can reappraise to company in the wake of what equipment industry. What happened was: The roof fell in.

As a result of guilty or no contest pleas to anti-trust concharges 20, companies spiracy, pay fines totaling $1.78 million. and 44 of their executives must pay fines totaling $137.500. Jail sentences were meted out to 31, with 24 put five years probation, and seven on others ordered to jail for 30 days starting Monday. All concerned are pondering what their corporate future is. Some already have left their jobs.

In countless other industries, management men. big and little, are on notice they must as above approach as Caesar's wife in avoiding involvement in price-fixing or bid- -rigging. Many jun.or executives may wonder how far their superiors will go in backing them up--may even question some practices or policies as dangerous to themselves. THE FIRST individuals sentenced to jail looked unbelieving. Later one looked crushed or startled that they could be sentenced for doing their job as they had interpreted it.

Some openly showed resentment that they were being punished while "superiors weren't even indicted." The relation of man to company in following practices deemed to aid the firms concerned varied widely among the corporations involved. Attorneys for companies, and those for individuals, made contrasting pleas in asking chief Judge J. Cullen Ganey of U. S. District Court here for leniency, Some company attorneys said their top men were unaware of the widespread price-fixing and bid rigging in an industry with $2 billion a year sales.

Some of their men showed active resentment over salary cuts and demotions since they were indicted last spring, and insisted they were carrying out orders of their immediate superiors or instructions of their predecessors on the job. SOME OF the individuals accepted the court punishment as they had accepted their company role--doing what seemed expected. They gave no indication in court of questioning the practice they held was needed to bring stability to a once highly competitive try. Others pleaded through their attorneys they had first opposed the idea of price-fixing, banned by anti-trust laws, but found they had to go along as part of their jobs. To these, the judge mostly turned a deaf ear, saying they used substantial salaries to balm their conscience.

"He couldn't change the system," attorney after attorney told the judge in asking leniency for an individual. "The company couldn't survive if the system was changed," attorneys for top men in smaller firms The judge held firm on the central issue: The anti-trust laws must be obebyed. BUT BEYOND the question tion remains the delicate one of business ethics -and of the employe's duty to his firm, and to his conscience. Many of the defendants were at or near retirement age. The fines will bear down hard.

So will possible loss of status in company and community. Others were in middle age, a few were young and low in rank. Some of their emp-oyers say company discipline won't be added to what the court imposed. Other companies have demoted the individuals involved. In both cases the future company road for these men may be rocky.

Those who, have struck out for new jobs may face difficulties, too. Corporations the heaviest AUTO LEASE COSTS LESS AT UNION PARK! Autos are our business!
