By Don Oakley
A plebiscite conducted among its readers bv the National
Observer drew a resounding 82 8 per cent No vote on the
question of whether the federal government should use its
resources to save New York City from bankruptcy
No one contends that the result is representative of all
Americans it may not even be representative of all the sub-
scribers to the paper, but merely of those who took the trouble
to mail in their vote
But if it may reasonably be assumed that readers of the
National Observer are somewhat better informed on current
affairs, or more concerned about being informed, than the
average person, such an overwhelmingly negative vote
suggests that opposition to bailing out New York is shared by
more Americans west of the Hudson than just your Iowa
farmer or your Pennsylvania coal miner
Any number of arguments have been put forward as to why
New York must not be permitted to go over the brink — the
city s vital role as center of the nation's commerce and
culture the possible repercussions in the economy that might
well drag down other financially tottering cities and even
states
None of the arguments seems to have impressed many peo-
ple There almost seems to be a national consensus that New
York must be punished for its sins. real or unfounded New-
York. justly or unjustly, has come to stand for everything that
is wrong, or allegedly wrong with this country overgrown
government, fiscal mismanagement, bloated public payrolls
and welfare rolls, not to mention pollution traffic, crime and
vice
New Yorkers may consider this shortsighted and unfair, and
maybe it is, but it is also a challenge to them if they can pull
themselves out of this mess, without federal help they will,
have shown the way to other cities facing similar, it less
severe, crises and have earned the admiration and gratitude
— which they won't get — of all Americans
Grim grain outlook
At least for the next 10 years, the race between world food
production and population growth looks favorable Worldwide
food output is projected to grow at a rate of 2 7 per cent a year
to 1985 while demand will grow by 2 4 per cent
There are some kickers hidden in the figures, however De-
mand is expected to grow by 1 5 per cent in the developed
countries but more than twice as much — 3 4 per cent - in the
developing nations And whereas projected production growth
will be 2 8 per cent in the developed countries it will only be
2 6 per cent in the developing countries
According to the U.N Food and Agricultural Organization,
by 1985 some 34 nations with a combined population of 700
million could have a cereal deficit of from 52 million to 85
million tons worth $10 billion to $17 billion at current prices
— and they would be unable to finance this quantity of im-
ports
In the face of these statistics, food prices in the next decade
are likely to move up steadily, says Stephen C Schmidt
professor of agricultural economics at the University of
Illinois, spurred both by continuously growing global demand
and rising energy and farm production costs
Despite record grain crops in the United States this year
world grain stocks are now down to about 100 million tons, or
about a 27-day supply, he notes This is inadequate to provide a
safe margin against major crop shortfalls
But while widespread famine is not in the picture barring a
series of poor crop years, everything, says Schmidt, points
toward continued tightness in the supply and demand situation
and highly volatile prices."

WASHINGTON - Of the
millions that ex-President Nixon
distributed to make good his
campaign cry "law and order."
a staggering amount was spent
to maintain order for his own
well-being.
Through the Law Enforce-
ment Assistance Administration
$3.5 million of the taxpayers
money was given to Florida to
help keep the peace during the
1972 conventions
Another $558,924 was be-
queathed to the San Clemente.
Calif., police to make the area
safer for Richard Nixon.
The grants to Florida, of
course, benefited Republicans
and Democrats alike, since both
parties held their conventions in
Miami Beach in 1972 internal
documents, intended for official
eyes only, tell how the money
was spent:
- The police departments of
Miami and Miami Beach
received more than $2 million. It
was spent for overtime police
pay, portable radios, closed cir-
cuit TV monitoring systems,
mobile communication vans,
night vision devices, high-inten-
sity lights, photographic and
protective equipment
- Because the 250 state high-
way patrolmen assigned to the
Democratic convention com-
plained about the communica-
tions problem, LEAA allotted
$79,795 to purchase 325 "helmet
type portable radios" in time for
the Republican convention.
- Another $50,385 was
granted to provide Florida
police with sophisticated equip-
ment to make radio broadcast-
ing more secure for "highly con-
fidential communications"
- To control the rowdies, a
$24,786 grant was awarded to
replenish stocks "after the pre-
sent supply of tear gas is ex-
hausted"
- There were other cash
grants for miscellaneous pur-
poses. including $2,112 for Dr.
Robert P. Johnson to handle
“such things as stress and strain,
minor lacerations and wounds
possibly occurring and treat-
ment of common disorders such
as colds, fevers and influenza.'
The San Clemente police,
meanwhile spent their money on
riot gear and police vehicles, in-
cluding a Ford Bronco pick-up
truck suitable for bouncing
along the California beach
below Nixon's seaside estate
Footnote: Our associate Bob
Owens, who has been conduct-
ing a three-month investigation
of LEAA, reports that no federal
funds will be offered Kansas
City or New York City for the
1976 conventions. Nor will the
equipment from Florida be
transferred to the new conven-
tion sites
Payola Scandal: The record
companies promote their hits
with a bag of dirty tricks that
would shame the CIA.
We first began exposing the
payola racket in March, 1972.
We charged that the industry
offers free vacations, furnishes
prostitutes. provides automo-
biles and pays cash under the ta-
ble to disc jockeys and other
radio officials to get records
played.
Our exposes goaded the
Federal Communications Com-
mission into an investigation.
Four grand juries have now
returned indictments against 19
record industry officials.
One of our sources, Mike
Viner of Pride Records, has
agreed to shed his anonymity
and speak for the record Here
are more of the disclosures he
has made in a written state-
ment
- Major record companies
hire outside promoters to push
records No questions are asked
about how they spend money
Some of it, said Viner, is paid
directly to radio program direc-
tors in exchange for airing
records
- Fred Rector, one of those
who has been indicted, received
thousands of dollars from MGM
Records to "sew up" radio sta-
tions, swore Viner.
- Various methods are used
to pay off broadcasters. Record
pushers sometimes contribute to
"Christmas funds" for disc
jockeys. One imaginative pro-
gram director asked for money,
saying he needed it to pay off a
Mafia loan
— Viner identified one
renowned record promoter as
Jim Benci, who gets up to $3,000
for a single job We spoke to Ben-
ci, who denied any wrongdoing.
- While working for MGM
Records, Viner was once or-
dered to obtain reservations at
an Elvis Presley appearance in
Las Vegas for 24 broadcasting
and record officials. He paid the
hotel's maitre d' a $500 "tip," then
listed the sum on his expense ac-
count as "bribery." Viner's
honesty, of course, got him into
hot water with MGM Records.
MGM has since sold its record
division, and the recording com-
pany is under new ownership
and management
Footnote: Bill Gavin, whose
respected "Gavin Report" is read
throughout the record industry,
attacked Viner and called his
charges "unsupported."
On the contrary, Viner's state-
ments have been backed up not
only by confidential sources high
in the record industry but by
some of the men Viner accused.
Several broadcasters, who are
named by Viner in his state-
menu to us and to the Federal
Communications Commission,
have confessed they got money
from record firms. We have
printed their admissions.
Thus it appears that Gavin, in
his hurry to protect the record in-
dustry, neglected to check the
facts

information instead of dishing it
out
Aside from this vital point,
Devaney said he thinks busi-
ness could learn a lot about
sound training methods by
observing football and baseball
coaches and boxing instructors.
"They believe in motivation
but they’re not so sure that can
be taught. On the other hand, if
a boy has the size and speed he
can be taught to run, block,
throw, kick, bat or box,
whichever he shows some
natural talent for. These are
basics and in training young
men and women to sell or be
executives we must decide
what basic skills and knowledge
are needed for a particular
business and concentrate on
those, taking it for granted the
youngster has innate motiva-
tion."
Too many corporate training
programs are cram programs
and very gimmicky cram
programs at that, he added.
Devaney also warned against
cram training courses. “There
is no substitute for experience
and training has to be thorough
and protracted or the money
invested in it is just wasted,"
he said.
A Physician
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR LAMB-About
a year and a half ago my doc-
tor said I had high blood
pressure and put me on
medicine In a short time my
tests showed I was low on
potassium, and he put me on
potassium medicine and
gradually increased it
because my level was so low
Then he did a glucose test
and said I'm a borderline
diabetic If I understand what
I read, sometimes when there
is no diabetes in the family
and it shows up. it can be
caused by high blood pressure
medicine is this so’
If my blood pressure is
causing the problem why
can't they just give me other
medicines'1 I know there are
other medicines they can use
Also I'm 52 and going
through the menopause I'm
somewhat overweight and try-
ing to lose, as I need surgery
for a bladder repair I have a
fibroid tumor, so the doctor
won't give me hormones for
my hot flashes He says it will
cause me to bleed badly Is it
true that fibroid tumors
sometimes dry up after the
change in life’’ I have been to
two doctors, and one says sur-
gery now, the other to wait un-
til I get my weight down
DEAR READER - I see
you are really having a time
First, please make every ef-
fort to lose weight as it may
help relieve your blood
pressure and high blood sugar
problems Why don't you try
my weight losing diet'1 It has
helped a lot of people to lose
weight Send 50 cents for The
Health Letter number 4-7,
Weight Losing Diet Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper. Radio City
Station, New York, NY 10019
You are right, some high
blood pressure medicines will
cause the blood sugar to be
high It is often stated,
though, that they merely un-
mask an underlying diabetic,
but you are beginning to get on
theoretical ground there The
same types of medicine can
and will cause the loss of
potassium And I would tend
to agree that there are other
medicines that could be used
The medicine used to
eliminate salt and water that
causes these problems,
though.is very useful in com-
bination with other medicines
The combination usually
makes it possible to handle a
patient's problem without so
much risk of complications
from the medicines
Another problem with
glucose tolerance tests is that
they will give a result similar
to that in a diabetic if the per-
son has not been eating any
carbohydrates recently
Unless the patient is properly
prepared for the test, it is of
limited usefulness
Estrogen hormones do
enable fibroids to grow If
they are just under the lining
of the uterus, hormones may
cause you to bleed And, some
fibroids do shrink after the
menopause In general people
do better during and after sur-
gery if they have no weight
problems Nevertheless when
it needs to be done surgery
can be done in really quite
heavy people I suspect your
surgeon thinks he will get a
better result if he is able to
operate after you have lost
weight
Meanwhile I would suggest
making every effort you can
to lose weight to try to get out
of this combined mess you are
confronted with
and wanted
to gain

peace.
He said he found this out
when, soon after leaving
college, he started out to be a
life insurance salesman. “They
crammed me with information
at the insurance school I was
practically ready to be a
chartered life underwriter.
Then they gave me a ratebook
and told me to go out and sell

were possible.
"Its big problem is that most
people instinctively feel that
New York is a lot like their
brother-in-law. So when it
comes around trying to borrow
money, their reaction naturally
is negative.”
I said, “It’s true that your
reaction to your brother-in-law
generally is negative, but you
usually wind up lending him the
money anyway for your sister's
sake."
"Of course," Torporbolt said,
"and that also works to New
York's disadvantage.
"There are millions of
persons in this country who
because of family pressure
have lent money to their
brother-in-law against their
better judgment.
"They are bitterly resentful
about this, and New York, in a
way, gives them a chance to
release their hostilities. When
we gleefully turn New York
down flat, we aregubconacious-
ly striking back at our brother-
in-law.”
I said, “That sounds logical
but it seems unfair to make
New York the scape goat for all
of the obnoxious brothers-in-law
in America. Is there any way
the city might overcome this
psychological handicap?"
Torporbolt sighed and shook
his head. “I’m afraid not. The
only thing that can save New
York is an entire generation of
spinster sisters."

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rep.
John W. Wydler, a Long Island
Republican, has issued a
release in which he examines
the question “Why do they hate
New York?’’
Apparently, he feels the
federal government's refusal to
render financial aid to New
York City is primarily a
personality conflict. And he
may be right.
I'm not trying to make a Will
Rogers-like affirmation, but I
can truthfully say I never met
a man who didn't dislike some
city.
Elray Limphet, for example,
whom I met several years ago
at a PTA meeting, couldn't
stand Pocatello, Ida. Herschel
Bull jack, a bowling team
colleague, abhors Huntsville,
Ala. And so on.
New York, however, obvious-
ly is the champ when it comes
to rubbing people the wrong
way.
And since Wydler didn’t offer
any keen insights into why the
city is so widely despised, I put
that question to a government
psychologist, Dr. Endicott Tor-
porbolt.
He cited by way of reply Gov.
Hugh Carey's comment that
New York City was “often
abrasive and arrogant, some-
times cold and unfeeling,
always challenging."
"In other words,” Torporbolt
said, "New York is exactly the
type of city your sister would

UPI Business Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) - Much
of the $12 billion American
companies spend each year on
training salesmen and execu-
tives is wasted, says William
Devaney, president of Sales and
Marketing Executives Interna-
tional.
"The training in sales and
marketing in university busi-
ness schools is nearly as bad as
the company programs,” said
Devaney, who is president of
Stanley-Vidmar, Allentown,
Pa., builder of sophisticated
warehousing and storage sys-
tems.
The worst part of it, he said,
is that most companies know
they are throwing away money
on their training programs. So
few of the programs are taken
seriously by top management
that training is virtually the
first activity to be slashed when
money gets tight, he added.
About 65 per cent of all
corporate training programs
are in-house, he said, and most
of these are staffed by people
who don’t know the first thing
about the art of teaching.
“Until very recently my own
company was possibly one of
the worst offenders in using
inefficient, wasteful training
methods," Devaney conceded.
"But we've changed. We’ve
quit kidding ourselves that
motivation is the most impor-
tant factor in the art of selling.
Motivation is important but the
desire to sell won't sell
anything. There are many basic
factors; product knowledge and
customer knowledge, for exam-
ple, that are much more
critical."
Devaney said he learned the
hard way that "selling is
gaining information — not
spouting information to the
customer."
