NEW YORK—-—(NEA)—It is the

declared Austin 8. Igleheart, the
ruddy-eheeked, white-haired boss
of 19,000 men and women in one
of the nation’s top food industries.

current political issues to the peo
ple who work for them.
Management, in general, has
been silent too long with its em-.
glqyees on such issues, says Igle
eart, whose company produces
about 400 items of all kinds and
had gross sales in 1951 of more
than $589 million. Igleheart him
self is more than a food industrial
ist; he is a director of such di
versified businesses as Chase
National Bank, International
Steel, Commercial Solvents, and
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
Railroad.

“I believe the political issues of
this year affect the welfare and
future of all the employes just as
much as-the welfare of the com
pany,” he told NEA Service in an
exclusive two-hour interview.
Sixty-two, Indiana-born and,
educated at the University of Wis
consin, Igleheart manifests well
tailored toughness. He is soft
spoken except when provoked in-
to atomic profanity,
“It doesn’t strike me odd that I
should talk politics on a personal
basis with an employe, or that
any other executive should. And
I mean freely and easily as one
would with any friend or a casual
business acquaintance,” he said.
“Of course, it would fie assumed
that T was talking from the stand
point of their and the company’s
mutual interests,”
He said the company’s experi
ence in getting safety rules across
to its employes set the pattern for
getting them to understand eco
nomic truth better,

“In our safety drive we didn't
get very far with posters, printed
matter and speeches, We learned
that the only way was to sit down
with a man who might get hurt in
an accident and talk directly with
him. Then we got results.”
General Foods used that experi
ence to explain to its people how
eapitallsm works and what it
means to them. They held group
meetings where discussions were
ear'h-efiafi'unda group leaders
chosen from the plant areas
where the meetings were held,
The leader's job whas to keep the
thinking along proper lines, he
said,
“Yes, there was gome training
of the leaders,” he admitted. But
he vigorously denied that this was
indoctrination or that the leaders
could in the remotest way be lik
ened to political commissars.

of the dominant union officials to
