James F. Lincoln of Cleveland promotes a system called intelligent selfishness as a way to balance worker and management needs. His Lincoln Electric Co notes a 50 hour week cut, 10 percent wage rise, life insurance, stock plans, and profit sharing while maintaining low disputes. The concept argues unintelligent selfishness harms industry and suggests mutual desire can reduce strife across unions and shops.

Army may reach 800000 discharges per month by December
Washington reports discharges could hit 800000 a month by December 1, far above the 500000 monthly pledge by Truman after Japan’s surrender. Gen Stephen Henry and Senator Edwin Johnson clash over a 2.5 million Army by July 1, with Europe, Pacific and U.S. support forces totaling about 2.5 million. Henry, urged by Eisenhower and MacArthur, says estimates reflect minimum occupation needs and vows rapid discharge expansion as more centers open.
