2- credit turned down by the junior officer of a bank, for they will have a man serving with them who can so open the door that you may be fissured of having your request rejected by the president himself. Not only does my candidate have business ability but he has many social accomplishments to his credit - a genial companion, a domino player of distinction, and a bridge player whose mathematical prowess has allowed him to handle the fractions of Culbortsen or the larger numbers of Goren with equal facility. He is the exception to the old rule that "No man can be a hero to his valet." He was my boss for four delightful underpaid years, and he's still a hero to me. Gloriously on my behalf he rose to do battle with the Job Classification Committee, the Salary Control Committee, the Department of Organization, and the Committee for the Prevention of Carpeted Offices for Junior Executives. If sometimes in spite of all of his efforts cold corporate considerations logically prevailed, he more than compensated me in the pleasure of working for him and the reward of watching an expert do his job skillfully, genially, and in a manner that excited the admiration and friendship of his colleagues. Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to place in nomination for the position of 3rd Vice President your esteemed friend and mine - HENRY C. JUDD
