Quinn Mills, labor relations scholar at Harvard Business School and a member of the National Com mission on Employment Policy. Mills’ findings were gathered from observations of students, up coming executives and senior cor porate officers who train or instruct at the busineess school, along with information from case studies and He attributes the change, among other things, to greater competition, technology, and social and political influences that make management a more subtle, sensitive and humane matter than heretofore. Mills contrasts today’s less rigid young corporate leader with his more authoritarian predecessors, whose managerial attitudes and skills and even personal behavior were shaped by military demands of World War II. The big war forced heavy em- hasis on strong, quick, decisive eadership and a hierarchy of com mand that shot clear signals to sub ordinates. fei But today’s managers, says Quinn, dom have the military model as an interviews. seldom ideal. Mills believes management in the past failed to treat people with as much respect as they deserved, often failing to accept legitimate questions or suggestions from them. “The employee felt demeaned, like a kid,” he said. The new managers, he comments, believe in treating people as unique, and worthy of being given individu alized attention and personalized re ward based on merit. Mills’ findings are scheduled for May publication in a volume to be called “The New Competitors,” in which he contends that “what distin- quishes top performing organiza tions is their ability to make a well functioning unit of a group of peo ple, while still identifying and recog nizing individual merit.” White race supremacist arrested Associated Press ATLANTA — The arrest of the leader qf the militant white supremacist group The Order is “a turning point” in the investiga tion of the group, a federal pros ecutor said Wednesday, while Denver police said they want to question the man in the slaying of a Jewish radio talk show host. Bruce Carroll Pierce was ar rested fly dozens of heavily armed officers in northwest Georgia Tuesday night, FBI officials said Wednesday. They said he “was not given a chance to resist.” The FBI has said Pierce, 30, of Metaline Falls, Wash., is believed to be the leader of The Order, whose members have been linked to a series of crimes in the West, including a shootout with FBI agents and robberies in Washing ton and California.

Thompson’s religious pam phlets landed him in hot water with the law after he gave a leaflet head lined “Guilty As Charged” to a Har ris County jury. Thompson, whose independent Baptist group “Open Air Evange lism” has been working the Houston streets for four years, received a $300 fine and three days in jail on Tuesday from County Criminal Court-at-Law Judge Don Hendrix. The sentence was suspended pen ding an appeal. “I was just handing out tracts,” Thompson said. “We preach regu- ' ha charged with jury tampering. ;d to me dustries building.

Jurors, who were wearing badges identifying them as members of a jury, were returning to court to con sider a driving-while-intoxicated case. They gave the pamphlets to the court bailiff, who took Thompson into custody.

And that left open the possibility he will be “I did have some butterflies in my stomach when the judge told me I was in contempt of court and going to jail three days," Thompson said. “But I had already committed this thing to God.” WASHINGTON — President Reagan’s long career as a movie ac tor, which is often credited with giv ing him a mastery of the television media, hasn’t served him so well in recent public performances. In Quebec last week for a “Sham rock Summit” with Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, the presi dent and Mrs. Reagan made a brief appearance on stage with the Mulro- neys at the finale of a black-tie gala performed in their honor. American and Canadian officials had hinted the two leaders would sing a duet or put on some sort of a skit in keeping with the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day and their Irish heri tage. Home in his own backyard, how ever, Reagan fared less well last weekend when a couple of his jokes fell fiat at the Gridiron Club’s sup posedly off-the-record annual din ner at which the press and invited politicians devote an evening to lam pooning the pols. Even loyal White House aides at knowledged that the presideni “bombed” when he suggested “w should keep the grain and expof the farmers.” The line might have gone ovti lietter had Reagan not just vetori legislation to give credit relief totk financially strapped agricultun community.
