P-.U.S Waging Feud With Machines , By HAL ItOYLE NEW YORK iP-There is a new kind of class warfare going on. It is a war between the white collar class and the coln-vcnd-lng machines in the office locker rooms where millions of whit collar workers now consume thj lunches they carry to work. In some offices the locker rooms resemble supermarkets, crowded with automatic dispensing gadgets that peddle everything from mystery novels to stockings. The locker room in my firm has omv seven of these coin-operated mechanical salesmen, which yield two kinds of milk, several flavors of ice cream, seven brands of cigarettes, four varieties of soft drinks and! about 20 kinds of candy burs. But even these seven machines j have turned our placid locker i room into an exciting battleground- where men and metal monsters grapple in mortal combat. IK EE snow I have praclically given ud eo-1'icr to the theatre or watching television. When I want ; to study human nature in the raw, 1 1 go to the locker room. Who will win man or machine? 'This Is the crucial Issue every time an employee approaches one of the machines with a coin. Nine out of 10 times there Is a happy ending. The machine hesitates, grumbles, then reluctantly coughs up the desired merchandise. The 10th time mnvbc the machine doesn't like the frcl of the coin or the color of the neck-i tie the employee Is wearing nothing happens. Then anything can happen!
