Reward for executive convictions

(N.Z. Press .Assn —Copyright) NEW YORK. About 10,000 of the nation’s most highly-nlaced secretaries will receive letters offering each of them a $25,000 reward for information implicating the chief executive officer of a major industrial company in criminal activity relating to corporate operations, reports the New York Times News Service. The drive known as “campaign corporate exposure.” is one of a series of campaigns by the People’s Bicentennial Commission, which presents itself as a radical alternative to the official American Revolution Bicentennial Commission. The campaign is intended to stimulate discussion about the American economic system. The strict working of the offer makes it unlikelv that the People’s Bicentennial Commission will be bankrupted in paying the reward. It will be paid only for "concrete evidence that leads to the arrest, prosecution, conviction, sentencing, and imprisonment of a chief executive officer of one of America’s ‘Fortune 500* coroprations for criminal activity relating to corporate operations.” Such a company would be on the list, published annually by “Fortune” magazine, of the nation’s 500 biggest corporations, ranked by size of total sales.
