Washington, May 16.—Secretary Dan Roper’s Busi- ness Advisory Council was patted on the back and warmly praised by administration folk when its big business members—just as the U, S. Chamber of Com- merce was hollering its loudest—called at the White House and let the world know they hadn't walked out on the New Deal. If you ask the council, the cheering was altogether too loud. The group had carried along some very definite criticisms of Roosevelt policies and after the conference the White House made public only its declaration for a two-year continuation of NRA, carefully neglecting to mention any of the council's recommendations with which it didn’t agree. Council members have since been busy trying to convince their comrades in industry and finance that they're not the lily-white New Dealers they were made to appear.

They Could Tell a Lot Minot, getting ready to celebrate its annual fair, anounces that the father of John Dillinger and the mothers of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker will appear there with a carnival attrac- tion stressing the fact that “crime does not pay.” How many will attend out of a morbid desire to see the relatives of these famous public ene- mies is problematical, but no doubt it will be enough. Some people have peculiar tastes. It is doubtful, however, whether any of the three parents will have either the wit or the conscience to tell the visitors the truth about their experiences. Mr, Dillinger, for example, will hardly tell just wherein HE failed in his duty as a father to such an extent that his son took the path to the title of public enemy No. 1 and an outlaw’s grave. Yet it is apparent that the elder Dil- linger failed somewhere in the difficult duties of fatherhood. What happened to his son is proof enough. Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Barrow could do some good by telling other mothers what they were doing while Clyde and Bonnie were taking the short, thrill-laden road which led to death at the hands of a Texas posse. For it is axiomatic, among people who study the cause of crime, that the sins of the parents are visited upon the children in this as in few other things, For every father and mother is responsible, at least in part, when a son or daughter “goes wrong.” Scientific study of the question leads to the belief that much sympathy extended to toil-stained fathers and care-worn mothers is misplaced. It may have been over-indulgence, mis- directed parental love, neglect, indifference to the moral development or any one of a score of other things, but when a boy or girl stands in court convicted of having made his life a failure, the parents must share some of the onus. If Mr, Dillinger, Mrs. Barrow and Mrs. Par- ker can bring that fact home to the parents who see them as a side-show attraction, they will have atoned, at least in part, for the tragic fail- ure of their own parenthood, but it is doubtful if that thought will even enter their minds. They probably feel they are entitled to sym- pathy. A New Racket ‘This dime chain-letter idea was a good gag, at first. By now it seems to have degenerated into a racket. In a number of cities, racketeers have made a good thing out of it. A man will have several thousand let- ters printed and mailed, all bearing his own name at the head of the list. The credulous folk who send in their dimes enrich him by several hundred dollars; and the laws of probability make it extremely unlikely that any of them will ever see the chain progress far enough to bring any return to themselves, &o if you bite on one of these letters, the chances are that you are simply helping some slicker put over a little swindle. “In addition, of course, you are overburdening your own postal system—and, if you do get a return on your investment, you are laying yourself open to the atten- tions of the postal inspectors, who can be very unpleas- ant gentlemen indeed. All in all, you have little to gain and much to lose.

Even after that it would do so only by vote of the full council of 52. Which is much better, from the administration’s point of view, than the council’s previ- ous angry decision to give its recommendations to con- gressional committees. eee WINNIE THE POOH ENTERS The council was distinctly annoyed by White House failure to publicize its adverse report on the adminis- tration’s utility holding company measure—the Wheeler- This report was the work of Chairman Winthrop W. Aldrich of the Chase National Bank, known in Wall Street as “Winnie the Pooh” or, sometimes, just “Win- nie” for short, Weeks previously, Mr. Aldrich had approached Chairman Sam Rayburn of the house committee fram- ing the bill and Interstate Commerce Commissioner Walter Splawn, expert on holding companies. He sought to serve as a “mediary” between the bill’s supporters and the “power trust” holding companies, Proposing substitute legislation which they thought would take the teeth from the bill. eee 3 TURNED DOWN FLAT Rayburn and Splawn turned Aldrich down flat. Anyone from the Chase bank intervening in public util- ity matters is presumed here to be representing the huge Electric Bond and Share holding company, with which the bank is closely tied in, Electric Bond and Share and their United Gas Improve- ment company is leading the Committee of Public Util- ity Executives in the fight against the bill.) Bond and Share has been accused of “milking” sub- sidiary companies through service contracts and the bill abolishes “milking.” Undaunted, Aldrich then had himself appointed head of a subcommittee of Roper’s council to consider hold- ing company legislation, The sub-committee turned in @ report identical with the offer Aldrich had made to Rayburn and Splawn, Roosevelt received the report —and merely sat on it. . SPLITS WITH BIG BUSINESS The president’s insistence on the holding company bill in the face of almost unanimous opposition from the big business-financial groups lends color to the belief that the fundamental cleavage between the administra- tion and that group is wider than commonly supposed. Despite one of the most intensive propaganda cam- paigns in history, Wheeler's senate interstate commerce committee has just voted 11 to 3 in secret session to report favorably the bill's most drastic features. It looks now as if the fewer than 20 giant holding companies which control the great bulk of the nation’s electric light industry were going to be eliminated. The million letters which the utilities poured into house and senate office buildings had their effect and for awhile it was predicted that the Wheeler-Rayburn bill would be modified to the point of innocuousness. eee PROPAGANDA IS OFFSET But persistent White House pressure and able, firm work by Rayburn and Wheeler have caused some of the effect to wear off. It’s known now that Roosevelt himself wrote the “death sentence” to holding companies into the bill and that it is his pet measure in congress, as well as his chief bid for progressive support in the next election. Meanwhile, don’t be surprised if Roper’s Business Advisory Council uses some strong arm methods to get its holding company recommendations out in the open before the issue is settled in congress, (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other DITORS Advertising (Valley City Times-Record) ‘The business of advertising appears to be both a science and an art. It is a science in that there are cer- tain broad rules or principles which hold good under all observable circumstances; and it is an art because it deals directly with the.unpredictable reactions of human nature, and must make its way by successful appeal to perfectly human sensibilities. It is an axiom that demand for an article grows in Proportion as more individuals are made acquainted with the merits of that article and kept considering the ad- vantages of using it. But the art of its presentation to the public consists in knowing somewhat exactly when the point is reached where the public tires of the repe- tition, Printed advertisements have this advantage, that they come into the hands of the individual and can be laid aside, taken up again, referred to as frequently as desired, considered only as long as the individual is in the mood to consider them. The prospective buyer is likely to take offense by having the merits of an article shoved at him interminably, and by the rude interruption of pleasant lines of thought to proclaim the merits of plead he doesn’t at the time care a hang about con- sidering. Much of the advertising of today seems to lack en- tirely this sense of the art of presentation. No salesman in his right mind would thrust himself suddenly upon a purchaser while the latter was enjoying meal with his family and start in to describe the wonders of Bingo's gasoline; nor frankly hitch up the appeal of religion in & service of worship to a fervent exhortation to buy Slicker's soap and be clean; nor use a telegraph form with all its mingled thoughts of fear and hope in the mind of the recipient to advise the latter to buy a par- ticular brand of pants. This is being done right along where its doing does not require the physical presence of the advertiser; if he had to go and do such things him- self and witness the visible reactions of the people ad- dressed he would soon come to have grave doubts about the value of such advertising. Sales resistance is defi- nitely created by such methods. That legitimate advertising is part and parcel of our modern life, especially in this country, goes without say- ing. That its use can and does contribute really to the welfare of everybody is certain. But that advertising can easily get over on doubtful ground is also being proved every day. There is a good deal more to it than simply publishing indiscriminately the merits of a product. ‘There is a time for the advertiser to be silent, as well as a time for him to speak. =H Reprinted to show what they say.

For the next few weeks everyone from Capitol Hill to the other end of Pennsylvania avenue will have occa- sion to think of it. The reason: NRA. Between now and June 16 the three branches of the government will be vitally concerned with the Blue Eagle. It either dies or gets a respite on or before that date. * * * The Way It May Be ‘While the nine justices of the su- preme court were weighing the con- stitutionality of NRA, the senate fi- nance committee, against the ex- pressed wishes of President Roose- velt, recommended that the Blue Eagle be given an extension of only 10 months. If that view is reflected-in the sen- ate as a whole, politicians here fore- see a rather strange and perhaps weird time for everyone connected with the proposition. They figure it out this way: If the senate sustains the resolu- tion of Senator Clark of Missouri (extending NRA for only 10 months) the president will be up against it. More specifically he will be fighting against time. He has assurances from the Jeaders of the house that they will stand back of him if he insists that NRA be extended for two years. The senate, however, when the measure goes to conference, will be adamant in its stand. Senate con- ferees will deadlock the conference until the president, to save NRA from complete oblivion, will be forced to advise house conferees to yield. ‘Those who reason thusly base their belief on the knowledge that a lot of HORIZONTAL 2 Who is the golfer in the picture? 12 Engraves. 0 (4 Molten rock. one 15 Electrical unit 17 Vinegar bottle. 18 Husband or wife. 19 Toward sea. 20 Pitchers. 21To surfeit. 22 Nimble. 23 To soak flax. 24 Head of the Catholic Church, 25 Prejudice. 26 Molests. 28 Automobiles, 29 Chaos. 30 Court. 31 Onager 32 Tribunal.

It all depends on whether the su- preme court hands down a decision favorable to NRA before June 16. With a favorable court decision behind him the president would have ® powerful weapon in his hands. That and the backing of the house would enable him to hold the whip hand over the senate and probably force that body to his way of thinking. Senate strategists, however, have it doped out that in the end Mr. Roose- velt will be forced to accept the Clark resolution; that it’s either that or nothing. x If all the professions in Washing- ton were laid end to end, it would be @ good thing for the country.—Prof. M.
