NEWSPAPERS HELD > BEST AD MEDIUM Elimination of Dishonest Practices of Advertisers Seen as Imperative. Newspapers as “the one dominant ad- wvertising medium,” stressed by Ken- neth Collins, executive president of R. H. Macy & Co. of New York, were con- sidered from every possible msle at the public session held by the advertising executives of the American Association ! of Advertising Agencies yesterday after- noan, over which John Benson, presi- dent of the orgnlunon presided.

President’s Confidential Ad- viser Is Authority on Sea Armament. Capt. Allan Buchanan, chief naval aide to President Hoover, is understood to be slated for assignment to the Naval War College at Newport, R. I, as chief of staff. It is thought likely that within the next two months he will be relieved of his duties at the White House to take over this important post. Capt. Buchanan, who has been on the White House detail for the past year, was non-committal when asked about the assignment. It is under- stood, however, that he has been defi- nitely picked by his superiors and that President Hoover's consent has been ob- tained by the Navy Department and that the official announcement of this added honor bemg tm'nded to him will be ton.hcomlnc sition is looked upon 88 an s.mmf’y" choice berth and is, tmn- fore, necessarily greatly covehed by of- ficers. It is natural to suppose that, despite his present associations lt the ‘White House and his personal o ness for President Hoover, Capt. Bu- chanan will be assignment. Capt. Buchanan is recognized as one of the leading authorities in the serv- ice on naval armament and since being at the White House as President Hoover’s aide he has been the latter's principal adviser regarding this im- portant suoject. He personally repre- sented the President throughout the ellmlnlry work on the part of the lvy heads preparatory to the London PROSPERITY BASIS INU.S. MILLS SAYS Treasury Official Tells Ad Men It Should Contribute to Future Progress.

Says Local Rate Is Too Low. Referring to the differential between national and local advertising rates, Mr. Benson declared that the trouble is not that newspapers charge too high rates for national advertising, but that their rates for local advertising are too low. Henry T. Ewald, chairman of the committee on newspapers, who briefly discussed outdoor advertising, predicted that the radio soon would be hooked up with billboard advertising. The out- | door advertisers maintain a central bu- reau, which handles all copy and is un- der the direction of some of the best advertising experts of the country.

NEWELL ELECTED AD BOARD HEAD Executives of Association Hasten to Golf Course as Session Adjourns. After electing a new board of govern- ors, two new members of the executive board and five directors, the 200 or more advertising executives of the American Association of Advertising Agencies adjourned their thirteenth annual convention a} the Mayflower Hotel today and hastened to the Burn- ing Tree Golf Club to spend the re- mainder of the day on the links. C. D. Newell of the Newell-Emmett Co. of New York was elected chairman of the board of governors for a two- year term, succeeding H. K. McCann of New York. President John Benson of the association has two more years to serve, having been elected for a four- year period. Other officers of the board elected today were vice president, W. C. D’Arcy of the D’Arcy Advertising Co. of St. Louis; secretary, H. B. Humphrey of the H. B. Humphrey Co., Boston, and treasurer, E. DeWitt Hill of the H. K. McCann Co., New York, who was re- elected for a two-year period. Directors Are Named. The two new members-at-large on the executive board chosen to fill ex- ired terms were Mr. McOann of New ork and H. T. Ewald of the Camp- bell-Ewald Co., Detroit. Directors represehting various dis- tricts of the councils of the association were chosen as follows: George F. Gouge of Batten, Barton, Burstine & Osborn, Inc, New York, representing the New York district; Harold Bulbe! of the Walter B. Show and Staff of Boston for the New England dlfltflet: A. King Aitkin of the Altkin-Kynett Phundn(l:phm. for the Philadelphia district; Fogarty of the Matteson, Fogarty-Jordan Co. of Chicago for the Western district, and Thomas E. Basham of the Thomas Basham Co., Louisville, for the Southern district. Before ldjnurnlnl' the three-day con- vention, President Benson called for a period of silent tribute to the members of the association who died during the past year.

This represents an increase in per capita income from $327 to $749, or ln income per individ- ual gainfully employed from $864 to $1,920. Although M:unmzm, lor price changes over the period would reduce the increases, it would by no means eliminate them. It is interesting to note that the remuneration of em- ployes is estimated today at about 57 per cent of this total, as compared with' about 51 per cent 20 years ago. Treasury statistics derived from corporation and individual income tax returns reflect growth in national income which has taken place in recent years. For example, between 1022 and 1928, a during which important tax re- ductions were effected, the net income tabulated from individual returns in- creased from $21,000,000,000 to nearly $25,000,000,000, in lplu of revenue act revisions which eliminated more than 3,000,000 of the smaller taxpayers; while net income of all reporting corporations increased from $4,800,000,000 to about $7,400,000,000.” Nationally prominent advertisers and publishing executives attended the ban- quet, at which H. K. McCann of New York, chairman of the association's board of directors, presided. Mr. Mills was the only speaker.

Both Jones and Bristol, whose opin- jons do not accord with those of Ad- miral Pratt, commander of the United States fleet, were hammered mercilessly with cross examination by Senators Reed of Pennsylvania and Robinson of | Arkansas and others friendly to the | treaty. tedly they questioned the accuracy of the admirals’ testimony.

Repeating the objections he voiced yesterday before the foreign relations committee, Admiral Jones told the naval committee that the cruiser pro- visions, in particular, were out of line with American interests on the seas. Meantime the foreign relations com- mittee was listening to a technical paper, presenting an analysis of naval policy by the Navy general board. It was read by Admiral Bristol. ‘The statement recited the board’s program after the Washington confer- ence of 1922, which called for 10 new 10,000-ton cruisers, and the recom- , which asked for ers “and no small ships.” program of the general al Jones still favors, as against tho treaty provision cutting down the number of inch gun cruisers and substituting 6-inchers. ‘The statement recalled also that the neral bosrd had recommended a 3 ratio for all categories of ships. ‘This ratio is not applied by the treaty to all !y‘m. Bristol said the board reached fs conclusions after exhaustive study. “Can any one doubt that its recom- mendations represent the best thought. of the Navy?” he said. Up to this time, Bristol said, he had been speaking for the general board. He added: “Speaking for m 1f, I want to say accord with the that { am “Does this treaty give the United Butr:‘ parity?” asked Senator Johnson. “Is it necessary that the 5—3 ratio with Japan be retained?” “That is my belief.” D. C., WRECK OF AUTOMOBILES IN CRASH THAT KILLED TWO TRAINING SCHOOL SHACKLES BANNED Board Orders “More Suit- able” Means to Restrain Unruly Inmates. Orders demanding discontinuance of the practice of using shackles on unruly boys were {ssued late yesterday at & meeting of the board of trustees of the National Training School for Boys. The action was the outcome of an investigation behind closed doors of the cases of two inmates of the institu- tion who were shackled for 38 days with iron chains. The following state- ment, signed by PFrancis H. Duehay, president, was made public at the end of the session: Board’s Statement. “The board has considered the mat- ter of using leg irons to restrain boys who are likely to escape. It was voted to recommend to the superintendent to avold the use of such contrivances in the future, but to g:wlda some more auihbu means of restraining refractory “Does the London treaty retain that | boys. ratio with Japan?” “It does not.” Bristol said that in a war with Japan \ the United States would have to carry the war to Japan because “she wouldn't come to us,” said Bristol. “Then our country would be safe, wouldn’t it?” shot back Senator Reed.

Admiral Jones made a aimilar state- ment before the naval committee. He discussed the possible situ vn l.n “the Western Pacific,” contending the American Navy had vital nzed for powerful, long-range cruisers not only to insure protection of its overseas pos- sessions, but also to uphold its national policy “for an open door in China.” Philippines Base Stressed. “We would have need to move our forces over there,” he said. ‘“There is no reason why any one there lhould move into our area.” When Jones had finished, the naval ; | committee adfourned until Monday. Bristol told the foreign uhum wm mittee that the United States m all times” maintain a base in the Phfl- ippines “to keep other nations from making war on us.” Senator Black, Democrat of Alabama, argued with Bristol over the Philip- pines. The admiral said “we have no f“rmfll right to turn the Philippines Reed ques! some of Bristol's statements about Japan. “We would have 180,000 tons of eight- inch cruisers built or buflfl\n! at the expiration of the treaty,” d , “and Japan will have 108,000. That is exactly 60 per cent of our strength, isn't it?” “Well, T don't know.” “Then leave that for some one qulck- er in percentages,” retorted Reed. Backs Memorandum. Questioned further, Bristol said he agreed with the conclusions in the mem- orandum of the general board of last September to President Hoover, agree- ing to 21 8-inch 10,000-ton cruisers, and 15 6-inch cruisers. “But that was to be the maximum concession, to save the conference,” maintained Bristol. Reed pointed out that “the treaty will permit us to build 6-inch gun cruisers up to 9,000 or 10,000 tons, which will give them as good & cruising radius as the eights.” Admiral Jones was recalled, and Reed asked if he agreed with the conclusions in the September memorandum of the general board to President Hoover. “The issue is down to this, isn’t it?” continued Reed. “That the treaty falls ngorb nflthe Whe:“ bol‘rsd' on in the arming of three cru! “Yes, but that is a vital polnz.“ sald Jones. Holds Treaty Violates Rule. Jones said the treaty vlehud "uur fundamental rule for disarmame; “Yes,” said Reed, “and the trelty vio- lates the fundamental rule laid down by the Japanese for submarines.” Reed challenged Jones' contention that the American Navy will be “frozen at the end of the treaty's life.” ‘Senator Swanson asked a comparison between the British and American cruiser fleets. “We need units that have the best power of survival,” said Jones, “because in many instances they must be oper- | ating alone.” Discussing the September memoran- dum, Jones said: “My recollection is that the general board reluctantly accepted the doing away with two of the 8-inch cruisers and the acceptance of five 6-inch cruis- ers, but they much preferred the 8-inch “They didn’t mean it?" asked Sena- tor Robinson of Arkansas. “Yes, they meant it,” replied the vet- eran admiral, “but that position was taken as an extreme one in the of obtaining some kind of parity.” Asked About Yardstick. “Throughout the investigations prior to the London Conference the general never asked or sunuud more '.hln 21 eight-inch cruisers,” said Rob- inson, “and it never cmmed any su- perlomy or advantage in inch.” “I remember the bura reluctantly agreed to the 21 total,” Jones repeated. Senator Robinson of Arkansas asked Admiral Jones it he ever referred to the celebrated “naval yardstick” as “mere camoufiage.

LONDON, May 16 (#).—Unusual weight was accorded today to criticism in_the House of Commons by Keeps Winston Churchill against the nondon naval treaty, but there was question as to how completely Mr. Churchill, a for- mer Conservative chancellor of the ex- chequer, spoke for his party.
