g iy FAIR PROFIT SHARE ASKED FOR WORKER Ad Men Adopt Modified Wage Cut Proposal at Clos- ' ing Session. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 18.—The Adver- tising Federation of America, asserted today in a resolution passed at its an- nu-lycwvtnucn. that the widest possi- ble distribution -mon‘ workingmen of “an equable share in the profits of pro- duction is necessary for business realige its full development.” The resolution was a modification of 3 1 considered by the Reso- lutions Committee. The original pro- posal was to stand flatly against wage reduction. The modified statement was adopted unanimously at the closing general session of the annual convention, which has devoted much of its attention to causes of and cures for the business depression. Skiliful Advertising Urged. 0 Expounding its views of what be done without attempting to offer a specific cure-all, the convention as- serted that a vital factor is the edu- cation of businessmen to the relin- quishment of obsolete ideas and the acceptance of sound leadership. It expressed a conviction that there is enough latent buying mer in those gainfully employed "to absorb a great deal more goods, and that buying can be stimulated by establishing confidence in the future and by skillful advertis- ing to desire for new products. Three new directors were elected, and five were renamed for three-year terms. The new directors are G. R. Schaefer, advertising director Marshall Field & Co., Chicago; Turner Jones, vice presi- dent and advertising director Coca Cola Co., Atlanta, Ga., and Frank G. Hunt- ress, publisher San Antonio Express, San Antonio, Tex. Those re-elected were Gilbert T. Hodges, president of the federation and member of the executive board of the New York Sun; Francis H. Sisson, vice president Guaranty Trust Co., New York; Robert L. Johnson, vice presi- dent ‘Time, Inc., New York; Don Bridge, advertising director Indianapolis News, and Miss Helen J. Baldauf, ad- vertising manager Johnston Candy Co., Milwaukee. Hodges Keeps Presidency. Hodges was re-elected president of the federation by the directors. Mr. o | active support of the Johnson, secretary, and Jeseph H. Ap- pel, advertising manager of John Wan- amaker's, New York, treasurer, were both re-elected. The board deferred action on the selection of & successor to the late Wal- ter H. Strong, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, as chairman of the board. The 1932 convention city will be chosen later. Th® services rendered to crganized advertisers by Mr. Strong and the late Timothy H. Le Quatte, former execu- tive vice president and one of the or- ganizers of the federation, were eulo- gized by speakers at the general ses- sion. Louis Wiley, business manager of the New York Times, praised Mr. Strong and acknowledged the debt cf organized advertising to the former publisher of the Daily News. “‘He leaves a silent monunjent in that noble building he erected for the paper and a living witness to his ideals of public service in a newspaper devoted to the public good, to the truth in the news, to high convicticns and princi- ples bravely expressed. All humanity which Walter Strong truly served in his ideals of journalism may mourn his death.” Standardization Deplored. C. F. Kettering, vice president of General Motors Corporation, yesterday told the convention he beligves busi- ness will come back when products are produced that people want to buy. He diagnosed the ills of the country as “industrial stagnation” and added, “That is all that is wrong with us.” Famous engineer, but self-styled “monkey-wrench mechanic,” Mr. Ket- tering sald the country is suffering to- day from the thing called standardiza- tion. “When we continue to produce the same things, the same models indefi- nitely. the product become monotonous and the people don't want to buy it.” That was what happened, he said, in urging business to produce things the people want to buy. He added: *“I think if we spend one-half the energy producing these products that we spend stirring up the mud we'd be a t- ter off.” Discussion of the economic situation and what can be done about it has transcended interest in the more tech- nical maters of the industry at the con- vention and several new ideas were added by the speakers. Those who spoké included Colby M. Chester, ir., president, General Foods Corporation; D. F. Kelly, Chicago. president National Retall Dry Goods Association; Miss Marion C. Taylor, president, the Fashion Guild, New York, and Edwin C. Gruhl, vice president and general manager, the ngrAmer!can Co., and Mr. Appel, New “York. Asking “what can we learn from Russia?” Mr. Appel said that whether the challenge of the Soviet is a chal- lenge of evil itself to the power of good, as some declare it to be, it cer- tainly is a challenge to the Democratic and - capitalistic peoples not only to maintain their system, but to keep on improving, reconstructing and re- creating it to meet the changing con- ditions of the world. “We may say that it is mass slave; to an autocratic government,” he said, “that it lacks the incentive of in- dividual rewards, although some ‘workers are now being paid according to their productive ability. We may say the Russian plan is killing religion and the goul of man. But there is a mass plan that is working, at least for the present, with results that must be reckoned with by the whole industrial and social world.” . Several Groups Elect. It:was election day for several groups within the federation. Mr. Bridges was re-elected president of the News- papér Advertising Executive Associa- tion; R. S. McCarty, the Philadelphia Co., ‘Pittsburgh, Pa., was elected presi- denti of the Public Utilities Advertising Assgpiation. H. F. Twomey of Boston is new chairman of the Retail Dry Gt Association Division of the federation. Ajwoman's slant on the responsibility for the depression was given by Miss Catherine McNelis of New York, who told. the advertising club women it was “a_man’s depression.” She suggested that one way to ter- minate the depressicn more quickly was to heighten the desire of women to buy more goods that bring brauty and color into their lives. Women want the beautiful in their lives, particularly romance—they use to call i love—Mrs. Anna Steese Rich- ardgen of the Woman's Home Compan- ion psserted in explaining what “twenty million women want.” “They want to believe in love in spite of everything disillusioning that they have Jetme from experience and Men once demanded that their wives be good cocks; they now demand a fine appearance, said Mrs. Richardson, and the ideas h2ve changed. It was formerly “be ,cod and be happy.” Now the slo- m has become “be good looking and your husband.” g French Gunboat Launched.
