At the Associated Press session yes- terday, General Manager Cooper made his annual report, in which he pointed out that there has been a gen- eral improvement in the writing and distribution of the organization’s re- port. During the discussion by members much opposition was expressed to radio- casting of news, but no action was taken by the meeting. John Walter, co-chief proprietor of the London Times, was a speaker. Lawrence Tibbett. the baritone, sang. Mr. Noyes presided at the luncheon which was held at the Waldorf-Astoria. A. P. Standards Praised. “Individual freedom, consented to and strengthened by co-operative action™ ‘was described by Mr. Walter as a prin- ciple “as indispensable to the recovery of a distressed world as it hes been potent in the growth and success of the Associated Press.” “The Associated Press,” he said, “bas reached so high a plane, its progress has been toward an objective so wisely determined and so ceeply implanted in the general public interest, that it is beyond the need of man's commendation. “Yet if praise be not mere presum; tion, I should like to express my ad miration of the conspicuous example of | individual freedom, consented to and strengthened by co-operative action, which your membership offers to the| world of journalism.” He said the press, “once persecuted, has captured and exercises a power in the life of modern nations not less than the greatest.” The universe that made the press, he added, could not live without it, “unless it be living to go without voice, ‘without ears and eyes.” The day of the entirely self-sufficient newspaper has passed, he said. Speaking of Anglo-American relations, he called the friendship between the two nations “sometimes whose mainte- nance is essential to the peace and) stability of the world.” Continuation of the highest quality | and efficiency in news service was ap- proved. | Board Statement Read. | A statement by the Board of Direc- | tors read at the meeting pointed out that over 60 per cent of the total ex- pense of the organization is absorbed in wire operation, that during the last 20 years such charges had been reduced to a fraction of what they were in 1912 and not one cent of increase had been because of general news collection or administrative expense.

The statement said that salary re- ductions would have negligible effect upon assessments and that salaries of the most efficient men were considerably less than salaries for similar positions paid by other press associations. All the speakers commended the ef- forts of the board to effect economies without impairing efficiency. Cooper’s report said a large number of members in varying degrees had suspended individual efforts at news collection in the foreign, domestic and regional fields and more fully utilized what the Associated Press afforded. Mr. Cooper also pointed out: Comment by members indicates satis- faction with operation of the morning and evening services as separate enti- ties, but complementing each other.

By the Associated Press BALTIMORE, April 26—Too much regulation, constant surveillance and supervision and the fact they never have been permitted to earn the rate permitted by the Federal transportation act were blamed yesterday by Charles ‘W. Galloway, vice president of the Bal- timore & Ohio, for the ills of the rail- | road industry. “In the transportation act of 1920 Congress laid down a definite rule for the guidance of the Interstate Com- merce Commission in the matter of fix- ing the rate of return for railroads in the future,” Galloway said. “It was held that under efficient and economical management they might earn a fair re- turn, and set this rate at 53; per cent. | “The fact is that the commission has never seen to it that the rails earned what Congress determined they should earn. In 1921 they eirned only 2.84 per cent on their investment, while for 1930 the earnings was at the rate of 3.30 per cent. For 1931, computed on investment at the first of the year, the rate of return was only 1.98 per cent, or 66 per cent less than the rate fixed by Congress as fair.” e Manager of Mill Slain.

O'Connor, chairman of the Shipping Board, in report to the Sen- | ate and House has accused Controller General McCarl of exceeding his au- thority, and of “an inability to col prehend or refusal to recognize” laws applicable to the board. O'Connor_analyzed a recent special report of McCarl severely criticising the financial transactions of the board and its merchant fleet corporation. McCarl, prefacing his report of an audit into the corporation’s accounts, asserted “it is possible there has not been brought clearly to the attention of the Congress the wide Ilatitude claimed, and exercised by the Shipping Board in the uses of public money.” Says Board Avoids Statutes. He declared the board avoided regu- latory statutes and “accountability for large amounts of money.” O'Connor replied that “the Shipping Board is not prepared to admit the ex- istence of any Irregular accounting pro- cedure,” adding: “The controller general attacks both the legality and the practical effect of | the lump sum cperating agreements ¢ * * and holds them up as an ex- ample of the undesirable results of not having the shipping business of the Government placed under his control through governmental audits as are other departments of the Government. “A survey of the real facts shows, however, that his premises are erroneous and his conclusions fallacious.” Regarding McCarl's comment on the sale of the United States Lines and the American Merchant Lines, in which O'Connor said the board was accused of losing approximately $2,000,000, the chairman said, “there is no substance to the allegations.” .

You can’t find many people who will play it. There is too much embarrassment in con- fessing that natural teeth are missing. And there are not so many folks around who can boast two sound and perfect rows of teeth. When teeth begin to “go,” you feel that it is a personal failure. And it is. No matter how carefully you brush your teeth, they are never safe unless you care for your gums.
