jEAA o WAY HELD LEAR FOR RELE WORK Apoointment of Pomerene | Seen as Removing 0Ob- stacles to Program. BY MARK SULLIVAN. PATENT BUREAU TOREGISTER PULITZER PLATFORM| Famous Words Written by Late Publisher for St. Louis‘ PRA THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1932. REJECTS PLEA CREDIT BODY WINS S OF BANKERS Post Dispatch Denied Trademark. i The United States Patent Bureau to- | day refused to register the famous words written hy the late .vosephj Pulitzer, upon his retirement as pub- | lisher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on April 10, 1907, as & trademark for The feeling in Government circles, | with namin; of ex-Senator W. Atlee | Pomerene of Ohio as chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, is that all agencies for promotion of busi- ness recovery are now completed. The further freling is that there is now no material delay or obstacle to the function of those agencies. Since there is much confidence in the potency of all these agencies, especially the Recon- struction Finance Corporation, which is designed specifically for relief, there is | &n atmosphere of calm about the busi- ness future such as has hardly existedl during more than three years past. The last possible impediment to the successful functioning of the Recon- struction Finance Corporation was re- | moved by giving the chairmanship to & | Democrat and making the directors a | Democratic board with four of ti party to three Republicans. It became apparent toward the end of the session of Congress that there was danger that | the institution might bs hampered by | being dragged into politics. It was evi- dent_that during a political campaign the Democrats as the party of the outs would be suspicious that the Repub- Jicans would use the power of loaning such an enormous sum as three and a half billion dolNrs for the purpose of helping Republicans.

When Mr. Pulitzer decided to retire, | he ,penned the following under the heading of “The Post-Dispatth Plat-| form" “I know that my retirement will make no difference in its cardinal principles; that it will always fight for progress and reform; never tolerate in- justice or corruption: always fight demagogues of all parties; never be- Jong to any party: always oppose privi-| leged classes and public plunderers; | never lack sympathy with the poor; always remain devoted to the public welfare; never be satisfied with merely | printing news; always be drastically | independent; never be afraid to attack ' Promptness in Making Loans Cited by Federal Reserve Committee. wrong whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty.” Last March the Post-Dispatch filed an application for a trademark for its platform.

Fleming, Burns in Superior Court today upon FEATURES sons favored by loans from the Re- construction Finance Corporation. There was the beginning of a barrage against the corporation similar to the charges made by Democrats that the | Republican administration favors Re- publicans in the matter of tax refunds. | An investigation of the corporation s proposed by a committee of Congress. All this, it was feared, would seriously | hamper the corporation’s uscfulness. The directors would be timid about making loans. They would be called on the carpet for hostile investigation. | Public suspicion of the boird’s disin- terestedness would be aroused. and this would diminish the healing quality in-| herent in its existence. | The way to avert all this. it was real- fz2d. was to give the institution a Demo- | cratic board of directors, cnd to give the chairmanship to the ‘most disting- uished Democrat who could b: found available to take it. Ex-GOv. Smith would have been an admirable choice, for he has high executive ability and | he was largely responsible for originat- | ing the idea of making loans for self- | sustaining public works. Every Barrier Removed. | It is unhappily necessary to admit, however, that appointment of Smith might have meant more politics rntheri than less. for it might be charged that the administration was javoring a Democrat not very friendly to the party’s presidential candidate. To this | and to the whole situation, the solution and the answer is the apnointment of | ex-Eenator_Pomerene as the most dis- | tinguished D>mocrat who could be found free to serve. L 8o far as any one can now see, lit-| erally every barrier is removed from the | successful functioning of the adminis- | tration program for help toward busi-| ness recovery. More than that, there| is complete confidence in business circles as well as Government, that the bottom of the depression has been} reached and patsed and that what is; ahead now is recuperation. That the recovery can hardly be | rlrid goes without saying. Psychologi- | cally the conditions are favorable in a | way that has not existed for nearly three vears. As it is put, “the feeling | of strain has gone out of the depres- | siocn” The mere ending of a sense of strain and continuous apprehension | that has gone on so long is itself an extremely healing condition. Tt is cer- tain that we are in a new phase of the business cycle. The most minute survey of the world by minds made tchful through three years of succes- sive shocks, reveals no condition except | such as promise wholesomeness. Rockets Have Wings.

EDMUND W14 14th Street N.W. officlals informed them that unless funds were supplied at once many relief agencies in the State would have to close by the end of July. Besides a showing that the State and Jocal resources were used up, the board inquired into the administrative meth- ods of the State Relief Commission and allocation of funds by it. In Washington discussions of the ap- pointment of Pomerene, & Democrat, bi- partisan praise mingled with Demo- cratic claims that politics dictated President Hoover's decision to give Democrats four of the seven board memberships. Both Republicans and Democrats re- grded the selection of the former Ohio nator a good one. Going farther than some of his col- leagues, however, Senator Connally, Democrat, of Texzs, joinéd Representa- tive Rainey of Illinots, the House Democratic leader, in saying responsi- bility for the conduct of the corpora- tion’s vast relief efforts still rested on| the administration despite Democratic control of the hoard. “The corporation has been in poli- tics,” said Connally. “It has now been pushed further into politics.” Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis- sissippl, said: “That's a very good ap- pointment. I would not like to charge the President with doing that for po- litical purposes on the eve of a cam- paign.” “That's an excellent appointment,” | eaid Senator Borah, Republican, of | Idaho. | Pomerene himself said in Cleveland | yesterday that so far as he was con- cerned “there is no politics in it” Republicans generally remarked that esident was selecting the best men he could find available for the big | relief job and in adhering to this prin- ciple he was disregarding party lines. “When the White House or any other political character lays aside a uniform partisan policy which it has been pur- suing for years and awards & post of honor and great responsibility to politi- cal adversaries,” Senator Connolly said, “it & at least a cause sufficient to arouse speculation and stimulate inquiry as to the motives and promptings which brought it about. “Let it not be forgotten, however that the responsibility for the conduct of the Reconstruction Corporation to this good moment rests on the White House and the administration.” Church Outing Canceled.
