November | 16—More than $300,000,000, an in- | crease of about 33 per cent, is expected | to be spent in advertising during 1933, | according to a study of business condi- tions released tlirough Lee H. Bristol of | New York, president of the Association of National Advertisers, at the opening | session of its twenty-third annual meet- | ing here today. ! The results of the business survey | released by Mr. Bristol showed that over one-half the reporting companies of the association had increased total | sales volumes in units during the past three months; 161, per cent reported | a decrease and about 10 per cent that | the sales volume had remained the same. sales was approximate'y 23 per cent. As the comparison was between the three months of August, September and October against the three months pre- vious of May, June and Jul", it is noted that about one-half of the companies reporting an increase attributed il o seasonal_influence, and about 82 per rent of the other half of those reporting an increace stated it was due to im- | proved conditions in their particular trade.

Cullen, chief assistant United States district attorney here, today prepared for the return of Wayland R. Kerns, former judge advocate general of the bonus expeditionary force, to Balti- more to answer charges of extortion and sending a threatening and obscene Jetter through the mail. Kerns, arrested in the Richmond, Va., post office yesterday, was held in' the Richmond Jail in default -of $1,000 | bail pending a removal hearing. A second letter was in the possession of United States District Attorney Simon E. Sobeloff here. The arrest of Kerns followed the receipt of the first letter by Mrs. Maude Edgell of Catonsville, Md., who had offered & haven on her wooded property near Woodbury, Md. last Summer to the veterans after they were driven from Washington during the evacuation of their camps there. The authorities asserted the letter stated that unless Mrs. Edgell sent the writer $10 to-pay his fare back to Baltimore he would come back any- how., It was signed “Wayland” and had s return address of “W. R. Kemns, general_delivery, Richmond, Va." The Federal officials said it also in- sinuated that JKerns would kill her unless she complied with his demand. The second letter asked Mrs. Edgell to| meet him in Richmond by today or in ‘Washington the Iatter part of the week. Following the eviction of the bonus army from Washington last Summer, Kerns and several veterans went to Mrs. Edgell's pursing home at Caions- ville while she prepared to turn the Woodbury land over as a colony site, but Gov. Albert C. Ritchie’s disapproval ended the plan. She told Sobeloff she recently discharged Kerns as cook at her home. Cullen sald Kerns will be given a re- moval hearing shortly in Richmond. NEWSPAPER AGENT TELLS OF “PADDING” Witness in Youngstown Case Sa; Excessive Figures on Circu- lation Ordered. By the Associated Press YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, November 16. —Further testimony that the Youngs- town Telegram “padded” its circulation figures was given today by Charles E. Smith, home delivery manager for the newspaper, in the trial of four news- paper men charged with fraudulent ad- vertising. Smith asserted he and Thomas Dow- ling, circuiation adviser for Scripps- Howard newspapers, estimated he (8mith) had been taking 175 to 200 papers daily above the number he could sell Defendants with Dowling are John T. Watters, business manager of the Telegram; James J. Morrisey, circula- tion manager, and Joseph Finster of Dallas, Tex., fonmer circulation mana- ger. They are accused of fraudulent advertising through publication of an ;;l;(edly false circulation statement in 1. Smith repeatedly said his orders for “padding” circulation came from Oia S8cott, whom the defense charged with engineering & plot to discredit Finster, then circulation manager. ‘Thomas Hura, who handles returned unsold papers for the Telegram, testi- fled the figures on return slips were re- duced by Scott and by Abe Millar, Finster's secretary, He said he never told Finster the figures were being al- tered. Beck Perline, suburban news sales- man for the Telegram, testified he threw papers into the Ohio River when he failed to sell them. On cross-ex- amination he said he once worked for the Youngstown Vindicator. Charles Egan, jr., one of seven former district managers, testifying yesterday, said names taken from tombstones were listed on the Telegram’s books as those of “newspaper boys,” and that vacant houses were listed as addresses of sub- scribers to cover up alleged circulation deficiencies.

INFLUENZA ATTACK |President - Elect Had Mild Case—White House Visit Likely Next Week. By the Associated Press. | ALBANY, N. Y., November 16.—With the time drawing near for his meeting with President Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt is recovering from a light case of influenza and hastening to put his official business in order before depart- ing for his visit to the White House. Planning to devote most of his work- ing time between now and Saturday to the State budget, the President-elect avowedly is giyieg “no further consider- | ation” at the? moment to what will| transpire at his conference with the Nation's Chief Executive. There were indications today that Mr. Roosevelt will suggest next Tuesday or Wednesday as the date for the meet- | tag at which he has agreed to talk over informally and personally with Mr. | Hoover “the entire situation” pertaining i to war debt matters and other mational affairs, R | Had Slight Attack. | Propped up in bed at his first press | conference in five days, the New York | Governor late yesterday revealed that | the cold with which he went to bed last | Friday developed into “a slight attack | of the flu.” + ] ached all over,” he related, “even to the top of my head.

The President-elect was in pajamas, a white sweater and purple dressing gown. “Hello, strangers” he greeted the | correspondents, grinning. Mr. Roosevelt waved aside all in- quiries about national governmental aflairs. He did say, however, that “no further consideration” has been given the conference with Mr. Hoover, and none will be given until he is ready to leave for Warm Springs. He has promised to telephone Mr. Hoover when these arrangements have been com- pleted. MODERN HUNT PERILOUS Shooting at Crow From Auto Re- sults in Two Injuries.

I cannot | make myself believe there is a person | in the District so shorn of decency and compassion that he will refuse the trembling, outstretched hands of a hungry child, or a despair-stricken mother applying at his door for sus- tenance. Doubts Hearts Are Hard. | “Yet that is just what the workers in this campaign are doing in the name hungry and cold, to the doors of the | various agencies of the Community | Chest, begging for food to nourish their starving and pinched bodies, for clothes to replace the rags and tatters, and pleading for a place to come in out of the cold and rain. There is not a heart s0 hard in the city of Washington that could withstand such a plea.” Mr. Noyes, Chairman Campbell of the Government unit and Daniel Frohman, dean of American theatrical directors, were speakers on the Community Chest Party of the Air, in the program of ‘Radio Joe” Kaufman on Station WMAL from 7:30 until 8 o'clock last night. ever before.

Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Woodrow Wilson and a large contributor to the Community Chest this year, added his services to the Chest, speaking last night at 7:45 over | Station WJSV. Urges War on 3 Witches. He called upon Washington to wage war against those “three Witches of despair, poverty, hunger and human misery.” He sald: “Eyes cold and dim look to us; little hands, as if in prayer, are raised aloft beseeching us to help. Poor men, un- | fortunate women, pathetic little chil- | dren, their backs borne to the earth| in sadness, walt upon us. We dare not, we must not fail to realize the hopes that rest in their hearts now bewildered by grief and utter lone- ness. “An average of & dime a day from all who subscribed last year would fill fhe Community Chest with the sum of over four million dollars, says Mr. Noyes in his moving appeal to the people of the District of Columbia. And thus, for a few pennies we drive away the black night of despair from those sorely harassed. For a few pen- nies we can bnn? into hospitals and homes the light of joy and gupplneu, For s few pennies we can bring life and health to those wearied by the burdens of this hour of need. “The slogan of the Community Chest contains a clarion call addressed to all that is noble in the human heart— that fine emotion of pity and human sympathy which, when called into ac- tion, makes the atmosphere in which we live, radiant and beautiful—an at- mosphere of hope and of faith and of on Arrival B | Orphans Aided by Community ST.

And then the bare sky will be peopled with other more powerful suns, with stars flaming more brightly in the heavens and there will be & new heaven and a new earth for those who helped the poor and the chosen of God who were known to the poor will live not as we live now, but in the likeness of angels in happiness and joy forever.'" - “To those who refuse to help in this handsome enterprise of charity, let me quote the words of Newton D. Baker: “The sadcest people in the United States when this Winter is over will not be those who nearly starved; it will not be those who nearly froze; it | will not be those who were evicted | from their humble houses or tenements; the saddest people, those who will hide | from their fellowman, will be those who have to admit that in such & moment | they did not do their share. | “Shall we live cabined and confined | within ourselves and refuse to help? Have we not seen enough of life, its | ups and downs, its stark tragedy with- |out feeling that a great duty rests | upon us—a duty backed up the com- | pulsion of conscience and human need | to help to relieve this despair? Through the Community Chest a chance is of- fered for kindness, generosity and char- ity to work its spell of magic on the hearts and souls of men in a cause | bigger than you and me—the call of | | stricken and suffering humanity. Everlasting Investment. “Here is & chance, a real chence to | | make a rare investment in an ever-| | lasting bank—a bank that neither bit- | | ing rains nor raging storms can destroy. To those who turn a deaf ear to our | appeals, we answer that there is no| heart so cold that, when it understands | the needs of the people here, will refuse | ‘g: aspire to an act of ennobling sacri- ce. “It has been said that the ideal land | would be a place where poverty was non-existent; where everybody was rich and prosperous. Let me say to those who urge this as a philosophy of life, | that if there were not poor in the | world there would be no niercy or kind- ness, that the land where poor people | live is the land where all the generous | qualities of the heart express themselves | —the qualities of mercy, kindliness, gen- | erosity and charity. If nc cne lived |in the world but rich reoplc. avarice, greed and meanness would be the domi- nant note of life. “To eyes tired from watching and weeplnr. to hearts, broken by worry, to the halt, the lame, the sick, the weary, the blind and to the hungry, we lift the torch of charity. May its beautiful rays warm the souls of the poor and the needy in the District of Colunbia. ‘We fight for men, woguen and children; we fight for life and love; we fight for bread, we fight to keep alive in the hearts of men and women the divine | flame of faith, and go to battle against the meanest foes of men—poverty and hunger, the wolves of misery. In an. swer to the cry of humanity, we re- spond to the trumpet call of charity. Quotes “Green Pastures.” “In a play called ‘Green Pastures,’ God, feeling lonely, came to the earth | to rescue his people from the pagan pleasures which held them in bondage. Beholding a faithful follower standing | alone, fighting the Lord’s battles, God | asked this lone defender how he came to take up the cudgle for his Lord and Master. The defender of God replied, ‘Because I believe in the Lord’ And | you find Me?” ‘I found you,’ replied he, ‘through sorrow and suffering.’ 4 “Who knows but that in the provi- dence of God, we shall find ourselves by helping those who sorrow and suf- fer. Who knows but that in this small way, through charity, we shall find that reward and compensation which will bring with it our owy redemption. ‘There is nothing so insignificant in this life that God does not take cognizance of. Therefore, through and by an act of charity, we can make it a mighty force in removing the barriers that block our way to everlasting life. “Therefore, to those who wish to lift themselves out of the Valley of Indif- ference to the mountain heights of joy and happiness, we ask that they go with us along the high road of charity which is the road that one must tread who wishes to gather strength, refresh- ment and renewal in preparation for that longer journey which brings us to the stars, to heaven and to God.” Gifts of $100 and Over.
