A DUMMY SUBSCRIBER,


Practicaiiy every bureau in the
government organization is engaged
in some sort Of publicity work in
order to advertise its usefulness and
insure continuance Of approprla-

ample of these publications is the
Emergency Fleet News, gotten out
by the shipping board. According
to Congressman johnson of WASH

year was placed upon It In order to
keep down circulation. and make 1t
available only to those who woulc
really derive benefit from It's col

Is one paid subscription and 10000
free subscriptions. Many of the
columns of one issue were devoted
to the description Of a banquet at

instances are awakening Congress to
