DU POINT FINANCIAL /.
POLICY EXPLAINED
No Effort to Control Industry,
Merely Good Business

New York, July 20 R-A plan
OF corporate management, whereby
successful concerns use their sur
plus funds to purchase stock in
other successful firms. is the ex-
PLANTATION offered by the New York
World today for the purchase by
the Du Pont interest of 114,000
shares Of common stock Of the
United States Steel.
Suggestions that the Du Pont
purchase foreshadowed a vast COM
bination of corporate and private
wealth. says the World, are not
taken seriously in responsible fnan-
cial circles.
The Du Points, the World notes,
merely were following their previous
policy as when in 1920 they pur-
chased dominant interest in Gen
eral Motors. Du Pont now receives
annually between $15,0O0,oo0 and
s25, 100000 in dividends from Its
General Motors holdings.
The World says there are two fac
tors for investments by corporations
in one another-the yield is higher
than that of bonds and the returns
in dividends are not subject to taxa
ton.
In lesser degree, says the World.
this practice is being followed by
scores Of corporations. 1t points out
that Allied Chemical and Steel owns
approximately 100000 shares of
United States Steel and that the
General Electric company owns an
equity in the Radio Corporation OF
America.

Council Committee Hears
Claims Against CITY

The common council claims COM
mittee met last evening and consid-
cred several claims but took no ac-
ton pending further information.
The scheduled hearing on the claim
Of Joseph Graborki OF 242 Park
Terrace. Hartford. did not take place
due to the non-appearance OF the
claimant.
The claim Of stefano Brasile,
guardian OF Philip Brasile, aged Z.
was heard. The boy said he was on
the sidewalk on Clinton street on
May FL when a tractor owned by the
public works department and driven
by Joseph Roy. struck a stone in the
street and swerved in such manner
that one of the wheels ran over his
right foot and bruised it. Attorney
Alfred Levitt representing the
claimant. said he understood from
witnesses that the driver deliberately
steered the apparatus towards the
boys who were on the sidewalk. and
then attempted to get 1t back into
its course, as if to frighten the
youngsters. The claim was $40 for
physicians services. $50 for X-ray
pictures and SO for medicines. The
committee will summon Roy to the
next meeting to give his side of the
incident.

Byrd's Brother Wants
Him to DELAY His Trip

Atlanta, Ga, July 20 R-Gover-
nor Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia, Is
trying to induce Commander Rich
ard E. Byrd to postpone his pro-
posed fight over the South Pole an
other year but he Is determined to
go ahead this fall" the brother Of
the famous naval aviator said here
today.
Il saw Dick in New York when
he landed a few weeks ago. He Is
full of plans for his South Pole
flight" declared the governor. but,
I tell you, 1t is venture so danger
Gus I don't believe many people
comprehend it's hazards. The South
Pole is much colder than the North
Pole, its atmosphere more rarefied
and its much further from the base
of supplies.
LAS to his Paris fight he tells me
that the newspapers misquoted him
in saying he was lost in the fog. He
could not see any lights, and so Of
course he could not land, but he
turned deliberately toward the sea
because it offered the only chance
of safe landing.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES
United Press President Says Trend
Now Is Toward Conservatism In
Daily News.

New York. July 20 (UP)-Ameri-
can Journalism is in a state Of tran
sition toward conservatism, Karl A.
Bickel. president of the United Press
association, said last night in an ad-
dress before the Photographers as
ISOLATION of America.
I'VE are now witnessing the clos
ing days of a period that has eX-
listed for the past 20 years, which
was kept alive at least 10 years more
than it normally would have been
because Of the tremendous events of
the great war; Bickel said.
Already the content of most
newspapers is less flamboyant, he
pointed out, although tremendous
headlines and hashy makeup per-
sst. He predicted the American
press would become more liberal
editorially and saner in presentation
Of news.
THE newspaper man Is coming to
regard facts as a banker regards
money-as great responsibility and
a sacred trust" Bickel said in sum-
marizing his theme. "A newspaper
publisher who would maltreat or
pervert facts to deceive his readers
will have the same standing as a
banker who embezzles your funds

Preparing for grand opera is
