| Trained HEADS
SEEN As NEED |
Of BUSINESS
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-After
the summer shutdown, Americas
mass production industry of dis
pensing culture on a grand scale
has begun again N its s'blast
furnaces" and is now operating TIP
to capacity.
The nations universities again
find their facilities Cvertaxed. as
the demand for college degrees ex-
ceeds the supply. The mass buy
ing OF higher education is d phase
OF the rising standard Of living
and the widely diffused prosperity.
One wonders whether in the future
the degree Of doctor Of philosophy
will become as UNIVERSAL az the
common school training now 10.
OverprOduction Seen
What viii be the effect Of this
clamor for culture on the na.
tiona1 life and on the nationys
business? Walter B. Pitlxin. pro.
lessor Of Journalists at Colurn.
oia University and associate ca.
itor of Encyclopedias Bristanica,
in a. new book ont today, throws
q. .bonnbsheIl into cofnplacent acar
deniic circles, which have been
WalIowing In the new prosperity.
In q rugged volume called The
Twilight of the American Mind.
which is likely TO be received Ia
conservative quarters like -
many sticks OF dynamite, he
warns that there win be q gross
overproduction Of ACCIDENTALLY
trained minds. for which the
market viii offer no satisfactory
outlet.
At present however Pitkin
finds men of inteiligencp at the
peak of affluencs. for the first
time taking over control Of
worldly affairs.
Instead Of turning out gradu.
ates skilled In arts and letters,
PitlSifl urges the universities to
seek to develop men OF the exc
cutive type.
Executives Needed
In plain words, the need Of the
hour is to develop executive
qualities in naen Of first-rate In.
te1iigence. The professors attack
on the intellectual powers cf
present-day Babbttts win cotae -
surprise and shock to many
presidents and chairnaen Of cor
porAt3cns.
On the other hand, executives
OF the type OF Owen D. Young,
chairman Of the General Electric
Company and Radio Corporation
Of America; W. s. Clifford, presi-
dent OF the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company: Matthew
s. Sloan. president of the New
York and Brooklyn Edison Com
panies; Clarence WooIley. presi
dent and chairman Of the Ameri
can Radiator Company; O. p. Van
Sweringen, chairman Of the Chesa
peake and Ohio and prime mover
in numerous other corporations !
Waddill CatchingS, investment
banker. and numerous other new
style executives seem prophetic of
the type which Prof. Pitkin asks
eugenists and educators to strive
to foster.

Join Hihbs { Co.

Fhe formal announcement that j.
Thilman Hendrick and Carl w.
Corby, had been taken into the
firm of W. B. Hibbs & Co. was
made today.
Although it was generally known
several days ago that the firm was
contemplating to increase it's mem
bership by adding the names of the
aoove mentioned prominent Wash
ingtonians, 1t was not until late
yesterday afternoon that the new
arrangement was consumated.
Beginning October /, w. B. Hibbs
d Co. will be composed of w. B.
Hibbs, w. W. Spaid and Karl w.
Corby. as active members of the
firm, with j. Thilman Hendrick as
q special partner.
Mr.. Hibbs, as in the past, will
continue to take active participation
in the management of the firm, 1t
was stated. This announcement was
made in reply to rumors that have
been rife in local financial circles
recently that he would retire from
the firm when the increase in mem-
bership took place.
II never have had and do not at
this time have any intention Of sell
ing out, or ceasing to take an active
participation in the management of
this firm Mr.. Hibbs said. Such
rumor is preposterous. and the en-
Iargement Of the firm is due to the
rapidly growing business of w. B.
Hfbbs & Co., which calls for eXpan-
sion"

Trade Active

Industrial and trade activity in
creased in volume in August and
there were increases also in the
wholesale commodity prices as wen
as in the demand for bank credit,
according to a monthly survey of
business made public by the Fed
eral Reserve Board yesterday.
The general distribution of COM
modities, the board said, showed sea-
sonal increases, but it declared
these increases were not as large
as the unusual sales of August
last year.
Between the middle of August and
the middle of September there was
q material increase in loans and in
vestments Of the member banks in
leading cities. according to the
analysis. Part of the increase was
in loans and securities and part re-
Elected a seasonal increase in other
loans. Deposits of the member
banks showed an increase during
the period. !,
The increase in total bills and Sc
curities held by the banks was
largely in holdings Of acceptances
and in discounts for member banks.
The period was marked by further
increases in open market rates on
collateral loans and on commercial
paper, while rates on bankers &C
ceptances were reduced from As
per cent to AZ per cent:
Continuing. the board said:
production of both manufactures
and minerals increased considerabI
in August, the output of manufac-
turing plants being larger than at
this season of any earlier year.
Automobile production was in rec
ord volume in August, and av all
able information indicates that out
put was maintained by many pro
ducers at a high level during Sep
tember. Iron and steel production
continued large in August and Sep
TENDER, and output Of nonferrous
metals increased between July and
August. Textile mill activity.
which had been somewhat reduced
in recent months. also showed a
substantial increase.
distribution of commodities
showed seasonal increases in Au-
gust although scales in most lines
of wholesale and retail trade did
not equal the unusually large sales
OF August, 1927. Department stores
stocks increased as is usual in Au-
gust although sales in most lines
wear ago. while inventories in sew
eraI lines of wholesale trade were
somewhat larger than last year.
Freight carIoadings were in about
the same volume in August as a
wear earlier. Shipments of mis-
cellaneous commodities and grams
were larger, and those of coal. iivc
stock and forest products sma Ter
than last year"

NEW YORK, Sept. rs Moderate

stocks in the early trading today
was the markets response to the
Reserve Boards report on brokers,
loans and the 6 per cent reneWa.
call loan rate. An expansion OF
$54. 0OO, 900 in speculative borrow
ings was less than expected, ana
in Wall Street it was believed that
the liquidation OF the last week
would materially cut down the
volume of outstanding loans on
stocks and bonds.
The Reserve Board monthly bust
ness summary was an eye-opener
for many who had not kept in close
touch with last months marvellous
expansion. Industrial production in
August was the largest in history
for that month, and advance orders
for steel, motor cars and other
important products were correspond
ingly large. The first 38 railroad
companies to report net income had
So per cent more in operating
revenues in August than in the
corresponding period of 1927.
Steel Leads Rally
United States Steel common, Cen
eral Motors, Chrysler, Johns-Man-
vile and few other speculative
favorites led the rally in the first
hour. More opposition was encoun-
tered in other sections of the market,
and only half-hearted response was
given to the financial districts to
the easier trend in money market.
Johns.Manville carried it's spectacu-
lar advance five points higher to 159,

Financial Editor

The new issue of securities to bc'

The new issue will be for cash

ments of Third Liberty bonds.
which are coming into the Tres

In discussing the coming issue
MIR. Mellon explained it would be
necessary to await developments
until just before the issue is con-
templated so that the Government
requirements as to cash may be
known, and also to study the
market in order to determine the
interest rate and the length of the
Issue.
