press conferences afford and 1t has
remained only for some large-bore
president to take full advantage Of 1t.
1t is too early to predict whether
Hoover will be more communicative
than Coolidge, relatively speaking. or
whether he will just make the news
papermen think he is. It's safe
bet that Hoover will make far more
news than Coolidge did ana hence
have much more TO announce. II, iii

off Hoover n the few weeks be-
fore Inauguration. Among them has
always been a small group of hero
worshipers who made Hoover their
ideal and there have been notable
additions to this since his nominal
ton.
Nevertheless. most of the boys
seemed to be sore at him personally
and there was much talk about this
state Of affairs and much wagging of
! heads. 1t may be interesting to note
that some of the most cordial Hoo
yer -haterS among them have always
been at the head OF the parade when
it came to writing nice things about
the president-elect.
That fact may indicate. too, that
the personal reactions of correspond
ents to presidents are nothing for
presidents to worry about. Coolidge
got along we'll. Hoover is said to be
extremely sensitive about critical
stories appearing about him in the
newspapers. but he hasn't had much
of which to complain
During the campaign most news
papermen wanted AL Smith to win, If
only because he seemed SO muc.l more
"colorful" and companionable. Re-
ports were circulated among them
that the candidate had one or two
stool pigeons" riding ON the Hoover
train. Possibly these were unfounded.
but many correspondents assigned to
cover Hoover suddenly became very
careful about expressing themselves
in any group.
\ X y
Thus. when form of censorship
| was imposed on radio dispatches
from the newspapermen accompany
ing Hoover to South America there
were many prepared to be very sore
about it. When the party returned
| every member was besieged by inquir-
| les. The boys left behind bawled
! them out for submitting to this SUI
pervision. The local journalistic COL
Ony seethed with excitement. The
fact that the Good Will Tour CORE
Spondents were able to cable what
ever they liked from shore appar-
emily failed to temper resentment.
After his return. both in Washing
ton and Florida. Hoover was uncom-
municative to the news writer's and
the report spread that he planned to
be more cloSemouthed than Coolidge.
Journalistic hostility increased. for
Hoover had not then openly explained
to them the quite obviously delicate
nature of his position.
But now. as hereinbefore noted, all
Is forgiven.

Ing with happiness and all is for

Gone, In most instances, is the sour
attitude so many Of them had adopt
ed toward President Hoover A few
days ago that sour attitude was
thought to y. very significant
thing, auguring considerable danger
for president who. heaven knew,
had other troubles enough. The i'm
preston seemed to be that the jour-
nalistic hostility would be pretty hard
for Mr.. Hoover to remove.
just few words changed all that
Whereas it had been rumored that
Mr.. Hoover would not continue the
semi-weekly White House confer
ences. that even if he did they would
be lledged in more rigidly than ever
and, worst OF all. that Mr.. Hoover
was going to play favorites among a
small group of newspapermen while
the rest went hungry. what happened
was that Mr. Hoover had press con-
ference On his very first day in Of
flee, promised more prolific confer
ences than before, politely explained
his past rctiCence. called for n jour-
naliStic committee to help plan the
new, bigger ar 1 better conferences
and expressed willingness to see indi-
vidual correspondents alone from
time to time.
Whereupon the correspondents. no
longer feeling that Mr.. Hoover placed
them III the insect class. broke into
loud cheers. Some Of them almost
broke into tears.
The probability Is, of course that
the first Hoover press conference laid
the cornerstone for the most enor-
NOUS propaganda factory of all time.
One does not make that suggestion
cynically. but because the possibilities
OF the White House press conference
are obvious and because Mr.. Hoover
has always exhibited a constant de-
sire to guide the news writer's in a
way helpful to his detectives. Neither
does one suggest that there Is any
thing sinister in the idea. because
Mr.. Hoover Is as patriotic as anyone
and is, furthermore. presumably lit
tie smarter than the average CORE
spondent.
Washington has in recent years
been called "the news capital of the
world" Perhaps the term is little
'high-flown, but the capital certainly
has some claim to it. The White
House is the r-around center of
Washington news. It's only COMPETE

VIRGINIA INDUSTRY
SHOWS PROSPERITY
Report Denotes Activity Is
Greatest for Season Since
War Time.
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, February 16.-In-
dustrial activity throughout Virginia Is
probably better this season than 1t has
been In any corresponding season in
the history Of the State, with the ex-
ception Of the World War period, Will
liam Boncer, field representative of the
State Department of Labor, reports In
his last industrial survey for the period
January to Is.
In his report to John Hopkins Hall,
jr, head of the department, Mr.. Bon
Ger says in part:
ut is natural at this time of the
year for Industries to go through some
readJustments, but compared with pre-
vious years there is very little unem-
ployment among our people.
Coal mines that are operating are
making practically full time, although
road work Is being done in many parts
OF the State, giving employment to a
large number of men.
Manufacturing plants are practically
all running on q good schedule. Sew
eral large building projects which were
started in 1928 are still going forward
and several others are getting started
The Newport News Shipbuilding &
Dry Dock Co. has recently been award
ed contract for the construction of
two ocean liners, each costing about
$5,000,000 The shipbuilding plant of
Spear Engineering Co., Inc, at Ports
mouth, has large contracts on hand.
At Fredericksburg the Virginia Gen.
trail Railroad Is making extensive inn
provements to its line between Fred
ericksburg and Orange, and the Manas-
sas Feed & Milling Co., with plants at
Manassas and Milford, have combined
annual production Of 10000 barrels of
flour, $4,000 tons of feed and 10000 bar
relS of cereals
At Alexandria the Virginia Public
Service Co. will soon build a four-story
oftice building. The Government is to
erect new post office building at a
cost OF $380,000. A new school building
Is being constructed at cost of $50, 600.
A large airport is to be established on
2,000-acre tract near the city. A new
apartment house with 20 apartments Is
now being constructed at a cost of more
than 100000. An annex is being built
to the Sunday school rooms Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at cost
OF $30.0 900. The Virginia Public Service
Co. Is building new substation.
