I presume the ecorrespo oI1dent
refers to Will Osborne as the
COPY artist. OrboTne claims
and it has never been satisfac-
torily refuted-that he was the
originator OF that type Of radio
singing described as Grooming"
Therefore he may, in fact, ne
does, contend that Vallee is the
imitator. AS to who is the bet
ter, listeners may judge. Per.
Sonally, both could be retired
from the air without my protest.
There are a score who ] like bet
ter, including JesSica Dragonette,
Frank Crummit. Waugh DeLeath
Westall Gordon, to name just a
few.
The intelligence, which Mr.. Val
lee puts into his programs is not
reflected in his recent published
interviews. When he says that
newspapers have nothing to do
with his popularity, 1t impresses
me as nonsense and an indication
that success has gone to his head.
This is the last of the Vallee
controversy. In fact, it is more
space than an sungrateful and

4, There seems to exist a belief
that Rudy vallee gets much the
worst OF 1t from radio editors
and others who write Of his air
activities The letter which fol
lows is TYPICAL: a
"AEy Dear Mr.. Wade:
Il am writing to ask You .
question which perhaps you
can, II win, answer In your
radio columns. II Il this:
''Why Is IL that people, edi-
tors, ETC., keep giving filings at
Rudy VaIlee? l see in your
columns Of yesterday q little
fling at him, and 50 thought
perhaps you'd answer this. To
my knowledge, he has never
been rude to, or refused to an
swer questions Of any news
paper man, which 1t seems
gNlight be the cause Of 1t. Ana
yet, again, there Is Lindbergh
who refuses to say anything,
and yet he Is their idol? Among
the other men Of note, Coolidge
used to refuse 70 talk, and they
never cared much shout him
one way or another. But Rudy
seems to catch Il on all sides.
"SOme One has suggested that
the papers side with the young
man who has . band and imi-
tates him over the radio? Still
Rudy has never resented that,
ut least publicly, when some
people might have resented 1t
very strongly, II they had had
their thunder stolen.
81 don't suppose there Is any
law, however, against initiating
another persons mannerismS,
music, ETC., without saying be-
fOrehand that il Is in imitation
Of that person? Rudy initiated
ChevalIier the other night, but
he said exactly whom he was
initiating. If the band leader
to whom / refer has ever given
Rudy credit for his original
stunts / have never heard him
do so.
''No one could help but mo-
tice the iFitation-that is, in
the SPOKEN part of the pro-
gram.
However, rs soon as this
band leader had sung one verse
/ knew it was not Vallee. or
course you noticed it toe, il
you paid attention to that part

General Motors

leased today, makes cheerful
reading for stockholders. The
company has certainly done a
magnificent job in getting its
house In order. Cash increased
1900, 900 and cash assets in
cluding marketable Securitiessare
well over 5000. 900 900. inventories
were reduced SIS, 200, 600.
Evidently some inkling of this
came out yesterday for the stock
was one of the strong spots in
the market. With earnings OF
$2.7O on the common for the
nine months, motors should cover
its So dividend for the year and
stu carry few millions to sur
plus.
I understand that the merger
Of the Manufacturers Trust, Pub
lie National, Bank Of United
States and International Trust
is In the "bag," and that all the
differences have been ironed out.
C0nsummation Of the deal may
be announced today. Rumors
that the merger had gone through
led to important short covering
yesterday.
The Oils
Despite the dark clouds sur
ronnding the oil production and
refining situations, petroleum
stocks have been meeting more
attention : rnarketwiSe. Better
buying has been reported IN a
number of them, including Sin
clair and Standard Of Indiana. !
am told that there are big orders
in for the former a point or so
under the market, This is easily
explainable since Sinclair com
mon at current prices is selling
q good many millions under its
cash assets alone.
Practically every oil stock IS
selling at a tremendous discount
from it's book value. Unfor-
tunately, however, these huge in
vestmentS cannot be translated
into earnings under current con-
ditions and prices. Nor can it
be said yet the oils have seen
bottom. Jersey Standard, for ex-
ample, broke it's panic support
point of so and could easily get
knocked off quite bit more.
Another answer has been given
to, the present cry of who is sell,
ing stocks. I understand the
head of one Of our leading cor
pofations dumped 100000 shares
of high grade stocks and bought
his own stock when he saw it,
the shares of his own company
fan to a S per cent yield basis.
81 Here and There
Copper producers are said to
have reached an agreement
calling for a 20 per cent cut, in
world production. There is d
persistent report copper will be
advanced to 10 cents a pound
soon.
There has been good buying
insgold dust.
General Foods is apparently un-
der heavy pressure. I am bull
iSl1 on the stock for the long
pun, but I advise avoiding it for
the time being as it looks lower.

MOTORS WAGES
MAINTAINED

NEW YORK, Now 11.-General
Motors Corporation has made no
reductions either in salaries OF
wages, . according to Alfred P
Sloan, jr., president, who said It
was his hope that no such read
justment would be necessary.
He said.
ITO my mind, it is important
for industry to appreciate the
fact that the prosperity Of the
United States is founded on q
high wage scale. To reduce
the wage scale, in my Judgment,
would not. only delay the return
Of more normal times but
put a limit, and an unneces-
sary limit, on the future pros
perity of the country.
"The broader the margin
that exists between the daily
wage and the necessities Of Life,
the more the individual has
available to purchase additional
products and profit by his leiS-
ure hours, This development Of
purchasing power creates wealth
which, in turn, reacts through.

tiOn."
