WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.--A pro- paganda campaign. paid for by the public, and of a greater magnitude than any other undertaken "ex- cept possibly by governments in war time," was laid to utilities companies yesterday by the Fed eral Trade Commission.
 This conclusion was reached by the commission after six-year long study of utilities and is con tained in the first installment of the final report.
 Later, recommendations will be made, probably suggesting that utilities be required to identify clearly propaganda material.
 The commission found every pub licity, except sky writing" used in an attempt to influence the public.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 15.- Ghosts walk at the Hermitage.
 In the stiffness of a late fall day there seems to finger some faint echo of the brilliance and gaiety of it's past-the laughter of young southerners, the footsteps of great statesmen. the strident voice of their host, Andrew Jack son.
 But that historical estate, where the bones of "Old Hickory" and the traditions of the Old South are enshrined, is about to extend a lively welcome to Franklin D. Roosevelt-the same welcome it has given to seven other presi- dents of the United States in the past century.
 Familiar With Era
 President Roosevelt plans to visit the Hermitage about November 15 en route from Washington to his vacation cottage at Warm Springs, Georgia.
 Students of his speech writing style long ago noted his familiar ity with the events and issue of the administration of President Andrew Jackson. It is known MT. Roosevelt planned from the hour of his own election to revive in the minds of Democrats memories of the rugged Tennesseean.
 His visit to the home of "Old Hickory" is seen as part fulfill

ment of his wishes in this con- nection.
 Built in 1923
 First constructed in 1923, the mansion burned II years later but was rebuilt with all the elegance of the period while Jackson was President.
 Today the spirit of Tennessees most famous son still lives in the characteristics of the house, for it is preserved as it was when the old warrior and his wife, Rachel, welcomed society into its stately halls.
 Coming up the driveway, Presi- dent Roosevelt will pass the same tall cedars that formed a guard of honor in Jackson's day. With in the cool, spacious depths of the colonial mansion, he will find the same furniture arranged in the fashion that met the taste of Rachel Jackson.
 In the garden are the graves of Andrew and Rachel.
 Many President Visitors
 Other chief executives have made the same pilgrimage-Monroe, Polk, Van Buren, Fillmore, Pierce, Bu- chanan and Theodore Roosevelt.
 Although not in the presidency at the time of their visits, there came at intervals down the years Andrew Johnson, Hayes, Cleveland, McKinleY. Wilson and Taft.

DEMOCRATS TO
 PAY ALL DEBTS
 BY JANUARY 1
Aid of All Citizens Will Be Welcomed for Party
 Participation

WASHINGTON, Nov. .15.-The Democrats, successful in electing a second New Deal Congress, yes terday formulated plan to pay off $500,000 of their National Committees debts by January l and clear the finance sheet for the 1886 Presidential election.
 Chairman James A. Farley said: Aid of citizens in all parts of the country will be welcomed with a view of broadening the base of participation in the Party's af- fairs.
 We have decided to limit all subscriptions to a maximum of S1 OO0. No single offering over that sum will be solicited"
 Democratic National Commit tee Chairman Farley further ex- plained the limit will result in the desire to have as many as possible to participate in the Par tvs affairs.

Campaign Oper, But Headaches Occur on Both Sides; Familiar Question Must Yet Be Ans,Uered
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, WashingtOnl

Not for the Republicans alone has the election posed the familiar question, Where do we go from here?"
 The returns promise, in the end, to complicate that problem for the Democrats, rather than clarify it.. It is popular fallacy that, in politics, all the headaches go to the vanquished.
 Despite the election, the same discordant and probably irrecon- ciliable elements continue to ex- ist within the Democratic party. The debate between right and left goes on. To make matters worse, the adherents of both sides, hav- ing won the campaign in their re- spective localities, feel more fully justified than ever in keeping up the fight.
 What has happened is that the country has just passed through, not one campaign, but 435 cam paigns,-one for each Congression- al district.
 In some sections the dominant party chose to be conservative, in some liberal, in some radical. That could be done handily in 1884, when no national platform had to be adopted.
 The rub is that it will be much more difficult to do in the Presi- dential year, 1886.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15. -T'he Blue Eagle, insofar as it makes for fair trade practices, still commands wide favor in American industry.
 This is the concensus of 125 editors of business and trade pub lications who were queried on code operations.
 The replies indicated that most of the industries profited by fair trade rules, where enforcement is effective.
 Price fixing, however, won less favor. The editors found only a few industries outspoken for con- tinuation of price fixing.

 Redlingshafer briefly described the work of the Red Cross move ment and introduced a portion of his staff of co-workers who, today, are cleaning up" the city in an effort to make the Roll Call 100 per cent.
 "In agreeing to head the Ju- neau Roll Call this year." Redling- shafer said, T first. felt it neces- sary to find out, for myself, just what the Red Cross aims were. l was surprised to find that 49 per cent of the organizations monies are spent on disaster relief.
 "The Red Cross has, in Wash ington, D. C., a setup of prepared packages of needed relief articles which can be shipped at mo- ments call. The preparedness of the, organization for any major disaster, impressed me.
 For War Relief
 seventeen per cent of the agen- cy's funds go to war relief. An- other 13 per cent is used for it's wonderful school and home nurse department. This section of the Red Cross does a great work in prevention of disease. "The Red Cross was organized in 1881 and was chartered by Congress in 1906. From that time to the present day it has existed solely on the opinion and support of the citizens of the nation; it receives no funds from the govern ment."
 Redlingshafer said that the Ju- neau drive was practically com plete. He introduced six women aides who were present at the luncheon most of whom were en- gagged in cleanup" activities to- day.
 Among those doing last-minute detail work were the Misses Ellen Mize. Esther Jackson and Mrs.

When President Theodore Roose- welt visited the Hermitage in 1907, he declared: T cannot imagine any American President failing to visit the tomb of Andrew Jack son if the opportunity comes"
 Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, spent many months at the Hermitage in his child hood. And Sam Houston, first and only president of the republic of Texas, was frequent visitor, for he looked upon Jackson as his mentor.
 State Owned Now
 The Hermitage is state owned now. Perpetuation of it's traditions rests with the Ladies Hermitage Association whose members will cooperate with Representative Jos eph w. Byrns, official host for President Roosevelt's visit, in serv- ing luncheon in the famous Her mitage dining room.
 Perhaps the guests will dine from the same heavy silver dish es Jackson obtained from the widow of the naval hero, Commo- dore Stephen Decatur.
 Of excellent construction and spaciousness, the colonnaded man. sion stands today as it did a hun dred years ago-a monument to the splendor of the ante-bellum south and the warrior statesman who called it home.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. - The Administration, in concentrating on getting the economic system to function" may allow certain of it's vast plans for social insurance to wait until better times return.
 This is clear as observers digested the speech President Roosevelt made late yesterday afternoon to the delegates of the National Con- ference on Economic Security. Old Age Pension
 In talking of the social security program he proposed at the next Congress, the President definitely included the system of Federal and State unemployment insurance and that the system be financed by contributions, but he said of old age pension "I do not know wheth- CT this is the time for any Federal legislation on old age security but I hope, in time, we will be able to provide security for the aged
 Recovery Is First
 Talking of insurance against sick , ness, the President used the phrase sooner or later.' The tenor of his remarks on old age pensions and health insurance is under stood to be welcome to the school of thought that believes recovery should come first and reconstruc- tion afterward. To some students of governmental affairs, the Presi- dents speech seemed further evil dence that the Government and business community is continuing to find more common ground in the attack on depression.
 New Plans
 The Presidents statement on re- lief and in getting the economic system to function" as the first tasks turned the spotlight on new plans being worked out.

DIFFERENT APPEAL FOR lss'

 The emergency character of the Roosevelt program up to now has made it easier to keep party poll icy in Aux.
 Those Democrats who looked with doubt on the things which were being done consoled them selves with the thought that it all was temporary, that in due course the experiments could be aban- doned, and the country brought back to an even keel.
 Now. however. the situation is changing. It is obvious to every one, for instance. that spending cannot go on much longer on the
