WASHINGTON, - Hardly any
w thing could have hurt Presi-
dent Roosevelt more than the
death of Gus Gennerich, his inti-
mate personal friend and body
guard.
The president will be lonelier
man-how much lonelier only
those of the White House inner
circle can realize.
Gennerich was almost 4 part OF
the president, around whom his
entire life conferred. . He was
never rewarded with power or
public honor, which he didn't
seek, but Roosevelt's affection for
him became at least as great as
the president had had for any
other man. lis
Gennerich, whose first ambition
was to be "a cop" became men,
Der of the family and sat at table
with the Roosevelts. He was the
presidents trainer and masseur,
who always handled his wheel
chair, who lifted him up and put
him down.
His friends say he was the
bravest man they ever knew. AL
ways alert in the presidential au-
tomobile in the possible line of
fire, il was Gus who jumped in
front Of his chief when Zangara
started shooting at Miami four
years ago.
A; WHILE ago Louis Howe,
- trusted counselor who was
the only man who ever matched
GennericG's intimacy with Roose-
welt, died. Ray Moley: who once
appeared at the presidents bed
side every morning, has soured
and no longer is seen at the
White House.
Rex Tugwell, the next closest
brain truster,"' is going. Rela-
tions with Basil O'Connor, Roose-
yelt's old law partner, have been
cooler since O'Connor was found
to have received a $4,000 fee
from q power trust" company
for work against the holding com.

clares that all he wants is rca-
sonable profit above his cost. He
says that is only fair. Well, that
all depends. It depends on the
mans cost. If his cost is excessive,
the plan is not fair to those who
buy his products.
Some persons are extravaganza
about keeping costs up. Others
are inefficient about keeping costs
down. One man can run bust
mess on much less than another
imam can run the same business.
4 For instance, in the United
States the cost of distribution
from producer to consumer is
two-thirds Of the consumers dol
lar. while in Denmark it is one
third.
When man is willing to go
on 4 cost-plus basis, he should
also be willing to have a compc-
tent, disinterestcd authority de-
termine what both his cost and
his porfit shall be. That arrange

fair to him and to his customers.
