CORPORATION BooN-DoGGLING

Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president Of
General Motors, felt inspired to mix
some heavy philosophy in his last
semi-annual pamphlet report" issued
a few days ago. After making the
sapient remark that government can
not continue to spend more than it
collects, Mr.. Sloan goes on:
Constructive enterprise sponsored
by private initiative, must be substi-
tuted for boon-doggling, actuated by
political consideration, and paid for
not only by the taxpayer but by every
individual consuming goods and US
ing services"
# there is any corporation whose
officials should beware of any COM
ments to 'boon-dogglng," it is Gen
aral Motors. If there is any fantastic
waste Of money worse than General
Motors purchase of the so-calleo
aeany lamps, it is something not yet
on record
General Motors bought severa
electrical patents from a man named
Heany in 1920, paying for them with
S1l2,759 in cash, Sill, 900 par value
Of preferred stock of its own issue
and $5,908, 500 par value of its owl
common stock These patents were
already under fire as frauds; they
were voided a little later by the pat
ent office. Two men who had helped
Heany get these patents were sent te
prison for fraud, though by SOM
freak Of chance, Heany escaped
Lawrence Settler, an admitted author
ity on automobile history, sums III
the money consequences of this trans
action thus;
"on October |, 1927, the securitie
issued for the Heany companies, a
multiplied by stock dividends, had
market value in excess Of $4,000,
900; BY this date more than $4,000,
600 in cash dividends had been pai
upon them, and they now comman

"The cattle and draft horse
shows have achieved nationwide
recognition. The sheep show is the
largest in the world. The swine
show is of major Importance. The
poultry industry in our state is of
such tremendous economic import

Talk about boon-doggling! Talk
about the cost of wasted money to
consumers All that was paid for
the Heany patents, all that has been
paid since on the securities issued to
buy the Heany patents, is pure, un-
adulterated waste, and there are just
three places from which it could be
taken: The stockholders of General
Motors, the workers for General Mo
tors, and the public that bought cars
from General Motors.
Mr. Sloan, when he feels again the
call to preach, should go back over
the history of his own company.

There are many reports of steady

One international union reports

it is difficult to care for them.

A BIT OF POETIC JUSTICE

What is happening to us Nordics
over at Berlin, anyway? We have al
ways prided ourselves on our athletic
prowess, but we seem to have lost our
pep. Jesse Owens, Negro, establishes
himself as the worlds champion
sprinter, and then, just to fill time,
wins the broad jump and the hammer
throw. Kitei Son, Japanese, breaks
all records in the Marathon race, and
trots blithely to his quarters after
taking that 26-nile, 385-yard spin;
and the Japanes team wins the swim
ming match. Somebody's just natur-
ally put spell on US.
Still, if it hurts our vanity, think
of what it must be doing to Herr
Hitler, who has preached race preju-
dice as religion, who has put it for
ward as justification for persecution,
murder, and the overthrow of all free
institutions. Considering that Herr
Hitler had to be present at the tri-
umphs won by African and Mongohan
every lover of freedom should re.
joice. It's bit of poetic justice.

There are plenty of misguided
souls who think the internal division
in the ranks Of labor will weaken la
Dor against the common opponent.
That isn't so.
There are several reasons.
One reason is in the fact that the
rank and file of union members have
a common interest and will insist that
whoever may be in trouble shall be
helped.
Another reason is in the very struc-
ture of unionism.
The labor movement is composed Of
national and international unions.

RICHMOND. Va, Jan. II.
Both houses of the general assem-.

day.
A bill providing $50 a month for
indigents over IS years Of age was
dropped into the Senate hopper
yesterday before they quit for the
week. The bill was sponsored by
Senator E. r. Fuller, Richmond,
who asks that $375,000 annually
be appropriated for old age pen
sions. He also asks maximum Of
$100 for funeral expenses for re-
cipients of the pension.
His bill was referred to the SEN
ate finance committee after Sen
ator Benjamin Muse. Petersburg,
had urged a fact and cost finding
committee be appointed by the
finance body to study the Situa-
ton.
Senator Fuller pointed out Gov
ernor Peery has recommended the
appropriation of more than a mil

of this, the senator declared,
would be used in caring for aged
needy and he urged, in the in
terest of economy, that the State
appropriate the sum he asks, to be
matched by the counties and
municipalities. His bill. Senator
Fuller declared, would closely
