A. T.& 7. PUBLICITY
SURVEY RELATED
Studied Conditions Which
Prevented Higher Rates,
Board Told.
Nv the Assoctaten Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Communications Commission
was told today that the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. paid a
publicity expert" who knew the
politicians" $4,000 for a five-year
study of conditions which prevented
the Indiana Telephone Co. from pro-
curing higher rates.
Continuing hearings in its investi-
cation of the A. T. & T., the COM
mission was told by Samuel Becker,
special F. C. G. counsel, that the A.
r. g. T., had arrayed bankers and in
vestors behind it moves to procure
higher rates in several States and that
an A. T. & T. executive had sug-
gested that business men might put
some pressure" on the Michigan
Utilities Commission.
Introducing correspondence from A.
T. & T. files going back to 1920,
Becker brought out that E. S. Wilson,
A. T. & T. vice president, had en-
ployed Thomas r. Shipp. Washington
publicity man, in 1920 at salary of
$500 a month.
Wilson testified that "Shipp's work
was to investigate the situation in
Indiana and report to me-"
The service was poor" he said,
Earnings were low and we hadn't
been able to get any satisfactory or
ders from the commission"
What did Shipp report on?" Beck
er asked.
His reports concerned interviews
with newspaper men to find out their
attitude. He also knew some of the
commissioners and talked with them -
He knew the politicians? He
talked with the chairmen of the
Democratic and Republican Commit
tees?"
II assume he did"
HE talked with the GOVERNOR"
"I think he knew the Governor. "

In Mr.. Roosevelt's case, 1t Is = kind
Of boyishness which wishes q thing
and thereupon assumes that whatever
he wishes. actually Is. In his Omaha
speech, Mr.. Roosevelt wished to make
his Endorsement Of Senator Norris en-
phatic. A striking way to make it en-
phatic would be to say he had never
done anything like 1t before. And he
said 1t.

barometer"
He Is barometer In more than the
ordinary meaning Of sensing" political
currents and breezes, and reacting to
them. Mr.. Roosevelt Is q barometer
to everything around him, to the
crowds he addresses, the persons who
call on him. And as the crowds have
differing emotions, and the callers diff
fering purposes, so does the barometer
give differing reflections.
Explains Platform Sidesteps.
Accompanying this trait goes an i'm
mense capacity for sincerity about the
thing he happens to wish to believe at
the time. This quality explains much
that is mystifying in Mr.. Rooeevelt's
record. 1t explains. for example. the
apparent sincerity Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT s
recent Chicago speech placating busi-
ness. 1t may account, possibly, for the
remark of Arthur Krock OF the New
York Times that Mr.. Roosevelt has 4
way Of creating an impression with
out making q commitment" 1t ac-
counts for the perfectly open. fragrant
departures from campaign pledges and
other public promises and statements.
Mr.. Roosevelt meant his pledges-at
the time he made them. But times
changed, the conditions changed. And
Mr.. Roosevelt. q lively barometer,
changed with them. He Is as sincere
when he practices great spending as
he was when he promised great econ
omy.
In q person occupying an ordinary
position in life, this trait of personality
may do no great harm. In q President
it may be dangerous. Understanding
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's capacity for believ-
ing what he wants to believe, and of
the ephemeralness Of his sincerities,
will help the country to understand
him as man. 1t can not beget con-
fidence in his stability as President.

Now the point of this does not lie
in the fact Of q President taking q
hand In the local politics OF State.
It does not lie merely in the fact OF
a Democratic President openly work
ing against the election Of Democratic
candidates-though orthodox Demo-
Gratis must be dismayed to see their
party being undermined. The point
does not lie in Mr.. Roosevelt promot-
ing the growth Of a new party with
purposes wholly strange to America,
the Farmer-Labor party-though this
is an extremely important develop
ment.
The point that is relevant here lies
In . light which the Omaha episode
throws on Mr. .vEoosevelt's personality.
The personal traits of any head Of state
are always momentous. They are es-
pecially 30 when the head Of state has
been given such extraordinary powers
,as Mr.. Roosevelt has. Te the degree
that any country passes from govern

and emotional traits Of the man ad-

as the wording OF statutes.
Mr.. Roosevelt has the trait which q

The detection of Col Spingarn. q

considerable interest. in view Of the
fact that he is president Of the Ma

the colored people are closer to the
fulcrum of political forces than per-
haps ever before. There have been
some ready assumptions that Col Spin

Roosevelt camp.
My friend, Arthur Spingarn. the
Colonels brother, has shared the lat

decades or more, and. sitting in with
Arthur Spingarn in some Of these en-
