TELL YOUR STORY

Some sound advice to business men,
especially those charged with the man
agement of the larger enterprises, was
given recently by H. A. Batten, president
of the country's biggest advertising agency
in an address before national advertisers
association at a convention at Hot Springs
Va.
He declared that the immediate and
pressing need of American business is to
get back the lost friendship and confidence
of the public through advertising
IF, like the telephone company,
said he, you had told the people of the
United States all about your company
your basic policy, your stock structure,
your operating methods, your employee re-
lationships, your services to the community
If, like the telephone company, you had
done this from the beginning, year after
year, so that each upcoming generation
would learn about it in turn, then you
would not today be in the position of hav-
ing to approach the public as a compare
tive stranger and to sue for its confidence,
for if you had done that you would al
ready enjoy that confidence as friend
Many industries and utilities have
been following the course Mr. Batten sug-
gests for many years and have profited
thereby. But many neglect to tell their
story until they are attacked, often BY poll,
teal demagogues and thus placed on the
defensive The public wants to beoofair,
but in order to do so it must have all the
facts. snae@}

The Files of The Citizen

One man drowned and three
missing and believed to have per-
ished in the flames, is the report
brought to Key West of fire on
a launch, or motorboat, in the
Northwest Channel in sight of
Key West at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Four survivors chung
to a Jell bouy in the channel all
night and were rescued by the
Steamship Cuba, as she came in
from Tampa this morning. The
rescued are italians who were
evidently smuggied into the coun-
try from Cuba: Only one of the
rescued men could speak English.
He was understood to say that
when the fire broke out all hands
jumped overheard, but none could
swim but the master of the YES
sci. He, they claim, swum to a
nearby Key. The four who were
rescued are in the county jail
They have been taken in charge
by the immigration officers, who
called in the coast guard to con
tinue the search for the missing
men.

When the Aeromarine established air
service between this country and Cuba,
Key West became the first international
base of the United States, and is ideally
situated for naval air base. The Key
West Chamber of Commerce should make
this an objective of its major program, es-
pecially now that the House Committee
on Naval Affairs is keeping weather eye
open for suitable air bases.

General Johnson, of NRA fame, once
close to the President, still thinks well of
him, but he mathematics and excoriates
the Presidents advisers, calling them all
kinds of epithets from his well-stocked
vocabulary But if these embryonic Ma
chiavellians have such hypnotic influence
over him. why does not the President get
rid Of Them Evidently, they are telling
him what he likes to hear, or he would.

There is not only an abundant
supply of fresh water under Key
West but this will be flowing
through a modern water and sew
erage system within a short time,
comparatively. is the opinion of
Eugene G. Ashe, former president
of The Chamber of commerce and
now a sugar raiser in Cuba. This
is the one thing, now that the
Overseas Highway is assured, that
Key West needs to make it the
fastest growing city of its size in
the United States. Mr.. Ashe said
during a conversation with Citi.
zsn representative that he makes
the prediction, based on solid
facts, about the flow of water
and is just as sure of its being
fulfilled IS he was when he pre-
dicted the contraction of the
highway.

The date Of congressional adjourn.
ment depends to q large degree on the
outcome of the move to send the bill
back to committee.
II the measure should be recon-
mitted. veteran legislators said, ef-
forts to enact other legislation would
collapse and Congress would adjourn
swiftly Failure Of the recommit-
tai proposal. they predicted, would
work just the other way.
Majority Leader Barkley and Sem
ator Black, Democrat, Of Alabama
expressed confidence the Senate would
pass the bill. desepite a split in Dem
ocratic ranks.
Many Democratic Senators who
helped to shelve the Presidents pro-
gram for reorganizing the Supreme
Court were allied against the wage
and hour measure. Most Of those who
stayed with the administration in the
court fight were supporting it.
There were exceptions on both sides
Senator Harrison, Democrat, OF Mis-
sissippi. whom Barkley defeated for
the party leadership, was publicly
committed for the court bill, but said
he would vote to send the wage and
hour bill back to the Labor COMMITTEES.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat of Mon
tana who led opposition forces to
victory In the court fight, lined up
with the administration on the wage
and hour issue.
Republicans were almost solidly be-
hind the opposition proposal to re-
commit the bill II such a motion
should carry. it would end for this
year Senate consideration of the
measure, one Of the major items on
the administration program.
Cites Activity of Frey.
Frey's activity against the bill was
called to the attention OF the Senate
yesterday by Wheeler, who demanded
an expression Of attitude from Green.
Senator Black, co-author Of the bill.
said he had heard the federation was
opposing 1t. but as an answer he dis
played a telegram from federation
units in Birmingham. Ala, indorsing
the measure. He said he had other
kilograms from federation unions in
all parts Of the country approving the
legislation.
The bill would authorize a new
Federal board to Ak minimum wages
