LETTER TO EDITOR

EDITOR, The PoSt-PreSS:
Being an ardent baseball fan as we'll as be-
ing interested in our cityS welfare and the
chamber of commerce effort to attract coast
league baseball teams to train in out city
prompts me to write.
As I understand from what I read in your
valuable paper the city spent something like
$4,000 on our baseball park and in order to
get the Seattle team here TO train they also spent
or guaranteed them some $500 to train here.
The chamber through its members rendered
the team a dinner at the Barbara Worth hotel
last Wednesday evening to welcome them to
our city well as to stir up some interest in
their spring training, as we'll as the preseason
games that they will play with other coast
league teams, well several of the big
league teams on their way east
All of the above I understand was for the
valuable advertising that our city and the val
ley at large would receive through coast league
papers on their sporting sections at least
The Seattle club has been in our city some
ten days and the Oakland club in Brawley this
week l have scanned the Los Angeles papers
daily to see what publicity was being given the
Seattle club and its players under the head
ing of FL Centre and have yet to see an article
concerning same, with one exception. Under
a small sports note where two players giving
their names had been signed and were training
with Seattle at Ell Centre.
Are their no local correspondents for the Los
Angeles papers in our midst or isn't there some
publicity department of the Seattle team where
news of the teams training from day to day
should be sent to the Los Angeles papers.
offer as a friendly suggestion as long as
our good Councilman Eyer, who is the father
of our baseball park and an ardent fan and
sport should take it upon himself together
with the writing ability of our Chamber of Com
merce Secretary Bob Hays to appoint them
selves a committee of two to see that news arti-
ces from day to day be sent the Los Angeles
papers so that we may obtain the publicity our
city should have for this civic Improvement
as well as this financial investment.
I also understand from heresay at practice
that the Seattle boys don't think El Centro is
very much back of the team. at least compar
able with the enthusiasm of the Brawley fans
who are whooping it up in Brawley for the Oak
land team

"The greatest era this world has ever

the same distinction Henry Ford has
made between legitimate industrial lead

business leaders, and those others VINO

News Behind
the News
By RODNEY DUTCUER

WASHINGTON Business mer
may still believe It's too good to
be true, but they have persuaded
the President that he ought not
40 do or say anything which
might cause him to be accused OF
rocking the boat.
For a while. at least, Roosevelt
plans to sit inact!vely in the mid
dle-and quietly, too except for
frequent optomistic and insplra-
t:onal assurances designed to i'm
prove business psychology
The President is tired and he Is
especially tired because so much
of the New Deal recovery has been
lost so rapidly. Although various
plans for another resuscitation are
in abeyance, he clings to the hope
that business will recover under
its own steam.
For some time it has been OBJ
served by visitors that f. r. d
doesn't seek to monopoli6e colt
Icrsations as he once did.
And lately they have reported
that he greets proposals looking
to reform, even of the mildest ma
ture, with the objection that they
might cause him to be accused Of
disturbing business"
The little business mems con-
ference, from which Roosevelt eX-
pected at least some sympathy
and constructive support appears
to have saddened him and led him
to pay more heed to business pro-
tests. He has not swung from the
New Dealer reform group into the
arms OF the Richburg "co-opera-
tors since no program for letting
business organize to police itself
is yet in the cards.
But he has sought ground be-
tween. 1t looks now as if business
might get practically all of the
tax revision it has asked for.
Although it's reported that
wages and hours are White
House must" measure, some OF
the best friends of wage-hour leg
islation have given up hoping thai
Roosevelt will really fight for il
again this session.
The opposition apparently viii

doubtful that the President viii

legislation, or even an mvestiga.
ton of that problem.
No new important legislation
will be proposed unless depression
exigencies eventually demand it
Attacks on business" as tn,
speeches of General Robert Jack
son were quantity termed, have
ceased.
Nevertheless. Roosevelt still
yearns for further social-economi'
reform. Delegates of the Con.
SumerS National Federation, whit
met with him for han an hour
gathered that impression despite
the fact that the President wa
