STEEL PUBLICITY"

| wonder:
Why all the glee and sanctimOnious expressions
of sef-righteousness by the La Toilette Civil LIB
critics committee the discovery that steel COM
panies paid several hundred thousands dollars for
propaganda and publicity when the government IT
self is paying out more than 80 times as much IN
taxpayers money, for exactly the same thing!
| wonder:
Why the excitement over the discovery that one
steel firm paid $3.50 600 to public agency, when,
for instance the Federal Housing administration
spent in 1897 alone ST. 100 600 of taxpayers money
for education and publicity"
| wonder:
Why the smear of Writer and Lecturer George
Sokolsky, because he received $4,000 from the
National Association of Manufacturers and the
Iron and Steel Institute, for expressing views he
publicly expressed years ago, when some of the
ablest newspaper men in Washington sold out
themselves and their views for jobs on the public
payroll as New Deal prOpagandists?
What they reap for selling baloney to the public
even when they themselves did not believe in
what they were dishing outs praise and com
mendation.
These writers" are being paid to sell the tax
payer something for which the taxpayer is paying.
The taxpayer supports the governments operation
by taxation. That is citizenship obligation and a
justfable and legitimate one.
As a taxpayer one expects a public servant to
go ahead and do his job efficiently How well ne
does the job will be shown by the results he OBJ
tains But a taxpayer objects to having to pay the
iobholder to hire a propaganda merchant to tell
how well the job is being done
Moreover the taxpayer bitterly resents being
informed he is "too damn dumb" to understand
when he questions some of the legitimacy, authen-
ITCHY and truthfulness of government propaganda
| wonder:
Why, in a democracy, if the government can
operate the greatest propaganda and publicity ma
chine even seen in peacetime United States, prl-
vate industry has not the privilege to propa-
pandize its side of the story?--Boake Carter in

WASHINGTON. The Italians,
" following the lead of German
NaziS, are now declaring that they
are of the Aryan race and that
Jews are not.
But they couldn't get away with
hat in the United States Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court has de-
clared, in effect, that there's no
such animal as an Aryan. That
was in 1923, when lawyers for
Bhagat Singh Thind, high caste
Hindu, contended he was white
person eligible for naturalization
as an American citizen. Bhagat
came from Punjab, in northwest
ern India, it was claimed, and that
meant he was an Aryan.
But the CoIst declared:
The Aryan theory as a racial
basis seems to be diScredited by
most, if not all, modern writer's
on the subject of ethnology."
And it cited a string of authori-
ties.

HOPE TO INCREASE
ROCKET CEILING
BEYOND 5000 FEET

/ PASADENA. Cal. July %
| (UP)-An attempt to break the
present world altitude record for
shooting rockets is to be made in
the near future by John W. Par
sons, explosives chemist, who has
/ done rocket motor research work
at the California Institute OF
Technology. and Edward 5. For
man. rocket engineer.
The present record is 5000 feet
and is held by DIR. K. II. Goddard,
whose rockets have been releas'
ed in New Mexico. The two Pas
adcna workers are convinced they
can exceed this mark.
They have completed their eX-
perimcnts in the Arroyo Seco nv
or bottom near here and now ar"
determined on the style of rocket
to be built and the manner Of eX-
pIoSivc energy to be used.
The rocket being constructed,
and which will probably be shot
, upward within the next two
months, will stand 20 inches high
and will have four fins.
1t is to weigh only between one
and two pounds, with the fuel
weighing four-ffths Of a pound.
This fuel, however, is arranged
in such d manner that during the
course Of the flight there will be
100 discharges at the rate of five
or ten seconds.
The cartridges containing these
charges will be fired by mechan-
ism similar to a machine gun. The
impulse from each discharge will
continue kicking" the rocket
higher and higher into the air.
The smokeless powder to be
used has twice the power of black
powder. The powder also provides
more power than the gas com
monty used.
The rocket will be equipped
with a parachute and analtimeter
which will bring down its rec
ord.

PENNSYLVANIA EXPERIENCE
CAN BE FOUND IN OTHER
STATES

Many workers and their families
are undernourished in Pennsylvania
because of the excess amount OF
liquor consumed by them, according
to a statement made by H. l.. Shank,
an extensive Lancaster Co. (Pa.)
farmer, at the annual meeting of the
New Jersey State Horticultural Soci-
ETY., held in Atlantic City recently.
Mr.. Shank pointed to the whiskey
bill of $1OO,O0O,OOO in Pennsylvania
in 1887, which he said, equaled the
milk bill. He declared that the money
expended for whiskey was taken
largely from the family food budget
of people who are undernourished
as consequence. He said that If
part of the whiskey money of Penn
sylvania were spent for food, the
increased purchase of farm products
resulting would solve the farm prob
lem of that state.
Mr.. Shank also told of his expert
ence with farm hands around Lam
caster. Many of them he found nerv-
Gus, irresponsible, physically weak,
and unable to perform work assign
