Business bigwigs and govern ment officials seeks the advice of John T. Flynn. outstanding writer in the broad field of government economics and private business. whose articles appear in the Water bury Democrat. And with good rea- son: It was Flynn whose descrip- tions of holding companies, specu- lation and corporate abuses prior to the crash of 1929 presaged much of what followed and he has been calling the turn on economic developments ever since.
 Flynn began his career as 8 newspaper man. Following gradua- tion from Georgetown University, he did some free-lance newspaper writing then joined the staff of the New Haven Register and be- came city editor. He was also man. aging editor on the New York Globe until consolidation with the Sun in 1923. Since then he was de- voted his entire time to following business affairs, industrial and fi- nancial, and the economic problems of the government not as a business man, but as an economist and journalist.
 Flynn has written a number of books. His first Investment Trusts Gone Wrong" published in 1930, brought an investigation by the ate torney generals office in New York into the practices of this type of business.
