director of Plymouth advertising

black and white, as we'll as wide use
of rotogravure are major weapons
in the new campaign now under
way.

any other of the automobile COM
panies,' said Romaine, has reason
to emphasize the value of news
paper advertising in the develop
ment of follow through plans for
merchandising the 1899 models. Last
spring when new car demand was
seriously reduced and many of the
automobile companies reduced their

tent how active Mooney will be-
come again in the labor movement.
Although he suffered stomach
ulcers in prison and is now Sc
years old, the famed former priS-
oner has said he expects to live
25 years more. He went through
the pardon hearings at Sacra-
mento without noticeable fatigue.
Mooney carried on from the par
don hearing to the barbecue cele-
bration later the same day, a mass
meeting in his honor that night
and walked up Market street yes
terday in a parade in his honor.
The parade wound up at the
civic center where labor leaders,
legislators who have been inter-
eSted in the Mooney case, and
Mooney himself spoke.
His speech repeated earlier blasts
at the interests which he has
contended "railroaded' him to pris-
on on a "frameup" in the 1916
Preparedness Day bombing here
which killed 10 persons and in
jured 40.
Reiterating earlier statements
made both before and after his
release, Mooney urged that the
fight made for his freedom be
turned into a new three fold creed
for labor.
He said that first pressure must
be brought to bear to free Warren
K. Billings, convicted with him as
an asserted fellow conSpirator.
Secondly he urged that warning
forces of labor must unite.
The third point he stressed was

operation in his talks with Premier
Benito Mussolini at Rome, it was

Chamberlain has no hope that she

Italy back on the diplomatic fence
where she was before the Ethiopian

Great Britain and France could
afford to make important conces-
Sions to Italy in return for any re-
cession of Mussolini from his close
cooperation with Adolf Hitler. Also
Great Britain could offer MuSso-

In a letter TO an unnamed news
paper publisher, Lingan A. Warren,
head of the SafcWay company, op-
orators of 3l50 food stores along
the Pacific coast recently described
the policy of his company in the
selection of advertising media, and
hit out at free circulation papers.
He said: ut is the belief of Safe
way that no one is benefited by
such opportunism on the part of
promoters of this type and that
through patroni2ing only the eStab-
lished press it is discouraging de-
structive competitive methods in
the newspaper field
Warren put himself on record as
being a Staunch advocate of news
paper advertising. instruction to
divisional managers Of the company
contained in the District Manager
Guide also reveal the company =
sold on newspaper advertising
Warren's advertising policy as
outlined in the letter is, in brief
as follows:
|. That a newspaper of regular
publication performs a public serV-
ice and the advertising revenue sim
ply reduces the price charged sub
scribers, thereby putting it within
the reach of every possible family
2. That when the So-called free
circulation newspaper attempts to
lure the advertiser with a lower
ratc than the regular publication
and the advertiser accepts such bait
it is the beginning of a vicious
circle-first depicting the establish
ed publication, which furnishes
news and features and then bank
ruptcy which deprives the com
munity of a newspaper; encourag
ing the free distribution sheet into
becoming a paid circulation and
newspaper followed by more free
distribution sheets, etc.
3. Free publicity: No stories
should be written or released tC
newspapers with the idea of getting
free publicity.
