Hopkins cannot remain forever at

The truth is. Hopkins was al
ways on different footing from
the other New Dealers. Where
the group chiefly functioned as
hot-bed of ideas and policies,
Hopkins himself was content that
his relationship to the president
should be primarily personal

BY LOUIS NJ. SCHNEIDER

NEW YORK - Business execu-
tives are greatly disturbed by the
statement of Secretary of the
Navy Frank Knox to the New
England conference late this week
that we are headed for perilous
times over the next five or six
years.
Questions being .sked are: viii
the coming "endu. ance test" he
t,e country's .ntry into the war;
Will the government take control
of business Will axes be lifted
so high as to kill the profit motive
in business?
Bankers and securities interest
don't know how to answer. It's
feared the Knox statement dis
closes the possibilities of not only
war but the eliminstion of private
profits as well during the war
period.
BETTER - The federal reserve
boards revised index OF industrial
production rose to 127 for the
month of October. II compares
with 125 for September and 12l
for October, 1899. Economists are
OF the opinion that November's in
dustrial production index figure
will show up at 1870.
Prediction-Joseph b. Eastman,
chairman OF the interstate COM
merce commission, let the cat out
OF the bag in a statement that the
government will eventually find 1t
necessary to create a permanent
agency to provide leadership" and
coordination in solving the nations
transportation problems.
Says Mr.. Eastman: while we
leave the management OF carriers
to private enterprise. only the gov
eminent is in a position to supply

AS to the matter of interest rates, the main points
to remember here are, first, that the rate has to
be written into your policy when you take it out
and may be in effect for 50 years, in periods of
high interest and low interest. Second, under the
law the companies must charge the same rate of
interest for small and large loans-whether the
amount borrowed is S. or $4,000.
Most of the loans are small ones and lending
institutions are accustomed to charge a much
higher rate on small loans than on large ones.
Your life insurance company simply tries to
strike an average which, over the years, is fair to
borrowing and non borrowing policyholders alike.

Auto Workers Pledge
Support 10 Roosevelt
For Third Term
Opponents Declare
Action Is Direct
Slap at Lewis
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5.-The United
Automobile Workers of America,
second largest union in the c. I. O.,
today threw its support behind a
third term for President Roosevelt.
Delegates to the international
unions annual convention adopted
a resolution giving ''unSwerving sup
port and allegiance to the cause of
the New Deal and for the election Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt"
Although a stormy debate pre-
ceded adoption of the resolution, it
was approved by a 507-to-40 vote.
Roosevelts Record Praised.
The resolution declared social
and economic security had increased
under President Roosavelt's admin
istration and the American people
had faith and confidence in it, Mr.
Roocevelt's outstanding qualities" !"
it continued have placed other
contesting candidates in virtual dis
card"
Opponents asserted the resolu-
ton was a slap at John l., Lewis, G.
! o. president, who has expressed
opposition to third term. They
also contended the measure would
weaken attempts to gain concessions
from political party in exchange
for G. I. o. backing.
Mr.. Lewis told the Townsend IA
tional convention fere recently that
Mr.. Roosevelt would be "ignomin-
iously defeated" by Wendell l..
Willkie, the Republican nominee,
Lewis Raps Both Parties.
Addressing the U. A. w. delegates
last week. the G. I. o. chieftain
skipped any mention of the coming
presidential campaign but raped
both major political parties for
failure" to face the problems of
unemployment and inadequate in
come for millions of Americans He
added that some day the people
of this country are going to lose
confidence IN the existing political
parties" and form their own
party"
Frank Frankensteen of Detroit,
member of tie International EXecu-
tive Board, told the delegates prior
to adoption of the third-term reso-
luton that IF Lewis had wanted
us not to go on record for Franklin
D. Roosevelt, he certainly would not
have hesitated to have so stated"
