Kicking fhe Gong Around
 Is Big Thing
Business Clients Are Given Run- around in New York
 Declared 10 Pay, Too
Fly GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Nov. 29 - This IS a great town for going out with your business clients and kicking the gong around. Give the boys a good time, and you'll get divi- dends on your investment.
 Perhaps this is true. It must be. or else a lot of people I know wouldn't keep on doing 1t.
 For example:
 One of my friends is real estate agent, pretty big one. Three or four times a year he gathers in a dozen or 20 of his clients and brings them to New York. He takes them to football games at box seat prices, $66O each. Before the game, of course, there are lunch and drinks, plus cab fares all over Man haitian.
 After the game the party retires to a hotel where a large suite has been reserved for freshening up and drinks. After about two hours they pile into cabs and go to a night club. They arrive at 7:30 and remain until 2 am, during which time a dozen or so uninvited guests join the party for few drinks CT so. The day, altogether, costs about $6O0
 The man who throws these par ties is a successful business man. He makes money. .. Spend- ing it this way must pay dividends, but I wonder whether he wouldn't make money in any case.
 Favorite periods for such wooing of clients are during the big shows the automobile show, the flower show, the power show, etc. Hun dreds of thousands of dollars are spent on entertainment and the bill levied against promotion and advertising"
 I know a man who works for a ball bearing company. Air planes. automobiles, printing press es can't get along without ball bearings. This man has sp unlimited expense account. He is supposed to invite a lot of people into the city This means hotel reservations. plus theatels, plus everything in the form of enter tainment that New York has to offer. The bill is staggering To me, I mean, it is stagger- ing But this fellow does it three or four times year, and his company is in the money. They say it is sound business.
 At the last power show there was one party of F men. Some of them arrived by train. .. Two flew from the Middle Vest In ad- vance, 12 sets of tickets were re- served for three of the leading musicak shows on Broadway Tickets to a musical show cost SAC each. Reservations in several night clubs had been made. You cannot begin to entertain d man in night club for less than S10. !. There were reservations at hotels It cost small fortune 10 finance this party but after itl was over my friend expressed him. self as well pleased with the way things had worked out These men represented business connections. He was insulating them from his competitors and reported that the four or five days of painting the town red would leave him sitting pretty for months to come.
 I believe him. But I still do not understand why

WHO E HARM0N'5
 SUB AT FOOTBALL!

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 29. - Here's footballs safest bet! Ask a grid fan to name All-America Tom Harmons substitute at half back on the University of Michigan team. The unsung young man is Clifford Wise and his efforts are so obscured that 99 out of 100 fans don't even know his identity.

INDICTED YOUTH
 SLASHES WRIST
Former Cheshire RefOrma= tory Trusty to Face
 Murder Charge

Taking advantage of a momentary slackening of a 24-hour guard, John Saitkowsky, "A of Pawtucket, R. l., recently indicted for first degree murded, made an attempt on his life by slashing his wrist with a razor blade at the New Haven county jail Saturday.
 He was discovered by guard be- fore he lost much blood, however, and was rushed to the New Haven hospital for treatment. Later he was returned to the jail.
 High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin saild jail authorities had antiipated such a move for the past several days and had kept constant guard over the prisoner. The guard on duty at the time, stepped away for a moment to close window and re- turned to find Saitkowski lying bleeding on the floor.
