Sales Built By a Laugh

Death of Howard Heinz in Philadelphia fol
lowing an operation in December, robs a
famous industrial family of a great sales and
advertising leader. Back at the start Of the
century it was he who parodied a bit Of Tom
Moore's poetry which set all New York laugh
ing and consequently sent the sale of Heinz
products skyhigh in the metropolitan area
It happened with announcement that a great
building was to be erected at 23rd street and
Broadway, the most talked about Of all New
York's skyscrapers - the Flatiron building.
Heinz products had long been advertised on
a blank wall above a low building at the
street gore there. No sooner had the news
papers announced the new building project
than there appeared in the huge space so long
filled with Heinz advertisements this approprl-
ate couplet:
You may break, you may shatter, this
wall if you will
But the fame Of Heinz pickles will cling
10 it still.
1t was by such fine strokes that Howard
Heinz rose to sales manager in the house OF
'57 varieties" But his career was not all
to the family's private interests. Dur
ing the first World war he was food admins
traitor for Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and the District of Co
lurnbia, a service he gladly gave and capably
performed. l

INCREASE IN DEBT
LIMIT APPROVED
Action Taken by House After
Rep. D0ughton Asserts
It is Necessary

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1o.-R-An
increase in the federal debt limit
to $65, 900, 600, 900 was approved by
the house today after Chairman
Doughton D-NC) Of the ways
and means committee had de-
scribed it as a necessary defense
measure.
The administration bill, which
now goes to the senate, also would
remove federal tax exemptions
from future issues of United States
government securities and would
give the Treasury greater flexi-
bility in issuing savings bonds.
Republicans sought unsuccess-
fully to. hold the debt limitation
to $50, 900, 900, 600, arguing that Con-
gress could increase it later if
events required. Their proposal
was defeated 148 to los on a teller
vote. The bill finally passed by
a voice vote without amendments.
Several republican members util-
lied the afternoons debate to crit
icize federal spending under the
Roosevelt administration. Repre-
sentative Knutson (R.-Minn,) as
serted that the present government
debt represents expenditure Of $45
for every minute since the dawn
Of the Christian era," and added:
president Roosevelt spends all
the money we give him. If he
hasn't got it, he'll spend it any
way"
Rep. Dewey (R.-Ill.) described
the proposed increase in the debt
limit from the present maximum
OF $40, 900, 900, 900 Astronomical"
1t was both unwise and unneces-
sary, he argued.
Doughton, on the other hand, told
the house:
Both consistency and duty de-
mand that we be as prompt and
willing to implement the Treasury
with the money necessary to dis
charge our national defense obi
cations as we r In creating
them"
The present debt limit actually
is $53, 800, 600, 600, he contended,
noting that it includes old author
ity to issue $500, 600, 900 of short
term securities and to have 81, 000,-
600, 900 of war savings certificates
outstanding.
1.-THE pending BILL" he said,
would replace all of these pro-
visions limiting direct obligations
to the United States by one over
all limitation of $65, 90, 900, 900 to
be outstanding at any one time.
This figure marks an increase of
about $12, 900, 600, 900 over the sum
of the various limitations now an
plicable." /

y Man About Manhattan
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.-There
was a sign in West 18th street
that said Free Lecture Tonight
at 8:30-Everybody Invited"
The sign didn't say what the
lecture was about. Some signs do.
They give you fair warning what
the haranguing is to be about, but
this one didn't. 1t simply stressed
the words free" and Everybody
invited"
Now, it happened that 1 was
passing there just a few minutes
before the $3.50 deadline, and on
the impulse of the moment l stuck
my head through the door.
This vas a mistake. There was
a man about half way down the
aisle and he, shouted good natured-
ly, Come in, brother, and 81.
down. 1t doesn't cost a cent" 1t
was the way he said it that dis
turbed me. He might just as well
have said, There's one; grab him
before he gets away"
I suppose there were about So
people in the hall, mostly men.
They wer there because it was
cold outside, and it was warm in
side and they could sit. down for
awhile without anybody bothering
them. The only penalty they had
to pay vas listening to somebody
talk. They didn't seem to mind
that.
Presently the speaker ambled
onto the stage and began giving
away advice. He was in love with
vegetables. He ratified off a long
paean in praise of beets, turnips
and %squashes, Then he warned
against meats.
Anybody who eats meat is
eating a CORPSE" he cried, Pos

These same officials here say
that the Americas, south of the

because so many of their citizens

sibly he didn't consider it neces-
sary to credit George Bernard
Shaw with this observation. Shaw
said this Is years ago and has
been repeating it off and on ever
since. But never with the inten-
sity of purple passion that this
fellow used. I say purple" with

without altogether wrecking ones

and corn - these were the true

guaranteed longevity and built
bone and sinew. They were what
caused the red corpuscles to leap
like trout through a mans veins.
It was at this moment that the
meeting-for me-broke UP. From
the rear of the hall came a dark,

Churchill's Brave Speech

For the most part Winston ChurchilTs dec
%laration, during this Sunday broadcast, that
Britain will not need American soldiers, this
year, nor next year nor any year that I can
foresee," is accepted at face value.
Senator Wheeler refuses to believe the Brit
ish prime minister, to be sure, but that was
to be expected. Other senators and govern
ment officials unite in saying with him that
it is Americas industrial production, not man
power, that will best assure victory over the
dictators.
And with the Churchill statement to back
them up, administration leaders feel confident
that the lease-lend bill will be approved by
the senate, and SO complete the legislation
which will enable the United States to do its
part in overthrowing the evil force which So
long has been a menace to all civilization.
Churchilrs emphasis on Britain's accom-
plishment in Africa and her prepare ion for
any move Adolf Hitler may make in the fu-
ture, whether directly against England-where
he says the final showdown must come-or in
the dropping spirits of loyal people in con-
quered countries and of all people in SOUTH
eastern Europe.
Hours after he had said that Nazi forces
had probably already penetrated Bulgaria, a
dispatch from that country declared no Ger.
man soldiers had crossed its frontier and that
it had an lace in the hole'' in Russia's support
Of its refusal to take Town the bars. Whether
this is true or not, it at least indicates that
Churchilrs message had not gone unheeded.
And if it was heard and welcomed in that
troubled state, it could not have been I'm.
noticed in other countries now threatened
with ABSORPTION by the Axis.
AS usual, Mr.. Churchill chose an opportune
time to speak. There has been of late a
growing disposition to fear that Britain's re-
~sistance and morale might crack. The Lind

Laval Still Out

- The situation in Vichy is still quiet but tense.
Appointment Of Admiral Darlan in the num-
Der two post, succeeding Pierre Etienne Elan
din, is accepted in some circles as indicating
q further concession to the Nazis by Chief of
State Petain in an effort to placate the con-
querors without surrendering the last vestige
of French self-respect.
But it is a significant fact that Laval, Ger
many's chief agent among the French, is
still in Paris and not a member of Petain's
cabinet In explanation it is pointed out that
the Germans could deal with Darlan as we'll
as with Laval, and, says an Associated Press
dispatch, 'the Germans felt their position
would suffer if Laval were thrust into the
government against the wishes of Petain and
the French people,"
That may be the true situation, or it may
be that Hitler, who has an able stooge in
Laval and wants him in command at Vichy
when the time comes for a showdown with
Britain, is willing to tenporize a little longer
in the hope that he may put Laval into power
az a %last-ninute coup when he launches his
long anticipated spring offensive. Any at
tempt to give a reason for Lavars continued
stay in Paris would be pure speculation. But
It may be said that, instead of strengthening
Hitler's ultimate position, the present situation
favors the British.
There can be no doubt that Hitler is re-
luctant to do anything to force TIE French
back into the war on the side of Britain, and
that an overt act against the Petain regime
lust now would tend to produce that result.
Weygand in Africa, with a strong military
force under his command, really holds the
balance of power in southeastern Europe. He
could strike a heavy blow against the die
tators and is firmly determined to yield no
inch to them. one Nazi misstep now I'M
ouestionably would find him again at war
against the Axis. Hitler knows this, and Is

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-No laboratory re-

intensity than that with which Washington

mad, about anti-American material,

act as fronts" for Nazis and Fascists.
