NEWS
Saturday Symposium

My Dear Mr.. Hearst:
THIS Is just a note 10 let you
4 know how much I enjoy read
Ing your articles "In the News"
There are few Americans II
seems who can put into words as
you do the causes that underlie
all this confusion we have In our
country today.
1t has been brought about I, too,
believe by the broken promises Of
our men In government.
You wrote very ably In your
paper regarding the broken faith
Of our government to the mothers
and fathers Of American boys In
service, and TO the boys them
selves who made a solemn con-
tract for one years service.
i have been made very wei and
very painfully aware Of these cir
cumstances. My son enlisted for
one year Of military training In
September of 1910. He was nine
teen years OF age-Just through
high school.
! had to sign the enlistment
papers because he was under the
draft age.
His mother and I both advised
him IL was the thing to do, as our
President had given us his prom
ise that no American boy would
be sent TO foreign soil.
Now by the actions Of our gov
eminent In Washington, IL seems
that through no fault of ours we
told our son an untruth and ad-
vised him badly.
That we helped to put him In n
position over which IL seems he
has no control, nor have we nor
has any loyal and confiding Amer
lean.
Has this country come 10 the
point when the mothers and faith
ers have nothing TO say about
their sons future and cannot trust
the pledsss~sk-t their government:
Must we live under q tyranny
the same as they do In Russia,
Germany, Italy, and other coun-
tries who have failed to build q
true and permanent democracy
I believe there are thousands of
American fathers who feel the
same as I.
That II our government breaks
faith with the families of this
country, we are on the road to
ruin as far as a democratic gov
eminent il concerned.
I believe i can speak as real
American. My great grand fathers
or my grand fathers fought In
every war this country ever had.
I did my bit In the last world war.
Now IL seems that everything
we have held sacred. everything
the past generations have iabori-
Gus built will be overthrown by
these Indispensable crack pots In
Washington.
Isn't there something true
Americans can do to stop this
chaos:
Yours truly,
STUART +. WHITE.

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
IT GAVE me and my family
] great pleasure TO read your
article Of July End about my uncle
Samuel j. Tilden.
He and his sister brought my
mother up. So am sure she was at
the Gramercy Park house as a
little girl when you went there.
She used to enjoy telling us so
much about those days and also
about the times they had at the
executive mansion In Albany.

VOICES OF PAST
 ON WATR TONIGHT

Tomorraw night marks the debut of an interesting new series of pro- grams over WATR when Voices Of Yesterday" goes on the air at 6:45 The new feature, hailed by critics as one of radios finest programs, will bring the voices of Edison, Mo- Kinley, Bryan, Carnegie. Gladstone, Florence Nightingale. and other no- tables of the past, to the air with the aid of photograph records made years ago and nearly forgotten until recently.
 Voices of Yesterday" brings to mind the words of Thomas Edison, who, when he received the first patent for his photograph in 1878, said, Tt will henceforth be poS- sible to preserve for posterity the voices, as well as the words, of our Washingtons, our Lincolns, and our Gladstones, and for them to be heard by generations yet unborn.
 The old recordings of celebrities, made In the early wax cylinders, have been transferred to modern discs and electrical tranScriptions developed in the NEG studies for broadcasting.
