Criticism Scares
Off Businessmen

WASHINGTON, April 22-UP)-
War Production Chief Donald M.
Nelson said today the government
may have to draft war production
executives because congressional
criticism is making experienced
businessmen reluctant to volunteer
their services.
I'VE may have to have form of
organization that will draft men
for these particular jobs" Nelson
told the serate committee inves-
tigating the war program.
Businessmen find themselves
subjected to a barrage of criticism
when they accept positions in the
war production setup, he charged.
Much of this criticism, he added,
seems to be based solely on the
fact that they are businessmen.

PRESS AGENTS DO NOT
SUPPLY INFORMATION

The American people would not be
one whit less we'll off in the matter of
information if SO per cent of the govern
ment publicity men were fired. The news
papers and the great press associations
hire thousands of trained, accurate, UNI
biased reporters to dig up and present
news, which is another name for current
information. They do their job without
depending on, and often in spite of the
press agents They would continue to
do their Job it there were not a press
agent in Washington.
The task assigned to the press agents
is to attempt to obtain one-sided stories
from the newspapers and the press as
sociations in behalf of their employers,
or to attempt to present situation or
a problem as their employers want it
presented.
The American people pay the bill.
They don't get their moneys worth.
Perhaps the saddest thing about the
press agent mess is that so few results
are achieved by such large group of
men. The government could take the
money it pays to half of its publicity
force spend it for paid advertising, and
get three or four times the space in the
newspapers it gets now through the eff
forts of its press agents. In other words,
the effort to obtain free space is costing
triple what it would cost to buy space.
That is not efficiency.
Of course, the bureaucrats would have
to be more modest in paid space about
telling what a glorious, God-like creature

there's the rub.
Or maybe the press agent vote influ-

GOVERNMENT PUBLICITY
GOES TOO FAR

Press agentry, for years an increasing
~ sore spot IN the government structure
OF America, is fostering to a head.
There are too many highly paid press
agents sending too much drivel free
through the mails to the waste baskets
OF the country's editors. The newspaper
reader and the radio listener do not see
or hear one per cent of the stuff. 1t is
not worth printing, nor putting on the
air
Yet the government continues to en-
ploy enough press agents to populate
several cities the size of Ell Centric
You would be astonished and disguised
If you could read for one week all the
glamorized tripe that comes through the
mail, sans postage, to the news desks
of the country. Half of it is an outright
attempt to glorify the politically APP
pointed head of some federal department
Most of it is undoubtedly aimed at in
fluencing public opinion so that the pub
lie will, in turn, influence congress. Less
than one per cent of it is real newsstand
that portion which is news comes through
the mail from one day to five days after
1t has been carried on the leased wires
of the big press associations.
We see two principal objections to the
growth of press agentry within the gov
ernment-a growth which has seen the
number of publicity men in public
departments tripled in the last six years.
These two objections are entirely aside
from the personal one that the worthless
mail takes up an hour or so of valuable
time each day in practically every news
paper office in the country. They are
% that the salaries paid these govern
totaled, which comes out of the taxpayers
pocket, and 90 that officials of demo-
cratic government should not use the
public money to glorify themselves in
the public eye, instead of spending it to
the advantage of the whole people.
