II is somewhat of a chore to
take forgotten man and make
him live again in all his power
and vigor in the pages of a
book, but Reva Scott has done it
in Samuel Brannan and the
Golden Fleece" (Macmillan).
Mrs. Scott, of course, had half
the ball game won before she
ever started to tell the story of
the once wealthiest man in CAL
ifornia who died a friendless
pauper. For Sam Brannan's is
a story of highlights and contra
dictions, a tale of great power
an dwasted talents. 1t is the
stuff of which great fiction is
made, but if it were not fact, it
would be incredible.
Sam Brannan had many of
the elements of greatness. He
was a born leader of men and
he was a smart, if uneducated,
man. AS he approached the peak
of his power, three things
dragged him back and broke
him. They were, in order, greed,
whisky and women. The first
was the greatest contributor to
his downfall, for it cost him
his religion. The others lost
him his family and, bit by bit,
his vast industrial empire, and
all three brought him to poverty
and death.
Sam Brannan was young
man when he fell under the
spell of the great Mormon lead
err, Joseph Smith, AS convert,
his personality and breeding
marked him as one who would
90 far in the service Of the Nor
mons, then undergoing their
greatest prosecutions. AS an eld-
er, Brannan led boatload of
Saints TO sanctuary in Californ-
ia, settling at Yerba Buena, lat
er to become San Francisco. But
Joseph Smith had been killed
and Brannan split with Brigham
Young over church funds.
For Sam by now had felt the
lure of gold. He was at Capt.
Johann Suffers fort when gold
was discovered, and he cashed
in on the discovery. AS store
keeper to the miners, he built
UP his vast fortune that gave
him an estimated income of ST.
600 a day and made him mill
lionaire. He had his finger in
the first railroad west of the
Rockies, became the greatest
real estate operator in the state,
was a banker, landlord, ship
owner, trader. San Francisco
doomed because Of his foresight
and faith and he played big
part in the building of Sacra-
mento. He was a leader in all
civic matters and when busi-
ncssmen wanted man who was
forceful and forward looking to
head their enterprises, they call
ed on Sam Brannan.
There was too much money
and power for Sam Brannan 70
handle eventually. Part of II
went To entertainment - wom-
en-, food and liquor--when trou-
bic at home caused by his en-
pire building and dissipation al
ienated his family. Sam was q
rough spoken, hell-raiSing man
and he didn't cotton TO his wife s
social ambitions. She, his fam
lily, and his fortune all were
gone. when Sam died in his 10th
year near San Diego. And a.
Mrs. Scott tells II, it is a full
story OF a full life. Today all
that remains OF Brannan's ap.
proach TO greatness is an ob,

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

the Office of War Information
rises up politely to protest that
reports on the D-Day death OF
his organization as then given by
this writer, are not only prema-
ture but also exaggerated and
untrue.
There will be those who do
not like Owl nor any of its
works who may regret that the
demise is not an accomplished
fact and who will mourn that il
Domestic Owl is not actually
dead it should be killed and the
sooner the better. Nevertheless,
since Mr.. Healy asserts that his
staff is doing a terrific job and
that it is not necessary to apol-
ogize to anyone for the quality OF
the work, it is only fair to give
him a hearing.
This, then, is Mr.. Healy's
account of some of the things
that his organization had done
and was doing on D-Day and
will do next year in justification
of its annual appropriation of
approximately $2,500,00O, COW
ering a payroll of 81, 100000 for
500 employees plus 100000 for
expenses. Healy says the best
evidence of justification for the
Domestic Branch of Owl is the
fact that the Congressional APP
preparations Committee was
convinced of the need for con-
tinuing its work.
HALF THE JOB
LOOKS NECESSARY
DOWI, or Domestic Owl to
distinguish it from OOWI or
Overseas Owl, has four main
jobs. Getting out the war
news to the American people. 2.
Eliminating confusion by coor.
dination of information from
government war agencies. 3.
Clearing statements and speech
es from officials. 4. EnliSting
public support of % campaigns
to save paper, save fats, prevent
careless talk, join the WACS,
plant a Victory Garden and so
forth.
Jobs two and three would be
considered essential for any
body's money, to stop all the
conflicting statements tn t
make up -Washington's normal
confusion.
You can give them an argu-
ment on jobs one and four,
however, on the grounds that it
is unnecessary to have this gov
eminent agency do those things
because they are already being
done anyway by other govern
ment agencies and private en-
terprise. Newspapers, maya
zines, radio, movies, advertisers
in all media are eager to do
those things voluntarily and the
job of coordinating and clear
ing should not require the serv-
ices of an organization of 500
people.
so SORRY OLD BOY
If, therefore, the job could be
done on a less pretentious scale
or if unnecessary, any prema-
ture report on the moribundity
of DOWI is to be sincerely re-
GREETED and can only be hoped
for and greeted with cheers
when it does come true.
Getting at what DOWI actu-
ally did no D-Day, Healy points
with pride to these achieve
ments:
Arranging for addit o
communications facilities in the
way of radio channels for use in
handling press copy on the in
vasion.
Arranging for uniform sys-
tenn of censorship to prevent de-
days of U. S. press copy in Lon
don.
Working with Army and
Navy information services to
get their cooperation in releas-
ing news instead of blasting at
them and trying to force it out
of them.
Healy has all kinds of con-
gratulatory kilograms and let
tiers to prove what a good job
his organization has done.
