Marketing Research
Valuable Sales Tool,
ID. {. Ad Club Is Told

Marketing research to determine
public reaction has proved a val
liable tool in advertising, Elmo
Roper, public opinion analyst, yes
terday told the Advertising Club
luncheon at the Statler Hotel.
Citing research he conducted for
the meat industry, New York saw
ings banks and big credit business
Mr.. Roper said the facts disclosed
by polling the public had led to
valuable new approaches in adver-
tiSing.
Proved in Meats.
In the case of meats the research
showed that the public could be
educated to the general unknown
facts that meat was rich in both
vitaminS and protein and that some
popular beliefs were erroneous-for
instance that meat is "indigestible. y
Savings banks of New York State,
which changed their advertising to
make 1t more personal, and to en-
phasize the desirability of saving
regularly for a specific purpose,
principally a home, had benefited
by big increase in deposits, Mr..
Roper said. The increase was at
tributed to advertising based on
studies of public opinion about say
ings banks.
In analyzing persons as credit
risks research found among other
things, he said, that people who kept
their houses freshly painted were
much better credit risks than those
who did not.
Must Be Intelligent.
Turning to the future possibilities
of marketing research and public
opinion research, Mr.. Roper said il
would be well to use them in at
tempting to find out where ano
what the areas of Ignorance" are
among the American people.
IF in a democracy the people
are to elect their own representa-
tive and rule themselves, they must
have a constantly increasing in

should be so geared that it will cor
rect these areas of ignorance, ano

Final Senate Action Due
Thursday on Hospital Bill

The Tydings-Bilbo measure to
authorize Federal aid in the postwar
construction of a 1,500-bed hospital
center here now is scheduled for
final Senate action Thursday. The
bill, passed recently by the Senate,
is being held up there by a motion
for reconsideration by Senator
Ellender, Democrat, Louisiana.
1t had been planned to take up
the Ellender motion yesterday but
this was delayed by debate over the
confirmation of Robert E. Hannegan
to be Postmaster General.
Before the Senate recessed until
Thursday, it adopted a motion by
Acting Majority Leader Hill to make
the hospital question the pending
business. Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee, said
Senators Tydings, Ellender and him
self had agreed to conclude debate
within 80 minutes. When Senator
White, Republican, Maine, minority
leader, objected to adoption of q
limitation on time, however, the
Hill motion was accepted.

the library estimates. Capital out
lay items include $4,000 for pur-
chase of sites for a Woodbridge
branch and another near Georgia

In addition, $4,000 is requested
for drafting. plans for five new

Congressional RECORD
Attacked, Defended
AT Joint Hearing
BY DON S. WARREN.

Representative Mundt, Republic
can, of South Dakota today came
to the defense of the sometimes
laughed at" Congressional Record,
asserting it really is mot as bad as
it is painted" but he suggested
several improvements.
Testifying before the joint con-
pressional committee studying
means of undermining the methods
of Congress, he proposed that an
index and a digest of its voluminous
contents be added to the Record
to save time and eyestrain.
But as he was talking about such
"inclusions" for the Record, Sena-
tor White. Republican, of Maine
brought up the possibility of lex
Guiding" some of the material that
now gets into the appendix of the
Record.
Should Consider Size"
II think we should consider the
size Of the volume" said the Maine
Senator, IF we are going to consider
inclusions. We have gotten far
away from the original purpose of
the Record, of merely reporting
what was said and done on the
floors Of the House and Senate"
Representative Monroney, Demo-
craft of Oklahoma mentioned here
the bum poetry" authored by some
constituent that a member of Con-
gress puts into the appendix, and
others commented on letters, edi-
torials and other outside" material.
Mr.. Mundt agreed there was room
for criticism, but he said he would
oppose any suggestion that Congress
set up group to censor" what goes
into the Record. He declared it
should remain "a completely free
and unfettered press" and that what
goes In should be left to the CON
science and good judgment" of the
Representative or Senator.
Trash to One, Gem to Another.
What looks like trash to one
reader will appear as a literary gem
to another" he commented.
Representative Michener, Repub-
lican, of Michigan commented that
rules now limit to 1000 words, what
may be allowed to go into the Rec
ord, except by unanimous consent.
Mr.. Mundt, resuming his pro-
posals, suggested that the names of
the members of Congress, whose
speeches are recorded in the Record,
be printed in bold face type, SO they
could be found easier. The Record,
he explained, is the only advance
man" a member has out of WASH
ington.
Also he suggested that the Record
be put on sale in the hotel news and
magazine stands and that some pub
lie notice or sign be given that it
IS on sale in Statuary Hall at the
Capitol.
When he declared there are people
who read the Record from cover
to cover" Mr.. Kitchener asked what
else do they do?"
Chairman La Toilette announced
the committee would hold another
hearing at 10 am. Friday.
