Meet the Publicist

Henry Paynter may not have enjoyed his appearance at the Mead Committee investigation of wartime munitions combine suspected of proteerng and of Rep Andrew May connection with the Nevertheless, We think Mr. Paynter should console himself with the thought that his ap pearance public service in that shed little light on his important powerful but generally unpubclzed proes sion of publieizng.
 News stories identify Mr Paynter variously as pub- ety agent and pubiest. Perhaps he would prefer, as many do the title of publicity counsel better public has become indispensable part of American life
 Pubicists Gas we shall call them for brev1ty sake1 operate many levels
 The big-time pubieis dispenses information, suggests policy, molds public opinion and occasionally does some lobbying He writes the clients speeches and his signed magazine articles Sometimes he performs the untfadtona function of keeping the clients of the papers, At his best he is ethical intelligent informed and valuable source of information.
 He may be asked to pubcize starets figure or exking's democratic disposition and good intentions Or he may be asked present entire industrys viewpoint to the public But the prudent individual concern hires pubcst Chinese hires doctor-to keep him healthy not cure him of illness.
 To publicists account is simply business ar rangement But to others including of the best ones clients partakes of the nature of crusade MT. Payners relations with the Carson interests to fall in the latter category
 MT Paynter told the committee that he had been hired by the Garssons attorney after he had thought all for two days and two nights His acquaintance with both principals and issues must have been brief But be it said to his credit that ones defended her cubs with fierce than r Paynter showed in his brush with the Investigating senator's.
 He referred to the Mead Gestapo gang He said the committee had maiciousy suppressed the truth and was holding star chamber sessions. He announced that he would freeze in he before he would betray confidence
 What mpresses us than anything, however, IS that Mr. Paynter could think the whole thing through in two days and nights That he had to follow the tortuous of Carson transactions whereby the Illinois Wachcase Co., Erie Basin Metal Products Inc Cumberland Lumber Co.,, United States Wind Engine and Pump Co.,. Ba tava Metal Products Co., lnc U S. Challenge Co., National Machinery Works Interstate Machinery Co., Pershng Engi Co., and others sold and resod chrstened and rechristened, shuffed and reshufed in sembng the old shell game.
 But MT. Payner in AS hours only figured the thing out but arrived the conclusion that they Brook lyn, i've robbed' That's really impressive emer- gency operaton--wheher 1t the patient not.

Political College

WASHINGTON, July l6-(NEAl-The National Citizens Political Action Committee now plans to conduct Schools of Political Action in other parts ot the country, following the success of it's first venture in Washington. First will be similar three day cram-courses in the Mid-West and on the Pa cic Coast Definite locations nave not been agreed on but Chicago and Los Angeles likely possibi- ties
 That's about all the P.AC brain-trusters figure they can handle before the November elections. But after the elections over, they would like to run these courss in many states and principal cities, preparations in organization for the 1948 Presidential campaign.
 The big idea for these schools originated with Lew Frank Jr a young Detroit businessman who also as publicity consultant to FAC. head quarters. Getting out of the Army and OWL he burning up with an idea of wanting to average citizens take greater direct part politics He sold his idea to PA.C and these schools the result.
 Financially, the Washington experiment just about broke even. Five hundred students punked down SIP apiece for the course In addition they had to pay their own hotel bills and $5 for their gradua ton dinner on Saturday night But the $6,00O gross to PA.C. paid on the hotel bathrooms where the classes were held and the expenses of the faculty members
 In addition, at the graduation dinner, Dr. Frank Kingdom, the ex-preacher who admits he's radical, put on one of his moneyrasng acts He talked about how good it would make anyone feel to give $1 GOO P.A.C. He got bite.
 It was from Alexander F Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. He gave this money out Of the BRIT. treasury, and threw in S1OO more out of his pocket Whitney also one of the three principal speakers at the gradua- tion so the cost of hearing himself make speech came rather high,

OPA Propaganda

WAsHINGT0N-WhiIe the Senate was consider ing 0PA legislation there at point, consid- erable debate about propaganda in connection with this most lively issue.
 It precipitated by Senator Taft tR-ohio) who charged that OPA itself had put on the great est propaganda campaign that any government agency has put on.' He claimed it had violated influence Congress and said if the Justice Depart ment was on the job it would indict Chester BoWes and Paul Porter.
 Injected into the debate naturally Gas discussion of propaganda by all sorts of outside organizations including the National Association Of Manufacturers and the CIO.
 Senator Taft suggested some way should be found to prevent corporations from deducting from their income taxes any expenditure for advertising that could not be really claSsed as advertising Now he said corporation advertising if 1t has the fantest touch of institutional advertising, is deductible"
 If what the Senator suggests were done it proba- ply would make 1t more difficult for the NAM. to raise funds for the manifold propaganda actvi- ties carried out by it's so-caned national industrial information committee for which fund of 3 mil lion dollars is being sought for it's work this year For in a little pamphlet explaining its program and soliciting funds the NIIC., which is headed by J. Howard Pew. president of Sun Oil Company says

Views of the Press
POLITICAL COMPROMISE
New York Herald-Tribune)

New York Herald -Tribune)
 There is considerable confusion over the precise effect of the Sen- ate-House compromise extension of Seleetive Service, with it's exemp- ton of eighteen-year- -olds. It is re- ported that there is pool of 52,000 men of nineteen, hitherto deferred for one reason or another, who will be available under the bill. There are also some eighteen-year-olds who have not yet been indueted into the service and who will reach nine teen at the rate of about 1000 a month. beginning in September. It is argued that these men, plus those brought into the service by volun- tary enlistment tSpurred on, 1t is hoped. by the extensive pay in- creases which Congress seems dis posed to grant) will keep the armed forces at the high level which pre- sent commitments demand. But re- cent draft calls-not filled have been at the rate about S5l 900 men a month, and military authorities and the conferees themselves-are said to be very skeptical of the abil ity of the new law to provide the necessary man power.
 The fact is that this compromise was not based on practical consid- eration. For political reasons it sends Selective Service into fields which have already been harvested, because the House has found 1t ex- pedient to draw much sharper line between eighteen and twenty than nature ever intended and has raised that arbitrary distinction to the stature of a moralcrusade. The issue has also been weapon in the hands of those Congressmen who feel that any conscription in peace time is unWarranted. The Senate, on the other hand taking the longer and saner view, has been forced, in order to save Selective Service from complete extinction to relinquish the only promising source of new man power and to rely on the nine teen-year limit to at least narrow the gap, if the system should be ex- tended long enough to make the younger age classes eligible for serv- ice.
 In other words, the conference bill is typical of the Congressional Cor perhaps one should say the House's) approach to American military responsibiltieS. It concen- trates on the unpleasant, unpopular political, features of conscription rather than on the task which con- scription is intended to perform. The Senate deserves credit for q valiant fight, but as for those Rep resentatives who are responsible for the present confusion, one can wish them on worse fate than their con- stituents should see the realities of today's problems and yesterday $ mistakes more clearly than they themselves.

Visas Go A-Begging

In this day of general scarcity, there is American commodity whose supply exceeds the demand. And that oddly enough is the American visa m the hands of dip Iomatc representatives in Britain and Europe.
 There just isn't the expected rush of immigrants. Newspaper stories credited with stemmng the tide. British and Continental papers playing up strikes. housing shortages unemployment high prices and threat ot nfation America, least temporarily has ceased to be the land of promise
 One would think that these drawbacks would be preferable to the misery which reported from many parts of Europe But trip America requires capital and an uprooting Even with money the love of home is strong e though home may be place of cold and hunger and dis comfort
 And perhaps is just as well. America, in hap pier tme has been sad disappointment to many deuded immigrants And certainly offer minimum of lux ury and golden opportunity now.

AMERICAS NEW ATOM PLAN
tNeW York Times ]

In an effort to reconcile the Am eriean and the Russians plans for control of the atomic bomb, Mir Barueh has submitted to the Unit cd Nations Atomic Energy Commis- sion a new proposal which goes far to meet the Russians on matters of form without surrendering the sub- stance of the American offer-the demand for effective inspection and control of all atomic work before the United States Surrenders either the bomb or the knowledge Of how to make it.
 The new American proposal a. grees to two points Of the Russian plan, It agrees to outlaWing atom ic weapons by international treaty and it makes the Security Council the supreme authority in dealing With violations of that treaty. But it also insists on three other points which the Russians have opposed thus far. The first is the necessity of establishing special Interna- tional Atomic Authority to super wise all atomic developments which the Security Council is not equip ped to do, but this Authority would report all violations of the bomb prescription to the Security Coun- cil for action under the United Nations Charter, which in serious cases might include war The sec ond is that the treaty must provide for effective international controls instead of leaving it's enforcement te the various Governments within their own jurisdiction. The third and most important is that the treaty which outlaws atomic Weap- ons must also outlaw the veto pow CT in the Security Council in all matters affected by that treaty.
 The Russian proposal calls upon the United States to destroy it's bombs and to turn over the know how" of their manufacture to all nations, including Russia, first, and to talk about effective controls aft erward. The American proposals insist on talking about effective controls first and on surrendering the bombs and the knowledge of their manufacture afterWard And to meet the objection that any cur tailment of the veto power in the Security Council would require a difficult amendment of the United Nations Charter, it proposes to elim- mate the veto in atomic matters by voluntary treaty agreement without in any way changing the existing veto right in any other sphere.
 As MT. Baruch says, the treaty is to be an instrument for the pro- lection of nations, not shield be- hind which deception and criminal acts can be performed with impun- ity. Such treaty has become the minimum requirement of safety in the atomic age.
