Author Farrell Warn,
OF Robot Culture in
Many Best Sellers

Some books of the best-selIer
variety tend TO create q robot con.
sumer, a robot writer and even J
counterfeit culture, James T, Far
rell, one Of Americas foremost
writer's, said last night.
He painted a dark picture of the
future Of literature unless writers
are permitted to regain the value
Of words without conventional
restrictions. His lecture, In the
Universal Memorial Church, dwelt
upon the Artist In Relation To
His Society"
TermiI1g much of today's writing
q contribution to counterfeit cul-
ture, Mr.. Farrell described literature
as a kind of exploration of the
nature OF experience"
ut tells us how some human be-
tngs have lived well or badly" he
said. emphasizing that much cur
rent writing does not portray a
true picture of how life Is really
lived as we know it from our daily
experience"
He said readers are very demand
ing about books but they should also
be very demanding on themselves
for this type of literature is a con-
-tribution towards keeping people
immature, Furthermore, he added.
1t is making the artist immature and
producing immaturity in the art
itself.
Mr.. Farrell said there is great
deal of money to be made out of false
and conventional writing and asked
his audience: Does one read for
consolation or for the experience of
being led to discover something
about ones self?"
"It does not mean muck to talk
of the responsibility of the writer -
he contended. "You cannot achieve
1t unless you terrorize him, corrupt
him. or throw him in JAIL"
Mr.. Farrell declared that many
intelligent writers today are becom-
ing 'employes" and tend to develop
q so-called popular culture which
"has the stamp of employees"
The creation of this counterfeit
art" he added, must be taken into
account when evaluating the cul-
tural situation of our times. He
asserted that the motion picture
industry code demands that the
good triumph over evil" and In any
picture which contains "a sin" the
sinner is usually killed, in accord
arce with social dictates.
In speaking of the nonoffensive
stories dramatized over the radio,
Mr.. Farrell declared "t1e customer
Is always right-the radio soap opera
must not offend-it sells soap"
He then offered this grim opin-
ion: The degradation of words
means the degradation of literature.
The degradation of literature means
the degradation of men. If these
iobot tendencies continue, we will
have a haunted society"

BERLIN MARRIAGES STRICTLY ON NEW

BERLIN-Marriage is strictly a business proposition for those Ber- liners who believe in advertising
 Love to the Germans who ad- vertise every day in the Berlin press is something one reads about in books. In these hard times it evidently does not mean a thing compared to such important mat ters as a good business, home and an income.
 The male of the Berlin species makes no bones of the fact that he seeks a female who has either her own business or a good job.
 Barber, widower with 10-year- old son, seeks acquaintance of nice colleague with intention of marry ing into her shop advertises one male
 A master craftsman who de- scribes himself modestly as hand some" advises he'd be willing to marry into an auto repair shop or transport works"
 A businessman who boasts he is mot only handsome and versatile but also has a truck and money" tells all corners he wants a nice woman who has store and exists on a proper solid basis
 Seemingly only the artists wor- ry about such minor matters as the color of their intendeds eyes.
 Looking for young, dark-haired woman with blue eyes," implores a painter in his middle thirties. Not true Bohemian, he adds thought fully she should have a home or property"
 One dark-haired 28-year-old girl is looking for a wounded war vet eran who likes music and has an irreproachable character"
 Most women, though, cannot for get the hard realities Of present. day Berlin life. One widow offers marriage into my blacksmith's shop" the "only daughter of a home owner" advises she has an old firm in Lower Bavaria and of fers marriage into this watchmak- CTS shop; and one enterprising aunt advertises that her 36-year- old niece seeks a tailor who would like to marry into her tailor's shop.
 Among single days crop of Would-be marriage seekers, the op- timism prize went to 62-year-old gentleman. He said he wanted a marriage with love"
