White House secret ever to tobe tobe tobe be fully proved but President Roosevelt appears to have been working with a a. brand new confidential confidential adviser lately The new new newcomer ow- ow comer corner is supposed to be a master of radio broadcasting technique schooled in radio news and re religious re- re To him 4 the closest of ot insiders attribute a slightly different style tono exhibited in the Baltimore Baltimore Balti Balti- more and New York speeches The world outside will vill recognize recognize recognize nize the new man only as Dr Stanley High founder of ot this weeks week's Good Neighbor league Ho has had a desk in Democratic national committee headquarters here apparently to help in the coming campaign along the lines for which his experience has best fitted him and he has seldom been seen around the White House But in addition on the side heIs ho he hoIs hoIs Is supposed to have havo contributed editorial assistance in preparation of ot f tho the last two speech broadcasts The youth movement material used in Baltimore and tho the economic economic eco ceo wage hour argument in NeW York apparently did not como come from him but he helped on the delivery style Note Noto Vho's Who Vho lists Stanley Stan Stan- Icy ley Hoflund High as an editor 41 years old and recites his war aviation record his connections with the Methodist mission to China 1919 his career as European European Euro Euro- correspondent for or the tho Christian Christian Christian Chris Chris- tian Science Monitor current events broadcaster for the Christian Christian Christian

trade his NBC position was re regarded regarded regarded re- re as that of peacekeeper among various religious factions His broadcasts were not what the trade would call commercial his his' sponsors being church Those who recall his radio style say it wa was rapid fire ire and ands s scholarly Dissatisfaction Mr r. r Roosevelt's excellent political political political cal advisers the nominal ones may bo giving Dr High moro more credit than ho he deserves but they are arc unmistakably nettled about his position Frankly they be believe believe believe be- be lieve his connection with the campaign campaign campaign cam cam- in both his official and Unofficial unofficial unofficial un un- official capacities is a mistake for several technical reasons Tho rho reaction to the Baltimore speech was not what the Democratic Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic publicity experts would call popular The Tho hush in congress afterward was devastating There was nothing particularly wrong about the economics used by the president in New York but economics is not an exact science It is an argument Tho The mistake was that the president got into it at all aH At least this Is the way the tho experienced politicos at the top of the Democratic campaign feel about It U. t. t Their influence may bring a shift in the inside lineup even before this reaches your e eye e Planning Mr Roosevelt's politicos would like to make him refrain from saying anything even even such mild things as l li he said aid in New York They are nearly all convinced now that the tax program was an addi additional error committed in haste Tho The corporate earnings distribution distribution distribution tion scheme will vill just not work out satisfactorily the way it w scon- scon by the treasury or evenin evenin even evenin in the milder form torm of the present house bill Consequently Consequent the impression is widespread on the the inside that every time Mr Roosevelt has spoken lately he has failed ailed to help himself The boys believe that if he had not said anything tho the cur cur- rent odds on his election would be more than 6 to 5 It would not be surprising if it you ou hear shortly that the June campaign campaign campaign cam cam- trip Into the west is being canceled or curt curtailed He was scheduled to go Into Kentucky Indiana Arkansas and Texas but hut you will not i see ee that schedule carried out fully at any rate Note Note Note-An An Inkling of a change was conveyed to Governor McNutt on his White House visit The president told McNutt the June 6 date at Vincennes might have havo to tobe tobe tobe be postponed until Juno 14 or orear ear early In Jul July Congress will furnish the reason Expense o Father Coughlin's 26 political broadcasts last year ear cost him according to the top radio trade magazine Broadcast Broadcast- ing The costs included wires transmission etc The nonpolitical cal Technical Journal says Father Coughlin has apparently no Intention in intention In- In of resuming his broadcasts broadcasts broadcasts broad broad- casts until next October and therefore assumes he will not participate participate participate par par- in the presidential campaign campaign cam cam- until the last moment His broadcasting costs are arc apparently becoming onerous 0 f Profit Secretary has announced announced an an- flounced that proof coins o
