"Potentials" A survey conducted by Fortune magazine shows that 45 per cent of the public depend entirely upon newspapers for their daily news. Only 23 12 per cent listen to the radio broadcasting- of news. Twenty-eight per cent read the newspapers for news and also listen to the radio broadcasts. Less than 3 per cent neither read the news nor listen to it. Women and children predominantly form the listening group. More than 60 per cent of the nation's executives read the papers, and 25 per cent read the newspapers and listen to radio news. The most interesting point discovered by the Fortune survey, was that more people who merely listened to the rapid-fire newscasts answered "don't know" to questions as to what is important on congress' immediate docket. They had fewer opinions generally than people who get their news from newspapers alone. This appears to be the definite, emphatic answer to the highly intangible but greatly over-played factor in radio broadcasting, known as "potential audience." When a .national hookup is on the air its "potential audience" audi-ence" in this nation is about 130,000,000 persons. But ac- tually only a small iracnon ot mat numoer win oe listening even to a topnotch program, and a comparatively tiny number num-ber to a program that does not rate high, When this newspaper publishes its circulation figure that figure is not "potential." but actual, and sworn before a notary public as required by the government for the post-office post-office service. Multiplied by four and a fraction the size of the average aver-age American family the newspaper's circulation figure represents the number of persons whose needs and desires unquestionably are attuned to a "newspaper's merchandising columns. "Potential" is a pretty good word, but it simply doesn't mean anything in the merchandising field. Figures speak the facts. . . True Success Story The other day, on Governor's islaircTTri New York harbor, har-bor, the lGth Infantry stood at attention while orders were read which promoted Col. Carl Truesdell, its commander, to the rank of brigadier general. Thirty-six years before, on the same date. General Truesdale won his first-promotioain the army, from private pri-vate to corporal. All this is just a tiny incident in the life of a great nation, but a most important episode in the life of one citizen citi-zen who won slow but sure success in his chosen calling, starting at the bottom. A Horatio Alger story of real life. nri it muni is th;it nnnoW unit luck. 35,000 Count 9Em Lots of people deplore the fact that this is an age of specialization. They regret that we have doctors who won't operate except on the left ear, lawyers who take only bicycle-accident bicycle-accident cases, teachers who spend a lifetime on the ablative abla-tive case. Where are the old-time Jeffersons ajid Franklins, they ask, who could do everything and do it pretty well? Generally speaking, they are gone, lost in the mist of complexity that surrounds modern life. Just as an illustration illustra-tion In the early days of motoring, every man was his own mechanic. He had to be, because there weren't any mechanics mechan-ics who knew cars. But he could be, too. For the early cars were pretty crude and simple. Today's car, it is estimated by manufacturers, manufac-turers, has perhaps 35,000 individual parts in the standard four-door sedan. All the rest of life is like that today. Boy, page us an expert !

Dempey was swept into office on the Roosevelt landslide supposedly supposed-ly as a New Dealer, but actually is millionaire president of the U. S. Asphalt Corp, with an economic econ-omic and, political philospphy about as close t6 Roosevelt's as J. P. Morgan's. f WEAK RECOVERY REED The last man to think the new $1,500,000,000 loans-to-in-dustry act will be a major recovery recov-ery factor is RFC Chairman Jesse Jones who was chiefly responsible respon-sible for the legislation and will administer it. "What business needs," the hefty hef-ty Texan remarked to a friend on the day the bill passed, "is not loans but orders. Any business busi-ness that has collateral that the RFC will accept doesn't have to come to us for money. The banks will be glad to lend it." Jones is well qualified to talk in this vein. Stace 1934 the RFC has had the power to lend up to $300,000,000 to industry on easy terms. But under Jones' tight-fisted, tight-fisted, banker-minded rule only $107,000,000 has been disbursed in the four years. This is a trifle more than $25,000,000 a year, an insignificant drop in the economic bucket. On the other hand, during this period, the RFC has ladled out several billion dollars to railroads, banks and insurance companies. jf. . . I FIGHTS OFF ATTACK Jones was so tight-fisted about helping small business men and distributing money appropriated for flood relief, that after last spring's disastrous floods a, determined de-termined move was made to take the new relief money out of his hands. But he is one of the most effective wirepullers in Washington Washing-ton and the attack got nowhere. Through intimate ties with his fellow-Texan, Jack Garner, and other veteran Democratic leaders, Jones rarely fails to get the legislation leg-islation he desires, and the new loans-to-industry act was another victory for him. Jesse cooked up the measure and had it jammed jam-med through Congress in order to head off a much more sound and comprehensive plan formulated by the Treasury and the Securities and Exchange commission. This proposal would have set up regional government banks to do for industry, particularly small business, what the Joint Stock Land1 banks have done in supplying supply-ing easy credit to agriculture. The president favored this formula form-ula and it had the backing of the Federal Reserve Board. But Jones was hostile. He would not have been boss of the new regional banks. So he hastily evolved his $1,500,000,000 scheme and with the aid of his potent allies rushed it through Congress. (Copyright, 1938, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Transients Stage Minor 'Revolution' What started as a battle royal last night ended as an "out-you-go" ceremony for four transients in city court this morning. It started when John Ro-manackie Ro-manackie told William Sche-pancki Sche-pancki he was not only a Catholic but a Romanoff, a member of the former ruling house of Russia. The scene was a boxcar at 10th West and Fifth South. The time-midnight. time-midnight. Schepancki declared himself a Communist and decided to start a "revolution"' against Romanickie, Traffic Sergeant O. E. Pedersen reported. Homer Williams and Sherman Shelton, negroes, who were listening in, decided to join the Romanoff forces. Bolstered by alcoholic stimulus, stimu-lus, according to the officers, the fight progressed until the two negroes disappeared to seek more stimulus. Sergeant Pedersen and Officer Of-ficer Fred Adamson arrived and took the Schepascki-Ro-manackie contingent into keeping. Then they caught the other two. This morning Judge A. L. Booth ordered for each as they pleaded guilty to vagrancy, vag-rancy, a sentence of six months in the county jail at hard labor but suspended the sentence until 2 o'clock. The four left town.

Lonesome BY X REPORTER The "lonely old boy" who sent the crepe myrtle snru'os from Georgia is still down there, and is pining for his homeland in the northwest. '"This week," he writes me, "I have been in the hill district- of Georgia. Spring is also there.

Answers on Page 1, Sec, 2 Bright Moments in Great Lives Thomas Brackett Reed, the American statesman, had just come to California. Judge Wallace, Wal-lace, afterward a chief justice of California, gave Reed his bar examination. ex-amination. It was in 1863 and the Civil war was raging. The legal tender act was much discussed, especially in California, where a gold basis was still maintained. Judge Wallace walked into Reed's office one afternoon and said: "Mr. Reed. I understand you want to be admitttd to the bar. Have you studied law?" "Yes, sir; I studied in Maine while teaching." "Well." said Wallace, "I have one question to ask: Is the legal tender act' constitutional." "Yes," said Reed. "You shall be admitted admit-ted to the bar. Tom Bodley (a deputy sheriff of the county) was asked the same question, and he answered 'No. We will admit you both, for anybody who can answer J offhand a question like that ought i to practice law in this country." mw Piute f&Q Squaw Creek Dear Newspaper- Indian Charlie went down to 6ettlment and bought a blind horse for pack trips this summer.
