Show BEVERLY ' HILLS Well all I know is just what I read in the papers. Was back East a week or so ago, messing around, trying to get some news. Was down to Washington for several days a couple o times. Things sure was popping when 1 was in the old joke factory. The Senate was trying the impeachment T r t o 1 rf Mr ing. In other words I want to pull a Rockefeller with him. You know when we. were all young why we used to bring the children in off the roads when Rockefeller come by. We had heard such tales of his wealth and power. Then he began to get rid of gobs and gobs of his money, and It dawned on people what he was doing. do-ing. The humanatarian things he was accomplishing why it changed our whole attitude towards him. (I am speaking of the elder John D, for the younger man had always done great work). But today I doubt if we have a man in our history that has done more fine things to relieve suffering suf-fering humanity, and I know he has been made mighty happy in his old age by it. Well now no doubt Mr Morgan has done some fine things, and given away much money, but there is a great chance for him to leave a great name for himself, for fortunately he is just so constituted constitu-ted mentally for organization, with a grasp of facts, and conditions, and above all a great personality. Course its awful easy to tell somebody some-body else what to do with their affairs af-fairs (especially money) but I am just speaking of a side line for him, for its a shame that more folks dont know what a fine old boy he is personally. per-sonally. In fact I think I will start a society for the rejuvination of prominent elderly elder-ly men. Drag em BANKERS POPULARITY Louderback. I happened to be in there the evening the vote come. He was tried on five counts, and come clear on all five. I hadent kept up much on the evidence. I dident know much what it was all about, but I would have hated to see a Califor-nian Califor-nian lose his job. Jobs are tough to get, even judgeships. Well of course the main thing that was percolating at that time, and it was new then was the Morgan trial. Well here was the astonishing thing about that, was the friends that Morgan himself made while on the stand. You know we had all come to look on Morgan as some sort of gorilla that just jumped through the forest and picked all the ripe fruit and berries and would-ent would-ent any more than grunt at anybody else. If we ever felt we would meet him, we dident know if he would shake hands with us or bite us. You know we used to shoo all the photographers pho-tographers away like they was nios-quietos, nios-quietos, in fact few people had ever seen the old boy cause his yacht was so big and fast you couldent get near him. Well then come along this trial, and he was just a changed man. Why he accomidated the photographers with all the pictures they wanted, he smiled, grinned, did everything but turn somersaults for em And before you knew it all the newspaper men were all hot for him. He was so pleasing on the stand, never lost his temper, always willing to answer, or co-operate in helping them to find out something that he might not know himself. Well right away after meeting him through his chief attorney John W Davis I told him I dident know much about him, but 1 believed his racket couldent be so bad, or else Dwight Morrow wouldent have been with him. Then the next day through my little daily "Blab" I started a crusade cru-sade to make Morgan get interested In ome side line besides this bank- out of their personal per-sonal rat hole where they have been, let em get mixed up in some outgoing racket. Instead of all just incoming. You know there is nothing noth-ing as tiring and boring in this country coun-try as just a rich man. So my scheme is to bring em back to respectability. respectabili-ty. I am going to start in with the bankers, thats why I want Morgan. Ha will be my best add, and ex- ample. If I can make bankers loved by the community again it is going to be a Godsend to their families. I may have to work this on a commission commis-sion basis, for it looks like a big field. They pay me according to their growing popularity. As people quit throwing rocks at em, I get so much, as they start speaking to em, I get so much. If I can get em cheering em, why then I get a real bonus. Remember Re-member the name, "Rogers Reconstruction Recon-struction Bankers Popularity Association."
