DESCRIBES HIS METHODS
OF OBTAINING PUBLICITY
Washington, June 22. Methods,
including "back slapping," used to
influence the newspaper editors in
Tennessee to publish power concerns
publicity to defeat government oper
ation of Muscle Shoals were describ
ed today in the federal trade commis
sion's utility investigation.
Guy P. Newburn, Nashville, direc
tor of the Tennessee public service
information bureau, who was the
witness before the commission, testi
fied the first place of importance for
the utility publicity organizations
to obtain contracts was with the
newspapers and their editors. He de
clared he had urged the other south-
. .. . . -
ern utility publicity organizations
to "call the country editors by their (
first names and slap them on the
back." !
"Without the friendship of news
paper editors" Newburn said. "I
don't think that any business can
succeed." He added, in reply to ques- ,
tions by Robert E. Healy, chief com
mission counsel, that he had been
partly successful in the back slapping
of Tennessee editors. '

Coolidge Lets
Business Pass by
as He Rests
President Thoroughly Enjoying Pres
ent Privacy and Absence of
Political Turmoil.
Superior, Wis., June 23. Satisfied
to let all but the most pressing of
his duties lie over until Monday,
President Coolidge decided Friday to
wind up the remainder of this week
in the soliture of the Wisconsin
woods, thus getting 10 full days of
invigorating open air life before pay
ing his first call at his executive of
fices.
Some routine matters, however,
required Mr. Coolidge's approval and
signature and these were taken out
to him Friday at Cedar Island lodge.
These questions quickly dispatched,
and wearing his 10 gallon hat and
his high-heeled boots, he chose to
take it easy reading the papers and
strolling about in the immediate vi
cinity of the lodge.
No word had reached Mr. Cool
idge Friday from Washington that
Secretary Work intended to come
to Superior in the near future either
before or after resigning from the
cabinet.
! Caused No Surprise,
i In fact officially, Mr. Coolidge had
1 not been informed of Mr. Work's in
tention to resign, having learned this
! only through press reports. The an
j nouncement, however, caused no sur
! prise at the summer White House.
While it was emphasized that Mr.
; Coolidge had apparently every in
dention of spending an exceedingly
quiet summer, receiving few visitors
land perhaps refusing all invitations
j for trips and speeches, it was said
' that a visit frcm Mr. Work would be
! welcomed. In any case the chief exe-
outive would be glad to go over
; departmental matters with the re
; tiring interior secretary in view of
i the vacancy in the cabinet which
! would have to be filled- . .
I ' It was added that probably it
would devolve on Mr. Work to pre
pare the preliminary estimates for
I his department's appropriations for
the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1929.
Secluded Life.
These have to be filed with the
bureau of the budget by August 1,
and Mr. Coolidge was thought to be
glad to have the opportunity to dis-
j cusss them with Mr. Work.
I Little indication was available
j here regarding Mr. Coolidge's views
j on the political aspects of Mr.
Work's projected visit. The chief
executive has led for the last week
so secluded a life at Cedar Island
lodge that no opportunity has been
afforded to even his closest aides here
to discuss the matter with him.
No information is therefore at
hand to show what part Mr. Coolidge
would be willing to take in the forth
coming campaign nor whether he
would be ready to advise in the prac
tical details of its management. The
impression is well grounded, however
that Mr. Coolidge is enjoying hugely
his present privacy and the absence
of political turmoil about him.

LINCOLN MAKES ITS BID
Asheville, N. C, June 22. The
Optimist intei national annual con

voring the enactment in every state
of laws prohibiting the issuance of
marriage licenses to persons unable

and after an antimated discussion
rejected a resolution recommending
the passage of state laws to provide
for the sterilization of feeble mind
ed persons and dangerous criminals.

recommendations are usually adopted
presented the following candidates
for next year's officers: For presi
dent, Harlington Wood, of Spring

vice president, Paul Gibbons, Phila
delphia; third vice president, War

A Paper fcr Home Folks
Your home town is the most im
portant place on earth. No matter
where you go, you are always inter
ested in being shown a copy of the
old home paper with its news of the
activities of your friends. The Jour
nal is just that sort of a paper for
Cass county people. It maintains in
dividual news departments for six or
seven smaller towns that are with
out a paper of their own. In addition,
it publishes all the important news
of the county seat, doings at the
court house, official proceedings of
the county commissioners, etc. It is
your paper the one you'd call for if
marooned on a far-away island and
could be given your choice, but only
one. We want all the homes in
which the Journal does not circulate
ito realize that no better expenditure
of $2 could possibly be made than in
