Barkley Leaves
Lady Behind
St. Louis, Aug. 16 (U.P.) Vice
President Alben W. Barkley left
his pretty lady friend behind
when he returned to his Wash
ington duties Monday but it ap
peared he might have another
date with her Thursday.
The 71-year-old "veep" is giv
ing the rush to Mrs. Carleton S.
Hadley, attractive 37-year-old
St. Louis widow.
Although everyone from St.
Louis to Washington was pretty
certain that romance existed be-
twppn thpm thp nnnnld mnin-
lained a dignified silence during
a weekend date when Mrs. Had
ley helped Barkley dedicate an
airport in his hometown at Pa
ducah, Ky.
Much to the disappointment
of everyone, they didn't even
hold hands during the ceremony
Sunday, nor Saturday night,
when Barkley threw an old
fashioned Kentucky style dinner
party at his home.
Barkley's next trip to the
midwest will be Thursday when
he speaks before the democra
tic governor's day throng at the
Illinois state fair in Springfield.
He and Mrs. Hadley weren't
saying . whether she would ac
company him to the fairgrounds.
But gossips were pretty certain
she would.
The hearty vice-president
pulled a sly joke on 10,000 peo
ple who gathered at the Padu-
cah, Ky., county airport yester
day when he partook in cere
monies naming it in his honor.

bor and public welfare, of taking
his cue "solely on the basis of
representations made by one
oarty, namely the ILWU (CIO
International Longshore m e n's
and Warehousemen's Union).
"This appears from many in
stances in which you have
spoken without regard for the
facts and data submitted to you
as a member of the senate com
mittee on labor and public wel
fare by the stevedoring indus
try of Hawaii," the statement
said. "Despite the record, and
despite its availability to you for
study, not once have you credit
ed the industry with an iota of
sincerity in negotiations. The
record is abundantly clear that
the companies have made every
enort, save acceptance of arbl
tration of wages, to end this
strike.
Hawaii is an agricultural
community, depending on two
crops sugar and pineapple
Sugar and pineapple employes
are almost completely organized
and collective bargaining is ful
ly accepted. You know, this is
an unusual situation in agricul
ture. These industries support
year round employment for
large number of workers. Wages
paid tnem are the highest agri
cultural wages paid anywhere
in the world. Sugar workers
receive an average wage in ex
cess of $8.00 a day and pine
apple plantation workers aver
age in excess of $9.00 per dav
This compares with art average
farm wage in the mainland
United States of $4.25 per day
"You stated that Hawaii's
stevedoring companies are try
ing to 'break the union and win
the strike'. The companies are
trying to settle this strike on a
fair, equitable basis; Break the
union? No. They have stated
categorically i n negotiations
with the ILWU that they expect
to conclude an agreement with
this union.
"In further reference to strike
breaking, you stated 'they want
tne u.h. government to help
tnem do it. ine stevedore com
panies have in no instances re
quested or sought government
intervention of any kind.
"You further stated that 'poor
laoor-management relations de
monstrate a lack of ability.' We.
would appreciate any example
where it can be shown that the
West Coast Maritime Labor Re
lations, involving the ILWU,
have even approached the stabil
ity found in Hawaii since union
organization in 1941 to date."
The statement added that
more than 400 collective bar
gaining agreements had been
reached in Hawaii since the end
of the war. Most of these have
been reached with the ILWU,
the statement said.
Steele pointed out the em
ployers agreed to accept a fact
finding board's recommendation
of a 14-cent wage increase. The
union rejected it.
The CIO Longsoremen struck
107 days ago, demanding a 32
cent increase. The basic hourly
wage when they struck was
$1.40.
American agricultural ma
chinery imported into New Zea
land last year was valued at
more than $135,000.

Tokyo Rose Defense Opens
Case in Effort to Clear Her
San Francisco, Aug. 16 (u.R) The defense opened its case in the
treason trial of Tokyo Rose today as assistant defense Attorney
Theodore Tamba spoke for 45 minutes on Mrs. Toguri d'Aqulno's
life in wartime Japan and how she was forced to broadcast propa
ganda to American troops.
After the opening statement,
former Australian Major
Charles Cousens took the stand
to bolster defense contentions
that the 33-year-old Los Angeles
born nisei did no more than in
troduce musical recordings on
the program and even plotted to
sabotage the Japanese propa
ganda program.
Cousens confined his testi
mony before the noon recess to
his background in the British
army. Speaking with a crisp
British accent, Cousens said he
joined the army shortly after
the surrender at Dunkerque in
1940 and came to Singapore i
1941.
He said he was captured at
the fall of that British bastion in
Malaya and set to repairing
bomb damage by the Japanese.
Later, Cousens said, he was
asked to make a record at the
request of his commanding offi
cer, to "broadcast a statement to
the people of Australia that his
battalion had been captured and
was in Japanese hands. Cousens
said the rule of not giving any
information besides their name,
rank and serial number had
been relaxed "because we have
fallen into the hands of the bar
barian."
Tamba said Mrs. d'Aquino
saw her funds exhausted in an
unfriendly land.

'She had to leave her uncle's
place in 1942 and went to work
for Domei news agency," Tamba
said. She was constantly watch
ed by the Kempei Tai (secret
police), Tamba stated.
The secret police demanded
Mrs. d'Aquino change citizen
ship and become a Japanese na
tional, but she stalled them and
went to work for Radio Tokyo
the business office, Tamba
said.
Tamba said the defense would
prove she contacted POW's
working at the station, was un
der suspicion by them, but
eventually won their confi
dence. They asked her to take
a voice test, Tamba said. She
protested, but was forced to by
the police.
Tamba said Mrs. d'Aquino
told Cousens she wouldn't
broadcast any propaganda, and
that the Australian replied:
"You won't. This is going to
be a program of entertainment
of interest to allied troops."

By any measure "RPM" does a better job. By coating
cylinder walls with a moisture-proof film, "RPM" stops inter

compounding, RPM Motor Oil protects your engine against
abrasive contaminants which it keeps harmlessly dispersed
between drains. It stops formation of gum, sludge and carbon
keeps oil rings free and unclogged ... oil filters cleaner. By
any measure, it's "RPM" first choice in the West.
Old Tricks Used in Effort
VITo Stimulate Sale of Goods
By SAM, DAWSON
New York, Aug. 16 Salesmen are beating the bushes for
customers again. They are using some new sticks, but the old
tricks.
For instance, wives of highly
in department stores part of
brand of silverware.
Two girls pull hair at a New)
iYork night club. They are said
to be quarreling over which
knows the really stylish way to
make a drink, with cucumber or
mint. The sponsors introducing
this British beverage (Pimm's
cup) to the United States say the
fight was unrehearsed.
It just means it's a buyer's
market again, and that people
lie awake nights thinking up
jways of getting you to learn
about their product without
realizing it was planted.
It's no accident these days
when a trade-marked product
becomes part of a movie set
it's more apt to be the result of
a long campaign by the com
pany's agents to plant it there.
Nor when a particular product
becomes part of a gag line of a
radio comedian, nor when it
draws ohs and ahs on a give
away program.
Here are some of the perfect
ly legitimate advertising and
promotion stunts that companies
have tried recently, with' results
they report as excellent:
You used to get a free ride
on election day if you'd vote
right. A New York department
store uses television to advise
you that if you will shop right,
they'll send a big car to fetch
you from home to their door.
Some companies, especially in
the radio and home appliance
fields, hold exhibitions of their
product in swanky hotels. They
offer door prizes to lure possible
customers inside.
International Silver started a
silver sweepstakes for retailers
around the country. A depart
ment store which got a public
official's wife to pour tea in the
silver department reports sales
jumped 1200 per cent In the

placed public officials pour tea

two weeks in 1948.
The Seiberling Rubber Co.
says one of its Maryland deal
ers increased sales by advertis
ing the price of truck tires as so
much per 1,000 miles of service,
instead of as a lump sum per
tire. .
Sometimes the promotion
schemes spread into fields that
surprise old-timers. Remember
when banks were grim fort
resses, and banker's hours serv
ed his convenience. Not yours?
Now, some have show-win
dows and counters like stores.
Some run branches in railroad
stations to serve commuters.
Others stay open one evening a
week. At least one in the Wall
street district serves afternoon
tea. Others have television
equipped lounges so that shop
ping customers can be amused
while resting their feet.
The secret seems to be, they
want your business.
