SPRINGS GROUP EYES SPA PLAN MAYOR MAKES APPOINTMENTS _ a «« a - - t — Spratt Wells Found Dead, Room SHAKESPEAREAN BEARD, COSTUME URGED FOR CITY ,1 f’ORLON CLAYCOMB, Aah- land's new publicity agent, made good his promise to put this city in the news Tuesday night when he suggested a new kind of Jew-baiting to Chamber of Com merce listeners in the Lithia hotel. Claycomb, in explaining his plans for exploiting Shakespearean fes tivals and other attractions here, declared that Jewish refugees in flight from Germany and Austria should be invited to the Ashland area to make their new homes. "Of course," he explained, "the invitation would be extended only to the wealthy refugees who would make fine and desirable citizens.” Having traveled extensively in Europe, Claycomb explained he knew many of them and had re cently talked to Jewish refugees in Portland interested in locating in some farming community where they might live closely and invest fortunes salvaged from the old country. The occasion for the speech was a monthly open forum meeting of the Chamber of Commerce which took the form of a banquet with Claycomb making the principal address. The city recently signed a contract with Claycomb to pay him $1000 for bis services during 1939 in placing this city and its advantages before the public, with other groups to add $500 to his total remuneration. Claycomb also suggested that business men here get together and help exploit news and interest possibilities of the annual Shakes pearean festivals by adopting some costume appropriate to the occasion complete with hairy Eli zabethan facial adornment on the men. "Instead of having a gold rush observance, why not a Shakespearean stunt, inasmuch as our summer festivals are .Ash land's best bid for wide attention,” declared Claycomb. Claycomb also reported he was making progress in persuading Portland newspapers to give greater emphasis to Ashland news stories, and his suggestion that a local committee be chosen to act as information contacts for tour ists was acknowledged by C of C President Frank Van Dyke, who promised appointments in the near future. v; ■ I z V I Francis Marian Poole Away Kansas City Meeting Waldmar R.
