"My feelings about the attitude of the administration toward business have been changed entirely," Hutton said In a statement telegraphed to his New York offices from his home In South Carolina where he has been 111 for several weeks, Written lAst Summer The magazine article, which Hut ton explalnrd was written last sum mer and which he said he would have withdrawn from publication this week If he had not been ill, proposed that all Industry "gang up" In or ganizing a powerful lobby to combat administration policies they didn't like. His telegraphed statement lost night follows: "My attention has been called to the misunderstanding that has arisen out of the publication this week of an article in the public utilities fort nightly magazine. In that article which urged that business men or ganize association to fight for their legal rights I used the phrase "let's gang up." This Is an expression that I have tised every since my boyhood days and all I had In mind to say was 'let's get together Any wrong Inference from the use of the word 'gang' la wholly unwarranted. Was Aroused "As a matter of fact I wrote that magazine article lost summer before congress adjourned and when most of us In the business world were aroused over the threats of conflsca tory legislation. "Since that time, however, I have noted with pleasure that the Room veil administration has taken steps in the right direction and I was par ticularly happy to read a speech made by Secretary Roper before the Asso elated Orocery Manufacturers of America last week, a speech In whose principles I heartily concur. "Had I not been 111 a few weeks ago when the magazine went to press I certainly would have withdrawn from publication the entire article because my feelings about te atti tude of the administration towards business have been changed entirely by the recent pronouncement made by Secretary Roper, "AH the statements I have made In recent months have been Issued ' 7 iVs-tY I HANDFUL i Supply that needed energy ivith HONEY MAID GRAHAMS 'Tm hungry, Mother!" ... the familiar theme song of healthy youngsters.

Frank Grimes. In a letter to members of the alliance, one of the largest volun tary associations of Its kind, Mr. Crimea stressed the point that wel fare of the Independent merchant odn hia newspaper are irrevocably bound togther. "Through the depression years, rather than reduce newspaper adver tising space, we have steadily aug mented It," Jllr. Grimes said. "As a result IGA is today in a position where nothing can stop It In Its progreas. "The fellows who used the depres sion as an excuse to curtail their advertising have steadily made their plight worse and are now paying the penalty for their shortMghted neea. Our consistent advertising and prnmotion has been the most potent force In our remarkable growth. People are tcday swinging from low quality and price merchandise better and still better varieties, They will continue to buy quality If the merchant will steadily point the way and tell the story In his newspaper, he emphasized. Ad vert i si n g ma kea for volu me saea lower production cost and all benefit. If the independent dealers take the tip from their powerfully ganlzed competitors and work closely with their newspapers, they will bring about benefits to not only themselves but to their entire communities."

'"'fi7 PROOF STRAIGHT i l ba.lSSl STRAIGHT Mtl WASHINGTON, D. C (Spl) NO longer will explorers and curio hunt' era have the freedom of Easter Island, lonely landspot In the Pac ific ocean more than two thousand mites off the Chilean coast. The Chilean government recently declar ed the Island a national monument in order to protect Its famous sta tues. "Easter Island la the easternmost habitat of the Polynesian race, says a bulletin from the Washing ton, D. C, headquarters of the Nat ional Geographic society, "yet it in no other way comparable other islanda of the South Seas, except that It Is of volcanic origin Has Inactive Volcanoes "Fifty square miles in area. It has no lush forests and no palm-fringed coasts. It Is liberally dotted with volcanoes that long ago stopped pouring molten lava over their rims, The lower portion of the Island composed of sheets of lava, which now are In process of dlslntegra tlon. Walking over these lower areas is extremely tiresome, and In places almost Impossible; and riding Is very slow procedure. The surfaces of the mountain sides and hills are generally smooth since they are formed of fine volcanic ash. Both the lowlands and highlands are covered with grass. "The island got Its name from the fact that the first known white man, a Dutch navigator, landed there on Easter day In 1722. "Lying off the usual shipping routes of the South Pacific, Easter Island has never been a tourist center. A few shipwrecked men have found It a haven and a Chilean company has used It for cattle raising. Traders touch It: but Its chief lure lies In Its statues, huge stone monuments whose origin has baffled archeologtsta and historians since the Island's discovery. "In open fields. In quarries, and along the edge of the sea, these grotesque Images are to be found Some stand as they were placed by the natives: no one knows when Others have fallen on their sides or backs, while still others now are face downward or burled. While they differ In sir, they are similar in shape, representing half-length human figures, with hands meeting In front of the bodies. Once they adorned stone tombs of deceased islanders, but only a few of the tombs remain. There are statues from three to more than 30 feet high but most of them are 12 to 20 feet in length. Some weigh many tons. Visitora wender how these heavy statues were transported to their positions sometimes miles from quarries. Miinv Statues Unfinished "In one quarry, scores of Images may be seen In various stages of completion. In some cases they are completely carved but have not been cut away from their bases. Early visitors, to the Island found stone tools strewn about the quarry as though workmen stopped suddenly and never returned to complete their work. Why, no one knows. Script-covered wooden panels have been found but they have failed to yield the secret of the Island's past. The 350 Inhabitants, clustered in a village on the western aide of the Island, have their versions of Easter Island's history but these are often too fantastic to be credible. The nattves know cattle raising. their only Industry, but the habits of teir forbears are unknown to them. A story Is told by the islanders to throw some light on the deser tion of an Easter island quarry. It anld that an old woman living the southern corner of the mountain in which the quarry was located, was a cook to the Image makers. She was an outstanding person In the quarry establishment. By supernatural power she moved the statues at her will. While she was away from the quarry, the workmen obtained a fine lobster. They consumed It and saved none for her. They forgot to conceal the remains and when she returned and found she had been left out of the feast, she arose In her wrath and told the Images to fall down, thus bringing the work to a standstill."
