EXCESS PROFIT CHARGE DENIED BY LINDBERGH Famed Flier’s Financial Acts Thrown Open to Public. By Unitr/t Prrn NEW YORK. Feb. 19.—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh’s financial transactions in aviation were open to public scrutiny today. They were made available by the flier himself, apparently in reply to inferences that he profited unduly from his connection with two major air transport companies, Transcontinental and Western Air and PanAmerican Airways. „ The summary of his financial dealings followed a week after his telegram to President Roosevelt, protesting against what he termed the unfairness of the air mail contract cancellation order, which affected, among others, the T. W. A. Essentially the same as the one he forwarded to the Black air mail investigating committee in Washington a month ago, the statement deailed that the flier made a total profit of $187,838 over a period of six years from stocks and warrants of the T. W. A. and P. A. A., exclusive of reinvestment in their stocks. The statement also contained the first categorical denial made by Colonel Lindbergh of implications that he had received "gifts” of stocks from air line operators. Reinvests All Profit According to his statement, he realized a profit of $150,834.80 from his Pan - American transactions. This, with ’several thousand dollars additional" he reinvested in the company. His Transcontinental and Western Air profits totaled $195,633.75. The profit figures, the summary added, did not include Colonel Lindbergh's deductions for business expenses, purchase and operation of airplanes or the costs of survey flights. For a time, according to the statement, his salaries from the two companies aggregated $20,000 a year, but were somewhat lower in recent years. Colonel Lindbergh also explained a transaction revealed before the senate committee which indicated the flier received a gift of 25,000 shares of stock of the Transcontinental Air Transport, predecessor of the T. W. A., valued at $250,000. "In accordance with the terms of his employment contract executed in May, 1928.” his statement said, “Colonel Lindbergh received $250,000 in cash and an option to purchase stock in the company. He reinvested all of the $250,000 in company stock." Never Received Stock Gift The flier revealed his salary as a technical adviser to the T. A. T. was SIO,OOO a year until 1931, when its operations were taken over by T. W. A. The T. W. A. now pays him $6,000 a year, a reduction, it was learned, he requested when the pay of the line's pilots was reduced. His Pan-American Airways salary is SIO,OOO annually. “Colonel Lindbergh," the statement continued, "lias had no other investments in aviation companies since 1930. Up to that time he had a total loss of $554.75 from investments in other aviation companies. He received a salary of SIO,OOO a year as technical advisor to the Pennsylvania railroad for three years. Since 1931. he has received a salary of $1 a year." After explaining that all of the facts contained in his summary were set forth in detail in answer to the senate committee’s questionnaire, Colonel Lindbergh disposed of implications that he had received “gifts” in thus single sentence: “Colonel Lindbergh has never received a gift of stock, stock options or warrants and clearly states so in answer to Paragraph 4 of the questionnaire.” '"CITY ELKS TO HOLD WASHINGTON PARTY Reservations Open for Annual Event Planned Saturday. • Indianapolis Elks will hold their annual Washington's birthday party Saturday night in the Oriental room of the Antlers.

Romance Marks Bidding for New Dickens Work Agents From All Over the World Bid for Rights to Long Unpublished ‘Life of Our Lord.’ BACK of first world-wide publication of "The Life of Our Lord," by Charles Dickens, beginning Monday, March 5, in The Indianapolis Times, is a dramatic story of modern business. Less than two weeks ago cables sent the news around the world that the London Daily Mail had purchased first publication rights to “The Life of Our Lord" for the unprecedented sum of sls a word and that United Feature Syndicate of New York had obtained all publication rights for North and South America.

Word that the manuscript would be made available for publication had precipitated a wild scramble among newspaper publishers, book publishers, syndicate managers and magazine editors for first rights. Airplanes, trans-Atlantic telephones, radio and cables were used in the negotiations. Monte Bourjaily, general manager of United Feature Syndicate, interviewed for The Times, tells of the events leading up to the forthcoming first publication. Beginning with the manuscript itself, Mr. Bourjaily points out that its very existence was unknown to most of the world’s millions of Dickens readers until last Decemoer. There are few references to it in Dickensian literature. “The manuscript was kept as a precious secret in the Dickens family for eighty-five years,” said Mr. Bourjaily. "The author had left it to his sister-in-law, Georina Hogarth, who, in turn had bequeathed it to Sir Henry Fielding Dickens with the stipulation that it was not to be published until the last surviving child, and after he died in London last December, his widow announced that the family had decided to offer the manuscript for publication. e a a THAT quiet little announcement was the signal that set the publishing world afire," said Mr. Bourjaily. "What the value of publication rights would be, nobody then knew. That was something that would be determined by competitive bidding. “From every corner of the globe, agents set out by train, steamer and airplane headed for London. Within a few days, we realized we were in the midst of one of the greatest literary land rushes in history. “The first thing we did was to cable to E. L. Keen, our European manager, then in Paris, to fly to London to open negotiations with Curtis Brown, Ltd., literary agents for the Dickens family. From then on Mr. Keen was in constant touch with us by cable. “Sometimes there were as many as ten messages a day being cabled back and forth. Thousands of words were used as instructions were transmitted and we were apprised of new developments in the negotiations. The bidding had started modestly enough, but swiftly it rose to precipitous heights. “Now here, in order to give the picture to people who are not acquainted with newspaper syndicates, I want to try to make some business things clear. Everybody understands in general why an individual magazine or book publishing concern or an individual newspaper would be anxious to get first publication rights to any Dickens’ manuscript, but I believe general knowledge of a syndicate's function is somewhat vague. “The syndicate exists to sell features to newspapers. Some features are prohibitively expensive if any one newspaper undertakes to buy them, but when the syndicate buys an expensive ieature. it is in a position to sell publication rights to a number cf newspapers and thus reduce the cost to reasonable limits for each newspaper.” a a a “■IITHAT reasonable limits W would be in the case of the Dickens manuscript, nobody knew.” he continues. "But what we did know r was that this opportunity could come only once in a lifetime. We did know that an unpublished work by the author of ‘David Copperfield,’ The Pickwick Papers,' ’A Christmas Carol,’ ’The Tale of Two Cities,’ Oliver Twist,’ and the rest of the imperishable Dickens stories would be, on publication, an event of first magnitude. “Like everybody else concerned in the bidding, we had not seen the manuscript itself, but we did not feel that we were guessing about its value. We had too much faith in the genius of the man who had created Micawber, Sairy Gampr. Little Nell, Bill Sykes and the whole immortal gallery' of Dickens characters. "However, to make assurance doubly sure, we got into touch by telephone and telegraph with editors in key cities of the United States. Canada and Latin America. We needed their support if we were to keep up the precipitous bidding. "And it was because these editors saw eye to eye with us on the value of publication rights that we were enabled to keep in the running. They stuck to us as the bidding figures mounted and there was a call constantly for more money. "They saw eye to eye with us, too. on the fact that this first publication of The Life of Our Lord’ would be a world-wide news event. The custom had long developed in the publishing business that when a manuscript of importance was on the market, the magazines bought first rights. "If a leading novelist of today turns out anew story, the usual order of procedure is for the author to sell serial rights to a magazine, then book publishing rights, and then, later, what are called second serial rights to newspapers. In this fashion, the author would cash in for the most money. “In stepping into the bidding on the Dickens manuscript, we were upsetting a custom that had become pretty well standardized. But then we were facing a situation. the like of which had not happened in our time, and was not likely to happen again.” nan ‘* r T'' , HE publisher of The Times X has agreed with us that Dickens' 'The Life of Our Lord’ is news, and very important news. And it is because of this recognition that The Times has bought first publication rights,” added Mr. Bourjaily. "After we received the wire that announced the bidding had closed and first serial publication rights for North and South

America had been won by United Features Syndicate, we faced a new problem. That problem was to sell rights to newspapers. “And here the magazines entered the field again. The magazine editors had taken anew breath after losing out in the bidding in London. Now they began to bid in New York. “They came to us w'ith offers that nearly took our breath away. It would have been an easy matter to have sold the rights then and there and to have stepped out of the picture w'ith a very handsome profit. “However, the syndicate exists primarily to serve newpapers. We had an opportunity to assure newspapers of the biggest feature scoop of our day. The discovery of the manucript was news. Its publication in The Times will be a matter of outstanding news enterprise. _ We decided the discovmonth after the award of rights, belonged to the newspapers. “First publication will come Monday, March 5, less than a onth after the award of rights. Newspapers are the only medium which could move rapidly enough to give the story to the American public at the same time that it is being published in London. This first publication will be simultaneously throughout the Englishspeaking world. “The original manuscript itself has not been sold. If ever it is offered for sale it will doubtless bring forth astounding bids. What they may amount to is indicated by the fact that the great expert, Dr. A. S. T. Rosenbach. paid $37,500 for only five pages of the original manuscript of ‘Pickwick Papers.’ “However, Lady Dickens consented to have facsimiles made of the original manuscript. Photographers in London worked all of one day under Lady Dickens’ eyes to have these facsimiles made under glass. These reproductions will be an interesting part of the publication in The Times.”

‘Social Control Here to Stay’’—Wallace

(Continued From Page One) ing with Russia, they think; or open up some business in the orient; or ship out some cotton or wheat this way or that, then everything will open up again. I can not too sharply emphasize my conviction that internationalism must be even more carefully planned than a program of economic nationalism. a u a r I 'HE middle path betw’een econ- -*• omic internationalism and nationalism is the path we shall probably take in the end. We need not go the whole way on a program involving an increase of a billion dollars a year in imports. There are intermediate points between internationalism and nationalism, and I do not think we can say just where we are headed yet. We shall be under increasing difficulties, no matter which W’ay we tend, as our people become more and more familiar with the discomforts of the procedure. My own bias is international. It is an inborn attitude w’ith me. I have very deeply the feeling that nations should be naturally friendly to each other and express that friendship in international trade. At the same time we must recognize as realities that the world at the moment is ablaze with nationalist feeling, and that with our own tariff impediments it is highly unlikely that we shall move in an international direction very fast in the next few years. Therefore, we must push with the greatest vigor possible our retreat from surplus acres, and seek to arouse the intellectual stamina necessary to meet and triumph over unpopular facts. I pronose to outline the drift of circumstances which put this nation where it is today. Then, with as little bias as possible, I shall try to sketch the probable price—in terms of the actual and psychological pain of readjustment—of following the national, the international, or a rigorously planned middle trail out of the woods. There is still another trail—l mean the back trail, letting things drift, trusting to luck, plunging on toward internationalism as sellers and trying at the same time to huddle behind nationalist barriers as buyers. Even this, probably the most painful trail of all, is worth mentioning, for thousands ’of our people vociferously yearn to head that way, and the number of such people is likely to increase rather than diminish, I am afraid, in the next few years. a a tt NOTHING in words is to be taken as final. There can be no final answer to our present difficulties; there hardly can be even a satisfactory tentative answer until we decide which way we want to go. That question should be debated throughout America and on the highest possible plane. It should be dabated in congress. in public forums, in city

DEATH CLAIMS HENRY EITEL, CITYBANKER Senior Vice-President of Indiana National Is Taken at Home. Private funeral services for Henry Eitel. 81. will be held at the residence, 1809 North Meridian street, at 3 Wednesday afternoon. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery. Mr. Eitel died at his home last ngiht. He was senior vice-president of the Indiana National Bank for thirty years, and had spent his entire life, following graduation from Franklin college, in credits and banking. He entered Franklin college in 1870. and later became a trustee of the college. At one time he was state manager of Bradstreet’s credit agency, and in 1892 was on 4 of the organizers of the Union Trust Company, where he served as first vicepresident and also as president, and as a director for more than forty years. Named Drector in 1904 In 1904 he was elected a director of the Indiana National bank, and later in the same year was made president. Mr. Eitel was a brother-in-law of James Whitcomb Riley, and advised him on business affairs and publications. He was a member of the First Baptist church, where he served as trustee and as chairman of the board for many years. He was a charter member of Phi Delta Theta, at Franklin: a member of the Columbia Club, Mystic Tie Lodge, F. & A. M., and Keystone chapter. Married in 1878 In 1878 Mr. Eitel was married to Catherine Schramm. She died in 1881, and three years later he was married to Elva May Riley, sister of James Whitcomb Riley, who died in 1909. In 1920 Mr. Eitel was married to Martha Henderson, who survives him. Other survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Samuel R. Wells and Mrs. Harry Miesse, Indianapolis, and a son, Edmund H. Eitel; a sister, Mrs. John Doerr, Arcadia; two brothers, George Eitel and Charles Eitel, Indianapolis, and four grandchildren.

and in country schoolhouse meetings in every state. This time our course must not be decided behind closed doors, either in Washington or in Wall Street. The people must be let in on the problem. This Lime let us open the doors and debate our future course throughout the length and breadth of the land. We must not only find anew leadership, but a common will to support a planned and statesmanlike purpose. Our old leaders stand discredited. From the point of view of international adventures, the record of the international bankers has not been impressive. From the point of view of carrying out a nationalist plan, involving the retirement of some fifty to one hundred million acres, the aid and leadership which might be expected from great interior cities has ben similarly uninspiring. Whether we are prepared at this time to engagein in a genuinely scientific nation-wide discussion of the tariff, as it affects agriculture and other elements in a long-time plan for the whole nation, I have little means of knowing; but I suspect that the desperateness of the situation has done a great deal to make realists of us all. And I have faith that we can arouse from the ranks of our democracy, in city and country alike, a leadership that will address itself to fundamentals, and not simply blow off in the empty and prejudiced emotional bombast which has characterized such discussions in the past. Our thinking on such matters must rise above immediate and personal considerations, and above meaningless local bickerings, or our future is likely to be a dismal repetition of our past.

EOITORS’ GROUP IS ADDRESSED BY OVAHONET No Advice on Inter-Party Quarrels Offered by U. S. Senator. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY' Times Staff Writer Proof that the Roosevelt administration will take no part in tha pre-convention campaign for United States senator in Indiana was being offered today by political observers commenting on the visit here of Senator Joseph c. O'Mahoney of Wyoming. The senator delivered the principal address at the annual banquet of the Democratic Editorial Association. but. offered no advice in present inter-partv quarrels, advanced no candidacy even by indirection. Since Senator O Mahoney is one of the closest men in Washnigton to James A. Farley, postmaster-general and President Roosevelt’s political mentor, certain groups expected a w'ord of advice from him regarding the Hoosier senatorship. Peters Looks to Farley Senator O'Mahoney was assistant to Mr. Farley until appointed to the senate seat. He now is standing for re-election. Backers of R. Earl Peters, Ft. Wayne, for the senatorship long have boasted of his friendship with Mr. Farley. Some of them have expected aid from that quarter, but from Senator O'Mahoney's visit here it appeared that it will not be forthcoming. Having been beaten in his own state of New’ York by taking a hand in the New York City mayoralty campaign. Mr. Farley seems unlikely to interest himself now’ in anything but final election of a Democratic congress. Discuss National Administration Senator O'Mahoney confined himself to discussion of the national administration, dealing particularly with the air mail and postal subsidy scandals. Democrats now’ are busy clearing the debris of depression left by their Republican predecessors, he said. He asserted that congress is not an administration “rubber stamp,” but united behind the President because the Democrats have a program and are determined tp carry it out. President Wray E. Fleming of the association presided. Other speakers included Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, state Democratic chairman; Mrs. A. P. Flynn, vice-chair-man, and Governor Paul V. McNutt. Washington Program Set Birthday anniversary of George Washington will be observed at a meeting of Women of the Moose on Thursday night in the Moose temple, it was announced today by Georgia Grand and Phoebe Hart, who have charge of the program.
