BUSY EXECUTIVE I TAKES TIME TO HONOR OLD PAL Western Union President Finds Things Improved on Visit Here. Back today In New York, ‘my other home," Roy Barton White, 52-1 year-old president of the Western Union Telegraph Cos., former Indianapolis resident, has the satisfaction of having completed "a pleasant I business mission" here and of having left cheering words of a better business outloc’.;. Industry is quickening its pace in response to agriculture's definite upturn and there are ‘‘millions more” j of money in circulation, Mr. White j declared. The “pleasant business mission," j performed Monday night, was the pinning by Mr. White of a medal on the coat lapel of the man who taught him the rudiments of telegraphy. That medal-pinning gesture is a good White indice. It was done with minimum pretension, with j maximum affection and loyalty. Although he rates among the nation's foremost executives, Mr. White felt i it only natural that he should make ; a trip alone to do the honors to his old railroading friend, Flank M. Conner, B. & O. trainmaster. Mr. Conner is retired after 50 years services, so as his former pupil explained, "you can understand why I had to be here."

Finds Things Improving For a man who heads a corporation controlling more than 2,000.000 land miles, and some 38.000 nautical miles, of “lines,” Mr. White does not wear the executive toga with much swagger. He worked his way to the top, and is still working, without show, to stay there. Getting back to business—and he seemed rather reluctant to dwell on that over-worked subject, Mr. White did confirm the fact that “things are better." The telegraph business, he declared, is improving all the time “and some people think it is a pretty good barometer.” Mr. White travels a lot—and invariably by train. He hasn't added up this year's mileage, but last year he covered more than 48,000 miles. This, of course, is to be expected of one who “likes to keep in touch" with some 24,000 offices in which are employed more than 44,000 persons. He’s Silent on Polities On the New Deal, its program for control of communications, and any of a dozen other political subjects, Mr. White reserves the right to “watch and wait" without demonstration. In the matter of providing Western Union patrons a faster

HUNTINGTON STREET LIGHTS TO BE DARK City Is Without Money to Pay Electric Bill. B;t T'nitcd Pra>t HUNTINGTON, Ind., Dec. 11.— Street lights in the city of Huntington will be turned off tonight as Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs continues his fight against the Northern Indiana Power Cos. The fund for paying the light bill is depleted, Mayor Bangs explained. It was said, however, that the city’s “toy" electric plant. Mayor Bangs’ chief weapon in his fight against the utility, will continue to supply current to approximately GSO domestic and commercial consumers. City Clerk - Treasurer Wallace Reed sent a bill from the city light department to the city ilght $1,712.50 for current consumed during October in street lighting, with the notation, “no appropriation." and better service—well “we work on that all the time. We’ve learned to head the procession, because that is the best way to keen up with it.” But in his self-effacing way, the “big boss” nurses an opinion on the topic of prosperity. “We mustn’t try to go too fast,” he warns. “And if we don’t do that —don’t let. our eyes run away with nur appetites—the present improvement should continue indefinitely. Optimism is fine; over-optimism is dangerous.”
