BOSTON, March 17 (U. P.).—Three have turned ‘back the “recession” this year—and have gone down to the sea in a ship. i . Actually the trio was aided by

: four others, but the originators of

8 plan to revive an abandoned, 90-year-old coastwise shipping line were three New England boys, the eldest a 1936 graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Leader of the bold pioneers was

. John C. Stapler, a graduate of

Tech’s ship operation ‘course and employee of a New York steamship line. With him were Alden H. An-

derson, a classmate and employee |

of a Boston ship agency, and Frederick BE. Drake Jr., who left Bowdoin College to ship around tne world as an assistant purser. Early in 1935 the Eastern Steamship Lines suspended operation of their Bangor-Boston line and, despite protests of a few shippers, tied up several old hulks and announced they never would run

He Had Ideas!

But Mr. Stapler had other ideas. He called a score of meetings with Anderson and Drake where they pored over maps and charts, figured

gross tonnage and discussed maritime labor problems. The upshot was that all three

. threw up their jobs and gallantly

dumped their savings into a common pile, but it was scarcely sufficient to meet their personal needs. So with an inspired sales talk on their tongues .and an armful of papers showing the advantage of a Diesel-powered ship for coastwise use, the frantic financiers sold stock to their friends—to businessmen or anyone who would buy. - They sold stock and bought the 150-foot Diesel-powered ship Penobscot. They sold stock and bought paint. They sold more stock and hired a crew. Last spring they announced a ehipping schedule, loaded the vessel with 38 tons of cargo and nosed out of. the’ island-dotted- harbor for points “down East.” Off Rockland the engines broke down and the good ship Penobscot hobbled into port, unable to proceed for many days and with the cargo still undelivered.

Deliver on Time

By hiring trucks the young owners delivered the cargo on schedule and repaired the motors, but their bank account was woefully depleted.

However, at Bangor the shippers were delighted at the resourceful ekippers who delivered the goods on time, and despite the accident were ready to ship again. Since then the ship -has increased tonnage on each trip. The engines have held together, and there has been no labor trouble. Incidentally, with less than a year’s experience, the youths are planning an expansion program thdt will take their ship farther north along the coast to get cargo from the fish canneries. “But,” Stapler says, “that’s another story.”

: By DR. GEORG 18 GALLUP Director, Amey ican institute of Public Opinion NEW YOEK, March 17—With Pfsident Ropsevels 3 advisers now gaged in a bitter fight over whether the New Deal should: attempt to conciliate lhusiness further or stand pat cn its present program, a nation-wide survey of public opinjon provides irportant new facts on the trend of sentiment! regarding the Administration’s business policies today. One group of White House advisers is urging the President to hold © fast and 124ke no concessions to business. Al gpposing group, headed by Secretary of Commerce Hopkins and Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, wants him to adopt a definite policy of moderation and positive encouragement to business. The Presiden: is said to be wavering betwsen the two schools of thought. One question basic to the whole controversy is: In what diretion does the public ean?

AMERICAN INSTITUTE

PUBLIC/OPINIC

Poll Indicate; Trend

The national soundings of the American Instiiite ¢f Public Opinion give stronf evidence that the dominant pull of public dpinion today is toward tie Hopkins-Morgen-thau policy of gfonciliating business in an effort tc restore confidence. This policy is popular with voters chiefly because a majority of them believe that the Administration’s attitude toward biisiness has been an important factor in delaying business recovery. The Institutes sour dings, taken among represeniative votérs in all

sues. The first was: “Do you think that the general attitude of the Rooscvelt Administration toward business is too friendly or not friendly enough?” The largest single group, constituting a majority of those answering, said they thought (f was “not friendly enough.” Resulis of the poll were: | Too friendly ... 9 per cent Not friendly enough 52 pér cent About right ........30 per cent The Institute asked this same question a year end a half ago and a comparison of results shows that an increasing nuraber cf voters have become convinced that ‘he New Deal is too hostile to busiress. At that time 38 per cent said it was “not friendly enough” as against 52 per cent today.

Recovery Discussed

The second queiition put to voters in the survey was as follows: “Do you think the attitude of
