Blame Calvert's
NEW YORK, Aug. 16—It has been some time since I attempted to reform the hucksters—a thankless, hopeless task, I will admit, but one which gives me an esoteric pleasure, akin to hitting yourself over the skull with a hammer. Two aspects of the advertising business have recently gotten all out of hand—the little-man indorsement and the bogus editorial column. The first, or little-man, testimonial seems to have beeh instigated by the Calvert whisky peo-
ple. Weary of indorsement by illustrious lushes, °
Calvert brought its product to the little people. Its agency discovered that a brisk canvass of any e street would yield a citizen who was delighted | building, character-molding content of this particular brand of booze. And so. ere long, the papers, magazines, car-placards and bill-boards blazed with the information that Wilmer Gluttz, of Hoboken, address such-and-such, had switched to Calvert's.
Little Man Comes Into His Own
I THOUGHT it right cute that the little man should finally come in for public acclaim, by virtue of his fondness for a shot of hooch—to walk down history’s sidewalk hand-in-hand with the uppercase men of distinction, ‘like Mr, Danton Walker, the distinguished journalist, and Mrs. Robert Smith the distinguished publisher. But this shrewd merchandising plot was bungled, and we have been assailed on all sides by people named Oscar; who have switched to everything from deodorant to rat-poison. The final blow was administered the other day, under the black headline: “I Can Get It At Last.” There then followed a smudgy picture of a hollowcheeked young man, whose rapt gaze convinced ime that he had stumbled finally on a new Ford
Twin Testimony
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16—The Messrs. Lauchiin Currie. and Harry D. White both are small gray men with small gray mustaches, shiny eyeglasses and Ph. D. degrees. . If two bureaucrats could be typical, they are the ones. - Mr. Currie used to be administrative assistant to President Roosevelt; Mr, White, the assistant Secretary of Treasury, Both are accused of being the dupes of a Communist spy ring infesting the federal government. Both demanded the privilege of denying these charges before the House Un-American Activities Committee. And you'd have thought they were twins. Both wore gray suits of almost exactly the same shade. Both were friends of Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, the alleged master spy in Washington. Both attended parties at his house; both were in his now celebrated ceilar, where he allegedly photographed secret government documents.
‘Applauded Like Elder Bob Hope
BOTH INSISTED they weren't Communists and never had been. Both ‘admitted going to Jbat for pal Silvermaster, when the Civil Service Commission and Naval Intelligence tried to get him ousted from the government, Mr. Currie had the most hair; White, the biggest flair for clever repartee. He made so many wisecracks that the standing-room-only audience soon: was applauding him as though he were an
elderly Bob Hope. : He drew his biggest laugh when Rep. John McDowell (R. Pa.} remarked that he was almost ashamed to admit it, but he'd never heard of Mr. White until he was mentioned by Miss Elizabeth T. Bentley, christened by the headline writars the last couple of Saye 3a iis sp) queen. “Oh, that’s all right, Congressman,” said Mr. White, “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. By the way, might I inquire your name?” But let's back to Mr. Silvermaster’s cellar, where Miss |

Only trouble was I couldn't locate Mr. Lawless, and never did find out exactly what it| was. We can deal briefly with the phony column. Ever since Billy Rose turned a paid-advertising shill for a ginmill into a literary tour de force, or mint, the frustrated columnists have sprung up like dragon-seed around the land. They purchase space, get a procure-column cut of their phiz, and sound off on everything. You get four-fifths through a column dbout the Palestine problem before you discover it is a sales-talk for an undertaker. A celebrity interview degenerates—if that is the word—into a patter for a real-estate firm, and a spirited discourse on whither womanhood finally resolves into a plug for a new kind of breakfast hay. You can’t tell the columns from the customers any more, without a scorecard, and as a member of the old school which gets paid to write, instead of vice-versa, I resent it.

chinery that copied the government documents for Moscow. Certainly, said Mr. Currie, he'd been down there. Dropped by one Sunday morning with his son to show him the wood-working machines owned by Mr. Silvermaster’s star boarder, William Ullman, another alleged Communist. Mr. Currie said he saw no photo laboratory; said he probably wouldn't have recognized it if he did. Of course, said Mr. White, he'd been down in Mr. Silvermaster’s cellar. He fancied himself as a ping-pong player and he batted out a few fast games with his hest. No, hé saw no photographic equipment. But he knew that Mr. Ullman was an expert phofographer. How did he know? In his bedroom today, said Mr. White, could be seen a handsome photograph he'd asked Mr. Uliman to take of his children.
‘A Little Disconcerting’ MESSRS. CURRIE and White both told how they’d sought and obtained a review of the ruling which- had fired Mr. Silvermaster from his hushhush job with the War Resources Board. Mr. Currie took his case up with Undersecretary of War Robert Patterson; Mr. White went to Herbert Gaston, the Undersecretary of Treasury.
The Congressmen couldn't quite understand how the two bureaucrats—both are in private business now in New York—could have. been friendly with so many of the men Miss Bentley ounced as Communist spies. “It is a little disconcerting,” said Mr. White.

Probe Big Perk Extortion. Attempt
Police i nk ‘Pressure’
Rumor to Shakedown
Police today sought to determine whether a clumsy extortion attempt against Andrew (Big Perk) ‘Perkins is linked with re: ported efforts to “fix” a kidnaping and robbery case. Richard (Lightning) Woodard, 549 Agnes St, is wanted on a charge of trying to extort $250 from the paunchy Indiana Ave. gambling impresario yesterday. Woodard is accused of peddling a tip to Perkins on an alleged plot to “bump him off,” police! sald.
This may tie in with persistent rumors that Perkins: has been “pressured” to soft-pedal his testimony against two prisoners charged with kidnaping and robbing him last March. Gets Anonymous Call Perkins received an anonymous call yesterday afternoon warning him that a Gary gunman and two Indianapolis thugs had been hired to “rub him out.” In return for this information, he was instructed to leave $200 at the Cat's Playhouse, near Perkins’ Exchange at 787 Indiana Ave. At 7 p. m.,, the same caller telephoned again and told Perkins to place $250 in the mail box of School 24 at 908 W. North St. Perkins called police, who advised him to meet the caller's demands. Meanwhile, plainclothesmen loitered vf the school, their eyes cor” A on the mailbox. At 8:30 p. 'm. a 13-year-old girl approached and removed Big Perk’s envelope. She was immediately intercepted by Patrolman Wil liam Denker. ‘Where's Richard? She said she had been sent there by a man named “Richard” who was waiting in the rear of the school. When the officer ae» companied her in the rear yard, she called, “Where's Richard?” Denker said Woodard appeared, then reeled and dashed away, outsprinting him in the pursuit. Big Perk was robbed of $450 and his Lincoln sedan last March by hoodlums who ki him after he left his Indiana Avenue gambling joint. Two suspects were later caught and jailed. Inspector Leo Troutman said Indiana Avenue rumors indicated
to “buy off” Big Perk or pressure] . him against testifying in the kid nap-robbery case.
