IN DEFENSE OF HALLIBURTON
The Detroit Free Press, in a recent
editorial entitled "This Proves What,"
assails Richard Halliburton on the
grounds that his feats permit romance
to replace realism and practicability.
As a particular example the editor-
ial cites the case of his diving the
other day into the sacrificial well at
the Chichen Itza ruins down in Yuca-
tair, the surface of which is 70 feet
below the ground. It makes mention
of the fact that the feat was per-
formed "in company with representa-
tives of local newspapers and photo-
grapher's."
The editorial then points to the
widespread knowledge Mr. Hallibur-
ton has acquired as the result of his
world travels. It says, in part, "He
has told of his Byronesque ,feat of
swimming the Hellespont, like Lean-
der of old. He went swimming in the
pool at Taj Mahal ii India. He tried
to swim between Scylla and Charyb-
dis, tihose sirens which lured Ulysses."
The editorial then concludes, "If a
young man with his courage and skill
would devote himself to some useful
pursuit, his example to the nation
would be worth more than it is at
present. Mr. Halliburton may plead
romance is dead, that the world has
need of roving figures like himself to
put dash and glamor into their per-
formances. But there are plenty of
other men who have found romance
in business, who have contributed
something more to civilization's pro-
gress than a lot of ballyhoo and head-
long dives into the famous waters of
the globe."
It would s(em that a word ii ide-
fense of Mr. Halliburton is in order.
In the first place the editorial is at

ration, is rather difficult to discern.
If Raskob had severed all connec-
tions with the Gentral Motors corpo-
ration it would have been a different
story. But as it is he has merely
resigned from one of his offices in
that concern, and at the same time Gee, m
is retaining his position as Wice written
president and as a member of the we can
board of directors. Although the think th
newspaper stories seem to convey the And we
impression that Raskob, sensing the better c
necessity of staying with the corpo- most of
ration or directing the tremendous
Democratic campaign, chose definite- I
ly to continue his political work at SIXT
the expense of giving up his General Raf
Motors affiliations, this does not
on rs
truly picture the circumstances. The
be r>
publicity given Raskob's resignation beC
from the finance committee does not
convey to the public the actual con- amou
ditions. Raskob is now as much a

part of the corporation as he ever
was before, but the formality of '
tendering his resignation as chairman
of the important finance committee
was done to impress the public that Oscar,
he was divorcing himself from big going t

The Democrats can not escape the us yeste

Raskob became the director of the
Democratic party's activities in the It's
