KLEIN 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 committee of General Motors Corpo- 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 ners 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 business. quick), The Democrats can not escape the us yeste fact that their chairman is still the will be John Raskob of the General Motors fuli bunc1 corporation. The party leaders dick- ally wo ered with big business in their des- Iless m perate efforts to secure support on for a pa all sides. They were successful in seat in1 part at least, and as a result Mr. Raskob became the director of the Democratic party's activities in the It's impending political conflict. in'te Raskob's resignation brings about the w one obvious accomplishment-it en- ables him to be temporarily relieved The 0 of his business duties in ordertode- this hot vote his full time to the campaign.
