SELDOM HEARD OF. BUT HIS NAME MEANT SOMETHING A man seldom heard of, though his name is upon every piece cf paper currency that we handle, W. A. Julian, United States Treasurer, met death in an auto accident some time ago near Bethesda, Md., a suburb of Washing ton. He had been in ofTice since early in the Roosevelt administration. Many of our readers do not know that the Treasurer of the United States, is not the Secretary of the Treasurer, which is a Cabinet position. The de ceased treasurer was 78 years of age, as shown by a driver’s license, though it is said he kept his age well coyered up. He was drafted by Roosevelt to take the posi tion he held to overhaul the Nation’s fiscal system in mid depression. His home was at Rockville, Md.. si out three miles from the scene of the accident, and he was driving alone. He had refused many positions high in the gift of of the Administration and only accepted the one he held as a favor to our ex-President. He was a shoe manufac turer, at one time president of the Queen City Trust Com pany. of Cincinnati, and a director of other banks. All of which goes to show that there are some loyal and patri otic office holders, who do net hold their jobs for publicity, or the salary involved, but to be of service to their coun try, as he only received around $10,000 a year. DAMN THE FACTS AND FULL SPEED AHEAD— BY “LOOK” Now we knowr that LOOK Magazine isn’t even trying to get honest results in its notorious public opinion pedis. In the June 7th issue LOOK comes up with the astonishing announcement that Washington press and radio correspon dents almost unanimously named Robert Taft as the Sen ator “who contributes the most to his country’s welfare.” It takes a lot of gall to unblushingly offer such propa ganda about the man w'ho authored the Slave-Labor Act, who has consistently opposed sound medical insurance, wh* attempted to cut out housing aid to subsistence farmers, and who engineered the Dixie-GOP scuttling of civil rights legislation. LOOK admits it questioned only 100 correspondents . . . probably all carefully hand-picked for the right answers. It is doubtful that LOOK’S warped opinions will do Taft any good in '50. People are a little sceptical of a poll that only six weeks ago had the crust to announce that “Taft Hartley Aims still. popular with workers” in spite of the fact that only 27 per cent of the workers polled favored i the act INVENTIONS that SERVE YOU PHILO T.
