Q
in letting me go* Rather, as he put it, he let me gowas the result of
a big mistake." The big bum never told me that,nor ever gave me the
slightest hint as to why he let me out. I still think it was office
politics which he finally saw through, and of course he wouldn't admit
his error to me. Anyway, I again have a satisfactory connection and feel
pretty good toward all my old friends in the Pacific. The only thing that
directly
worries me a bit is the fact the people I am/working for, being adver¬
tising people, may expect the impossible in the way of newspaper publicity.
They are accustomed to dealing with magazines where they walk in with a
$100,000 or $200,000 advertising account in one hand, and an article they
want printed, in the other. Of course with the magazines they get what
they want, as they handle more travel advertising than any other agency in
the world. But with newspapers it's different, as you know. The writing
political
end is not primarily my concern. My part is mostly/contact work, but the
publicity is an important part of the whole scheme and I am just a little
concerned as to how it will work out. However, I feel confident everything
will be all right and it will be a very good connewtion. William Athhrton
Du Puy is in the office with me and I am sure the two of us can more than
meet any reasonable demands.
We opened this office officially on June 15 and I resigned from
NRA effective that date. However, for a couple of weeks before th4t I
did nothing at NRA except clean up a few things I xu had been working on
irw^7.-fc^Twrpi±taw¥»Tg7:wCT!grgtgxx which couldn't very well be turned over to
others.
I don't suppose there's any chance you will again be in Washington
this summer. It's been hot as hell and will get hotter and certainly would
not recommend the place to anybody. But if you should be going through
Offices NEW YORK • WASHINGTON • SAN FRANCISCO • LOS ANGELES • HONOLULU
