(N.Y.-World Telegram)
Whenever politics warms
up. particularly in Presi
dential years, we get a re
emergence of politic ally
minded employers who can
not resist the temptation to
do a little “missionary
work” among their emplo
yees with a view to influen
cing votes.
A case in point was re
vealed by the World-Tele
gram in a recent issue. An
editor of the law publish
ing concern of Frank Shep
art Co., charges the firm
has been engaged in a three
months’ campaign to in
duce its 2-0 or more emplo
yees to enroll in the Amer
ican Liberty League. “Al”
Smith’s recent speech at
tacking the Roosevelt polic
ies is said to have been us
ed in a special effort to
round up the reluctant.
The persuasive “memor
andum" earlier addressed
to the firm's employees by
its president professed to
be a “personal communica
tion in no way involving
this company or your asso
ciation with the company.”
Nevertheless, other offic
ers of the firm are alleged
to have said that joining
the league “means an ex
pression of loyalty to the
company.” One officer is
even quoted as declaring,
“If you don’t join you cer
tainly will not get a raise—
I don’t know whether you
will lose your job.”
Obviously, this kind of
‘persuasion" easily becom
es something very like a
threat and compulsion in
the view of an employee
dependent upon his job. It
is as indefensible as it is
improper. We think every
right minded employer,
however strong his politi
cal likes or dislikes, should
lean over backward in a
voiding even the sugges
tion of influencing the votes
of his employees.
The best advice to employ
ers contemplating any such
move, however, cautious, is
“Don’t.”

Framed into fame! That’s a
strangely paradoxical situation
for a person to find himself in—
it is difficult to think of the words
■fame" and “frame" in a recipro
cal relationship. Yet, it is the
plau ible. if novel, state of affairs
that the hero of “Deception,”
Columbia film, showing Friday at
the Dream Theatre, is thrust into.
The hero we speak of is Nat
Pendleton, a stalwart screen play
er, most recently seen in “By
Whose Hand?" Unaware that he
has won his renown under false
pretenses, he wears the raiments
of false glory not wisely, but too
well. Dazzled by fame, he is
easy prey for women. It is not
long before he is dizzied by a
dame—and that is the beginning
of his journey down. But he lik
ed sitting on the top too well to
take his fall as a matter of fact .
. . . and therein lies the tale
that takes Nat Pendleton and the
rest of the cast of “Deception”
through several reels of surprise
action The featured role is play
ed by Leo Carrillo.
