Perhaps, though, Mr. Williams has missed the point. No sane person ever thought that $50,000,000 could solve the problems of five to six million unemployed youths.

Client Rogers' trusted insurance man was immaculate, grey-templed John J, Kemp, broker to many a stage & screen star, member of the Million-Dollar Club, each of whose members sells $1,000.000 of insurance annually. Into successful Insuranceman Kemp's Manhattan office last week marched two detectives to arrest him for forgery and grand larceny. Sighed Prisoner Kemp: "I've been expecting this for seven years." Last year he had received an insurance dividend check for $1,524.51, payable to Mrs. Will Rogers...
