1957 - 79
Ag and I went to the art store of Ernesto R. Palermo where Helen Braunschweiger's paintings are on exhibit from 5:00 to 7:00P.M. for two weeks. Walter seemed to be in his glory welcoming the invited viewers. Ag and I dined at Charles ala Pomme.
October 29. Alberto sends another translation, copy appended. It appears that this is translated from the French, about which I was never informed. I'll bet, if it were translated from this Spanish version to the English, it wouldn't look much like my original.
To N.Y. and luncheon at Gotham Hotel with Ed Dunning, his associate, Van Meter, and the new President of Opinion Research, Joe Bevis.
To Chrysler Building and the first day of their invitational look-see at the 1958's. Tex Colbert, Bill Flaherty and other Chrysler folks on hand.

Began with a nice luncheon, bean soup ala Ag. Howard Pew served as Chairman in Hutch's absence. The whole afternoon discussion was amiable and evidenced a deep devotion to FEE. A good steak dinner. The evening session discussion was led by Ben Rogge, Dean, Wabash College, and his paper on "Below Cost Pricing in Education." Followed by a lively discussion. Ben only dealt with higher education. "But," some contended, "there had to be a subsidy at some earlier point" and were debating as between the ages of 12 and 16. I ended it by saying that the government should stop intervening at some month in the prenatal period. Recessed at about 9:20P.M.
The New Optimism: "We're 30% ahead of where we will be next year."
November 2. Several of us were at the Motel at 8:00A.M., taking most of the Trustees to Howard Johnston's for breakfast. Beg an session at 9:40, Hutch calling on each one for comments and suggestions. Most of the whole fore noon's talk was on the financing of FEE, the most important part being a resolve on the part of some to do a bit more themselves. Hutch called on Fred Crawford at lunch to tell us about ICBM and "Sputnik" which he did with his incomparable gusto. A fitting end to a good meeting.
Beeman Fisher of Fort Worth arrived before noon, sat in on Board Meeting, joined us at luncheon and after departure of Trustees spent about two hours with me on our forthcoming Texas get-together.

Ag walked 14 holes in the cold and wind while I garnered two pars.
Ben M. phoned about tomorrow.
November 11. TV programs are designed for those in the just above moronic level. It is enlightening to observe how many of us find this fare to our liking. This seems to confirm that civilization, as we know it, is a trans- parent veneer of culture wrapped around a lot of more or less hairless baboons.
Santa Fe obliged with $2,500.
To Canadian Club for lunch with Dick Cornuelle. He is leaving PP at the end of the next month and will locate on west coast, either with some business firm or rejoin Volker.

Phoned me Ag.
To Columbia Club where nearly 60 folks gathered for dinner as guests of Pierre. Bill Book introduced me most generously. The discussion period was spirited and all in good humor.
A dozen of us -- Jim Doenges, Pierre, Al Campbell, Jim Campaigne, Ben Rogge, and so forth -- went to some nice old beer joint. Sat around a large round table and hulled until after midnight. To hay before 1:00 A.M.
November 13. To Claypool Hotel where Annual Meeting of Indiana Consumer Finance Association is getting under way. The local TV station made a sound movie of me whilst I gave off one minute of imperishable wisdom, the item to be on this evening's newscast. Introduced by George T. Hupp, Credit Loans, Inc., La Porte, Ind. Some appeared interested and some I thought were mentally, if not physically, squirming. But probably as good as the mill run.
Enid, Pierre and I drove to their home in Winchester, about 75 miles, where they put on a surprise dinner for me -- Fondue Bourguigonne, and perfectly excellent. I regret that we had to hurry with it. We were at Peoples Loan and Trust by 7:00 where Don Welch had 35 assembled. Talked and answered ques tions until 9:00P.M. The group stayed on for more discussion while Bob and Ray (don't know last names) drove me 60 miles to Dayton for NYC's 11:53 P.M. train for Cleveland.
November 14. Off train at 7:30 and to one of my favorite roosts, the Union Club.
Phoned Bill Dykes at Canton. Was somewhat surprised to learn that Jasper has not completed his foundation fund but told his trustees that he "would do so in a month or two." Apologized again for cancelling my visit to Canton tonight but Bill says the earlier promise of coming accomplished one thing -- "Louise used my visit as the excuse to get her new furniture. "
There were 23 of us at Fred Crawford's luncheon at Club. It came off in first class form, as good as the best -- Fred being tops as a host. 1957 - 83
To M. A. Hanna and call on Morris Bradley, our best contact there. He wants 200 Freeman per month for his company's "Exchange Information List."
On account weather left Cleveland earlier than ticketed, boarding UAL's #301, 5:15 P.M. for Chicago. Stacked over Chicago and one half hour late -- other wise routine.
Dined at MF's Midw~y Restaurant and boarded AA's #33, scheduled 8:35 P.M. (half hour late) nonstop to Dallas.
A good line from Berrill 1 s "Man's Emerging Mind":
"Given any degree of comfort, we still lTike the r.a. baboon~7 relax into lethargy, into that kind of existence said to be enjoyed by a jellyfish float ing in a tepid, tideless, twilight sea."
Landed Love Field at 12:30 A.M. Beeman Fisher to meet me. To Texas Hotel, Fort Worth. To hay about 2:00 A.M.
November 15. Phoned Ag and Janette. Everything wonderful except not much money.
For weeks have been trying to think of a proper sequence for the six Argentine lectures. This morning they came clear:
I The Ideal Concept II Historical Approaches to the Ideal III Causes of Authoritarianism IV Authoritarianism in the World Today V The Fallacy of Removing Authoritarianism Gradually VI Libertarian Means and Methods
. To TESCO and call on Beeman Fisher. We then called on R. K. (Bob) Hanger, the head of a large law firm and V.P. and General Counsel of TESCO. Bob is to introduce me. Also, a session with Emory Cantey of same law firm and an enthu siastic libertarian. Beeman and I lunched at Fort Worth Club.
The evening wing-ding was really something to behold, held at the Will Rogers Memorial Colesium, an enclosure that houses rodeos and the like and perfectly decorated for the occasion. More than 2,000 TESCO employees, spouses, etc. were on hand and dinner served to all in a most efficient manner. I was intro duced by Bob Hanger. Not a one, so far as could be discerned, including the writer, had had a snort. I was in front of the podium by 8:05 P.M. and finished by 8:55. A most attentive audience but how well I "got it across" is indeter minable. Such remarks as c·ame to my ears were favorable but then that can be attributed to Texasmanners. Mimeographed copies of my speech were on hand and liberally taken. J. B. Thomas (President) and Beeman appeared pleased. Marg and Beeman, "Red" Carlson (white-haired sales manager of TESCO) and wife and I went to the private club in this hotel and had snorts and fun-talk until mid night. An oyster stew and coffee by meself in room and to hay. 1957 - 84
November 16. Spent morning in room writing notes on Argentine lectures. Six of these add up to a small book and it will take every spare moment in the I next four months to finish them. Emory Cantey took me to River Crest Country Club where we lunched. He su~e sees to it that I play with good golfers-- Charlie Newman (77), Bill Lanseth ~5) and the Club Pro, George Alexander (74). I stank (92) but had fun.
Jewel, Dr. Ernest Anthony and daughter called for me at 7:30. Went to Western Hills, a good eating place. In roost at 10:30.
November 17. Spent until 1:00 P.M. in room reading and writing. On going to lobby there was a letter from office informing me that !renee du Pont, who already this year sent two $3,000 donations, has sent, by reason of reading my NOTES, 300 shares of Philadelphia National Bank -- about $10,000.
Emory and his wife took me to the Ridgelea Country Club where we had lunch and then I played 9 holes with Gary Laughlin, Earl Parker, who is Club Prexy, and Andrew somebody, a lovely gent and Club Pro. I had a few good shots. Gary is a remarkable lad--Bob Hanger's son-in-law. He was a flyerin Fracas II, trained at Corpus and came out a Marine Captain -- probably there when Len was. He is an oil driller and operates in Africa, Argentina, Chile, etc. -- an aggressive lad, good at whatever he does, including golf and auto racing. Flys a single Bonanza. Parker delivered me to Hotel in his Austin-Healey. What folks!
Beeman called for me at 6:00 P. M. and to his home. There were nine of us for dinner -- the Fishers, Mrs. Fisher's mother, Lib and Red Carlson, Bill and Helen Portwood (TESCO head of operations), Mary Beth Scott, an old gal who is the daughter of the much revered but late Prexy of Texas Christian University. I cooked the dinner with the aid of two black gals, Mamie and Dollie: Steaks pan fried mit cafe beans Argentina, bread aux fromage, green salad, grapefruit with kirsch. The whole mess came off good. To hay about midnight.
November 18. Phoned FEE and got Ruthie, Ag being at Bazaar. Janette had nothing to report.
Lib Carlson called for me at 10:10 and we went to TCU where I had a session with Ike Harrison, Dean, School of Business, and a minor tour about the place.
Lunched with my lawyer friend, Arthur Haddaway, at Petroleum Club.
Beeman, JB, Bill Portwood and I boarded the company's Twin Beech and flew to Wichita Falls. A short stop at Kemp Hotel. To the Student Center of Midwestern University where more than 500 were on hand. Introduced by local headman, a Mr. Hotchkiss. Seemed to go off okay. Speech was liked by my head table seat mate, Joe S. Bridwell, a director of TESCO, a big rancher and a multi-millionaire. The four of us flew back to Fort Worth. In hotel by 11:00 P.M.
November 19. Mr. C. W. Gerie (Goy-ya), Supt. of Power drove me to TESCO's Eagle Mountain plant -- a $30,000,000 outdoor affair and new. Very impressive.
Was given an hour's briefing of the "Gruen Plan, " a most ambitious scheme for the remodeling of downtown Fort Worth, the principal sponsor being J. B. Thomas. The aim is to preserve downtown values. Frankly, I don't like this yet my hosts t are looking for my approval. This is an example of how so few, even business leaders, see the harm in restricting freedom of choice providing something is accomplished which they deem desirable. 1957 - 85
Bill, Beeman and I went to a standup counter in an old grocery and had a delicious barbecued chile sandwich.
The papers announce that the valiant folks at Santa Fe finally signed a union shop agreement. Another distressing sign of our times.
Our foursome left on plane for airport at Breckinridge and were driven 30 miles to Ranger. I sold JB on not making any favorable references at all to REA - which he did in first two speeches. We assembled at the Armory and were most agreeably treated -- just nice Texas folks, about 300 of them. I was intro duced by F. N. Sayre, District Manager, no glamour boy on his feet. Many of these people don't know what I'm talking about. Back to Fort Worth and in room shortly after 11:00 P.M.
November 20. Beeman, bless his generous heart, took off an hour and went shopping with me. He bought me Harrison's "What Man May Be" and took me to a jewelry shop where I bought Ag a couple of "charms."
Vee Winn phoned from Chicago saying that the MacAusland's had accepted Hughston's invitation and that the dinner affair is on for December 8.
Bill, Beeman and I were joined for luncheon at hotel by Joe Hogsett, Chairman, Tarant County Water Commission.
The foursome flew about 200 miles to Sweetwater Airport and drove 30 miles to Colorado City. There were a good 300 in the Civic House. I was introduced by Leroy Zeigler. Began speech with a quote from Goethe which JB mentioned during dinner:
"That which thy fathers bequested thee -- earn it anew if thou wouldst possess it."
Back in my Fort Worth sleeping joint by 11:15. Nary a snort during day or before dinner by anyone, so each evening on getting to room my routine is to order an oyster stew and coffee, snorting while it's on the way. The best sleeping pill ever -- and fun.
November 21. Lunched with Beeman and Irvin s. Farman at Fort Worth Club. Gave Irvin a course in libertarian sprouts. He seems to be a likely prospect.
The foursome, plus Bob Hanger, boarded the Twin-B for Big Springs. JB gave me the following by Edna St. Vincent Millay, from what otherwise, he claims is an inane poem, "Renascense":
The world stands out on every side No wider than the heart is wide: And up above the world the sky No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on every hand: The soul can split the sky in two And let the face of God shine through. 1957 - 86
But East and West will pinch the heart That cannot keep them pressed apart: And he whose soul is flat, the sky Will cave in on him bye/ and bye.
The 230-mile flight routine 1:07. To Hotel Settles, our hold-up for the night. A strong and cold Texas wind blows around this 9th floor corner room and what a loud, howling, lovely noise it is -- as good as an ocean surf.
This evening's affair was held at a new and very tidy club house of some oil company. About 200 really nice folksy Texans were on hand. Bob Hanger gave me a skillful introduction. I would say that most everyone was fascinated with my histrionics and that 8 or 10 were interested in the content -- maybe 25 or 30;anyway it was a pleasant evening, JB and I staying on for awhile but in our room at the Settles by 10:30 P.M.
November 22. Greeted with a white Texas. Following breakfast we drove 40 miles to Midland, a new, fast-growing and wealthy town (60,000) with sky scrapers. After a short visit at TESCO office, Beeman and I went 20 miles on to Odessa (from 9,000 to 70,000 since 1946). Checked in at Hotel Lincoln.
We called at Odessa American for a press interview and then a half-hour with headman of this R. C. Hailes paper, Vern DeBolt, a first-rate oursider.
Was introduced by a Mr. Barclay of local TESCO office to Rotary Club, about 150 present. An unusually good response.
Had a late afternoon hour with DeBolt also, while in his office, a good phone chat with Roy Smith of Pampa. Roy thinks that the ad I wrote for "Modern Age" is too much "pie in the sky" stuff. So I told him to write the next one. He accepted.
There were about 650 at the American Legion Hall for the final in this series. Bob Hanger introduced me again.
Looked like I would have to take the milk train to Fort Worth on account of ~c~ng conditions all day, but at the last hour the Texas skies cleared and we had a wonderful 290 mile flight. Beeman had me to the Hotel Texas by 12:30 A.M.
Appended is a copy of the typical program used at the TESCO six meetings a reminder of an interesting and friendly experience. This is the sort of thing I could not make a practice of but for once it's OK.
A note from Janette reports $1,000 from Harllee Branch of Atlanta. Thought he had forgotten.
November 23. Hieing home for me Ag's birthday. To Amon Carter Field where six of us boarded AA's #84, 8:35 A.M. for the six-minute flight to Dallas (inane) and then scheduled nonstop to Idlewild.
One of the most incredible libertarian thoughts is that the government should not operate lighthouses. The only reason for the incredibility is the permanency \ of the practice. "How could the ships at sea avoid the shoals and the rocks?" 1957 - 87
wail the innocent. "Fancy the risk, the lives that would be lost!" And the shipowners think of their property and the safety that comes from the taxes of landlubbers. Yet, behold all other entrepreneurs -- from the little restau ratuers to the big automakers. Why not government lighthouses to protect them from the rocks of bankruptcy? Or government lighthouses to keep you and me from wrecking on the course in life we have chosen? What brings this to mind? The remarks yesterday of Barney, TESCO's pilot, on the utter uselessness of the Weather Bureau's forecasts for Texas pilots. A private outfit is moving in to fill the bill. This is the germ for an article.
Flight routine but rough. Sam had me home by 4:00 P.M. Found Yur had phoned his Mom from Fresno. ~oak Ruthie, Frannie and Ag to Charles ala Pomme for birthday dinner.
November 24. Had to cancel my part in curling but took Ruthie to St. A to see the matches, briefly. Later I drove Ruthie to Idlewild.
At 3:00 P.M. there were 14 of us who assembled at our shanty for champagne cock tails. My toast was: Ag, Frannie (forgot to include Aunt Ruby) and I just want you folks to know how proud we are of our Jim for snapping off such a sweet little gal as Vicky and making her a part of our family. We went later to the FEE dining room where Martha and John did an excellent dinner for the party. All very pleasant, the guests departing at 7:00 P.M.
November 25. Appended is copy of my invitational letter for Douglas- Griffith Bonspiel.
Phoned Overton, Dallas about December 6 meeting.
Appended is copy of Human Events article on NIB.
November 26. Another day of catching-up routine.
Phoned A. Wilcox expressing Staff's sympathies on the untimely passing of Bill Kleitz, President of Guaranty Trust.
Phoned John Paulus at Firestone, Akron. He will get up a luncheon for me some time during week of January 20. John gave me the first news about Ike. Some mess we are in when a country bobs up and down on the health of one man.
JB, Vicky, Father Marino, Ag and I for dinner -- Frannie being ill enough for us to have a visit from Dr. Ralph Todd.
November 27. The successful person is one who consistently puts on spurts, who with regularity rises above that personal mediocrity best known to himself~ His record is replete with good works that are "over his head." And, he can, at will, give others a better impression of himself than even he possesses. Self esteem, however, will make impossible his spurts and rises and will restore him \ permanently to his natural, more or less simian self.
To N.Y. and offices of Dr. Franz E. Winkler. We lunched for two hours at Mitzi's Jager House, an old Viennese restaurant. Glad to know Winkler. He himself is a Viennese, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and now practices internal medicine. As near as I can figure, he is a thorough libertarian.
Bob Stoddard of Wyman-Gordon sends $1,500. He's a pal. l______THE SAINT ANDREw·s GoLF CLuB HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON NBW YOllK

November 28. I have said on numerous occasions how important to self are obstacles, problems, troubles; that if one were without them some new ones should be contracted. Yes, but the obstacle of itself is no good. It's only its overcoming that matters -- the exercise in bettering it that counts. The problem like the riser on a stairway is only a means of going toward the top.
One possible reason for dictatorship occurred to me for the first time today: Any dictator -- be he a Napoleon or a Capone or a Peron -- is atcnce a man of unusual energy and decision. Being such, all sorts of persons of parasitical bent get on their backs on account the men of energy and decision get things \ done. One cannot go into a huddle with, set up a committee of, parasites. The way to handle those for whom you accept responsibility is to administer authority. 1 The error is twofold: (1) accepting the responsibility for the behavior of others and (2) education of a type that induces the slave psychology. ' One must always be on the lookout for insights. Yesterday, Dr. Winkler spoke of the businessmen who come, with a smile on their face, to see him. Under neath they are troubled and want help. So Doc gets them to tell him everything and, usually, some sort of crime lies at the root of their problem. The mere confession of it, however , seems to be the only pill they need. Thus, it is in other matters. The simple awareness followed by an acknowledgement of a short coming may well be all that is required to effect a cure.
Took Aunt Ruby, Frannie and Ag to Parise's for our Thanksgiving Dinner.
November 29. Phoned Bob Stoddard at Worcester. We will not be able to get together next week.
Beeman Fisher phoned from Fort Worth, just to say "thanks" again.
Lyle Harper, Baldy 's nephew who is a student at Yale, here for day. He is doing his term paper on FEE.
The income month ends today -- roughly a $10,000 loss. Copy of November report to Trustees appended.
November 30. Eddie came all dolled up as a chauffeur to whisk JB and Father Marino away in the Imperial at 8:15. Ag, Frannie, Aunt Ruby and I departed soon after, driving to St. Joseph's in West New York. The marriage and mass service began at 10:15, JB looking every bit the future president of Chase Manhattan and Vicky very pretty. Jack and Marie served as bestman and matron of honor. A really lovely service. On departing for Tappan Hill, the heavens gave of a down pour and the fog was zero-zero. However, all hands safely reached this nice country restaurant (once Mark Twain's home). There was about 90 for the reception dinner, mostly Vicky's family-loving Italian relatives. How they like "Jeem" ! The bride and groom are scheduled for two days at the Canadian Club and a week at the Hotel Ivanhoe, Bal Harbor, Florida.
December 1. My first curling for the season. Dudley, LER #3, Brad Smith 112 and Ira Hawkins #1 defeated Goldthorpe, Seibert #3, Nauss #2 and Bartlett fH, 12-6. My own performance was far better than I had expected it would be.
