yesterday's World, would seea to be the beginning of such a compaign. Of course, there is much contained in this letter which may not interest you, but I have written rather fully with the hope that you will consider as confidential any information not bearing directly on the editorial which you have in mind. I would be very glad indeed to give you more facts and details on this subject if you are interested. Very truly yours, President. CBLee:RH Note: The use of luminous material is not a "Fad*, as pictured by Commissioner Stewart, but has many practical uses. Instruments of all types, alectrical figtares, markers, wateh and clock dials are produced for night utility. Cortainly no one will pay $5.00 extra for a Imminous dialed wrist watch simply because he considers it a j'ad. This is ospecially true when we consider that the luminons treated dial is not as attractive from an artistic standpoint as a non-luminos one - he purchases the watch becanse it Berves him for telling the time when a non-luminous dial would be useless.
