Houston, Jan. 17 — (TP) — Jesse Jones has been many things—fi nancier, cabinet member, newspa per publisher—-and now at 77 he’s written a best selling book—and touched of a storm of controversy. Jones refuses to join the pro and con argument over “Fifty Billion Dollars.” the position. He came to his real estate and publishing holdings here, and quietly, with the aid of Edward Angly, veteran newspaper man, began his memoirs. Jones said he did not hate Roose velt. “It is no secret that Jesse Jonel- came to hate the man he helped put in the White House after Franklin D. Roosevelt divested him of his cabinet post as Secretary of Commerce.” r '■ ptrt Liked Roosevelt Newspaper Comment "I lose my head every time see a man in an Arroiv Shirt!” ARROW PAR widespread soft collar “I wrote it without any idea of politics,” he says, “and I won’t comment.” Seven Printings “Fifty Billion Dollars,” the book Jones and the late Ed Angly wrote of the 13 years Jones headed the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion has had seven printings and 35,000 copies of the $6 edition have been sold.

W.S.D CLOTHIERS Bryan College “threw a literary bombshell” with the book. From the editorial com ment of the nation’s press, it looks like he did. “Hoarded hatreds,” an “embit tered, sulking” old man, “still hun gry for power” thundered some of the editorials. “Must reading for students of American history,” “a fascinating story” said others. Hundreds of Reviews The editorials that roasted Jones generally conceded he had some good points to make about the RFC, but they said his comments on Roosevelt were tinged with deep bitterness over being replaced in his cabinet post. And the Newark, N. J., News commented: “Humility is not one of the characteristics of the man who presided over the Reconstruc tion Finance Corporation in one capacity or another until Presi dent Roosevelt shocked him out of his job and out of his notion of indispensibility, but sensitivity to any sort of criticsm is a marked Jones trait and to any one who clashed with him Mr. Jones is quick to ascribe low motives.” .

His memoirs have aroused a controversy of comment. Most of the editorials which took him' to task as a man bitter at be ing fired from the cabinet singled out two incidents in the book. These were Jones’' statements that Roosevelt was a “total politician” and that the late president was “eager to have the U. S. enter World War II to insure a third term.” A year ago the Department of Industrial Education was authoriz ed to initiate a curriculum in in dustrial technology which is refer red to as Group III in the 75th general catalog. “The express purpose of the new program is to prepare graduates fpr industry in the departments of production, safety, industrial and human relations, personnel, maintenance and installations, and other allied positions,” Dr. C.
