TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [270], ..., San Francisco, Calif., who seeks advice, and guidance, for his physical condition and material affairs. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [270]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Do you find my body in as good physical condition as that found before?
   (A) In some respects, better; in others, not so well. The anxieties and aggravations which have been experienced through the mental forces of the body have naturally tended to upset, and to give impulses in the physical functions for irritations, where those disturbing conditions have existed heretofore. Thus, some of these show inclinations that are not so well.
   There should be more precaution, then, as to keeping a better mental attitude, or a more constructive attitude, even under adversity; and keep the exercises and the eliminations better.
5. (Q) Should the use of ointment for glandular disturbance be resumed?
   (A) It should.
6. (Q) And shall the same formula and ingredients be used, including the Benzoin?
   (A) The same formula that has been indicated, as we find, will aid. [See 270-41, Par. 8, 14-A and 270-42, Par. 4-A.]
7. (Q) Does the body need a vitamin to help revitalize its energy?
   (A) More of the vitamins as may be had in the sunshine are the better.
8. (Q) What is the condition of the hair and scalp? If treatment is necessary, state the formula and ingredients.
   (A) The same character of treatment as we have indicated will be the more helpful, to keep a stimulation to the scalp, and to aid in a better glandular reaction to the thyroids.
   Thus, we find that ADIRON would be most helpful for the body. Take two tablets each day at mealtime in regular routine for five days; leave off three days; then take for five days again, and so on.
   Also we would use the massage of the Crude Oil into the scalp, cleansing same with a weak solution of grain alcohol (alcohol in water, to be sure), and then stimulating with the White Vaseline.
9. (Q) Has ample time elapsed for removal of balance of body blemishes, and should Dr. Ingels do this work?
   (A) Not quite sufficient time; neither has there been the segregation sufficient for this - owing to the upsets.
   As we find, within the next six to eight weeks should be the right time, IF those things are adhered to as we have indicated, - for the general welfare as well as specific activity for the glandular forces and eliminations.
10. (Q) Plant Accounting work has now been returned to San Francisco. With it I was moved from the Plant Dept. to the Division Auditor's office. You will now review the new conditions, my surroundings, and advise me concerning my approach, personal contacts, handling of force and work assigned to my supervision.
    (A) As we find, while this has not been altogether satisfactory, and the changes that have been brought about bring some little anxiety, if there is the carrying on in the way and manner as has been designated and is the rule and order of such activities, this will eventually work out to the advantage for the body. But some of these things are those warnings which were indicated for the body time and time ago. But carry on in those ways and manners that are in keeping with the policies of the organization at the present.
11. (Q) Will this change in company policy, organization methods, prove satisfactory to the Plant and Division Auditor?
    (A) EVENTUALLY; but there will be some upsets and some little changes back and forth. Don't allow self to become entangled in argumentations about same.
12. (Q) Will my efforts in this new capacity be satisfactory to the Division Auditor and the New York officials?
    (A) Be satisfactory to the Division Auditor and to the New York officials, if the policies are carried on as they have been and are being outlined respecting same.
13. (Q) May real cooperation be expected from the Plant Dept. and the bureau in the Division Auditor's office that I will contact?
    (A) These as we find, with some little minor changes as will come up, will eventually prove satisfactory.
14. (Q) State the basis of the Accounting Department's presumed objections to me as Plant Accountant at San Francisco?
    (A) As we find, there is not an objection in the sense of there not being the abilities, but rather the being in the position to transfer the body to other activities that may be a part of the development through the changes that have been wrought.
15. (Q) What actuated the New York Plant Vice President's refusal to allow me to remain in the Plant Dept. at San Francisco?
    (A) This is rather a part of policy of those things being changed, and should be accepted and not pried into.
16. (Q) Is there likelihood of my being transferred back to the Plant Dept. in the near future where it is felt I can render a greater service to the Telegraph Co.?
    (A) If it is so it will be in other cities, as we find; and as has been indicated, this has been left in this manner in a way that the body can be EASILY transferred in other capacities in other plants, - as has been indicated would eventually come about.
17. (Q) Is it preferable that I accept the present situation and await developments, or at this time exercise my plant seniority?
    (A) As has been indicated, it is preferable to accept same.
    These will eventually work out to the best advantage.
18. (Q) Will the present Division Plant Superintendent at San Francisco retire from active service upon reaching the age limit in 1941; and will his successor be a San Francisco man?
    (A) We find that it will be rather a little bit later, and not just at that time; and will depend a bit upon other developments that are in the making, as we find in the present, because there will be many changes wrought in all of the activities in '41 and '42. [World War II?]
19. (Q) Will the Companies named in the F.C.C. report to the Senate be unified into one communication corporation in 1940, or 1941?
    (A) This is still a problem, and will depend upon the activities or the mental reactions of individuals. And this is NOT fully determined in the mind of any MUST YET, as we find. But as has been indicated, this is the EVENTUAL activity in which there will be a unification of the communication lines. This will not necessitate each of those losing in the first few years their individual identity in the organization, but there will be more of a cooperative way, through centralized activity.
20. (Q) You will now outline the effect this amalgamation will have upon my personal status, both present and future.
    (A) As has been indicated, this will depend upon how great the changes, and how much difference will be made. It is not yet set so specifically as related to one individual. POLICIES must be adhered to. Individuals with the long service and standing, - all such will be worked out gradually, you see. Hence, as indicated, hold to that in which the direction has come for the entity, and follow the policies without entanglements.
21. (Q) Should consideration be given at this time to the application of a pension, under the employees benefit fund, and then seek supplementary livelihood?
    (A) This as we find had best be left for another six months to twelve months.
22. (Q) Should this come to pass, is it not advisable that my wife and I return to Chicago, or should we remain in San Francisco?
    (A) When this comes about, the return as we find would be the more advisable.
23. (Q) Will I be successful in closing the estates of my mother and brother, removing each from the Probate Court in Chicago in October 1940, as discussed with attorney McCabe?
    (A) As we find, this will eventually be closed. Whether it will be just in 1940, in October 1940, - this again will depend upon the activities and decisions that have not been personally reached; and these are the WILLS of individuals. Not wills in testaments, but wills as to activities, see?
24. (Q) Am I correct in presuming that after this has been done, it will be possible to place a mortgage on the Chicago real estate to pay up back taxes?
    (A) This may be done.
25. (Q) Should this loan be applied for through Schneider & Company, Chicago, or the Bank of America, San Francisco?
    (A) In Chicago.
26. (Q) Can a reduction in the total amount of taxes due be obtained from the Cook County Tax Collector by reason of lump sum settlement?
    (A) Adjustments, as we find, may be made.
27. (Q) Is attorney John R. McCabe the proper individual to handle the negotiations and settlement?
    (A) As we find, very satisfactory.
28. (Q) Is there anything further that should be given me, pending future contact here, for my guidance in the conduct of my personal and material affairs?
    (A) As we find, much might be put into expression as to the various phases; but if all of these are analyzed as to that which answers to the better influences within the individual, it will be seen that these are directions that may be worked out to most satisfactory ends.
29. We are through for the present.
