boofzs sevekat beet tong, became one o6 the bibles o6 the OSS and must also be in yautt
libi.att.y.
My )Leas on 4on pnesening these 4j acts is to pnov,ide evidence o4 an admittedly obsolete
past expvttise in your complex pno6ession, to the and that my theory bon hetp].ng the
pneeeJit 4,i..iua-tLon might ccuvty a bit move weight.

There atte obv.iou.5ty at least two 6oZut-i6ns hanging ,in the a-itt: one, so change the
enabling teg,istation covering CIA on -W suceessoA that 6ututt.e abuses Witt not occur;
and two, hark back to Seeutetaxy StLrnpson in a nevetto Lon to the old church meeting and
v.ultually abolish alt t.nte Lgenee activities.
The most .i.rnpo)ttant necessity would appear to be the pnobtem o4 trying to keep the
pendu.l.um 6nom swinging so 6aiL that America becomes eyeless and ea4ttess in an un{niendfy
would gull oj maasive .ivzte tigenee systems.
It would appear that a determined and pnobabty success we. e44o)rt might be made at this
point to assure that nejjorm and not destruction resweted from the present situation.
The public, stilt tangety ,ignorant eoneeAni.ng the neat necessity bon -Lntele,igenee

conceiuLing the numerous nations that have been ushered o46 the woted'z stage because
they lacked an e44ective .intelligence senv-ice. The examples cute numerous: Even a hint
o' what ,the. Thebavus were planning to do in the Battle o6 Leuela wou,td have enabled the
Spat .ans to avoid the vl disastrous defeat by an army which 6rom a man to man standpoint
was grossly ,in6enion.. A two page .Lnte -Lgenee ttepont on the Macedonia phalanx would

Every U.S. PxesLdewt 4Lnce Theodore Roosevett (who was one o4 the greatest oxatons o6

and appeared at its meetings.
In the past two summetrs at Dun annual Washington, V. C. Conventions, a good peneentage
o{y the outstanding .eeadetrs in our nation in both mayor po.2LtLeae patties, and in many
other facets o4 American # L e, those who nun our nation and those who en teA tc .Ln it.,

not a sect the ground sweees oA American pubfi.e opinion.
Drew Peatuson was o{ten quoted to the e&et that hew things to the U.S. could a64ect
a pens on's or a cause's pub2.ic image move than an appearance designed to take advan-
tage o' the wei d-ey e&ctLve. "mutt p(.ying audience" at an IPA summer Convention.
Peatison te,et so ztttongty about this that, despite the fact that he was a ~anattic
non-jo~;zer, he, in the eight yeatcs be4ore his death, made at ..east two #onmat
prey u~tcct%ons (one a speech and the other a moderator o6 an tmpo/Utant pane- dis cost on)

Those organizations sBattened thtc.oaghout the U.S. whose pi ncip are our IPA
members and whose programs are .in(.2uenced by appearances at the IPA Convention
include executives clubs, chambers o6 commence, eotteges, schoot , forums, women's
clubs, .s ervice e-eubs, 6o'e.ign a~6attrs counci s, associations, town hates, and, in
tcact every type o6 organization which boobs speahetrs be6otte zo-caeted "captive"
audience, s.
The 6ac t that thus e program cha.ittmen pay many mLeLLons o5 dottatrs in Sees every yeast
to speakers they seteet to appear becore their memberships has resulted in the 't. using
outs IPA summeA Convention and outs magazine, TALENT, (the o64tc,Lut ha.ee. organ o5 the
Arnvucan teettvte system) as p/o6essionat props to help them decide what natLonat
6yigutes and ideas on the Ame i can scene s houtd be presented to these home audiences.
They come to Washington motivated by the jaet that the IPA, in its summer Convention
puts on the most distinguished and nationally signi6icant programs and speakers o6
any orgy;v zation in the nation. (See enclosed pttognam o6 .last summer's IPA Convention.)
A.etlzough other 4aetors are obvious.2y o4 pcvtamount interest to one in you& position,
one reason why so many speakez6 oj5 top stature appear at the IPA Convention is the
6act that' the program chairmen present in otua audience, and those who head TALENT
fagazi.ne, cont&ot a sub.tantiat percentage of a2t the multi-mit..Uon do.ela. budgets
o5 the Ametc,ican Lectwte P2at0orm. This tnva/u;abey makes the appe.cvtance o5 any good

This wh,,'i_Ung eutc2e is {ue2ed by the weU-known examp.2es oi5 many national. {figures
who, once making appeati.ances 4/.ee or j5o/t tow ~ees, have found that, a4ter an IPA

can make .is to not recognize eanty enough that a di.st.Lngui hed name can easLey and
sw.L6tey be converted into hundreds o4 thousands of do.J..cucs on an easy pwrt-time bas-L.
-L the process is started white, and not a(tet, the .Lnd.iv.Ldua.2 reaches the height of

Mt &uchwa.ed, who ,is. appew Lng 'or the second time this s ummeL at ouA convention, .LS a

our convention does not count). At $3, 500 pen speech (plus expen es) thus bra i.ngs in'
$90,000 extra pelt year tend actuaUy helps him with hLs column.
In his enceosed piece on the IPA')s unique natLonae impact, which showed, wcetheA they

.c.s a66ected by Ame -Lean pubLLc opinion, -drew Pewzton makes the point that news ,its spread

in Milbury, Massachusetts and launched the most effec-
tive medium for influencing public opinion any nation
has ever had, the tens of thousands of audiences in
thousands of cities and towns that comprise the Ameri-
can Lecture Platform. It has never been as powerful as it
is now and its influence is growing daily.
Webster's idea spread so rapidly that five years
later the AMERICAN LYCEUM ASSOCIATION was
formed under his aegis to unite the various units that had
sprung up all over the nation.
The thousands of statesmen, politicians, and busi-
nessmen who have formulated U. S. public and private
opinion over the last one hundred forty-five years owe _
their influence and contribution largely to these audi-
ences of millions of Americans that have, since 1826,
been set up all over our nation eager and ready to hear
them and be influenced by their theories and arguments.
The greatest single impetus to the growth of the
"Lyceum" resulted from efforts to schedule an American
lecture tour for Charles Dickens, the English author. His
representative had contacted a Boston journalist, James
Redpath, who established the first lecture bureau in
America one hundred and three years ago.
This first lecture bureau presented such speakers
and concert artists as Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emer-
son, Julia Ward Howe, Josh Billings, Henry Ward Beech-
er, P.T. Barnum, and other leaders in the political, busi-
ness, entertainment, and concert fields of those days.
The International Lyceum Association, founded in
September 1903 took over where the American Lyceum
Association left off and in 1952 was reincorporated under
its present name as THE INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM
ASSOCIATION. It is the oldest international association
in the United States, going back in its ancestry over one
hundred forty-five years. It has always been the club and
sounding board of those interested in the power of the
spoken word and has had on its membership rolls an
appreciable percentage of all the great names of our
American heritage.
Those early guests plus later IPA members such as
Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, William
Howard Taft, Herbert Hoover, John Kennedy, Lyndon
Johnson, William Jennings Bryan, Nelson Rockefeller,
Carl Sandburg, Harry Truman, J. Edgar Hoover, Hugh -
Downs, Woodrow Wilson, "Dear Abby" Van Buren, David
Brinkley, Victor Borge, Art Buchwald, Lowell Thomas,
Barry Goldwater Otto Preminger, Winston Churchill,
Ralph Nader, Jack Anderson, Dr. Walter Alvarez, Averell
Harriman, President Gerald Ford, Hubert Humphrey,
Betty Furness, Art Linkletter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
Walter Lippman, Rex Harrison, Hal Holbrook, Drew Pear-
son (and a host of others in the fields of statesmanship,
business, oratory, the theatre, the movies, and entertain-

ment) have bequeathed a portion of their greatness to
their associates, living and dead, in what our members
feel is the most interesting organization in our nation.
We have members who have been coming to our meet-
ings for over fifty years.
Theodore Roosevelt and all succeeding U. S. Presi-
dents have been IPA members, as have a good percent-
age of the most influential members of the U. S. Senate
and many state governors, cabinet officers, and foreign
ambassadors accredited to the United States who are
on IPA rolls.
Each year hundreds of the top political figures and
orators of our nation, the Platform people who belong to
the IPA, appear before colleges, forums, school assem-
blies, conventions, concerts, executive and women's
clubs, service clubs, and industrial association audi-
ences. Anywhere and everywhere that audiences of any
kind convene there are IPA members not only on the
Platform but in the audience, functioning as program
chairmen or just listening.
IPA President and Membership Chairman Lowell
Thomas has said, No other medium can compare with
the Platform."
One privilege of membership is the opportunity to
attend the annual five-day assemblage in Washington,
D.C. where the most outstanding personalities and pro-
grams seen anywhere in this country are presented in an
atmosphere where, with only IPA members being ad-
mitted, an extraordinary volume of top level "off-the-
record" conversation takes place. Here the top states-
men of both parties, time-honored orators, TV, radio, and
newspaper personalities and celebrities from many fields
find memories. Hopeful beginners find counsel and help
and patrons and program chairmen find new talent and
everyone finds enjoyment.
The top echelon of our nation in many different
fields meet for five days of fun, recreation, fellowship
and reunion, and genuine relaxation after a strenuous
en-
during friendships workshops previews, admPation one elicit the
other.
THE INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM ASSOCIATION
is not only the professional association of the American
program chairman and of those who belong to organiza-
tions that put on programs for their members, but in fact
of all persons interested or engaged in the lecture, con-
cert, TV, radio, newspaper, and entertainment fields. It is
the organization of those interested in the power of ora-
tory and of the spoken word.
For over a hundred and forty years IPA member-
ship has included many of the most distinguished men
and women of our nation in every field. If one thing about
the IPA can be pinpointed as most valuable to its unusual
membership, it is the fruitful and lasting friendships de-
veloped at high level across ordinarily inaccessible pro-
fessional and geographic boundaries.
Membership is limited to persons recommended for
membership whose applications are approved by our
Membership Committee and by our Board of Governors.
Any questions concerning IPA's status or reputation
can be referred to the Heights Chamber of Commerce
(Cleveland and Shaker Heights, Ohio) or Gale's Encyclo-
pedia of Associations.

The pictures and articles in this
Convention edition of Talent Maga-
zine reflect the scope and timli-
ness of the speeches at the 142nd
Annual Congress of the Interna-
tional Platform Association which
was held in Washington, D. C.
July 29 - August 2, 1974. As
space permits these topics which
will be the theme of speeches all
across America and indeed around
the world in the coming year, will
be printed verbatim.
The 1300 people who came from
every corner of America, and some
other countries, who attended are
the pivots of community life in
America - the Program Chair-
men, Bureau Managers, and Club
President who make these five
dramatic days' in Washington a
guidepost for Platform perform-
ances they will book before their
own audiences in the next year.
While the excitement of the IPA
Convention is incidental to the
nitty gritty of placing the great
issues of the day in perspective
for the man on the platform and
the managers and committees that
keep him there, the Convention
for the past two years has been
the high spot of Washington's
summer season and our members
will be telling their grandchildren
about our recent Convocation
where government, big business
and public trust officials laid their
wares on the doorstep of public
opinion.

As the nation enters the decade
faced with solving our energy
problems the oil industry, the
Atomic Energy Commission, and
the Institute of Environmental
Studies have or will be writing
and speaking at the International
Platform Convention and in Talent
Magazine. Dr. Ernest Sternglass,
head of radiation, The University
of Pittsburg reduced the whole
question of nuclear power as a
major source of energy to 1 rad
and one of your lung cells in the
last issue of Talent, (Volume 81,
No. 3 (June, 1974).
Always looking at, both sides of
every question The IPA invited
Dr. V. P. Bond, M.D., Brookhaven
National Laboratory to speak on
this subject in opposition to Dr.
Sternglass at the Convention. A
summary of his speech at the 1974
Convention is on page 34.
In this issue Dr. Dixy Lee Ray,
head of the Atomic Energy Com-
mission takes a look at the Nu-
clear Power question and states
that by 1980 per capita, demand
for -electricity could double our
1970 consumption, and minimizes
the `danger" factor of reliance on
nuclear power to meet this need.
Speaking on two fronts simul-
taneously, Z. D. Bonner, Chairman,
Gulf Oil Corporation, stressed that
cooperation is the s:ingle most im-
portant criteria needed for the
country to reach a reasonable de-
gree of self-sufficiency in our ener-
gy needs by 1980. Charging that
political rather than. economic de-
cisions dominate under govern-
ment regulation, Mi Bonner point-
ed out that the total capital needs
of the oil industry are somewhere
between $600 billion, and a trillion
dollars through 1985. He put this
in perspective for our listeners at
the Convention by stating that the
entire cost of the Apollo ]Project ---
from inception through the moon-
landing --- was in the range of $2.5
billion. His thoughts on the trends

Speaking Creatively
IT WAS A SMASH!
By Joseph C. Bauer
There is a great deal of satis-
faction after accomplishing a dif-
ficult job. The feeling that I have
after the Creative Programming
Institute is terrific! I must say that
it was one of the most enjoyable
(and hectic) activities in which I've
ever been involved.
To all those who attended the
Creative Programming Institute,
participants and panelists, I must
say `Thank you" most sincerely
for making it all work.
The secret of success is always
in communication, and the cooper-
ation and enthusiasm I had from
every person involved was really
what allowed the institute to be
such a smash. For months ahead
of time messages were flying back
and forth across the United States
by telephone and letter, and it
was a great feeling to have it all
come together at the Convention.
Many times the platform business
can be discouraging, but the com-
ments from all the delegates were
so gratifying it seems we've made
history. A big "Thank you" also
goes to all those who took the
time and trouble sending me let-
ters of congratulation and grati-
tude.
The most common complaint
during any convention is that the
time invested in workshops doesn't
return a big enough dividend.
Seems most people feel a lack of
solid information and too much
rambling rhetoric is the main in-
gredient in most "workshops".
However, the enormous amount of
solid and practical information
provided by our panelists, certain-
ly gave everyone more creative
and usable ideas than could pos-
sibly be assimilated.
The red C. P. I. folders we pro-
vided made such a hit - they were

WHO HAS BEEN THE ROUNDS
By Eileen M. Hall, Chairman
Convention Previews
July 29 through August 2 (1974
IPA Convention days in Washing-
ton, D. C.) was a wow of a week
on all counts. One of the least
publicized features of any IPA
Convention and one of the most
enjoyable is the after hours REN-
DEZVOUS (10 p.m. 'til ... ) where
a stage and all the trappings of a
nightclub setting act as a catalyst
for talent - some new, some spe-
cial, and all vicing for the honor
of walking away with new con-
tracts and/or new performance
heights. Here the Agents, Talent
Buyers, new talent, special attrac-
tions, and Program Chairmen meet
one another in a relaxed, sociable
and friendly atmosphere.
The Park Ballroom festivities on
Monday evening where Dan Tyler
Moore traditionally welcomes the
guests and invites Jeane Dixon to
cavort with her stars was packed
with new entertainment which had
been, in the case of Miss Louisiana
anyway, a part of the opening day
special attractions. Sparking the
RENDEZVOUS hours all week
were many splendid performers,

and the notable RUDY VALEE
show took us right back to the
huge Park Ballroom to accommo-
date the unusually large turnout
of the IPA membership. Many of
the professionals involved in open-
ing day festivities were judges for
the new talent competition (see
top 5 on page 58). For further in-
formation about the following
artists please write to them di-

BOB CAHLMAN and his EXITS
& ENTRANCES gave our Conven-
tioneers something they had never
seen before and something they
will remember and talk about for
many moons. Bob presented a vast
array of authentic original cos-
tumes worn by Hollywood and
Broadway Stars, many of which
brought misty tears of nostalgia
to some of our members who could
`remember when'.

themselves, and modelled by the

SUCCESS
The I97~ Art Show was a well
attended area as well as a most
handsome exhibition.
Everything went well together
despite the wide range of tech-
niques. When a well-known and
good artist corners you to say nice
things about. the show., completely
unsolicited, you know that this is
aa_ fins' exhbition_ Compliments
such as, "There are a. number of
quality works here, 11 am really
enjoying this show" "Many of
these artists I have not heard of,
but they interest nie." Emil Wed-
dige is the one who believed he
could hang, all members work and
still have a beautiful exhibition as
tang as cac_n member would send
his best work, work that the artist
was proud of.
The artists program included
ilerbert Sarborn (Library of Con-
,r t ss) who spoke on Prints and
C'otnrs_ Through his slides he traced
the evolution of print, making.
Some of the prints in the Library's
collection are so old and fragile
they cannot be moved. Only in
slides can we appreciate them. He
spoke of knowing Weddige's work
and on having bought Weddige's
lithographs for the Library's col-
lection 20 years ago-
Karl ' y in he week Emil Wed-
dige had given a tall: with an
Indiana IIniiversitv's film showing
the process at lithography includ-
ing Weddige in his studio working
with his press. The various steps
needed for a multicolored print is
an exacting but rewarding task.
The tour to the Freer Gallery
was another nteresting event. Our
guide pointed out early Chinese
ceramics and bronzes showing how
to tell the earlier ones from the
later. When we asked our guide
to speak to us at the Sheraton
next year, his answer was a firm,
"No, the terms of Mr. F'reer's will
specifies we may not remove trea-
sures from this building nor even
show the slides of them". Some
IPA'ers may want to repeat this
pilgrimage next year.
Agnes Brodie, one of the Art
Show jurors, gave us a demon-
stration of Silk Screening. It looked
so easy, the final product was a
clear cut abstract, in two colors.
As different the screen looked
from its result as the caterpillar
is to the butterfly.
Another talk was given by Gene
Baro, the art critic of the Wash-
ington Post, in Today's Art Market.
In spite of the frosty atmosphere
of the airconditioning, he held his
audience in rapt attention tell-
ing of the unpredictability of thi'
taste of today's buyer.
Domenico Facet, President of the
Audubon Club gave a demonstra
tion oif clay portraiture. He is a
wizard in making a clump of clay
turn into a life-like head in. 30
minutes. Lowell Thomas was a
great model, he posed on a stool
calm and serene while several
hundred people watched and the
band played on --- quietly and with
respect for artist and subject.
-James Winer, sculptor and arch
itectural designer showed slides o;
his shopping centers where the,
usual qualities of stability, eri.clo
sure and permanence are modi
fied. Sidewalks laid ripple on long
pose, chimneys are built as if they
are decomposing at the base. He
is a true iconoclast always search
ing new ways to make urban
neighborhoods less pompous and
fenced in.
Rita Soloway, an able portrait
painter, helped raise funds for art
awards by sketching portraiits
Chances were sold and the winners
posed on the spot for a signed
sketch by Rita. Admirers and k::ib-
bitzers watched the magic as if by
Polaroid. She did a gallant number
of sketches.
About the auction: Too many
activities -- we did not have the
proper crowd - few works were
sold. There were lovely things'that
sold too low. Other very nice things
that were never put. up for bidding
were returned to the donors -- an
auction during a lull is our best
chance, if lull there could be.

One happy item -- Glee Martin
and Max Fenhy were married
September 7th. They had a small
wedding at the Zion Lutheran
Church in Cadillac Michigan. Max
is a Conservation Officer. Glee is

Cordella 'Treece, President of
the Toledo Artist Club, is one of
our resourceful members with ex-
perience. She and her husband,
Robert Treece, are a joy to work
with. There are many others we
wish we could name also. To
all of those capable people who
made the Art Show a success many
thanks for their important help.

Special Watergate Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski addresses the IPA at annual banquet on July 31, 1974, a few days before President
Nixon's resignation. Seated at upper speaker's table starting at extreme left is Eileen Hall, IPA Governor and Previews Chairwomen,
who picks the platform talent that is to appear each year; Archibald Roosevelt a third generation IPA member, both his grandfather,
Theodore Roosevelt and his father Archibald Roosevelt were members; Dan T. Moore, Director General of IPA; Jaworski; Dan T. Moore,

seeking admission to the lecture and
entertainment world. New talent is
screened by booking agents and by the
hundreds of fathers and mothers in our
audience of IPA members.
"Their reaction heavily influences the
type of talent who will address your chil-
dren and your children's children. The
convention previews are the largest single
source of new talent for school assembly,
club and celebrity programs."
The power of the spoken word is
tremendous. It is the face-to-face con-
frontation among the millions that molds
public opinion, and which determines to
a great extent the news that comes out
through the television tube or over the
network wires of our newspapers.
The late Drew Pearson, prominent if
controversial newspaper analyst and col-
umnist, speaking of this great influence
once said, "The effect of such conversa-
tion is enormously enhanced if one
participant is respected and can state
that he or she actually saw and heard a
certain national figure face to face, or
even talked to a person who saw him."
Pearson further said, "The U.S., where
everything is packaged for convenience
of the consumer, is the only nation that
has not only packaged this critically im-
portant high level talk, and influence,
and rumor mechanism, but has even pack-
aged a massive trade association with
close to 10,0(K) (the number today will
greatly exceed that number) members to
effectuate it."
In 1969, when Drew Pearson made the
above statements, he estimated that more
than 65,000 appearances before audiences
emerge every year throughout the U.S.
out of the IPA Annual Congress and its
membership. It is safe to say that many
more appearances are every year through
IPA sponsored activity.
The highlight of each year's activities,
the Annual Convention, is held in
Washington, D.C. at the Sheraton Park
Hotel in late July and early August. Atten-
dance is limited to IPA members, is well
represented and highly publicized.
The five-day Convention not only pro-
vides the most outstanding personalities
and programs to be seen anywhere, but it
also presents them in an atmosphere
where, with only IPA members being
admitted, furnishes a volume of top level
"off-the-record" conversation that adds
an immense impact to the gathering. There
numerous top statesmen, TV, radio and
newspaper greats and entertainers and
artists who rank high in their professions
mingle with the crowd.
In the midst of such an awesome as-
semblage, the new and unknown members
find a never before realized experience,
where they find counsel and help, see and
talk with people few outsiders are privi-
leged to meet, and enjoy themselves
thoroughly in many other ways.
The latest Annual Convention provided
the usual distinguished list of speakers
and entertainers. In addition, many social
events and workshops were held, where
audiences wholly composed of IPA mem-
bers, listened, learned and enjoyed the
privilege of mingling with such well known
men and women.
A favorite activity with newer members
is the tour of the city. This takes the
visitors past Watergate, the White House,
Embassy Row and guided tours of
Kennedy Center, the Islamic Center and
the magnificent new Gothic Cathedral.
Chairman for the 1974 tour was Shirley
Duncan.
To present the program for the entire
five days would he beyond the scope of

were numerous lectures on a broad variety
