He would do the bulk of his loaf ing on park benches, rather thun In hotel lobbies. By following such a program, one could get a fairly reliable cross section of the opinions of the people whose votes are going Jo decide the Important election that will bo held, In November of this year. AS of now, this writer feels that the kind of people who don't travel In Pullman cars, who don't stay at the best hotels and who don't go out to lunch at the best places are going to vote heavily lor President Roosevelt again fourth term or no fourth term. They DON'T go along with everything he does. They are In clined to be afraid of his fondness for reckless spending. They are more than a little worried by our drift toward centralized govern ment. But they feel that they can TRUST FDR to look out for their Interests. And they DON'T trust the OLD republican party. They aren't yet convinced that the republican party has been re born and Is now fighting for the cause of luiman progress and freedom as sincerely as it did In Lincoln's day. By Charles V. Stantot BADIO COMMENTATOR WALTER WINCHELL and Con gres.sman Martin Dies of Texas are scheduled for a coast-to-coast squabble Sunday, March 26. Just what purpose is to be served by such public airing of dirty wash is more than we can understand. We have no hesitancy in proclaiming that personally we don't like Waiter Winchell as a commentator. On the other hand, we have the highest respect for Martin Dies and the work ho has accomplished as chairman of the house com mittee on un-American activities. l!ut regardless of our personal dislike for Walter Winchell's programs, and our esteem for the Texas congressman, we feel the forthcoming radio forensic is an undignified exhibit which should be classed as sensationalism rather than constructive debate. The situation being created by congressional criticism of commentators is potentially dangerous to the right of free speech. In the tidal wave of intolerance and prejudice sweeping the country today, freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to preservation of free government. Congressman Dies, representing the sentiment of various political leaders, contends that commentators should not "be permitted to go on the air and smear someone without that individual having the right to the same facilities to answer the charges." There is evident reason for just resentment by men in public life in the obvious unfairness of the existing situation. A radio commentator is required to lurnish a script nij advance of his broadcast. The radio network is charged j with the responsibility of deleting improper material. But1 here again arises the question of the limits of censorship, i Furthermore, a phrase which may seem innocent in written script, may become particularly damaging through the in flection and emphasis given by a clever commentator. Commentators may use innuendos which cannot be speci fically construed as libelous, yet which are misleading. Con gressman Dies contends that opportunity should be given persons attacked by commentators to reply over the same facilities used by the radio speaker. The condition is one peculiar to radio. The press of the nation, in its news reports, has endeavored to guard the rights of free argument, discussion ami rebuttal. At present,! however, radio lacks the facilities for equal privileges. Radio stations sell time time devoted Jo programs. They have 'commitments which cannot be made subject to change ex-j cept in extreme emergencies. They cannot, for instance, dis-j appoint the kiddies by booting Superman and the Lone Rang-1 er out of their respective program periods, to permit some politically-minded individual to answer to actual or imagin ary insults. The precedent of u law to control and regulate commenta tors at the wliim of congressmen atulor bureaucrats could be extremely dangerous to the right of free speech. At the same time every individual should have the right of security in character as well as in life and property and should have some means of redress of grievances. i!ut we fail to see the advantage to be gained by a coast-to-coast name-calling contest, even though it may be an ex ample of the exercise of free speech in the ultimate degree. Jn our humble opinion the situation calls for a closer scru-j tiny by the networks of the calibre of their commentators.! We cannot agree that radio stations should be compelled to! j;ive free time to every individual who appeal's with a real or fancied grievance. Laws ol libel are extremely strict and apply to radio and the press alike. They are a recourse to any offended person. OUT OUR WAY By J. R.

The republican candidate hasn't yet been chosen, and the ropuh i lican platform hasn't yet been' written. Until these things are dune. It will be impossible to express an I intelligent opinion as to whether j the republicans have a chance to j elect a president tills fall. ! - !

DIALfpLOG By SUSAN The doors ojien at 6:30 tonight and the curtain goes up imme diately it's First Nighter on 1190. The play, "Spaghetti Sym phony", the star, Barbara Luddy; the recommendation, four stars. Then, as we told you yesterday, there's a repeat on' "Don't Let's Be Beastly to the Germans" at 8:15. If you didn't hear it before, be sure you listen in tonight Thursday morning brings you Pcgeen Fitzgeral at 8:55, with her "Strictly Personal", and Julia Sanderson at 10:30 in Let's Be Charming. Cedric Foster at 11 o'clock is one of our favorite news commentators. Full Speed Ahead at 1:30 Is a good variety show produced by the Waves. Dare we mention again that "Lullaby In Rhythm" at 4.30 is mighty good listening? At least, we always lis ten to It around the studio, al though we may skip some of the news commentators here and there during the day. Thursday is the day for Junior Jamboree and the kids do a swell job on it, too. Did you hear the Dusty Record program on Tuesday? Our collection of old records increased enormously when one of our good friends down Myrtle Creek way brought in a number of discs all of them in such beautiful condition, too. And were we grateful yea, var ily, we were and so many thanks to that kind and thought ful neighbor. ; IMMEDIATE SERVICE . on . !: ;Body and Fender Repairs ; Complete Paint Jobs : r' - " at LOCKWOOD MOTORS Be Sure to Read Facts are Facts on Page 4 PLUMBING PROMPT REPAIR SERVICE SUPPLIES end FIXTURES CALL O?
