at something like $20,000 a

He adds that available data In
dicate that ' a pound of U-235
would probably cost about $2800.
So, you see, it isn't out of the
question if enough uranium can
be found or ' If SOMETHING
ELSE, cheaper an more plenti
ful, can be made to substitute for
uranium.
HE indicates that atomic energy
COULD be used to propel au
tomobiles, planes, trucks, ' etc.,
and, to heat Individual homes but
for Its dangerous rays. To pro
tect against these rays, he says,
it Is necessary to house the atom
ic energy machine In a steel or
concrete shield weighing about
50 tons thus restricting (ts use
to stationary, high-power units.
INCIDENTALLY, don't worry
i TOO' MUCH over what will
happen i( atopilq energy should
iisplace big power dams, etc.
Steam came along and displac
ed the' crude power of human
muscles, and the world, WENT
FORWAR instead of backward.
The same thing happened when
water-developed, power began to
edge in on steam.'
Whatever cheapens power
makes it possible to MAKE
MORE THINGS at LESS CPS'!;
and the mere things we have
the better off we 'shall be. ' in
these days of scarcity of things
anc abundance of money we are
learning the salutary lesson that
it is THINGS, and not money,
that count In thi way of material
progress.
a HE thing we have not yet
learned, but need t '8 t,,
reckon things in terms of a
DAY'S WORK, rather than in
terms of dollars. When we think
in terms of dollars only, we are
apt to become badly confused.)
'
ONE other thought before we
stop moralizing for the day.
Could, K'bc possible that we are
thinking TOO MUCH hi material
terms and to little In terms of the
SPIRIT such things as right
and justice and human decency?
Might we not be better off, In
the long run, if we applied mors
frequently in, our everyday tran
sactions with each other the
sound principle of the Golden
Rule?
WATCH, India in t'ie news.
Something BIG Is possibly In
the making there.
A BRITISH commission, com
posed of three cabinet mem
bers, is apparently offering IN
DEPENDENCE to India on a sil

BUSINESS.
This British cabinet mission is
preparing for India a federal
union, somewhat on the pattern
of our federal government, but
with this difference: ' In between
the fcderal eongress tor the whole,

Washington) and the provincial

NEWSPAPER
. By CHARLES V. STANTON
Nothing angers a newspaperman more than statements
hat the press is subsidized. The charge constantly is hurled
by enemies, who claim newspapers are influenced by adver
tisers, of darp not speak the truth for fear of losing sub
scribers. Now a, college professor proposes that newspapers
be taken, pvey by colleges and, universities! o free the press
from "bondage.".
Editor Robert W. Ruhl of the Medford Mail Tribune
answers this charge most effectively and today we devote
tjhis column to reprinting Editor Ruhl's comment.
Newspapers are always being criticized and always will
be. The reason or at least one reason is the nature of the
newspaper business. Newspapers not only have opinions but
express theni, and no matter how sound and well conceived
the views may be, a certain number of people don't agree
with them. And few of these people are backward about
coming forward with their comments. As time goes on these
dissidents become an extensive group a more pr less per
manent back-log of hostility not open hostility perhaps tut
the critical grumbling kind of unfriendliness that easily
breaks into hostility when any extra strain is imposed.
Then, of course, there are those people (juite a number
of them who don't like to have theif names in the news
papers unless the occasion is to them highly favorable. They
enjoy reading about some one else in a jam, but when THEY
get involved in any way they want; everything suppressed,
and consider it a capital offense if the news isn't suppressed.
Finally there are those not many who honestly don't
like publicity whether it is favorable or unfavorable, but
when they get in the news they have to "take" it, so they
jjoin the ranks of the malcontents.
Newspapers realize all this and therefore as a class news
paper men are pretty well conditioned to criticism. They
take criticism somewhat as doctors take bad accounts, in
their stride as something to expect.
All, of which, has been aroused by an indictment of news
papers by Alexander Meiklejohn, the eminent educator, who
wants thera taken over by the universities of the country,
and liquidated from the area of private and profitable enter
prise. If this isn't done, Mr. M. sees the destruction of de
mocracy. We quote:
On the one hand they (the publishers) are in bondage
to their advertisers, whose Interests they must serve. On
the other hand, they are in bondage to their readers who
must give them their market. And from the point of view
of the community mind, the situation has become, I think,
so intolerable that no free government can allow it to
continue.
In other words the newspaper business in this country
has become a mercenary and. enslaved profession, controlled
in one direction by the advertisers, in another by the readers,
so the only hope for a free independent press is to turn the
whole shebang over to the colleges and universities!
That is the trouble with so
they are practically always
nouung uuout .mem.
Of course there, arc all sorts of newspapers, good, bad and
indifferent, but wo would like to have M. Meiklejohn take
a job on any daily American paper that could be called
typical representative in any real sense of the profession
Us a whole and see what he calls "bondage" from day to
day, at close range.
Vc venture to, say ho would decide not to burden higher
education with tho task'.
There isn't a newspaper worthy of the name that doesn't
resist advertising or reader pressure of some kind or both
at least once a week. In the metropolitan field it probably
comes nearer to once a day. And often under serious pres
sure .threats of cancellations
tions, business boycotts, now
slaughter.
As above remarked, it is all
to a greater or lesser extent it goes on all the time. In
fa,et tho newspaper business from a policy standpoint might
well be described as continuous resistance to various and
sundry pressure groups.
And yet here is a high educational authority maintaining
seriously if, is the tool of those
scriptions or advertising. NONShNSb;
represent a magnificent gamble
on the part of Britain's present
(labor) government.

Oaks Tie Seafc
For League Lead;
LA. Drops to 3rd
(By The Associated Press)
Pacini Coast League, haseball
fans looked with increased in
terest at the Oakland Acorns to
day. The comet-like rise of the
club from third to a tie for first
place during the past week gave
the early season race all the
flavor " of a crucial, down-the-stretch
finale. "
The rise of the Acorns was ac
complished at the expense of the
Hollywood Stars, who dropped
seven straight yet retained fifth
place in the standings. Mean
while San Francisco's Seals, and
Los Angeles were cutting 'each
other's throats in a 4-3 series,
the Seals managing to cling to
a tie for the league lead by tak
ing the odd game. The Angels
slipped from second to the third
rung.
This week's games will give
the Acorns a chance to improve
their position. They take on the
lowly Portlanders at Portland
while the Seals baUle fourth
place San Diego at San Fran
cisco and the Angels take on the
Hollywood Stars. Sacramento
journeys to Seattle in the re
maining bill. No games were
scheduled for today.
Saturday's single bills set the
stage for the Sunday double
headers. The Angels took the
Seals 3-2, Oakland won a 5-0
walkaway from Hollywood which
put them on the top with Seals
as a result; San Diego defeated
Sacramento 4-2 and Seattle took
a 3-1 game from Portland.
With ears attuned to what was
happening yesterday, where the'
Acorns won 8-0 and 1-0 victories,
the Seals kept pace with their
rivals b" winning both games
also, 2-1 and 3-1. Sacramento
likewise took both contests, down
ing San Diego 3-2 and 4 3. Port
land won the first game 4-3 and
Seattle the second close battle,
2 to 1.

Sharpen That Pencil.
We hear a lot these riavs
about the guys who keep their
pencils sharp. Mostly that
means the fair-haired boys who
run tho country for lis down in
wasntngton. They have figured
and figured, and worn out mil
lions of pencils trying to get
everything to balance.
It never comes out tho way
they think it should, but they
are persistent. So they just
sharpen up another pencil. And
they now have it so it becomes
necessary for you to do a. little
figuring, too,
It is now not simoly the fact
of scarce feed supplies, though
they arc still scarce. Tho prob
lem is more complicated. Even
It you could continue to get feed,
are you sure you could nay lor
it without selling a bond?
The feed cost, talonc), of pro
ducing eggs has been close to
25c per dozen. Comes now OPA
and raises the celling price of
practically everything that goes
into chicken feed. Millrun $10.00
per ton; corn 2dc a bushel,
wheat another 15c, oats, lit
any), a nickle and barley 9c.
This means inevitably another
hike in feed costs. Most com
panies and co-operatives have
already boosted prices, and the
Douclas County Flour Mill will
have to do it soon. Next week's
"toed Bag' will give you the
sad details.
To get the picture clearly, you
must unacrsiana that tnc uov
ment has been trying tor a long
lime to torcc a cuibacK oi about
'JO'i in chickeii and cen produc
tion. Part of the wheat export
program stems from humanitar-
ianism, and part from the
"Washington' tlcolioniisUs' Pro
gram. .
A shortage of wheat didn't
oune ao me irioK. &o tney went
into a 'localized Black Market"
by paj'ing a, bonus of 30c over
what you and we were allowed
to pay.. bo now, wheat and corn
arc practically a i,overnmen,t
monopoly. I Like Russia, Ger
many or Japan).
Another hike in feed -rices is
another dagger Jabbed Into the
back of the hapless Doultryman.
Particularly when there is no
corresponding hike in the ceil
ing price of eggs. To be sure,
(oultrymcn have "demanded"
an increase,' bu,l did you ever
try demanding anything from
the OPA, br any other Federal
agency?' ' ' ".
