That rather dashes the hope that the people of Western Europe will turn vol' ,'untarlly to Communism as a way -out of their troubles. . . What will be Russia's next -move? Will It be tougher? Will ..she drop persuasion and turn to -force? If so, where? And how? I As to that, only time can tell. Ve'll be extremely foolish, how "ever, if we lump to the conclu sion that Italy settled the problem Tf Russian expansion. ;IERE is a guess: The Italians " II really voted for a trial of the 'Marshall plan. If the Marshal ; plan WORKS, they will be happy .'with their choice. If it doesn't ;work, they will be disillusioned, i Disillusioned people are hard to ; handle. So far, the Marshall plan has been mostly talk. Talk is easy. -From here on out, the Marshall plan will be judged not by the rosy words that are uttered about Jt but by the deeds that are doe ; under it. We have a job ahead of us. ' IOHN L. LEWIS gels a personal J $20,000 fine and his miners ; union gets a $1,400,000 fine for -contempt of court. The contempt Twas Incurred when a court order to go back to work pending a ,iettlement of the strike was I Ignored. The fine is for criminal con- "tempt only. Both Lewis and his union were found guilty of BOTH ..criminal and civil contempt. Dls- posal of the civil contempt con Eviction was held over for a few days presumably to see what the 'miners were going to do about .compliance with the law. If they choose to go on Ignoring lt, It is possible that a progressive 'fine may be Imposed upon them that is, a fine of so much for Jevery day they stay away from work. In cases of civil contempt, 'penalties are based on damages ' done. It Is obvious that the longer Icoal is not mined the greater the 'damage will be. "IACK of this coal ruckus lies the D principle of the greatest good to the greatest number. It is inv Dortant to ALL OF US that 'enough coal be mined to keep the nation's production up to what -it ought to be. When production ls upset, we all suffer. The purpose of law in free coun tries is to insure that the rights "of ALL bo protected. Law is -worthless unless it can be on 'forced. That is why this coal case -Is so interesting to everybody. CREED OF PROFESSION ; Counties Plan Fight On I Welfare Commission I ONTARIO, Ore., April 24.--W .

By CHARLES V. STANTON The Associated Press is "dedicated to one ideal : to present facts truthfully, impartially, accurately and interestingly," says a statement prepared by the board of directors. The statement was issued to the membership in connection with the 100th anniversary convention in progress in New York. "In a world gripped by tension and conflicting political ide ologies," the statement adds, "the association's responsibility for its news coverage becomes ever greater." At the anniversary luncheon, the association was warned by Lord Rothermere, British publisher, that "a cloud of wishful neutrality" is forming in Europe. He added: The news must ba reported. Ignorance, as you know better than anybody, breeds isolationism. Isolationism breeds neutrality, Look eastwards across the Atlantic and you will sea forming on the horizon a cloud of wishful neutrality. Today no bigger than a man's hand perhaps, but capable tomorrow of assuming menacing proportions. Isolationism and neutrality could be extremely dangerous to the United States and Great Britain. We need allies in the "battle for Europe" being waged by Communism. Through the medium of a free press the barrier of ignorance in world events and world politics can be breached. But only if people are given the truth and not held subject to a controlled press. But even a free press offers problems. As stated by the directors of the Associated Press, there is a responsibility to present facts truthfully, impartially, accurately. It is not difficult to distort a news story or to present only one side of a controversial subject. But few newspapers can be found using such tactics. With but few exceptions, pub lishers and editors strive to print both sides of a contro versial issue, and to report news as accurately as the ever- present danger of human error and ignorance will permit A reporter may do a better job on a subject with which he is familiar and regarding which he has background material than on a subject with which he is totally unfamiliar. But the effort is toward unbiased and unprejudiced presentation of news. The editorial column may be used by the editor to express his personal views and those of the paper he serves on a controversial subject. Even in such presentation, the average editor usually admits and reviews arguments of the opposi tion as he endeavors to refute them. But despite tho efforts of the press to be impartial and objective, it has one medium which casts much confusion into the picture columns written by unqualified columnists. And what is true of the press is doubly true of the radio. Tho newspaper reporter and editor are trained through years of experience to handle news and opinion objectively. They are indoctrinated in the creed of their profession. They take pride in craftsmanship. Honesty, and the knowledge .that;, they are subject to criticism and rebuttal, tend tr) keep their elforts directed into seeking public confidence. But the press, particularly in recent years, has fallen for "big name commentators men and women who have had no newspaper training or experience, who know nothing of, and care less for, the creed of the profession, and who will twist and dis tort facts and information to advance ideologies. The great majority of news commentators are well qualified, highly trained and expert observers who can be counted on to report accurately, but because tho public has learned to trust and believe these writers it docs not recognize those other commentators who serve "isms" and ideologies and are accepted only because of their names and position. The radio is a worse offender than tho press. One can hear daily tho blatant voices of commentators to whom the truth is only something to be distorted and exploited for sensational values; who report more of imagination than fact, each seeking to be more lurid and melodramatic than his fellows. Tho public is not gullible, but because of the responsibility tho press has endeavored to exercise throughout many years, tho public trusts that persons charged with dissemination of news are attempting accuracy, and thus many persons accept statements without question. The commentator who "waves the flag" while uttering malicious gossip and distorted facts often becomes a Hooper favorite and as long as lie has his Hooper rating, why should he worry about facts? The people of Europe need a free press. It is essential to future peace and well being. For only an informed and intel ligent people can exist at peace. But it would not hurt if the domestic press avoided confusing the public mind, not by stifling free speech nor expression of ideas, but by requiring its columnists without exception to practice the creed of the profession.
