taken a licking In ELECTIONS
where people are fairly free to
.vote their convictions. 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.

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.

Paul G. Hoffman Is a name
In the news these days since
he's been handed the rugged
job of running the European
Recovery Program. If he were
looking for a bed of roses, this
isn't it. Mr. H. is going to have
to keep sixteen foreign na
tions, Washington and about
145 million Americans happy.
As one Washington official
says, "He will be a cursed
man." He'll need more pa
tience than a first grade teach
er and more diplomacy than a
husband who has forgotten
two anniversaries in a row.
Mr. Hoffman has just return
ed from Japan, where he serv
ed on the Draper Committee,
making an economic survey.
During the war he was on a
dozen different committees.
He's smarter than a Quiz Kid's
answer, but he's sure got his
hands full this time . . . and
we wish him luck.
It wasn't luck though that
made John Marks high gun
Sunday at the Roseburg Rod
and Gun Club's Winchester
trap layout. When an old tim
er like John breaks fifty
straight it isn't luck, friends,
it's skill. Incidentally the club,
holds regular trap shoots every -Sunday,
with Fred Kuck, of
C. A. A. in charge. Drive out
