It is the generally accepted privilege of newspaper read. era to lash out at will against editor, reporters, proofread ers and any other person having anything to do with their newspaper. But when a newspaperman starts cussing out the readers and in public at that it would seem that his comments would come under the heading of real news. Dr. Gordon A. Sabine, assistant professor of journalism, University of Oregon, did just that in a recent talk before Eugene businessmen at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon, according to Ken Metzlcr writing in the Oregon Em mild. If Dr. Sabine's audience squirmed as do Oregon's editors when he starts taking them and their newspapers apart, as he frequently does both formally and informally at con ferences, we can have some sympathy for his businessmen listeners, when he spoke to them on the subject, "How Stupid Can You Get? According to Sletzler, Sabine cut loose on "lazy newspaper readers." The Oregon Emerald reports: Ho said too many readers skim the headlines of the dally newspaper and then turn to the sports page or the comics. "If you do skip to the comics or sports how In the devil can you know what is going on in the world," he asked. "Some people read so little that all they get la a fool's glimpse of the world." Although the newspapar must compete with the multi fold activities of its readers, Sabine charged that large numbers of people do not know how to read a newspaper: "It takea only 30 minutes of the reader's time to get the main trend of the day's news." He pointed out that the newspaper Is arranged In a manner conduolve to efficient reading. Ita important news Is all presented In one section. Headlines give the essence of a story In Just a few words. Sabine asked readers to analyze what they are reading and pay particular attention to the quoted source of the story. t Every editor, we are sure, could agree with the professor, even though no editor would dare say such things about his readers. But an editor couldn't help but agree when so many times he has had an' irate readcrcall and say his pet item didn't appear as promised although actually it was on the front page under bold headlines. Or the woman who calls up to report that the paper carried an item about a man by the name of Smith having a cow that wen first place in the Iowa state fair when she was sure the radio an nouncer said Jones, and her aunt Minnie has a cousin in Iowa by the name of Jones, and didn't the newspaper make a mistake? But Sabine, according to the Oregon Emerald, also had something to say about newspaper mistakes: Ho admitted newspapera make mlstskes. "But so d thoso In other professions. However, the errors of no pro fession are as glaring as thoss of ths newspsper." And no profession Is so abused by the publio aa the newspapers, Sabine added. "The publio doesn't argue with professional men In other fielda. We don't tell a lawyer he Is a dope or a pastor that his sermon Is all wed We don't tell a doctor to move over and let ue handle this operation. "Vet that Is precisely what ths readers do to ths highly trained men who put out ths dally newspaper. They lambast and cuss anyone who has the smallest finger In the publi cation of a newspaper." However, they have a constitutional right to do this and whether their criticism Is Just or unjust their voices will be heard, 8ablne declared. We're glad Sabine tacked on that last paragraph.

Left to right are Rt. Rev. Msgr. Christopher T. Weldon, Bishop Stephen J. Donahue, Bishop William R. Arnold and Francis Cardinal Spellman (AP Wirephoto). WHY is that important? Here la why: It enables the possessor of the device to see an approaching ene my farther off and GET READY FOR HIM QUICKER. LET'S not kid ourselves. If we can do that, the Russian can probably do It. This is the disturbing point: The techniques of war and de struction are advancing SO MUCH MORE RAPIDLY than the techniques of peace and cooperation. THIS one comes from Salem: "A New York Republican congressman I Representa tive Ralph W. Gwinn) thinks 80 per cent of the Democrats and 20 per cent of the Republicans are Socialists. As proof of his assertion, he citea in a speech to Willamette valley credit men the record of congress on public housing which, he says. Is the "most so cialistic measure ever conceived." What he means, I presume, is that under public housing the government, which is everybody, builds houses for a FEW people to live in cheaply.) I THINK he misses the point. As I see it, these Republican and Democratic members of con gress who vote for "socialistic" measures (including laws de signed to vote everybody rich and pension everybody off, so that NOBODY will have to work) DON'T BELIEVE IN THE THINGS THEY ARE VOTING FOR. They are shallow opportunists who think that is what the bulk of the people want and are ready to vote for ANYTHING that will keep them in office. The Democrats want to STAY IN POWER. The Republicans want to GET INTO POWER. That's the root of the trouble. PERSONALLY I have far more respect for a SINCERE SO CIALIST than for a demagogue who doesn't believe in socialism but is willing to vote for It in order to keep his Job, if he is In power, or to get a job if he is out of power. ALSO (still speaking personally) I think these demagogues are mistaken. I don't believe the bulk of our people WANT socialism, or any of Its trappings. The com mon, everyday people I talk to don't believe you can vote your self rich any more than you can lift yourself by your bootstraps. And most of them I talk to are as sure as I am that after we've pensioned everybody off there won't be anybody left to do the work. mujk. mm -' stiineiiir- nunsimi eWeC.
