SOREHEAD PROPAGANDA By CHARLES V. STANTON Since the Socialist-Democrat administration tame into power 18 years ngo, the nation's prrsa has been a target for constant sniping. Political leaders persistently have endeavored to undermine public confidence in the press to abolish freedom of speech. The late President Roosevelt seldom made one of hi.i fireside chats without taking some dig at the press. His henchmen were even more aggressive in their attacks upon the nation's newspapers. President Truman has continued the policy, attacking motives and policies of the press, and he, too, has been abetted by administration spokesmen. Now a defeated candidate, Democrat Huber, represent ative in Congress from Ohio, is engaged in a sorehead attack, announcing that he will introduce a bill in Congress during the lame duck session to bar newspapers from owning or operating radio stations. lie is quoted in press dispatches as saying that "In marly sections of the country radio stations are the only means of disseminating unbiased news reports. If news papers continue to gobble up radio stations, our American freedom will be in great danger." Without knowing the facts, we would presume from Rep. Huber's statements that he failed to secure endorse ment from Ohio newspapers in his campaign for reelec tion, so is seeking revenge. He insinuates that newspapers are not giving their readers deserved news coverage. H! is following the party pattern of trying to chip away public confidence in the press. J Press Needs Confidence The nation's press makes no secret of the fact that it wants and needs public ronfidence. A newspaper cannot perform an efficient service for either its readers or its advertisers unless it retains publie confidence. Conse quently every effort is made to merit favorable opinion. Newspapers continually examine themselves and their ser vices to determine whether their policies are right. At a recent meeting of Associated Press members in national convention, a charge that Associated Press news dis patches were biased in favor of the administration resulted in the appointment of a board which seriously investigated the complaint. The board's verdict was that it could find no evidence to support the charge. What kind of service were yon, as a newspaper reader, afforded prior to the last election? In the news columns of The Sewn-Rnnew you read of activities and statements from all principal candidates and their backers'. You read discussions on both sides of con troversial measures. These news items in no case were Influenced by the newspaper's editorial position. In the editorial column you read the newspaper's opinions con cerning candidates and Issues, often at variance with opin ions of speakers quoted in news items. If you read other Oregon papers you found them in general agreement, yet with enough difference to indicate that each newspapr was acting independently. If you listened to The Newt-Review' radio station KRNR you were fully aware that no effort was made to make tliat station's programs conform to the beliefs or opinions of the newspaper. Our operation is no different than will be found gener ally throughout the country. There might be an occa sional exception, but the press as a whole, both in news paper and radio, is endeavoring to give an impartial, unbiased, uncolored news report, which may or mav not be supplemented by opinionated editorial policies. At least, no information is purposely being withheld because of editorial opinion, with but few exceptions. Freedom of the press is the greatest obstacle to dicta torship bv the Socialist-Democrat party. Socialist-Democrat candidates and theories took a severe beating in the last election. Naturally the losing candidates vent their spleen upon the press, following a long established prece dent. Hut even the sorehead titterings of a defeated candidate cannot pass unchallenged. By Vtaknrtt S. Yesterday I invested three dol lars in a cook book, not that I make as much use as I should of cookbooks already oo many on the shelf in the pantry. But a review of "A Taste of Texas" set me wondering ... it might even solve a . thirty-year problem? If so, three dollars would be well spent. I read the in-be tween remarks about lexan gas tronomic history, and noted im mediately the conspicuous ehsrore of anv English credit although some indian curry recipes arrned in the cookbook via Lonfrnn. "We believe firmly that Texas is s world in itself, but in this rook book it has become the crossroads of the world. The food Texans eat and like is hke reading the slate's history. It reflects the influence of the Indian. Ihe Spaniard, Ihe Frenchman and Ihe flavor of the deep South, and vet manascj to keep the chuck-wagon id Rood Sight." K "Each and evtry one of these rec ipes, although fool proof for veter ans, had to he tested for universal use . . ." tTexas Stale College for Women therefore spent three long x semraerrs testing Ihe recipes and sdecting over 300 for "A Taste of. "Texas.) "They became our guaran-, tee that your sitive wouldn't blow I up when you tried our recipes. So have" a taste of Texas. "(9 To my great astonishment manv of the recipes call for a can of this or that, several cans, and we read: "Today cooking wilh cans is. an art' and can bring you fame. A can-opener is no longer 'Ihe badge of a cook in a rush'!" Therefore. hunting frantically through t h book for an authentic recipe l tamales, I found only "a can Martin tif in ictit!.4,'? lr when. I ever tamales were mentioned. And joyfully pouncing on onton soup, i visinned a hushsnd no longer able to refuse It "Hugh." ssid he. "1 still don't like onion soup." iHt likes onions in every other conceiv able way! ) "Since Ihe Reader's Digest some vests back informed the American public that salads were healthy, j Texans nave wouing innn i'n. not because they like salads hut I because Ihev want to be the health iest, strongest, tallest, tannest peo ple in the world." EJ must have missed that isMie of the R D., but he has been she- ing big hermuda onions on a plate I no lettuce, mercy, no! aaturat- ing the rings with sugar and lotting the mess stand a while and using spoon and fork to eat. Or even sat urating slices with Worcestershire. "This simple, satisfying salad . . . on a plate in lonesome glory . . . is typical of the simplicity Texans like in a salad . . . but they can be complicated . . . salads are the Lsmiappe of the meal." Nieman-Varcus of Pallas started the whole thing by querying their world wide customers . , ."A Taste of Texas" resulted from the deluge of recipes. ' I Random Tlou.-e.

Now that the elections are over. Lattimore is back at his old stand, opining that it would be much wiser if we admitted Chinese Com munists to the United Nations. At one period, when the hot winds from Wisconsin's volatile senator, Joseph McCarthy, were searing the nape of laUimnre's neck, he won dered if maybe he hadn't been mis taken about wanting to recognize the Reds. By bringing the Chinese Com munists into Ihe United Nations that organization would be strengthened, Lattimore is con vinced. Me gave the reasons for this publicly a 'w days ago. He said all the argument then would be inside, rather than outside, the world organization. Apparently, there isn't enough gum-beating at UN now. It was also interesting to note Lattimore' s post-election summa tion of what happened to Senator Millard Tydings, Ihe Maryland Democrat who got blitzed by Mc Carlhyism. He thinks the Wiscon sin senator put Tydmgs on the de fensive and that hurt. He's right. There never was a political can didate whose hack was so close to the wall as Tydings. And the in I cr esting thing is that Lattimore and the State department helped put the senator there. They persuaded the senator to defend the State de partment against McCarthy's charges. They even helped write the whitewash report, put out in the committee's name. Lattimore and his legal advisers were consultants for Tydings and his chief committee counsel. Kd Morgan. In fact, when Lattimore was on the witness stand, Tydin-is enthusiastically volunteered to the witness that Lattimore had the full and unstinted blessing of the com mittee, that it had no information derogatory to him, and that Mc Carthy was just a very bad boy. Trhoughout the Tydings investi gation, the Maryland senator was maintaining a hot trail between his office and Ihe State department. He reacted with the reliability of a marionette doll every time Ache son or one of his super-domed in tellectuals came up with a new idea on how to gag McCarthy. Reams of State department statements (not documents), all of them con taining accusal ions or smears against McCarthy or one of his witnesses, were entered in the rec ord and were included in the final committee report. In fact. Mr. Tydings overdrew his bank account of prestige, try ing to save Mr. Acheson and his flouncing pinks, and the voters closed him out. It's an impressive lesson. Maybe next time administration senators on the same hot seat won't be so anxious to take the Slate department's word that everything is clean and pure. And from all the rumbling soing on, some Democrat is going to have Ihe dubious pleasure of investigating the McCarthy charges all over again. This time they ought to let every one speak his piece. As a matter of fact, it nn;ht not be a bad idea to invite Tydings to the hear ings. He probably has some inter esting things to say about the State department in general, and Lalti nitre in particular. A of now there are at least six ditfrrent plans on how the Mc Carthy charges should be re orntd. Kvciyone has had some thing in ay except McCarthy. Mr. Tinman, who knows that W ad ministratjon will take a drubbing again if Congress makes a real investigation ef Communists in government, js passing word around that he would like uggrs tions on how to get off the hook. So. far he .hat had very few. McCarthy has made only one stole m en t regarding his hi:fe plans, and that did not include the State dep.irtment. He wn& to look into the Department of AgnculQe and the Bureau of the Budget. Strangely enough, this time, the usual cries that these departments are clean of Communists have not been forthcoming. There has not been a sound out of the Depart- JENKINS.

Hightower adds: "They (the Chinese reds) have insisuju all along that their troops are only 'volunteers.' That may be a device to avoid direct and official involvement "This insistence on the voluntary nature of the Chinese intervention I is one of two main reasons why administration officials have been 1 and remain somewhat hopeful of they had available in Manchuria ? ? ? ? ?

To the file room of Ihe House committee i on I n-American activities. And I they have been there ever since. with long lists of their employees, checking Ihe files to see wha kind of ammunition McCarthy might have in mind. Senator McCarthy maintained it the start, and slill does, that the only way to investigate his charges is to get at Ihe liles. That does not mean for committee members doing the investigating to rely on what the department officials have to say. He wants a look at all the files, including, for instance, the i letters of ret-ommendatien that were written by Alger Hiss; the I indorsements handed out by l.ee I Pressman, Nathan Wilt, Nathan Gregory Sihermasler and the doz ens of others who were in top jobs l in the government and filled the : agencies with their Communist pals, it stands to reason that none of these discredited administration j aides ever gave a recommenda-i I lion unless the hoys they wanted lo hire were right.

Taft (R-Ohio) in asking a review and reexamin ation of stale department policies, but would put all government pol icies under periodic review. In an interview here with a re porter for the Lexington Leader, Ihe Oregon liberal said he thought that no matter which party was in power, both foreign and domes tic policies should be re-examined at intervals. Se. Taft had asked for review of state department policies. Sen. Morse came here to find a new five-gaited stallion to replace Spice of Life, which he has retired.

Under this new "p.n policy holders will receive the same rat advantages formerly offered only under a three-year contract, without having to pay premiums more than one year at a time. In other words, it cuts the policy holder's rash outlay by two thirds. This is especially appre ciated by owners of business property e.nd merchants, who can use the money In their own busi ness instead of tying it up in a three-year policy in order to get a rate discount. The three-year term policy was designed to match the old three-year term maturity on real estate loans," said the Farmers Insurance scent. "With the ad vent of fhe Federal Housing Ad ministration into the real estate lending; field, real estate loans have been extended for various lengths of tim up to 20 years. The new continuous Fire Insur ance Exchang policy is the first real effort mad by the fire in surance Industry to meet the present day needs of property owners and mortgagees." COVERS ENTIRE LOAN Th new policy will cover the entire tfrrn of the loan, regard less of maturity dat. untera can celled for non-payment of the an nual premium, and then only after ample notice to both the insured and mortgage company.
