! Editors Forecast Record j Vote In November Election, Answer Unjustified Peeves WASHINGTON OP A record vote Nov. 4 Is predicted by editors of some of the nation's leading newspapers who agree that this is one of the hottest presidential contests in history. The "editors, who cme here for a weekend meeting of the directors of the American Society of News paper Editors (ASNE), said this campaign has brought more pres sure on the press and more criti cism from partisans of both sides than . any other pre-election news coverage in memory. Here are some of the editors Interviewed: . James S. Pope, executive editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Times, which are supporting Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Democratic nominee for President: ' "I have become convinced of one thing: Readers cannot judge the objectivity of a newspaper in a presidential campaign for the sim ple reason that they cannot read objectively. Most of them do not want objectivity they want their fide favored. - "Many Republicans complained that our news stories about Nixon were 'Democratic propaganda' un til . Nixon made his television speech; then Democrats started complaining that stories about Nixon were 'Republican propagan da'. - "Some Democrats think we are trying to hurt Stevenson by putting on page one accounts of Truman's attacks on Ike; but if we played Truman down, just as many Demo crats would scream." " Pope added: "It is fairly easy to keep news even as between Adlai and Ike, but Truman throws things off balance." , Printing News, First Duty "J. Donald Ferguson, ' president and editor of the Milwaukee Jour nal: "The only other presidenital campaign I can r e call which reached so high an emotional level iwas the Al Smith-Herbert Hoover campaign of '28. The emotions aroused there were of one kind religious. In this campaign we have numerous emotional currents, ranging from grievances against the Truman administration to re sentments within the Republican party because Sen. Taft was not the nominee. "Newspapers can only print the news as accurately as it comes to us. i suppose that so long as the shadow of Russia falls across the world and fear is in the minds of men, the public is going to be ex tremely, edgy, suspicious, and an gry temporarily at facts that do not please it." "Intensity of feeling about the presidential contest has been re flected even in an increase in ser vice complaints to his newspapers, said Gideon Seymour, executive editor of the Minneaoolis S- ind Tribune. He cited one incident: "A woman called me u. 2 o'clock one morning and said that several pages in the second sec tion of her Evening Star were blank. I expressed regret, and ex plained that this happened when we changed newsprint rolls on the press and that while we tried to throw out all imperfect copies we didn't always succeed. I told her that if she d give me her name and address I'd have a better copy delivered to her. " 'Oh, no,' she replied. 'I like it. I was just calling up to tell you now much oetter your paper would be these days if you always left half the pages blank!' " Air Force Jets Collide; 2 Die WESTFIELD, Mass.

Eisen hower, accused his Democratic op ponents Monday of spreading "poi son" and "fantastic lies" in an ef fort to defeat him in the Novem ber election. - He lashed out at the opposition as he pushed his presidential cam paign into New England along the same path taken by President Truman last week. Despite swirling snow, large crowds gathered to cheer him at every stop. It was the worst weather luck Eisenhower had had since he be gan campaigning Sept. 1 but the first snow of the season didn't chill the enthusiasm of the crowds. Eisenhower turned bitter criti cism against the Democrats in Bridgeport, Conn., where he aaid there had been charges his elec tion would mean another depres sion, that he could cut taxes for management but not for the work ers, and abolish unions. He termed these charges lies and said: "The opposition has resorted to the most fantastic lies and distor tions." Earlier at Stamford, he had promised that "every single bit of strength" in the nation would be mustered against another depres sion. And he said: "We shall never allow such a must have proper social security A sound and prosperous America is necessary if there is to be peace in the world, Eisenhower asserted, and he went on to say: "If we are not again going to get into war we must pledge every single bit of strength there is in the United States, all the strength of rivate enterprise, of municipal and state governments and of the federal government against the re currence of . . . depression." ". . , If we are not going to have a depression, that means peo ple must have decent wages; they must have proper social security programs; they must have prosper ous farm programs all of those things that put a floor of protec tion over the pit of disaster into which our people must not fall." In his Bridgeport talk, Eisen hower said the charges levelled against him raised the question: "Just how silly and crazy can you get in this world." Eisenhower left New York on a I three-day tour of Connecticut. Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. - if ! n r-i I Tuts., Oct. 21, 1952 The Newt-Review, Roteburf, Or.
