US PRESS BEST
Dilliard Stresses 'Morals'
In Press Conference Talk
Newspaper morals are more
important than newspaper tech
nique, Irving Dilliard, editor of
the editorial page of the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch told Oregon
Press Conference delegates and
a general audience Friday in Al
len hall.
In the United States we have
the best press in the world, the
ninth annual Allen Memorial lec
turer said, and it falls short of
what it could be and should be
... we can make it better.
Citing figures on newspaper
circulation, he showed that the
number of actual newspapers has
declined greatly since the early
1900 s.
Must Be Fair, True
“The fewer the newspapers,
the braver, fairer and truer each
one must be,” he said.
Dilliard praised Eric Allen
hall’s facilities for professional
journalistic training, and added
that it could provide excellent
training and still not contribute
to freedom of the press.
The journalism school will have
to teach its students the courage
needed "not to be plunged into
a sea of conformity,” show them
“elemental fairness,” and that
“the reporter owes far more to
the reader than to the editor or
publisher.”
Sense of Conscience
A journalist should have a
“sense of conscience that will not
allow him to suppress ... any
thing that deserves to be print
ed,” he said.
Dilliard was introduced by
Robert B. Chessman, of the As
toria Budget, who was conference
chairman. This was the 36th an
nual conference of the group.
Saturday events of the confer
ence included a breakfast at the
Eugene hotel, morning confer
ences of daily newspapers, week
ly newspapers and Oregon Press
Women, and a semi-annual meet
ing of the Oregon Newspaper
Publishers association.
President O. Meredith Wilson
spoke at the luncheon, held in
the Student Union.
