Judge Eft t. speaking on the negative side, said there are glowing conflicts of two groups which are protected by two free- - dome, the right of the press, and the right of free trial.

FILTER TIP TAREYTON with the Activated Charcoal Filter PRODUCT OP War Likely With World Expansion Oregon Broadcasters, along v/lth professional educators, were sharply criticized for allowing misunderstanding of world af fairs by the Americaji public dur WUXI AM A. WILLIAMS Criticize* broadcasters ing the first annual Oregon Broadcasters’ conference. William A. Williams, assistant professor of history, told the 75 delegates the greatest fault in their profession today is the "failure to ask relevant ques tions.” His topic was "The Back ground to Yalta.” “Why have Americans focused so much attention on what Yalta did not accomplish," is the most intelligent question to ask about the conference, he asserted. Questions such as “Why did we sell eastern Europe and Chi na down the river ” show con ceit and self-righteousness on the part of Americans, .ie argued, since we didn’t have those under our control in the first place. Williams concluded that we live in a closed world—a world that can no longer expand phy sically, Attempts at expansion will bring a mutually-destructive war, he said, since all major countries have excessive power ot destruction.
