Understanding Necessary
Between Trial and Press
By Joan Kraus
Enwrald Reporter
“It is an absolute necessity to
have an understanding between
the trial and the press,1’ said
Judge William G. East Wednes
day night in a browsing room
lecture in the Student Union.
The topic for the lecture was
“Free Trial versus the Free
Press.” East said that “the
bench vs. the bar might meet in
a death struggle. The mediums
of mass communication demand
an audience at all sessions and
trials, and when asked to state
their right for their demands
adopt a ‘holier than thou’ atti
tude.”
He said that “he knew of no
reason why the press and the
courts can’t have a good rela
tionship if they work in har
mony so that each one's rights
are not encroached upon by an
other."
East stated that the bad in
influences of mass communica
tion on trials is that (1) the
press can give the defendant a
pre-trial and (2) the press can
have an influencing result on the
trial.
East was recently recommend
ed by the United States Justice
department for a judgeship in
the Portland federal district
court.
Long an outspoken advocate of
the lawyer’s viewpoint on the
battle between the “robe and
the reporter,” East has spoken
on the subject several times.
Porter Confident
Of'54DemoWin
Charles O. Porter, 1952 Demo
cratic candidate for the House of
Representatives, told the campus
Young Democrats Wednesday
night that “we'll win in 1956 be
cause we're right on the issues."
Porter charged that the Repub
lican policy was weak beenuse it
has no articulate leaders who will
come forward and debate the is
sues. He said that the Democratic
party must follow a positive cam
paign to win the next election,
and expressed confidence that it
would do so.
He warned that the Democrats
will have to “take off their gloves"
with President Eisenhower.
Porter charged that Eisenhower
! has failed to heal the split in the
Republican party and baa shown
poor leadership. He used the
President’s "admitted lark of
knowledge" on the release of the
Yalta papers as an example.

Why ifs wise to
more than 10 years i
BP
By Homer J. Livingston, President of
The First National Bank of Chicago and
President, American Bankers Association
Like millions of other Americans, you
probably know that our government’s Series
£ Savings Bonds rank among the surest,
safest and best investments in the world. But
I wonder if you realize that an extremely
attractive feature has been added to them.
Today, you no longer need cash your Bonds
at maturity (9 years, 8 months after pur
chase) . You can hold them for as long as 19
years, 8 months. And this enables you to get
a far greater total yield from them, since the
interest paid on Savings Bonds is cumulative.
That is to say, your Bonds pay interest not
only on the principal, but on the accumu
lated interest itself! Now, the longer you hold
your Bonds the bigger this accumulation gets
—and, correspondingly, the more money
your Bonds pay in interest every year.
If you invested $37.50 in a Savings Bond ten
years ago, it could be redeemed for $50.00
today. You would make $12.50. But if you
keep that Bond for ten more years, you will
make a total of $29.84 on your original in
vestment. In other words, if you hold your
U. S. Savings Bonds for double their original
period, your total yield is considerably more
than just double.
So, if you can possibly arrange it, hold your
Bonds for the maximum period—19 years,
8 months. You don’t have to sign any papers
or visit your bank to do this. The extended
earning period is automatic.
And, of course, go on investing in U. S.
Series E Savings Bonds—through the Pay
roll Savings Plan where you work. If self
employed, invest in Savings Bonds regu
larly where you bank.
Want your interest paid as
current income?

months and pay an average of 3% per
annum if held to maturity. Interest
paid semiannually by Treasury check.
