What They
Think Of
Reporters of Today
And if They Shoxdd
'Notebooks i
RECENTLY there have been
number of so-called
uewpaper" pictures
proposed by the makers aad for
a Ions; time the public lu geui
era has learned that the hall,
awrk of the newspaper report
er Is a big pencil and ; little
notebook. Even in the! fea
ture movies which have pur.
ported to depict newspaper life
"as la" the reporter invariably
has been equipped with the
traditional "props' popularly
supposed to indicate his catting.
All this in spite of the fact
that no real reporter so far
as known ever carried n note,
book aad that most of them re
ly on either scraps of paper,
old envelopes, or even their
memories, and also that many
of them frequently are forced
to borrow pencils fat momenta
of urgent need. There has been -so
much talk about thai re
cently that the New Statesman
undertook to find out what
Salem residents think of report,
era in general and. the note
book and pencil idea In par.
timUr. Here Is what resulted:
THE REV. FRED C. TAY
LOR, pastor of the First
Methodist church, said: "Per
sonally. I prefer to know be.
forehand when I am to be In
terviewed, and I want the re
porter to use pencil and pad to
get things straight."
W. A. PETIT. Oregoalan
statehouse reporter, said:
"Whether a newspaper report
er should use pad and pencil
when seeking an interview de
pends, in a large measure, on
the ability and training, of the
reporter and the nature of the
interview. There is no question
but that the pad and pencil, to
the extent of making a few
notes, are effective in avoiding
errors in newspaper stories.
In seeking interviews where'
the questions Involved are
technical the pad and pencil are
indispensable. In interviews of
minor importance the inter,
viewer may trust his memory
with, some degree of : safety.
When In - doubt use : pad and
.pencil" Y:
ALBERT RICHARD WET
JEN, Salem fiction writer said:
"A bootlegger without moon
shine or a woman without her
lipstick, would be more helpless
than a reporter without pencil
and paper. The three things
that a reporter needs are pen
cil, paper' and plenty of brass.
The ancient Hittites, who are
reputed to hare invented the
art of writing, didn't send their
news hounds out with chisel
and block of marble with which
to take notes, but since mere
portable writing materials have
been Invented, reporters have
never been without them."
A. L. LINDBECK. Salem
correspondent for a Portland
newspaper, said: "Whatever
the theory of the proposition
may be. a reporter needs to use
paper and pencil if be Is going
to be accurate. No. I don't
think he needs to display his
wrltlng materials all the timer
but he has to have them handy
if he is going to get names,
dates and figures right."
MRS. BYRON D. ARNOLD,
formerly of Salem, said: "I
consider a pencil and paper in
dlspensible to the' reporter al
though I do not consider . it
good psychology to write, in

In November
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1. (AP)
President. Plutareo Ellas Calles
in the most emphatic, terms today
refused to continue in office after
the, expiration of his term Novem
ber 30. solemnly asserting, more
over, that he never at any time
will again be President of Mexico.
This declaration, - - one of' the
most Important presidential mes
sages in ' the history .' of Mexico,
came in the course of the presi
dent's address ' upon the conven
ing of the new congress in its reg
ular four-month session this af
ternoon. ; : : - - .'
Patriot ism Urged
The president urged that only
considerations of highest patrio
tism guide congress in its selec
tion of a provisional president to
succeed him in December, and he
appealed to the army and leaders
of all phases of Mexican life to
conduct themselves with sober re
straint for the best interests of
the country la one of the most
solemn moments of Its history.
President Calles deplored the
"irreparable loss" to the country
resulting from the' assassination
of the president-elect, General Al
varo' Obregon, and lamented the
situation which it had thrust upon
the country.
But, he said, this situation pre
sented the opportunity for Mexico
to attain new political oreatation
by establishing institutions aad
law, not one Individual, at the
supreme government.
