AP Answers
Suit Denies
Monopoly
NEW YORK, Oct .-Answering
a federal anti-trust suit,
the Associated Press denied Tues
day that it is a monopoly and said
that "a free press requires ' that
newspapers shall be free to col-
feci and 'distribute news . . . .
. and that they shall be free to
choose their associates in so do-
.: in." -:
' The department of justice en-
- tered the monopoly charges in a
, suit asking the courts to direct AP
. to make its services available to
. anyone able to pay for them in-
stead of serving a membership of
Jts choosing on its present non
profit, cooperative basis.
In filing its answer in federal
district court, the association as
serted: - ' . , .
. "A corollary of the assertion
by the government of the right to
determine who may be associ
ates in collecting and distribut-
- ing news is the assertion by the
government of the right to deter
mine what news shall be collect
ed and distributed and under
what conditions. The congress has
never asserted any right or pow
er to regulate newspapers or news
' agencies in the collection or dis
tribution of news." - i
.The association farther de
clared that "the standard ef an
, Impartial and unbiased report
' log ef the news which has been
achieved by the operation of ;
AP wider the control of Its
- members, ceald not survive the
transition of sues members to
, the role of mere customers
' purchasing; news on a price
.:. :-"r.-;.--
The AP said that it was organ-
lzed to make possible the dissem-
ination - of unbiased news and
"the cooperative character of its
organization has been and i$ di
rectly responsible, for the ac
complishment of such purpose
and rendering by AP of a serv
- Ice which the government itself
. acknowledges to be nf vital im
portance to the national welfare."
The impartial and unbiased
character of AP news, the answer
continued,-, was assured by the
fact a cross section of opinion ex
isted among members and by the
fact this membership had the
power "to invoke disciplinary ac
tion against any member who de
parts, from the standard of in
tegrity In reporting and publish
ing AP news."
. The answer ofj approximately
7000 words comprised a general
denial of the government's com
plaint of 14,000 words filed in a
. civil action here August 28. -

The more than 400 educators in

school sports should be continued
but be made a project of second
er yimportance in the face of
rationing and other war condi
tions. Tlrst job of the school admin
istrator, the conference . resolution
declared, is to carry a complete
program for the maintenance of

recognize that four hours a day
was the maximum that pupils

study in school.
Other conference recommenda
tions included:
' That high schools grant op to
two units (four credits) to
ward high school graduation,

was urged that requirements
for boys about to enter military
service be flexibly Interpreted
by school administrators.
- That the high schools make use
of the proposed program provid
ing pre-induction training for
juniors in all Oregon high schools,
with the use of equipment and
teaching facilities available If
the financial load is too heavy
federal funds would be sought.
That school administrators con
tinue to insist that information
concerning such matters as ration
ing, regulations and transporta
tion be channeled to the, local
schools through the state educa
tional department.
That the Oregon high schools
wholeheartedly support and ad
vance the objectives sought

Nazi Training
Of Saboteurs
Described .
CHICAGO,. Oct 27-(ff)- The
story of how eight nasi saboteurs
were carefully trained to destroy -American
war plants, rail lines
and utilities was told in full detail
Tuesday by one of ' the German
agents. '
The account was biven by Er
nest Peter Burger, a graduate of
the Reich's Brandenburg school
of sabotage, at the federal court
trial of six Chicagoans charged
with treason.
Speaking with a heavy accent
the dark, 35-year-old plotter re
lated how he and his henchmen
rehearsed destructive deeds in the
abortive attempt to cripple war
production in general and airplane
output in particular a plot that
ended when Burger and one ' of
his confederates were sentenced to
prison and their six associates
were executed August 8 in Wash
ington.' :
Burger, the first government
witness, was asked by District At
torney J. Albert Woll if any in
dustries were especially earmarked
for sabotage.
"Yes," he replied. "The Alcoa
aluminum corporation plants in
Los Angeles, Oregon and so on.
We also were instructed to blow
up rail lines connecting aluminum
plants."
The highlights of Burger's word
picture of the training for sabo
tage in this country were these:
The school was on an estate out
side Brandenburg. He and the oth
ers were trained there from April
11 to 30, 1942. On the grounds
were pits, towers, railroad tracks
and simulated buildings used in
practicing blasts.
The pupils were tutored by a
Lieut Koppe and others in the
arts of handling explosives and
incendiaries, buying, mixing and
igniting chemicals, making timing
devices and detonators from pen
and pencil sets and watches, and
practicing boat landings on a lake.
They also toured German in
dustrial areas to learn how to sa
botage transformers and to put
locomotives and cars out of com
mission by placing sand in journal
boxes and fouling oil systems.
They even were given draft and
social security cards to establish
false identifications in the US.

Taxes on Ggarcttes, Income

(This is one of a .series of stories explaining measures' and describe

" By PAUL W., HARVEY.
Salem Associated Press Correspondent.
Seven measures will be on Oregon's general election ballot
next Tuesday, but if the voters are in their usual mood, most of
them will be defeated.
There were nine measures
all of them were rejected.
The electorate will jet chance
to levy a cigarette tax, to prevent
motor vehicle, .taxes from being
used for any purpose other, than
for roads, , and to distribute .all
state income tax receipts In excess
of $7,750,000 a year to school dis
tricts.
The cigarette tax bin, passed
by the 1941. legislature, would
tax cigarettes at two cents a
package, the revenue to be split,
fire-sixths for old age pensions
and one-sixth for vocational ed
ucation. Tobacco manufacturers,
growers and ssnokera succeeded
fat getting the bin referred to the

The opponents . charge that the
bill is unfair in that it taxes cig
arette smokers but not pipe or
cigar smokers, and that there are
enough new taxes being levied by
the government. Those who want

-- Oregon, unlike many other

There have been many attempts

of this money for other purposes,

department. To relieve the
situation at Oregon State, a group

teachers from Oregon College of
Education were transferred to the
