"Kennedy a&tretT
Probably tha name, of Ed Kennedy is pretty well forgotten
by the general public, though not among newspapermen. And
.the public will recall it when reference is made to his big
scoop" in filing for the Associated Press the news of the sign
ing of surrender papers by the Germans in the red schoolhouse
at Rhiems. France in May. 1943. For violating the release rule
imposed by the military Kennedy was roundly condemned by achools.
other correspondents, was stripped of his credentials by th
army and on h return to th country was relieved of duty
by the AP. -
Kennedy's defense was that the German radio at Flens
burg had broadcast the news, which meant that the story was
out so there was no further excuse for bottling it up. What
may be regarded as a verdict of acquittal is embraced in an
editorial entitled "Kennedy Cleared" which appears in tha
current issue of Editor and Publisher, recognized as the authen
tic publication dealing with American newspapers. It is only
Juit to Ed Kennedy that the editorial be widely reprinted,
ahuh we do herewith:
ll has taken two yrars for all tha facts ,to coma out about
the German surrender story which Ed Kennedy flashed to tha
oild from Paris. At that time he was censured by the. Army,
ru fellow-correspondents, and many editors here for breaking
confidence and interrupting the plans for a Joint Allied an
nouncement. Now we know that the "joint Allied announcement" was
just in exru cooked up on the spot; Actually, SHAEF had
authorized the German radio station at Flensburg to break tha
atory while the If newsmen who saw the surrender ceremony
were bcttled up by censorship In Paris. The BBC rebroadcast the
' report. It was on its way around the world. Kennedy heard it
ar.ri he told ' the chief censor that Inasmuch as the news had
been ft leased he ho longer felt bound by the pledge. It was stupid
for the military to hold up the news since SHAEF had already
released it.
Had we been in Kennedy's position we are inclined to be
lies we would have attempted to do Just as he did. fCennedy'a
name hu been cleared and we believe that his story will go down -"
in the books as one of the greatest journalistic beats In history.
(Continued from page 1)
about $60,000 in federal taxes.
This is whit Is called progressive
taxauon.
Thus the comparison of what
the poor pay and what the rich
pay in sales taxes is not the com
plete picture.
This argument against a sales
tax is based on the assertion that
it violates the principle of "ability
to pay." That is a very important
teat to apply to a proposed tax,
but not the only one. .There is
also the benefit theory. The rich
are not the only ones to enjoy
police protection, fire
protection, libraries, public sani
tation. The "poor enjoy those
benefits too and should expect to
bear an equitable share of the
cost of providing them.
What I am doing ia to point out
the error of looking at the sales
tax Issue through a single lens
with a fixed focus. Supporters as
well as opponents of the sales tax
make this mistake. I am quite
sure I shall find some blunders in
fact or In logic among the sales
tax boosters while the season for
argument Is open.
