The Oregon Newspaper Publish ers' association named the follow ing chairmen, Giles L. Trench, of the Sherman County Journal on the resolutions committee: Merle R, Chessman, Astoria .. Budget, chairman; E. B. Aldrieh of the Pendleton Et Oregonian, and Lars Bladine, McMinnville Telephone-Register. - Speakers at the morning session were Richard 11.

Hulten, of the University of Oregon school of journalism, and Oanrel Ellis, news editor of the Hillsboro Ar gus, and Peter Laurs, news editor of the Oregon City Enterprise. Mr. Clark's paper dealt with ' Testing Trends in Public Opin ion," and termed newspaper polls "a brand new technique of re porting." "Telling readers, what THEY think about local and national is tues is a function that cannot be taken away by outsiders. It is a function reserved solely for the local newspaper," he ssid. Ha outlined technique of taking polls and supplied formulae for making the polls as accurate as possible often withfn 1 per cent, "The function of polls is not only to conduct pre-election sur veys." he said. "A major service of local opinion polls is to audit public sentiment between elections on important public issues. They test merchandising preferences. They measure trends in public opinion. They act as guides to the editor." Mr. Hulten, speaking on "Latest Trends in the Law of the Press," discussed the rights of privacy or persons mentioned In news stor ies and expressed pleasure over me met mat libel suits are de creasing throughout the nation. "I should like to aay that I am happy to see that the epidemic of libel suita of several years ago la en the wane. And It is of the na ture of an epidemic, flaring up, flying aown, lor no apparent res on. .

Papers, Democracy Is Topic 01 Sterling (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Democrats Plan Dinner At Portland cenee, Mr. Hulten discussed criticism of the courts, election laws as related to newspapers, the recommends tions of grand juries and other court action whjrh. find their way into newspaper columns. , Highlight of the evening ses alon will be the banquet at the Osburn hotel at 8:30 p. m., with Dean Erie W. Allen of the Uni versity school of Journalism serv ing as toastmaster. Speaker of the OVERCOATS Are Irlllnr Aa Low As $9.15 J at DeNEFFE'S Oregon democrat will gather Saturday evening in Portland at the Portland hotel en Andrew Jackson day, The banquet will be at 6:30 p. m. with Amanda J. Hart, president of the Oregon Jackson clubs, In charge. Mrs. Hart was one of Oregon' five elector whs cut ballot recently in Salem for President Roosevelt. Paul N. Plank, state president of the Young Democratic clubs of Oregon, and Chester N. Anderson of Eugene are among these plan ning to attend the dinner. Mrs. Hart announces that among the speakers will be Oregon's former governor, Oswald West, former Congressman Elton Wat kins, and Victor "Vic" Meyers, present lieutenant governor of Washington who was re-elected. Oregon Young Democrats will hold another of their state execu tive meetings this Sunday, Jen. 12, In Portland, following the Jackson dinner that will be held Saturday evening. It Is expected that the group will decide at this meeting the dale and place of the next state convention that will bf new this year. Several Oreswn cities are bidding for It but to far the convention ha not been awarded. Hood River is asking that It be held this year at the to correctly predict the outcome of the reeent election have 'miss ed the boat,' for it is not the function of a newspaper to tell the people how to vote. The newspaper doe not reform or remake society, it only report it." A sense of Integrity, of fair play and the policy of trying to paint both sides of every picture is essential, Mr. sterling believes, if the newspapers are to continue keeping the confidence of the public. "No newspaper has ever lost any influence that it deserv ed to keep," he declared. "The privately-owned press, and thank God that's the only kind w have in America," the editor declared, "goes hand in hand with our other right of free speech, right to worship, toi to assemble. In every country where the control of the press ha pass ed Into the hand of the govern- rnent, the people ere no longer tree. Hitler and Mussolini have noth ing new in the way of a public press used for propaganda pur poses, the editor said. They heve only "torn a leef from Oliver Cromwell's book," who In l4n imposed censorship on the Eng lish newspapers. Democracy may seem cumber some and unwieldy, Mr. Sterling declared in conclusion, but this is what makes it effective. "If our type of government is to continue we must cherish the vir tues of good will, mutuality, tol erance and a sens of humor. We must learn not to sound off until our ideas have had a chance to jell thi is the message of the church, the school and the news paperof democracy!" A brief glance into the life of a soldier at Camp Murray, Wash ington, was given by Bill Peltier, a Eugene Boy now serving With the medical corps, who is home for a few days' leave of absence. "It seems good to sit down at a table with a table cloth,"- he said. He described a typical day between reveile and taps, and said that the most important lesson the boys were learning was to. do what they're told Just as fast aa they can, ing the aid-te-Brltain legislation. I announced that he had signed proclamation requiring copper, brass, bronze, sine, nickel and pot ash to be exported only under ex port licenses, effective Feb. 3. These materials, he said, are need ed for American defense. The president told reporter that he did not necessarily want the powers apparently contained in the British aid bill, but that some body must have it in order to take quick action. He replied in the negative when asked whether the legislation would have the effect of repealing! the neutrality act ban against loans to belligerents and the Johnson act prohibition against credits to world war debt defaulters. The president told his press conference, however, that the lan guage employed in the bill that equipment loans could be made "notwithstanding" any prior act was the usual phrase in legisla tion and was required to avoid conflict of laws. If there is any conflict, thejsres. ident said, the later law supersedes the prior law. In reply to a question from Sen' ator Vandenburg (R-Mlch.) Bark. ley said it was planned to have the house end senate foreign af fairs committees consider the legislation simultaneously in order to speed action. After Speaker Raybura referred the bill to the house foreign affairs committee. Chairman May (R-Ky) of the military committee told re porters that it was clearly a de fense measure and should be stud led by his own group. Food Stamps Due January 27 (CONTIXIED FROM PAGE 1) Springfield Woodcraft Meeting Attracts Thirty-Five how the plan works, as follow: "The food stamp plan was estab lished primarily to increase agri cultural Income by creating de mand for urp!u farm products. It i intended also to increase the food consumption of needy fam ilies. For this reason, surplus commodities are received in addi tion to, and not In lieu of, the us ual food-budget allowances. Gen erally, under the plan, families certified for participation may purchase with their relief pay ments and other cash resources orange-colored food stamps. For each dollar worth of orange (tamp purchased, the family re- i eeives SO cents worth of blue tamp in addition at no cost. "The orange-colored stamps may be used to purchase any food pro duct sold in retail stores; they may not be used to buy tobacco or alcoholic beverages. The blue stamps may be used to purchase at retail prices only those agricul tural commodities listed as sur plus In the current surplus-commodity bulletin Issued by the U. 5. department of agriculture. "For example, a person employ ed on WPA earning $50.70 a month may purchase $30 or orange food stamps and with the purchase he would receive $15 in blue stamp free, a total of stamps redeemable for $45 for which he paid only $30. This Increases his income to approximately $65 per month; the $50.70 wage, plus the $19 addi tional food stamp allowance. All others who participated would benefit corresponding to the amount of orange stamp purchas ed. "The blue stamps are redeemed by the federal government as a part of the aid program.
