Yet the chances are that loon as w'c Armstrong LINOLEUM Expert Installation .YONS & PETERS 1203 Willamette and GEORGE ZIEIKE J anonymous statement their name as author of it will spread quickly around town and out into the country. So why be anonymous? For special unselfish reasons of his own or occasionally because he is genuinely publicity shy an omciai may desire to give im portant information while re maining unnamed. Much back ground material is given that way. On New Year's eve one of the highest officials in Washington called for a press conference. He told the assembled newspapermen for publication that the rail and steel strikes were a "great tragedy" helping the axis. He said his name could not be used. His statement was attribut ed to a high source. Yet his po sition was so prominent and his public statements so few that, if his name had been used, what he had to say undoubtedly would have been far better publicized than it was. He wished publicity for his Announcing that we are moving to 865 Willamette St. Our store will be closed, but the office will remain open at 6th and Willamette. CAREY'S views or he would net have talked I for publication. Then why didn't he assure for himself the widest possible publicity for his state ment through use of his name? That's his secret. His reasoning was his own. Labor was quick to resent not only the statement and its im plications but its anonymous character, since labor was involv ed in it. Labor asked a senate committee to smoke out the per son responsible for it. Senator Truman (D-Mo.), head of the committee, declined to investigate but regretted the statement ever had been made. Finally AFL President William Green said Gen. Marshall was "reported" to be the statement's author and asked proof of its va rious charges. Only about two weeks ago an other official, also one of the highest in Washington, suddenly unexpectedly predicted that with in 90 days American casualties would triple those in the first two years of this country s war. He, too, made the statement for publication but for some reason of his own would not permit use of his name. So that statement also had to be attributed to a high au thority. But what was his reason for anonymity? . All of this brings up a final question: Should statements from offic ials, no matter how high, be Ignor ed if they insist on anonymity? If that happened then the pub lic would not know what their top officials were saying and thinking even it those officials did not want their names linked with their ideas and words. The only ones who would know, in such an arrangement, would be a handful of Washington news papermen who are responsible for keeping the public informed on Washington developments but who could not then do so. , .
