Journal, who spoke Informally of
hia experiences before the Salem
Realty board Friday noon. Em
ployed with the Journal since 1019,
Lindbeck has been in a position to
observe many changes and contact
many public officials.
Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner typifies the
newspaperman's best friend, Lind
beck said as he reviewed the vari
ous personalities. Lindbeck said
that Dr. Stelner in addition to
knowing a story when he saw it,
was always willing to put all of hi
cards on the table and trust In tha
reporter's sense of fairness to pro
tect him. This method of keeping
a story out of print is one of the
best developed, since the reporter
is requested to keep the confidence
entrusted in him.
Four state departments keep fun
time publicity departments, each
one of which grinds out reams of
propaganda from which tha news
papciman must sift the wheat from
the chaff. These department are
the military, secretary of state, ag-x
rlculture and unemployment com
pensation commission.
Of the present crop of officials,
Lindbeck, termed Earl SnelL secre

approached. Of the entire lot he

tic. He added that he found most
officials extremely cooperative in
the matter of publicity and were
helpful wherever possible.
