Washington W A record vote
"jNov. 4 is predicted by editors
jof some of the nation's leading
newspapers who agree that this
;jis one of the hottest presidential
icontests in history.
The editors, who came here
jfor a week-end meeting of the
directors of the American So-
' ciety of . Newspaper Editors
j(ASNE), said this campaign has
1 ..brought more pressure on the
press and more criticism from
partisans of both sides than any
.other pre-election news coverage
In memory.

y Interviewed:
.if James S. Pope, executive edl
'Sor of the Louisville Courler
;Joiirnal and Times, which are
I supporting Gov. Adlai Steven
son, Democratic nominee for
. president:
j "I have become convinced of
"Jne thing: Readers cannot judge
the objectivity of a newspaper in
6 presidential campaign for the
simple reason that they cannot
read objectively. Most of them
$o not want objectivity they
want their side favored.

s-..f "Many Republicans complain
: that our news stories about Nix
on were 'Democratic propagan
da, until Nixon made his televi
' lion speech; then Democrats
started complaining that stories
about Nixon were 'Republican
' propaganda.'
: "Some Democrats think we are
trying to hurt Stevenson by put-1
ting on page one accounts of
xruman's attacks on Ike: but
if we played Truman down, just
as many Democrats would
scream."
4 Pope added: "It is fairly easy
-;to keep news even as between
f.Wlai and Ike, . but Truman
' throws things off balance."

I Journal:
"The only other presidential
campaign lean recall which
reached so high an emotional
level was the Al Smith-Herbert
Hoover campaign of '28. The
emotions aroused there were of
one kind religious.
"In this campaign we have nu
merous emotional currents, rang
ing from grievances against the
Truman administration to re
sentments within the Republi
can party because Sen. Taft was
not the nominee.
"Newspapers can only print
the news as accurately as it
comes to us. I suppose that so
long as the shadow of Russia
falls across the world and fear
is in the minds of men, the
public is going to be extremely
edgy, suspicious, and angry tem
porarily at facts that do not
please it."
"Intensity of feeling about the
presidential contest has been re
flected even in an increase in
service complaints" to his news
papers, said Gideon Seymour,
executive editor of the Minne
apolis Star and Tribune.
"A woman called me about 2
o'clock one morning and said
that several pages in the second
section of her Evening Star were
blank.
"I expressed regret, and ex
plained that this happened when
we changed newsprint rolls on
the press and that while we tried
to throw out all imperfect copies
we didn't always succeed. I
told her that if she'd give me
her name and address I'd have
a better copy delivered to her.
" 'Oh, no,' she replied. 'I
like it. I was just calling up
to tell you how much better your
paper would be these days if
you always left half the pages
blank!' "

Mark Hatfield
Prods Marshall
Rep. Mark Hatfield, dean of
men at Willamette university,
dispatched a letter to General
George C. Marshall, in which he
held that the general was shirk
ing a real responsibility in not
casting a vote In the coming
presidential election. Hatfield's
letter to Gen. Marshall reads:
"I was astounded to read in
the press of your statement that
you did not intend to vote in
the national elections and that,
furthermore, you have never
voted.
"In my humble opinion you
are shirking a real responsibil
ity in that you have knowledge
of the two presidential candi
dates afforded very few Ameri
cans. We who have not had the
opportunity to know both Mr.
Eisenhower and Mr, Stevenson
personally must acquaint our
selves with them through the
radio, television or the news
paper. "From your personal knowl
edge of the candidates are we to
conclude your evaluation of
them for the most important
position in the land is a tossup
or are we to assume from your
past abstinence from voting that
the exercising of your demo
cratic franchise is not impor
tant? "It is indeed difficultf or those
of us who teach college students
to convey to them the responsi
bility of voting when a man
who has held such a high gov
ernmental position comes out
with a statement such as yours.
With the realization that the
military often prefers to abstain
from active participation in pol
itics we nevertheless, recall that
you were a civilian in the dem
ocratic administration for sev
eral years engaged in formulat
ing a policy that has had inter
national repercussoins to the
present day. Moreover, men In
the service are urged to cast
their absentee ballots but the
thousands who served under
vou must be wonderintf what
'good their votes do when you
do not deem it important to
cast your own."
