They demand absolute, unfettered free dom, and forthwith grind out unfree thoughts and words for their "protected” readers. Perhaps the greatest cradle of the real free press of America is in the small town publications—prin cipally the weeklies—which still delight in referring to crooks as crooks, bum politicians as bum politicians, and damned fools as such. And. it might be pointed out, the only reason they have been able to get awa^' with it without being sued out of their buildings and hell boxes is because objects of their candor know- darned well they wouldn’t have much if the court gave ’em keys and deeds to the weeklies and a year’s supply of newsprint as balm. • Mr and Mrx .1 W McCoy re turned Sunday from San Fran- > cisco after two wix-kx vacation ■ there • Mri Arthur King inec Fern Madden) arrived Tuesday from Rio Vixta, Calif , to vlxit her par ent«, Mr anil Mix A A Madden , • Mr and Mr« A I.

Although a radio voice which says anything def inite is a refreshing variation of the usual ethereal utterings, there is one Boake Carter whose bosom bursts with bias, and whose diatribes against the ad ministration are a continual harangue that grows tiresome atfer continued audience. Carter, it must be admitted, is one of the few radio prominents w*ho actually says anything, even if (Continued from List Week) he is consistently anti-administration and, for that Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hexsenauer matter, practically anti-everything.

Perhaps one of the most loudly defended attributes of the newspaper business is the “free press.” The most talked about quality, and probably the least em ployed. The same publication that will howl to the high heavens whenever congress or a court ruling is feared threatening freedom of the press will be the most grov eling, the most biased, the most timorous influence in the community. Dailies, particularly, have softened their moral fiber to the point where they will unequivocably fore cast that tomorrow will be Saturday, or will come out with a two-fisted campaign against crime or floods or disease. Beyond the obvious issues, many such pub lications who hold holy their “freedom” will wink at local graft, align with the winning political party, shun the offending of large advertisers, avoid contro versial issues and straddle moral fences with all the noble aplomb of a befeathered crusader. Then there is another type of free press defender —the rag that daily gives a blow-by-blow criticism Christmas . . .

Disgusting, brazen and impudent was the bombing and machine-gunning of the Panay, American gunboat near Nanking, last week. But more insulting than the overt act was the “apology” offered by the Japanese high command al- most preceding the event. The bombing was not a mistake, and the machine- gunning of lifeboats was not by error, The incident was as much a “mistake” as is the undeclared war against China—w hich nevertheless is war indeed. International deceit and make-believe have reached a new low point when nations protect their “peace by invading peaceful neighbors, and “non-intervene by sending hundreds of thousands of troops to a “civil war. Had the Japanese slapped our President’s face, they could have insulted the American people no more. Al though this country is desirous of maintaining peace, a more hostile attitude towards such makers of war might quiet their belligerence. Turning the other cheek to a bully not only is hard on the other cheek, but also encourages him to continued abuses. Mlgl WL I lly EARI. NN ELI.
