NEW YORK, Oct. 18. AP) Free
dom of the press was called more Im
portant to the nation as a whole than
to newspapers alone, by Colonel Prank
Knox today In a speech at the Herald
Tribune's forum on current prob
lems. . - -
"Newspapers," said the Chicago
publisher, "can and do survive under
censorship and bureaucratlo control,
but public liberty languishes and dies.
"The maintenance of a free press
touches the life and freedom of the
farmer at his plow, the worker at his
bench, the banker at his' desk,
much as It does the editor in his of
fice. The liberty of them all Is en
dangered ' when this freedom Is
abridged or destroyed."
Important Utility
Colonel Knox, whose name has been
mentioned In connection with specu
lation over the 1936 republican presi
dentlal nominee, called the modern
newspaper "the most Important of
public utilities" and said It. "must
be administered with a high sense of
obligation to the public."
Newspaper publishers as a class, he
said, would "go down. If go down
they must, before a world-wide swing
to personal dictatorships, with the
torch of liberty still held aloft and
burning."
Calling publicity . the "dictator's
deadliest foe," he said:
"Not in Russia, Germany, Austria or
Italy Is there to be lound anything
that remotely approaches a free press.
All newspapers are closely censored as
to both news and editorial content
and, with, the destruction of a free
press in those countries, swiftly fol
lowed the like destructlpn of all other
human rights.
"The reappearance of human lib
erty and freedom In those regions,
now ruled bylictators, will be simul
taneous with the reappearance of
' a free press.
Must Be Worthy -
"The press must continue to be
free at all costs," he said, "but It
must also be worthy, be true to pro
fessional Ideals, be above price, be
superior to cold commercialism, con
stitute Itself the guardian, not only
of the single but vital right of free
speech, but also of honesty in pub
lic service.
"It must be a bulwark against evil
' and selfish control of our affairs; al
wnys the foe of demagogue and un
scrupulous racketeers; it must be the
enemy of those who debauch popular
faith In and loyalty to a sound sys
tem of private and public morals,
and, above all, It must dedicate Its
news columns to the public for the
public's accurate Information and its
editorial columns to honesty and
fearlessly expressed opinion."

Suffers Breakdown
EL PASO, Tex., Oct. 18. (AP) A.
B. Fall, former secretary of the Inter
ior who recently was disturbed by
efforts to dispossess him of his Tres
Ritos ranch In New Mexico, was 111
today In an El Paso hospital.
He was brought here yesterday from
the ranch, suffering a breakdown.
Doctors said he spent a restless night
but his condition did not appear critical.
It's a treat even to young screen
stars to have Honey Maid Graham
crackers and milk served In the mid
dle of the afternoon or any other
time of the day for that matter. So
say Helen Westcott and Merwln Lu
cas, yung Hollywood celebrities. Hel
en was charming as "Cobweb" in the
Warner Bros, film versions of "Mid
summer Night's Dream." Merwln has
appeared In several important recent
films.
AH active youngsters enjoy the de
licious combination of rich, pure
milk and golden graham crackers.
And all wise mothers know, that this
combination is Just packed with
healthy nourishment. Every child, say
aumuriiieo, snuuiu aruiK an u
quart of milk a day. And Honey Maids
not only make this more palatable,
but add their share of bone and mus- :
cle building food values.
Made from selected graham flour
and pure, delicious honey, these gold
en squares of goodness are relished
by the children on every occasion.
Serve them with milk or fruit or des
sert and you'll find thoy get a rous
ing welcome from the youngsters.
Helen and Merwln are very busy
young persons, with both school and
studio to occupy their time. They
need lots of extra, wholesome nour
ishment. But probably not any more
than any other healthy children. For
children are always 6n the go; if it
isn't acting In pictures it's play-acting
or baseball. And for all these ac
tivities Honey Maids and milk will
furnish the plus fuel needed 'or
sturdy growth.

nual convention with 500 publishers
and advertising experts present. Ham
declared:
"Publishers all over the United

roborated, too, by the increase in
newspaper advertising lineage."

ed that after four years of declining

tain objectives, we believe newspapers
