Publishers President Says
Pressure, Powerful Or
ganized Propaganda and
Politics Trouble Papers
HEW YORK. April 21 AP)-rJ-roma
D. Barnum. publisher of the
Syracuse (N. Y.) Post-Standard, told
the American Newspaper Publishers'
association today crltlcLsm of the
press frequently "comes from sources
that do not want full and free dis
cussion." President of the association. Mr.
Barnum addressed publlahers of news
papers with leas than 80.000 circula
tion, whose meeting started the four
day Jubilee aesalon of the publishers
association.
Criticism of the pres. particularly
In the past year." Mr. Barnum said,
"may be attributed to the aggres
sive policy of large city papers, as
well as the small city papers. In pre
senting all sides of great public ques.
tlona despite pressure. politics and
powerful organized propaganda from
many sources."
Selfish Aim.
"It comea," he said, "from advo
cates who willingly would subvert
freedom of the press and freedom
of speech to their own special plead
ings." Barnum added that regardless ol
the difference of opinion on the edi
torial positions of Individual news
papers, "wo know that crltlcalm ol
'nil ncwspapera collectively la often
unfair and unwarranted."
"The proof Is the record of dally
performance by 2000 family news
papers In the United States serving
the public with Informative news on
current events and questions on every
subject of national, state, or local
Interest," Barnum said.
Tank More lllUlrult.
Be added that "the function of a
newspaper, whether the particular
publication la large or email, Is to
maintain and disseminate Informa
tion In the form of news, editorial
comment pr advertsing."
John Ij. Stewart, publisher of the
Washington (Pa.) Observer, chair
man or the small-cltles division, told
Jala fellow-publishers that "there Is
no doubt that the publisher of a
newspaper In a small community has
a more difficult task before htm than
ever before."
Stewart said the foundation stone
of a successful newspaper "Is reader
confidence."

Plans at Hearing On
Agriculture Department
Appropriation Measure
WASHINGTON, April 21. (A(P)

program.
Secretary Wallace and H. R. Tolley.
agricultural adjustment administra
tor, msde that disclosure to a house
sub-committee In hearings on the
agriculture department appropria
tion bill, submitted today to the
house.
Each expressed a belief additional
legislation, supplementing the soil
conservation act, would be needed to
obtain for the farmer his rightful
share of the national income. Tolley
added, however, he did not know how
production control could be legislated
In view of the supreme court's AAA
decision.
(The court held In that case that
the federal government could not
regulate crop production.)
Five-Point Program.
The agriculture department, Tolley
said, had been studying crop pro
duction control as part of a five
point program which would be ad
ded to soil conservation activities in
an attempt to bring farm Income
and prices to parity with those of In
dustry. The other part that have been
under, consideration for two or throe
months,' he said, are:
1. Expansion of commodity loans
on product held In storage by fsrm
ers to keep excess supplies, in years
of heavy yields, from depressing
prices.
3. Payment to farmers, In addition
to soil conservation benefits, for ad
ditional acreage reductions In years
when supplies become too large.
3. Continued purchase of surplus
es to remove them from the market.
4. Speaking of possibilities of as
suring farmers stability of income,
Wallace said: "I think that a sys
tem of commodity - loans, backed in
the end by production control that
wll sustain the commodity loans, will
bring about that stability."
Control Seen Needed.
'In order to bo sure that the whole
program would not fall down on ac
count of an Increase In particular
supplies piling up In granaries, the
failure on the part of the farmers to
make the proper adjustments." Tol
ley said, "I feel that there should be
provision, If possible, for definite nnd
positive production control of spe
cific commodities If and when sup
plies get out of hand.
"It would be our hope, of course,
that this last resort of step would be
something that would be put Into ef
fect only under very exceptional cir
cumstances." A bit Inter, Rep. McFarlane (D.-
Tex.) remarked: "I would like to

CHICAGO, April 21. ( AP) Re
cording of every family's medical
history for diagnostic purposes hold
the secret to longevity and freedom
from disease, Dr. Maud Slye, noted
cancer research scientist, said today.
The pathologist, who has studied
hereditary cancerous strains In 160.
000 mice during the la&t 26 years,
asserted that compilation and study
of family tendencies which are passed
on from one generation to another
and the practical application of them
"would In time eliminate cancer." t
Cites Mouse Record.
"I succeeded through the use of
records and scientific breeding in
completely eliminating the cancerou
strains in many families of mice,"
Dr. Slye said. "But, this was only
possible through bookkeeping."
Volumes of records are kept In her
laboratory, sketching the hereditary
trait from generation to generation.
"From these records," she said, "1
can predict with a very small margin
of error what will cause the death
of every mouse In the laboratory."
"Human records should be kept In
a central bureau for the use of the
medical profession. The government
has succeeded in filing the records
of some 7,000,000 criminals; the same
could be done with family health
charts."
If human beings could be bred like
mice, she said . ca ncer a nd ma ny
other diseases would be eliminated
in a few generations.
Knowledge (.allied.
Dr. Slye, who had bred mice
through more than 100 generations,
said In an Interview that her 30
years of research reveoled:
1. That cancer susceptibility la In
heritable. 2. That it la possible to breed out
this susceptibility to a given type
and location of malignancy.
3. That cancer can be bred into a
family by mating with members of
families carrying the various types of
malignancy.
At the same time Dr. Slye offered
a three-point program for cancer
prevention:
1. Avoidance of intermarriage be
tween persons who ore cancerous, or
whose famllle hava shown suscep
tibility to cancer.
3. Record the medical history of
famlile In a central bureau for diag
nostic purposes.
8. Recognize cancer as a social,
rather than an academic problem
with a view toward It elimination
from the human race.
