SIX MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, April IS. 1952 Newsmen Complain Of Extra Barriers By Federal Bureaus By LYLE C. WILSON Washington ttl.R) Newsmen are beginning 1o complain of extraordinary barriers being erected against them by some government officials, notably in the Defense Mobilization area. One nearly frustrated reporter said the contrast with conditions a year ago is an unhappy one. Reporters then could get to top mobilization officials quickly and easily. They generally are unavailable now unless they want to get in print something favorable to their agency or their own slant on a situation. Standard Procedure There is a standard operating procedure now in the office of Presidential Aide John R. Steel man, who succeeded Charles E. Wilson as defense mobilizer. Re porters with questions must sub mit them to Steelman's public re lations officer. This official passes them on to his boss. Reporters are at a disadvan tage in pressing for an answer. They are unable to pursue fur ther angles which the answer might develop, or to clarify it in any way, unless they again go through the written question process. Discussion Refused Economic Stabilization Admin istrator Roger L. Putnam liter ally has been refusing recently to discuss with newsmen any thing except the weather. Wash ington's spring is lovely but not always news. Price Controller Ellis Arnall is an exception but no mine of news nuggets. Arnall succeeded Michael DiSalle early this year. He meets newsmen regularly but wants everything off the record. The Defense Mobilization crackdown on news gathering comes as the American Society of Newspaper Editors gathers here in annual meeting. The editors' society challenged Presi dent Truman last year to justify the national defense security reg ulations which he issued to cover all government operations and which the editors called censor- Toastmasters Install New Officers Monday Dr. William Thompson was in stalled as president of the Med ford Toastmasters Club at Mon day meeting held at the Medford hotel. He succeeds Walter Nun ley. Other officers seated last night were Norman Kollin, vice-president; Fred Burnett, secretary treasury, and Jim Taylor, ser-geant-at-arms. Installing officer was Dan Hull, governor of the Southern Oregon-Northern Cal ifornia area of Toastmasters International. The range of the water ouzel (or dipper) extends from Alaska to Central America in the moun tains of Western North America ship. Mr. Truman denied any censor ship was involved. The editors were and are unconvinced. Mo bilization officials do not cite Mr. Truman's regulations as their authority for slowing the news flow. Whether they were influ enced consciously or otherwise by the regulations is not evident. But that their doors are usu ally closed to reporters is a fact about which protests from the men and women on the scene are more likely than not to increase. fix A rT W ."'

Missing Youngster Found in Montana Vancouver, Wash. ttl.R) The Clark county sheriff's office said Tuesday that Diana Goodsen, 8, missing since April 1, had been found in Shelby, Mont,, with her mother and a friend. The trio was picked up by the Shelby police after warrants had been issued here charging the mother, Mrs. Betty Goodsen, and the man, Marvin Prentiss, with second degree kidnaping. Prentiss was identified as the man who on April 1 talked with Diana during the noon hour at the Orchards, Wash., school. When Diana failed to return home, Mr. and Mrs. Wiliam Stamper, who are in the process of adopting the child, notified authorities. Mrs. Goodsen signed papers early in March releasing all claim to her daughter. 'FIRST CITIZEN' DIES Seattle iU.R) Attorney E. L. Skeel, one-time "first citizen" of Seattle and Chamber of Com merce president, died Monday at his home following a four-month illness. He was 70. Principal timber-management problems of the Bureau of Land Management in Alaska are fire prevention and control. 8 o yifi' J FACULTY FOLLIES CAN-CAN Beverly Bennett (right) gives pointers to three Southern Oregon college staff members who will appear in the faculty follies Thursday, Friday and Satur day.
