Columnist OSaps DKe For Holding Mews Madison, Wis. (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower is one among a growing number of adminis tration officials "who have vio lated the right of the people to know," a Washington corres pondent said Friday night. Marquis Childs said others vho have held the same atti tude were former President Truman, Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks, Welfare Secre tary Oveta Culp Hobby, At torney General Herbert Brown nell Jr., and Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay. Attacks Attitude Childs said the attitude toward the press in Washington is be coming to "tell them only what is good for them." "It is the attitude increasing ly of the public relations expert rather than the responsible gov ernment ' servant with a true awareness that information in the public domain belongs to the public," Childs told a ban quet gathering at the Univer sity of Wisconsin school of Jour nalism. Childs, a United Features Syndicate columnist and a staff writer for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, said the nation's cap ital also contains "radicals of the extreme right just as ready to destroy existing institutions as are extremists, of the left." Would Back Freedom He said he would not deprive radicals of either wing "of their privilege of saying within the bounds of constitutional free dom what they please." But "what is extraordinary," he said, is to find in press and radio those who seem so fright ened and insecure that they would drive out every opinion that does not conform to their own narrowly reactinary stan ard." He said the nation's press has its greatest opportunity in his tory to "help point the way back to sanity."

Whitehouse, who also is di rector of the CIO Steelworkers' District 25 and a member of the International Executive board of the Steelworkers union, is a lay leader in the Disciples of Christ denomination. He said he has practiced tith ing for year's and the $30,000,000 would be made available to the church and its works if every American family did likewise. l MAGNAVOX PRESENTS ... j rJfJ f I magnificent ir IJ!Ugd(do(I3i7CE)ei rp??$s- "- i3J television - ' r x Ivfe' REVOLUTIONARY NEW The set of Tomorrow Priced for you to enjoy Today!

He said major cities must plan for evacuation. "Those people who live and work near a probable aiming point for a themonuclear wea pon H-bomb cannot hope to sur vive even in shelters if they are there when the bomb goes off," Peterson said. "In my mind, there . is no question as to whether or not we will plan for the evacuation of people in our target cities. The only question is how large an area we will evacuate."
