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."
CIO Leader Endorses
Practice of Tithing
Chicago - (U.R) A leader
of the CIO said Saturday that
every family in the United
States should practice "tithing"
donating a tenth of their in
come to the church and its work.
Albert Whitehouse, president
of the Kentucky CIO Council,
spoke before a national conven
tion of the Laymen's Fellowship
of the Congregational Christian
Churches.
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.

Despite Supports
Asilomar, Calif. U.R) The

supports had reduced the net
farm income in the United
States 25 per cent since 1947.
Not Road to Prosperity
Frank Woolley, of Washing
ton, D. C, told some 225 dele
gates to a leader's conference
of the California Farm Bureau
federation, that the "record of
price fixing in the United States
shows that it is not the road to
prosperity."
"If the government could re
peal the laws of supply and de
mand and guarantee farmers
prosperity.by rigid price fixing,
we would not by trying' so hard
to stop current decline in the
net farm income," he said.
Farm Income Down
"Under rigid 90 per cent price
support, the net farm income
has declined 25 per cent since
1954. .
( "Government c o n tr o 1 s and
price fixing have destroyed ag
riculture production in Russia.
A dictator has had to stand aside
because of a failure so - clear
that even with dictatorial pow
ers he was not able to hide that
failure."

Almost Escaped Monday .
Buongiovanni was shot last
Monday while resisting arrest on
a charge of stealing a gun. Po
lice said he almost escaped when
officers went to his home to ar
rest him.
While the officers were knock

bounded out a rear window but
patrolmen surrounded the area
and shot him during the chase.
Buongiovanni then was taken
to the hospital and placed under
guard in the chest and tubercu

he had to go to the washroom.
Then, Jankowski said, the

No Place To Hide from
H-Bomb, Peterson Say
Washington U.R) Civil
Defense Administrator Val Pe
eterson told Congress Saturday
there is no way to hide from an
H-bomb. 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."

native to North America and
among the swiftest of four-legged
animals, have declined in
the United States until today
