Newspapers and You
We don't get very excited about special "weeks"
or "days" or "months" any more. Never did, really.
There are too many of them; as publicity-getting de
vices they are overworked; most of them don't mean
anything anyway.
Which is a poor way to start writing about "Na
tional Newspaper Week," we suppose. But the fact
is that this is Newspaper Week, and our lack of en
thusiasm for "weeks" in general does not extend to
the subject-matter which is now being called to public
attention.
THOSE of us engaged in what we call "this screwy
newspaper business" are all a bit "teched in the
haid" about the subject anyway. We feel that the at
tractions of newspaper work far outweigh the disad
vantages. We believe we render a real service to the public
in a way which no other type of organization can. If
we didn't believe that wholeheartedly, we'd probably
be doing something else.
Perhaps the most important single function of a
newspaper is to bring to the citizens of the community
the information which they need as a basis for deci
sions about self-government. From the city hall on up
through the federal government, the single best source
of that necessary information is the daily newspaper.
DUT on top of that, the newspaper, ideally, furnish-
es a great many other things entertainment,
information about our friends and neighbors and
their doings, information about what business and in
dustry are doing and all at a price which makes it
one of the biggest bargains in history. It brings com
ment and opinion, and through its "letters" column
offers a public forum for discussion of matters of in
terest to everyone.
In its advertising columns, the newspaper serves
as a daily "marketplace" delivered to the home for
leisurelv reading and study. It brings the sales mes
sage of its advertisers in enduring black and white,
for. reading, re-reading and comparison.
TTHE theme of newspaper
finrhte fnr vnnr rio-hr. rn
This ficht. is wao-ed wherever there is a newsDaner.
although the most-publicized segment of the battle
is waged on the national front. But even in Medford,
sometimes it is necessary to get into, a scrap to obtain
information wnicn we Deneve our readers are enutiea
to have. : ; .
Some public officials feel that reporters are just
plain nosey busybodies, trying to pry into something
that is none of their business. The fact is that report
ers are the eyes and the ears of the public, for in no
other way, consistently, can the people of a commun
ity find out what is going on in courthouse, city hall
and capitol. .
One thing newspapers continually watch is a ten
dency a perfectly human one for public officials
to get the feeling that what they do is sort of a private
affair. Certainly it is true that it is easier to conduct
a business without someone looking over your shoul
der. BUT the point is that in America the voter and tax
payer is the ultimate authority in government
not an elected or appointed official. And the voter
and taxpjeyer is entitled to
being conducted.
Sometimes the newspapers fail. Sometimes they
don't pry and poke and question hard and long
enough. Sometimes they take it upon themselves to
decide what the public should or should not know.
If they fail in these ways, they are failing in their
responsibilities to their readers and to their advertis
ers. . ' ,
THE U. S. Constitution, in its First Amendment, pro-
hibits Congress from passing any law abridging
freedom of speech and oi the press.
The founding fathers did not guarantee freedom
of the press for the benefit of newspaper people. Far
from it. They guaranteed freedom of the press so that
the people of this nation could be informed of the
actions of government without the government dic
tating how it should be told.
Freedom of the press is a freedom of the people,
and every time it is circumscribed, the people are the
principal losers. Those of us in this "screwy busi
ness" feel a responsibility for guarding that freedom.

Heart
The fact that poliomyelitis is on its way out as one
of mankind's most dreaded diseases is largely attrib
utable to the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt was one
of its m'ost notable victims.
Perhaps the illness of President Eisenhower will
have much the same effect on the efforts in re
search and fund raising to conquer heart disease.
LJEART ailments in recent years have come to be
one of the principal killers in America partly
as a result of the pace at which life today is lived, and
partly because other killing diseases have been elim
inated or modified as major threats.
Doctors report a great surge in men over 40 com
ing in for heart checks since the President's attack,
and the medical explanations of the many types of
heart disease also have focused attention on the prob
lem. E.A.

the system
which Peron
had built up to
keep himself in
power. Lonar
di started tak-
Cnaries McCann lng ; Over the
unions, combined in the Gen
eral Confederation of Labor,
which had given Peron most of
his voting strength. He dismissed
the Argentine Supreme Court
which had given rubber-stamp
to Peron's decrees. In Asuncion,
the Paraguayan capital, Peron
said in an exclusive interview
with the United Press that he
still regarded himself as "consti
tutional president."
2. Relations between the Unit
ed States and' President Tito of
Yugoslavia were cleared up, and
strengthened measurably, as the
result of a visit to Belgrade by
Robert D. Murphy, assistant un
dersecretary of state. A long
standing dispute over the extent
to which the United States was
entitled to supervise the use of
military aid was settled. Agree
ment was reached to start nego
tiations for $40,500,000 in eco
nomic aid to Yugoslavia.

German unification. These issues
are to be discussed at the "Big
Four" meeting of the United
States, Great Britain, France
and Soviet Russia in Geneva
Oct. 27.
THE BAD
1. The revolt in North Africa
plunged France into a cabinet
crisis. Premier Faure fired four
of his cabinet members, includ
ing influential Defense Minister
Pierre Koenig, who refused to
support his plan to give home
rule to Morocco. He decided to
risk his job by forcing a vote of
confidence in Parliament on his
policies. In Morocco, French
armored columns supported by
jet fighter planes still met fierce
resistance from the tribesmen
who suddenly revolted last
week-end.
2. The North African situa
tion also brought a crisis in the
United Nations. In a move spon
sored by "anti-colonial" dele
gates, the annual General Assem
bly voted to debate the situa
tion on French Algeria. In doing
so it overrode its Steering Com
mittee. Angered, French For
eign Minister Antoine Pinay led
his delegation in a walkout. The
French cabinet ordered the en
tire delegation back to Paris.
France holds that the North
African situation is none of the
U.N.'s business
3. The United States failed in
an attempt to induce Premier
Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt
not to go through with his plans
to buy arms from Communist
Czechoslovakia. George V. Al
len, assistant secretary of state,
was sent to Cairo'to talk to Nas
ser but got nowhere. Nasser as
serts that he must get weapons
because he fears aggression by
Israel, and will buy them from
the Communists if he can not
get them from the United States
and its allies.
Explosion
rnent purchasing. I do not criti
cize the purchasing even on in
stallments of automobiles, elec
tric refrigerators, washing ma
chines, modern kitchens, and
other things which improve the
efficiency' of the home; but buy
ing TV sets, with hardly a down
payment, may be questionable.
4. Military expenditures a
great factor. To the extend these
are paid for by taxes, they are
not too serious; but they cannot
be depended upon. Furthermore,
although necessary, the expendi
ture is uneconomic.
5. Poor yields of stocks after
payment of taxes. Except in the
case of Pension Funds, Institu
tional Investments, and other
non-taxable purchases, low yield
may be he greatest factor. After
most investors deduct the income
tax from their dividends, the
yield is altogether' too small to
run the risk of buying stocks.
Effect Upon Business
What the market will do from
now on: I forecast that most ma
jor dips will go lower than the
preceding dip. Yet, each dip in
due time will be followed by an
upward reaction. This latter
will probably not reach as high
as the preceding upward move
ments. What will really happen
to the stock market will depend
upon general business, which in
turn determines employment..
Employment determines retail
sales, which supply the factories
with orders, thus completing the
economic cycle.
President Eisenhower's health
will be a great factor in deter
mining the immediate future of
business. Many large undertak
ings have been held in abeyance
pending a decision from Presi
dent Eisenhower as to whether
he will run again.. This work
will doubtless now be held up
until it is known who the Presi
dential candidate will be. Per
haps this means that the con
tracts will not be signed until
after the election, if they are
signed for some years to come. '
What Ike Would Like to Do '
Intimate friends of President
Eisenhower and his wife have
known that he does not like the
details, the public speaking and
entertaining demanded by the
Presidency. He enjoyed being
General of the Army where his
work was largely confined to
thinking and planning. Others
carried out the details. No one
opposed him or ignored his or
ders. We now know he will not
run again. But I believe that he
would have liked to be Secretary
of Defense or Secretary of State
or Chairman of the Security
Board. His holding such a posi
tion would add greatly to the Ad
ministration and give the coun
try faith.
When manufacturers and mer
chants telephone me asking what
they can now do to prevent a
business depression, - I reply:
"Spend more money on advertis
ing." As stated above, future
business and prosperity depend
upon retail' at the grass-roots
level.' To simulate these sales,
two things are "required: More
advertising and better employee
relations. I. hope that every busi
nessman and wageworker wiU
do his part along these lines dur
ing these critical weeks.
In the Day's News
Br FRANK JENKINS
Let's take a look today at
"beef bacon" which got into
the news the other day in a big
way when it was announced that
it was a principal item on Ike's
breakfast menu.
What is it?
How did it get its start?
Frs an interesting story.
"Beef hacon" rnmpi from the
rib plate cuts of choice fed beef,
which formerly was used chiefly
in boiled beef dinners. These
cuts are tenderized and chemi
cally cured and smoked. It is
sliced and pack like pork bacon.
It is leaner than most pork cuts
and has good keeping qualities.
It got its start when some
smart marketing expert began
to think about ways to market
more beef . It occurred to him in
the course of his lucubrations
that there are millions of people
who can not eat pork. At the
same time, it crossed his mind
that a lot of people have a yen
for meat at breakfast but shy
away from beef in the morning
because it is generally regarded
as a luncheon or dinner meat.
So the idea of treating beef in
such a manner as to make it look
like bacon (which is a standard
breakfast meat) and maybe taste
like bacon to him. '
TIE presented his idea to the
M- assistant executive ... secre
tary of the American National
Cattlemen's association (a smart
salesman named Radford Hall)
and the upshot of it was that the
cattlemen's association took the
idea up with a packing company
in Nebraska, which started ex
perimenting jwith it
It was first served at the 1954
Cattlemen's, association conven
tion in Colorado Springs. It
struck the fancy of the cattle
men, and the sale of it was push
ed actively. It is now on the
market on a national scale.
TT is marketed under the name
of breakfast beef. The name
"beef bacon" was applied to it
more or less by accident in the
bulletin from the summer White
House in Denver. NaturaUy
enough, the cattlemen are not
displeased with the wide pub
licity for their new produce that
resulted. ,
Their assistant secretary com
ments: "There is already quite
a demand for breakfast beef, and
the TJublicitv arising from the
bulletin about the President's
breakfast naturaUy helDs."
Hall believes that some mem
bers of the Cattlemen's associa
tion introduced breakfast beef
to the President. He adds: "He
likes the product and continues
to eat it."
QO there's the story of beef ba-
con. It wasn't just a publicity
stunt. It was , a carefuUy-thought-out
plan to increase the
consumption of beef. It wasn't
introduced as a substitute for
pork. It was marketed under its
own name as breakfast beef.
It was a good product and it
caught on. The incident of the
President's breakfast was just a
lucky break.
T THINK perhaps this point
should be emphasized at this
time:
The cattlemen didn't demand
that the government buy up and
store away the cuts of beef that
weren't going too well on the
market. Instead, they thought
up new ways to make them at
tractive and GET THEM CON
SUMED. . ; -
As a result, they are far bet
ter off than they would have
been if these rib plate cuts that
weren't going very weU as
boiled beef dinners ' had been
bought up by the government
at a guaranteed price and stash
ed away in government owned
or government leased cold stor
age warehouses. ' - -
The primary business of food
is to be CONSUMED. When it
isn't consumed, but instead is
bought up at a guaranteed high
price and stored away, the re
sulting accumulation of it hangs
like a dark thundercloud over
the markets of the future.

I have a fox'i cunning; a

a porcupine's indolence; a coy
ote's intelligence; the forefoot
skiU of a monkey.
Although related to the great
six-foot giant panda, my abode
is in North America and you'll
find me in every state of the
union. I am equally at home on
land and in water and footsure
in trees. I often prowl right into
the suburbs of our largest cities.
Normally my fur is thick, soft
brown and the tail ringed with
white or gray. I walk on the
soles of my five-toed feet, leav
ing a footprint curiously like
that of a small child. My ears
are large, my features sensitive.
When victuals are plentiful, I
eat heartily and become, pleas
ingly plump weighing up to 30
pounds and more, though my
usual weight is closer to 15.
I eat cherries, grapes, plums,
berries, acorns, pecans, crickets
honey, fish, frogs, earthworms,
crawfish, mussels, fish, turtle
eggs, birds. I raid cornpatches
for corn when it is "in-the-milk"
and melons. Many of us who
live on marshlands, streams or
lakes dip our food in the water.
Some say it is because we are
fastidious eaters, others because
we lack saliva.
After a nine-weeks' gestation,
three to six young are born in

an Astoria business man where
his slogan "Malarkey That

a long time as familiar to local
citizens as the Columbia river

PURPOSE OF THE FUND
Until the national commander
of the American Legion, Seaborn
P. Collins, attacked the. goals of
the Fund for the Republic and
questioned its patriotism, ' the
organization and the work it is
doing had been commended by
responsible citizens the country
over. It is regretable that Mr.
Collins spoke before he was fully
informed. In the hope that he
may not further damage the
work, of the Fund, its chairman,
Paul G. Hoffman, has written a
letter which includes this para
graph of explanation:
Since ' its inception, the
Board has regarded the sphere
. of the Fund as including the
entire field of freedom and:
- civil rights and has taken as itsj
basic charter the Declaration!
of Independence and the Con
stitution. From the beginning,
the Board has held that the
major factor affecting civil lib
erties today is the menace of
communism and communist
influence in this country.?
Coupled with this threat is the
grave danger to civil liberties
in methods that may be used to
meet the threat. The Fund has e
financed research on a large
scale into - the extent and
nature of the internal commu
nist menace and its effect on
our community and institu-.
tions. We hope to mSke a con
tribution to the better under
standing of effective proce
dures for dealing with the
communist menace while at
the same time strengthening
the American traditions of lib
erty and freedom.
