Exaggerated 'Secrecy' Seen Threat To Lives Phoenix 1 Exaggerated government secrecy threatens the "very lives" as well as the liberty of the persons in whose name it is invoked, in the opinion of a Washington, D. C., newspaper executive. J. R. Wiggins, executive editor of the Washington Post and Times Herald, told mem ber of the Arizona Newspaper Association that part of the never-ending struggle for liberty is fighting unnecessary secrecy. The nation finds itself in "deadly military peril, in grave diplomatic difficulty and in ghastly danger of los ing its place among the front rank of the nations" because the government has denied Information which' would have helped form public opinion," Wiggins said. Still Seeking Right Wiggins, who received the 1957 John Peter Zenger award from the University of Ariz o n a's Department of Journalism, said newspapers still are confronted with the necessity of fighting for the right to criticize government 223 years after Zenger's time. Now, however, the threat is not fear of criticizing gov ernment but of withholding information, according to the newspaper executive. "Criticism of the acts of- government is being obstruct ed by the simple device of so concealing knowledge of what the acts of government are that there can be no intelli gent criticism of policy," he said.

Use Tribune Want Ads Problem of Lyndon Johnson's Bald Spot One for Senate Photographers By FRANK ELEAZER United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) The lighter side of Congress: With most of our law makers each day .more deep ly involved in problems of space, photographers around the Senate are wrestling with a matter that is merely, but increasingly, global. It has to do with a senator's head. "Don't shoot the bald spot," Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas has been warning them lately. John son laughs, but this is not to be mistaken to mean he is kidding. Officially, Johnson is not running for president. But he 11 have a hard time makmg the picture men believe it. On occasion. Johnson has stopped a press conference until he got all the photogs around up in front of him. So far they haven't had too much trouble cooperating. Buf they wonder how long they can remain in his good graces and still take their pictures. Bald spots have a way of spreading. Speaking of hair, the Sen ate currently can't boast a single good example of what used to be thought of as the classic senatorial haircut either the long, flowing mane, with ducktails in the back, or the mostly bald dome, with wispy s t r a n ds hopesf ully swept across the top, fooling nobody except possibly the man who combed it that way. The "new look" in sena torial appearance seems to be running these days more to ward the handsome, suave, successful-businessman-t y p e. Iron gray hair, neatly clip ped; chiseled features; and just enough lines in the face. Sens. Stuart Symington (D Mo.), and Prescott Bush (R Conn.), for instance. The best current examples of the old senatorial haircut as a matter of fact are being displayed by two House mem bers Reps. L. Mendel Rivers (D-S.C), and Leslie C Arends (R-IU),. neither of whom has said anything yet about parlaying the overdue hair cut into a seat in the Senate. Vice President Richard M. Nixon, who has been presid ing over the Senate since 1953, not only has not suc cumbed to the uninhibited Senate-type haircut but late ly has been wearing his notice ably shorter. "It's not Madison Avenue," he claims. -"It's Martin of the Senate barber shop." Barber Martin, Nixon re ports, has been cutting his hair for years. Lately, Mar tin decided it would look bet ter shorter. It used to be that a man's wife made important decisions like that. hair, with a nice touch of gray at the temples. It is beautiful, and he aims to keep it that way. Smathers takes all kinds of precautions against getting bald. He even owned up re cently to standing on his head now and then, to encourage good circulation in the scalp. In 20 or 30 years we will let you know how that works. Grange News Speaker Sam Rayburn, a man who as everybody knows had his last problems with hair years ago, was posing for pictures this week with Rep. Howard W. Robinson (R-N.Y.), who had just taken his seat in the House. Rayburn introduced the ubiquitous picture men to the new member as follows: "They're nice fellows, but sort of like warts. They are all over you." Sen. George Smathers (D Fla.), tall, lean, and 44, has a full head of black wavy ARGONNE HONORED Lemont, 111.

Since the federal govern ment reportedly contemplates expansion of hospital facilities for veterans in the northwest area, it was pointed out that use of buildings and equip ment already existing at Camp White would result in material savings to tax pay ers and at the' same time would offer additional per manent employment in Rogue River valley. Widespread illness among Grange members and others in the community was report ed by Chaplain Mildred Red head, chairman of the Relief committee. Sister Florence Lance, musician, was wel comed back after a protract ed illness, and executive com mittee member Harry Davis and Treasurer Cyrena Davis were also present after being confined to their home with severe attacks of flu.
