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.

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.

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."

Friday evening, Jan. 24.
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

found to be in excellent con
dition. A motion was passed to dis
miss the building committee,
whose functions are now com
pleted, with a vote of appre
