posed a greater threat to our
1 security," the President tbld
the annual banquet of the
- Bureau of Advertising of the
American Newspaper - Pub
lishers Association. ;
-'. "If you are awaiting a find
ing of 'clear and present dan
ger" then I can only say that
the danger has never been
more clear and Its presence
has never been more Immi
nent." . Reactions Mixed
'Publishers and editors who
heard the President's speech
had mixed reactions. - Some
wished he had clarified what
; ha meant bv "self restraint."
The dinner closed the
ANPA's annual press week.
' Kennedy emphasized he was
not trying to restrain criticism
of hit programs. "We intend
to accept lull responsiDimy
for. our errors; and we ex
pect you to point them out
when we miss them," he said.
He also said he had no in-
;tentlon of setting up a new
office of War Information, or
establishing new forms of cen
sorship , or security classifica
tion. '

bers of the newspaper profes
sion and industry In this coun
try to re-examine their re
sponsibilities , . . and to heed
the . duty of self . restraint
which that danger imposes
upon, lis all," he said. -Glvea

States naa been at war. - nui

Senator Pearson
Claimed Offered
Overseas Position
Salem-airD-Sem Walter J.
Pearson (D Portland) con
firmed today that Rep.
Edith Green (D-Ore.) has
Inquired if he is Interested
In a federal post,
, Pearson said he would
not accept . any lob that
took him away from Ore
gon. However the Coos Bay
World said in a front page
story today that Pearson
has been offered a federal
overseas Job, thought to be
in Panama.
Quoting informed sources
in Salem, the paper said it
understands Pearson has
stipulated that he not have
to resign his state senate
seat. He was reelected to a
four-year term last year.
On the overseas job Pear
son said "it's the first time
I've heard of it."
The World added the ap
pointment was secured
through Rep. Green.
Amendments To
Measure Offered
Salem (UPD Rep. Cornel
ius Bateson (D-Salem) late
Thursday offered amend
ments to the anti-farm picket
ing bill setting up a labor
elections procedure between
farmers and farm laborers, In
cluding migrants.
The action came as the spe
cial House : committee on
SBS02 held Its first meeting.
The amendments provide
that an election to determine
a bargaining agent could be
called by the farmer, or if
requested by 30 per cent of
his "regular employees." ; ,
A regular employee would
be one that had been working
seven days or more.
The key is that when an
election' request had been
made by either party, a strike
would be illegal, .i
upon request, an election
would have to be held within
three to six days., Anyone 11
years of age or more would
be eligible to vote.
BBS02 as passed . by the
Senate would prohibit farm
workers from picketing dur
ing the peak of harvests.
Farmers support- this, saying
a strike at such a crucial time
would wipe them out.

The two men confronted
each other under oath before
the House Labor Committee,!
which earlier tabled the three
way bill. Statements from the
two men continued to conflict.
Jones insisted the safety in
spector had told him it is
known it was -worth 5 2,500
for a man to vote for this
bill." Jones' assistant backed
him up.
Jones said the statement
came after the safety inspec
tor mentioned a $90,000 fund
to support three-way. The
fund was made public earlier.
In spite of the conflict, the

Canada Dry Ad Has
Scent of Grape
An advertisement for Can
ada Dry, which appears on
page 12-A of today's Mail
Tribune, carries this caption:
"We got so carried away-we
scented, this page with just a
hint of Canada Dry Grape."
The statement is true. A
special grape scent, supplied
by Frank Orlandi, Inc., of
New York, has been mixed
with the purple ink to assure
the pleasing "hint of grape"
when today's edition Is un
folded. .
"We consider Canada Dry
Grape has an aroma that's Ir
resistible," John Snider of
Pepsi-Cola Bottling company,
said today. "We thought a
scented ad would best drama
tize a Canada Dry flavor that
is fast growing in popularity
in southern Oregon'
The Mail Tribune press
crew will undoubtedly have
less explaining to do at home
than the last time this news
paper used scented ink, high
ly perfumed to advertise toilet
soap.
after York admitted talking
about three-way with Jones.
I now assume there was
some discussion of the three-
way bill," Rep. Mel Gordon
said, "but I assume it was
York's personal opinion. This
will satisfy me."
