EXITS A BISTRO HOLD ING THE DOOR OPEN FOR A LADy STRANGER- Newsmen, Broadcasters, Lawyers Note News Handling Principles Decision Due Soon In Clemson Case Farm Bureau May Launch Drive To Reject Controls By BERNARD BRENNER United Presi International Washington -UPU- The 1962 convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation in Atlanta Dec. 9 may launch a precedent - breaking national campaign to persuade farmers to vote down government wheat controls next summer. The drive would be aimed at a farmer referendum in which wheat producers are scheduled to decide whether to accept a stiffened federal acreage and marketing con trol program for their 1964 crop. The new control plan would be accompanied by a new two price system of federal sup port for wheat prices. If farmers accept the con trol program, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Free man has indicated the Ken nedy administration plans to support most of the wheat they produce in 1964 about S2 per bushel. Supports Would Drop If controls are rejected, sup ports would drop to about SI. 17 per bushel - and even then would be available only to farmers who restricted their output. The new wheat program was written into law by the last Congress as part of the 1962 Omnibus Farm bill. Ag riculture department officials believe farmers will accept it if it's fully explained to them, a department spokesman told United Press International. "But it is by no means cer tain that wheal producers will take the bait that will be offered in an effort to get a favorable vote," countered Farm Bureau President Charles B. Shuma. Order Full Weight Other sources said there is a good chance the Farm Bureau convention will order the organization's full weight thrown into a campaign against the control plan. This would be something new on the farm scene, There have been times In the past when some state units of the Farm Bureau - the na tion's biggest farm group -campaigned actively against adoption of controls in farmer referendums. But neither the Farm Bureau nor any other major farm group has ever waged an open, full-scale cam paign against a referendum proposal. Stakes Will Be High The stakes in the wheat referendum next summer will be high. Defeat for the con trol proposal could mark a sharp turn away from the philosophy of govern m e n t "supply management" for ma jor farm crops. The Farm Bureau is among the leading advocates of reducing or elim inating production controls and moving toward more re liance on free market pricing for farm products. Under basic farm law, refer endums have been used on farm control programs since 1938. In these, farmers must endorse the controls by a two thirds margin before the quotas can be made effective. When quotas are in effect farmers who comply with fed eral acreage controls are pro tected by price supports, Farmers who violate the con trols face government fines. In 65 referendums held on major crops since late 1938, farmers have failed to endorse control proposals only three times. 46 States Represented At Corvallis This Year Corvallis All of Oregon's 36 counties, 46 stales, and 63 foreign countries are repre sented in the Oregon State university student body this year.

Portland - Oregon newspa permen, broadcasters and lawyers have won national recognition for their efforts to devise a joint statement of principles covering the hand ling of news of criminal prosecutions. The problem of balancing the public's right to be in formed and the accused per son's right to be judged in an atmosphere free from undue prejudice is a n Uon-wide concern. Oregon appears to be the first of the 50 states to try this type of solution, ac cording to the American Bar araocialion, which recently publicized the program to 7, 500 bar association leaders throughout the country. Participating in the draft ing of the joint statement of principles were representa tives of the Oregon Newspa per Publishers association, the Oregon Association of Broadcasters and the Oregon State Bar. The statement, which has been formally adopted by the membership of all three groups, reads as follows: Basic, Unqualified Rights "Oregon's Bill of Rights provides both for fair trials and for, freedom of the press. These rights are basic and un qualified. They are not ends in themselves but are neces sary guarantors of freedom for the individual and the , public's rights to be informed. 1 The necessity of preserving both the right to a fair trial and the freedom to dissemin ate the news is of concern to responsible members of the legal and journalistic profes sions and is of equal concern to the public. At times' these two rights appear to be in conflict with each other. "In an effort to mitigate , this conflict, the Oregon State Bar. the Oregon Newspaper Publishers association and the Oregon Association of Broad casters have adopted the fol lowing statement of princi ples to keep the public fully informed without violating the rights of any individual; "I. The news- media have the right and the responsibil ity lo print and to broadcast the truth. Accuracy, Objectivity . "II. However, the demands of accuracy and objectivity in news reporting should be t balanced with the demands j of fair play. The public has a right to be informed. The accused has the right to be : judged in an i.mosphere free! from undue prejudice. "III. Good taste should pre vail in the selection, printing and broadcasting of the news. Morbid or sensitional details of criminal behavior should not be exploited. "IV. The right of decision about the news rests with the editor or news director. In the exercise of judgment he should consider that: "(a) an accused person is presumed innocent until prov en guilty; "(b) readers and listeners are potential juror?; "(c) no person's repulation should be injured needlessly. Justice Administered "V. The public- is entitled to know how justice is being administered. However, it is unprofessional for any law yer to exploit any medium of public information lo en-1 nance his side of a pending ! case. II follows that the pub lie prosecutor should avoid taking unfair advantage of his position as an important source of news; this shall not be construed lo limit his ob ligation to make available in-i formation to which the public is entitled. ' "In recognition of these principles, the undersigned hereby testify to their contin uing desire to achieve the best possible accommodation of the rights of the individual and the rights of the public when these two fundamental precepts appear to be in con flict in the administration of justice." Permanent Joint Committee A permanent joint commit tee has been named lo handle problems that might arise un der this statement of princi ples and other matters of mu tual interest. Alex de Schwcinitz, Salem; Virgil Parker and Wendy Hay, Eugene; Richard Ross and John Salisbury, Portland, have been named to this com mittee by the broadcasters. Alton F. Baker, Jr., Eugene; Mrs. Mary Brown, Redmond; Robert C. Ingalls, Corvallis; Robert C. Notson and Arden X. Pangborn, Portland, will represent the newspaper pub lishers. Supreme Court Jus tice A. T. Goodwin, Salem; Harvey S. Benson, Alexander G. Brown, Stanley R. Church and Shirley A. Field, Port land, are Oregon State Bar representatives. Anderson, S. C. -IUP- A fed eral udge indicated Wednes day he expects lo decide by the first of the year whether to order the admission of a Negro lo all-while Clemson college. Oral arguments on a suit .by Harvey Gantt,. charging the state - supported institution with discrimination, were completed Wednesday and Judge C. C. Wyche asked for additional briefs in the case. He said he planned lo make a ruling around Jan. 1. The U. S. 4th Circuit Court or Appeals has ordered a de cision In time for Gantt to enroll for the spring semester, if the ruling is in his favor. GanH, 19, Charleston, applied earlier this year for transfer to Clemson from- Iowa Statu university. His application was rejected. South Carolina' Is the only southern state which never has admitted a Negro to an all-white public school. Ala bama's school 'system also is segregated but a Negro girl, Aulherine Lucy, several years ago attended the University of Alabama for three days be fore being expelled. . ' ,.
