Pinned by Conscience West Paraphrases Brochure To Disclose Hotel's Accomplishment By DICK WEST Washington - OXPD - There has been a major controversy recently over whether the aci ni i ni stratcon has engaged in the control, man agement and suppres sion of news. This sort of thing is not limited to the e x e c u tive branch of the gov ernment. IS Weit During the recent congres sional session, reporters fre quently complained about the unproductiveness of Speaker John W. McCormack's news conferences. . At one session, McCormack reached perhaps a new high in non-communication. Asked Extra Work Made Easy! RENT Adding Machine Typewriter Calculator VOIGHT'S 8th ( Gnpi 772-4100 about one of the legislative issues then before the House, he ducked the question in two directions. "Off the record," he said, "No comment." Even rtporttr who works the backwaters of Journalism, as 1 do, can ex perience these frustrations. Take, for example, a docu ment that I received in the mail recently. It is a brochure, handsome ly printed on expensive vel lum, which extolls the mer its of a new hotel that is opening here next month. Ordinarily, the merits of a hotel are not something that the management tries to keep quite. This brochure, howev er, takes the form of a "per sonal and confidential" mes sage to the hotel staff. It might be argued that the hotel compromised its right to privacy by mailing copies of the brochure to a thousand or so newspapermen. It might even be suspected that the hotel was hoping we would make the contents public. I, however, have never been one to violate a con fidence. If a hotel circulates literature that is marked "confidential," my impulse is to keep it that way. But after wrestling with my conscience, which final ly pinned me with a double hammerlock, I decided I could ethically paraphrase the brochure if I refrained from mentioning the name of the hotel. I think that even the ho tel's publicity office will have to concede that this is fair approach. Therefore, having settled that question to my own sat isfaction, I feel at liberty to report that all of the bath rooms in the new hotel will be equipped with heated tow el racks. This means, in case you haven't already grasped the significance, that its guests will be spared the ordeal of drying themselves with tepid towels. If it had been a lesser story, I might have kept the lid on. But when civilization is taking a giant step forward, I think the public has a right to know.

GIFT CERTIFICATE SECTION B Medford PAGES 1 to 10 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1962 Strauss Determined To Continue In Bonn Government Bonn - (UPD - Franz Josef Strauss may be down but he's certainly not out. The burly Bavarian has re signed as defense minister and has renounced a post in a new government. But he Is stay ing on in Bonn. Strauss is still young as far as Bonn politicos go. He is only 47, whle the average age of the present caretaker cab inet is more than 55. Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer will be 87 next Jan. 5. Holds Top Job Strauss may have given up his job as defense chief, which he held for six controversial years, but he still holds down one of West Germany's top political jobs. He is leader of the Christ ian Social Union, the Bavar ian wing of Adenauer's Christ ian Democratic party. As such, Strauss intends to stay in Bonn where he will still have a large say in na tional politics. He may take over Parliamentary leader ship of the CSU as well if an other job perhaps in the new cabinet can be found for the present CSU floorleader, Werner Dollinger. Strauss has not lost his am bition despite his current set back. His close friends say he certainly still has his eyes on the top government job, the chancellorship. A man who is always happy in the midst of a political fight, Strauss intends to be around when Adenauer steps down in favor of a younger man. AHpnaiipr' retirement un- HnnhtpHlv will result in a bit ter struggle for top jobs, and Strauss will be in me tnicx of it. Little Chance Seen Political observers say Strauss has little chance of getting Adenauer's job right away. Foreign minister Ger hard Schroeder is presently leading the field. Strauss is thinking about the next general elections in 1965 and what will happen then, his friends say. The same evening after re nouncing a job in the next government, Strauss said in a radio interview he has no in tention of retiring to Bavarian politics, although he will take a hand in them as well. He said his primary inten tion is to stay In Bonn and use all the influence he can muster for continuation of his defense conceptions and to support government policy.
