OREGON MONDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1963 Libel Suit Against Seattle Newspapers Dismissed By Judge OLYMPIA (UPI) - A news. paper may not be sued for libel if it reports accurately the statements of major public of ficials, Thurston County Supe rior Court Judge Charles T. Wright has ruled. Wright dismissed The Seattle Times and The Seattle Post-Intelligencer as defendant in libel suit filed by five National Guard technicians against the stale and the two newspapers. The trial of the action against the state is scheduled to begin in Wright's court Dec. 9. The technicians claimed they were libeled by statements made at a news conference May 31, 1962, by Maj. Gen. George Haskett, state adjutant general. "There is no question that the statements in question were made by General George Has kett, adjutant general of the Washington National Guard nor that the newspapers correctly reported the statements," Wright said in a memorandum opinion. It was the first case ever de cided in Washington that was directly concerned with the ac curate reporting of the state ments of public officials, Wright said. However, he said that in a majority of other jurisdictions newspapers have the right to publish such statements "even though the official himself may be in error." "It Is not only the majority rule," Wright said, "it is also the better rule." AS0N0TON rts Jni,,..,. .... II MEWW tbnJmmtl Special Christmas gift plan foe latest hearing aids.

"To be informed accurately and promptly and probably often to be informed at all, they must rely upon the established news media of which newspapers are the oldest and most complete." He concluded, "If the media are to carry out their function of service to the public, then they must be free to do so with out assuming the peril for the accuracy of the statements of major governmental officials." The five technicians were dis missed from their jobs at Nike missile sites in 1961. Arthur Hare, president of the Seattle local of the Building Services Union, charged that the men, all nembers of his union, were fired for union activities. Gov. Albert D. Rosellinl was blacklisted by the King County Labor Council for a few months as a result of Hare's charges. The council contended the gov ernor should have interceded on behalf of the technicians. Haskett called the news con ference to tell his side of the story. Sikkim Maharaja Dies in Calcutta CALCUTTA, India (UPI) -The Maharaja of Sikkim, ruler of the small Himalayan border state, died today. His son be came the new king and his dauRhter-in-Iaw, former New York debutante Hope Cooke, Sikkim's first foreign born queen. The Maharaja, who was 71, died in a nursing home here. The former Miss Cooke, 23, and her husband, Palden Thondup Namgyal, were at his bedside. The Maharaja was treated last week by Dr. William T. Foley, a well-known diagnosti cian and chief of the cardiovas cular clinic at the New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center. The monarch, known as His Highness the Denjong Chogyal Sir Tashi Namgyal, had been in failing health for some time. A trip to Europe last month failed to produce satisfactory medical relief and led to a call for the New York doctor's services. NEW ZEALAND VOTES WELLINGTON, New Zealand (UPI) About 1.5 million New Zealand voters turned out Saturday to give Prime Min ister Keith Holyoake and his ruling National party a solid vote of confidence in elections for the one-House parliament. i , ' f : Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Ceeyrient, Hill Sr'e'lcite, Inc. IMPORTANCE OF WHAT DID NOT HAPPEN It is a tribute to the basic strength of the United States and fo the defense network we have created for the U.S. dollar in the past two years that so little has happened in our economy since President Kennedy s assassination. This is scarcely a facetious comment. Often what does not happen in the sphere of finance is more important that what does happen and last week was a dramatic illustration of this point. The powerful governors of the Federal Reserve System did not find it necessary to call a special meeting to ease credit to bolster a faltering economy because the economy didn't falter. The Treasury's debt managers did not find it necessary to alter their financing plans to reassure a panicky U.S. govern ment securities market because investors in government securi ties did not panic. The central bankers of the free world did not find it necessary to take extraordinary steps to protect the U.S. dollar from a speculative raid because the very existence of the dollar's defense network killed off speculation and the dollar held firm. Wall Street's leaders did not find It necessary to act to prevent a disorderly slump in stock prices because when the markets reopened iast Tuesday, what disorder existed was more on the up than downside. The nation's top businessmen did not find It necessary to downgrade their programs for spending on new plants and equipment in anticipation of a slowdown in the economy because there are no signs that Kennedy's death will be a direct cause of an economic slowdown. Washington budget officials did not find it necessary to revise their figures on the next budget to fit President Johnson's views because Johnson's views on the budget are generally what Ken nedy's were. So it goes. But just as President Johnson has inherited a sturdy economy and a protected dollar from Kennedy, so he has in herited the economic problems that frustrated Kennedy from the start to the end of his aborted term. Our unemployment rale is way down from the recession level of 7 per cent. But after 33 months of sustained economic advance, the overall rate still slicks at 5',i per cent and the jobless rate among teenagers is a shuddering 15.4 per cent. Industrial production is at an all-time high and our output of goods and services (gross national product) is climbing toward the historic milestone of $600 billion. But due to our sluggish growth rate in recent years, our output is at least $30 billion below our normal capacity to produce and many factories are operating below their preferred, profitable rate. The gap between what we spend abroad and what we earn abroad the deficit in our balance of payments is way down from the near-catastrophic rate of $5.1 billion recorded in the second quarter. But the deficit in our international accounts for the full year of 1963 will approach S3.5 billion, another deficit is in sight for 1964 and this red ink is a con stant threat to our dollar's value. Prices in our country have been remarkably stable in the last few years. But upward pressures are mounting and the danger of a renewed price-wage spiral can never be shrugged off. Thus, Johnson takes over the problems as well as the achievements. Our economic growth must be accelerated to provide jobs for our mounting labor force, to take up the slack in production, to create sufficient profits and paychecks to balance our STAR GAZERS, By CLAY K.

Mayo Cllntc RegUter and Tribune Syndicate Eight Rules To Help a Child Stay Mentally Healthy Some time ago the National Association for Mental Health published suggestions for giving children good mental health. First, Hie child must be given love. He must be made to feel that his parents love him, they want him, they enjoy having him with them, and they are deeply concerned with every thing that happens to him. (2) The child needs acceptance in otner words he wants his parents to love him the way he is, even it at times he is bad tempered, difficult and not lov able. (3) The child needs a feel ing of security that his parents will always be there to back him up and take care of him, espec ially in time of crisis when he needs them most. He may very much want to feel that he be longs to the family group. Par ents can help him to feel this by giving him various tasks to do around the house. (4) The child wants nrotcc- tion he wants to feel that his parents will keen him safe from domestic f Lm: JMUJ ?,?Jh?r! t0 he!P The mother ought to do the punishing right away. Also, l think it so sillv to say to an erring child, "For two weeks you can't have dessert," or "You can't go lo the movies," or "You can't have your friends in." Such punish ment is usually so much trouble that the mother soon eives un on it and the child loses all re spect for her. i cannot remember nunish- ing my children after thev were old enough to be reasoned with, ana to agree witn me that what they had done was not wise or kmu or advisable. They were good children, and so they al ways agreed that what had been done had better not be repeated. budget. Our spending abroad must be curbed and our earnings abroad must be increased to narrow the deficit in our balance of payments. The tax reduction bill Kennedy wanted so much Is a key to these goals.

CITY ZONE STATE PHONE T-727 ESTIMATE No Money Down him when he must face some strange, unknown and frighten' ing situation, such as an illness, or an accident. (5) The child needs some feeling of independ' e-:e he needs to feel that his parents grant him some inde pendence and a chance to make some of his own decisions. He wants to feel that his parents have confidence in his ability to do s' things for himself. As soon as he is old enough, he should have his own little al lowance so that he can buy a few things on his own. (6) A child needs faith in a set of moral standards to live by. He needs to learn the values of integrity, honesty, kindness, courage and generosity. Fortu nate is the child whose parents are fine honorable people. Then in his home ho will constantly he absorbing the idea of always living honorably and honestly. Eventually it should become second nature to him. (7) A child needs guidance he needs help in learning good manners, and the art of behav ing toward other persons so as to be accepted and liked by them. One of the most dilticult lessons all of us have to learn is how to get along amicably with our fellows, and the parent who does not leach this sort of thing to his children is failing badly. I know that today many accept the modern idea that a child must never be corrected or chided or taught to respect his elders and persons in author ity. But the parent who does not teach good manners is dere lect in one of his most impor tant duties. Every child needs to be taught that Ihcre are limits to what he will be permitted to do, at home and in school and in the homes of friends. A splendid idea to give him is that in his family certain things Just are not done; while other things, like paying one's hills on time, must be done. Also, a guest in the house must always be treated with courtesy, kindness, respect and consideration. (R) At times a child needs punishment, but this should never he brutal or long-lasling. A small child should learn, when he is disobedient, that punishment will come surely and immediately and without any threatening. Often the best thing to do with a small child when he becomes a pest is to say, "Go lo your room and stav there until you can be a pleas ant mcmDcr ot tne lamily. Then you can come back." Punish ment ought to have no anger or vindictiveness in it, and as soon as a brief spanking is over the child should be forgiven and taken back into the hearts of is parents. I hate to see parents Just threatening a child, who knows they won t do anything. I hale I also In hear a mother sav. "Just you wait until your father comes , home! he'll lake a belt to you." WEU Delegates Meet in Paris To Assess Cold War PARIS (UPI)-The Western European Union, a seven-nation organization of the Common Market nations and Britain, to day undertook its first assess ment of the state of the cold war since President Kennedy's death. The four-day talks will range over disarmament, the strength of North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization (NATO) forces, rela tions wilh Russia since the test ban, and prospects for renewed understanding between Britain and the Common Market. The defense discussions will serve as a preliminary for the NATO council meeting hcie in two weeks' time. Britain and the market nations F ranee, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg all belong to both WEU and NATO. As the WEU delegates gath ered for their meeting here, two conferences in Luxembourg and Brussels were taking up Common Market trade prob lems. Ministers of the trading bloc were discussing a proposed in crease in steel tariffs in the Luxembourg meeting. Germany, Italy, and France favor increasing steel tariffs to 9 per cent from their present 5 to 6 per cent. Belgium and The Netherlands oppose the rise. President Johnson made known U.S. disapproval of the move last month while touring Europe as vice president. He said the increase would con taminate the atmosphere at next year's worldwide tariff talks in Geneva. Lone Survivor Tells Of Sea Tragedy CHARLESTON, S.
