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."

themselves, they must be In
formed," the judge said. "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.

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

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

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. The speed with which Congress passes the bill now
will be tne first test Ol Jonnson s power ana sum as rresinenr.

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.
