AwooUted PrtM Member Audit Buretu Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEV IN mother Oregon city some time ago there I . ....Hii discussion of the advisability of newspapers withholding the names of juveniles who got into trouDie wim law a policy generally fol lowed by this newspaper for many years. Those who ques tioned the policy argued that the protection against public ity tends to encourage juvenile crime, and, conversely, that the fear of publicity would have a favorable effect not only on juveniles but on their parents. Despite these arguments, we have maintained the old policy here, the only exception being in most serious cases, and in incidents where juveniles were involved in serious automobile accidents. In such cases, it was felt that where juveniles assumed adult responsibilities as drivers of au tomobile they should be subject to the same publicity as is given adults in case of driving offenses. There is another point. Regardless of pen alties under the law, moral reputation is not so seriously at stake in the case of driving offenses as in, for instance, theft, sex offenses, etc. The only purpose of withholding juvenile names at any time is to prevent a youngster getting a reputation that might commit him to a life of crime, whereas there might otherwise be op- . portunity to steer him into another course. This little discussion of news policy seems to be in order because of recent incidents that have brought inquiries to members of our staff. Farewell to Football KLAMATH'S Pelican football team and the Klamath Marines team have completed their seasons each even up. The Marines won two, lost two, and the Pelicans won three, lost three, and tied one. Neither team had any "breathers" so the record is not bad, at all. The two teams have given local grid followers a lot of good football to watch, and at this point a word of appreciation is due to coaches and players.. Spirit in the community, we feel, has been good. There has not been the .enthus iasm that shows up when the home teams are consistently winning in the direction of some sectional honor, nor can that be expected. But strong local support has continued throughout the season of rips and downs. . m ; Got Any Records? THE Klamath Commando unit is disbanded, but is still active in disposing of about $2000 it had collected in connection with the wounded service men's project. The Commandos have bought two large radio and phonograph combination sets for the dispensary wards at the Marine Barracks, and will spend the re mainder of the money in behalf of the re turned veterans of the Pacific fighting at that port. As everyone knows, the record supply on the market is limited, and the Commandos would like to have more records for their dispensary phonographs. Many Klamath people have sup plies of these records in their homes, and those who can and are willing are asked to con tribute at least two to the good Commando cause. The records can be left at 125 North Seventh street facts, because these are already too apparent to the people. . It took courage for anyone operating under the thumb of the government to oppose Mr. Roosevelt. As everyone knows, newsprint dis tribution is controlled by the administration and this is the life's blood of newspapers. Their ability to survive and their profits actually de pend on the amount of print paper the govern ment gives them. Those newspapers who de cided to oppose Mr. Roosevelt obviously could not have been Inspired by any of the baser instincts business or selfishness, which Is more than can be said for Mr. Ickes. This time it was apparent to most people also that the press appeals on both sides were directed toward the intelligence of the people. This reflects the fact that their decisions were not made In good conscience. The fanning of emotions was practised, with abandon and, largely bv the extremists among whom the ad ministration was more than amply represented Kv. th Ti-kps crowd. I would not bother to point to circumstances so glaring, were it not for the fact that there is a constructive job in relation to news and com that Mr. Ickes could be doing, Instead of promoting post-election discussions about a campaign in which nearly 22,000,000 people ..., rwcv and 3.000.000 more for Roose velt (and not Ickes, for if he had been the candi date I do not tninK even, ne wm comcuu result from the people would have been the same.) SIDE GLANCES News Behind the News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 Mr. Ickes, who generally says the wrong thing at the wrong time for the administration, is out now with his quadrenniel refrain a little softer voiced this time that the press neither led nor followed public opinion in th,is' election. Not many will accept his challenge to discuss the Study More Closely NEWSPAPERMEN generally study facts, issues and the prospects of what is ahead for the country more closely-than the average citizen who may only read In haste as he hurries on with his living, gathering his politi cal decisions from a glance at headlines, and what he hears from politicians. What is needed constructively is more facts, greater newspaper presentation of them, rather than less. But Ickes does not deserve so much attention as a press condition which may wreck the peace. It will have far more to do with world freedom of the future than the formulas now ardently discussed, yet few government officials and practically no great section of the public understands it or its importance. The new League of Nations can be no better than what is done about freeing news for the world. We speak of liberating the countries we occupy, but we will have accomplished nothing unless their press is liberated from the old government monopolistic controls by which foreign gov ernment politicians not only directed the under standing of their own people about themselves but controlled all the news to us of their activ ities and therefore our own natural understand ing of them. There can be no freedom anywhere without freedom of news. Vou can readily see that ' spoonfed news from any of the world's nations can bring on war, as easily as aggression, indeed ; an inrfimenslble Dreoaration of all aggression programs. In our own elections, news flows freely from all sides. Vet if only one side had been presented in this election campaign, any inducement for factual presentation would have been eliminated and aggression domestically could have been accomplished. ,-. Free News Vital BASIC theory of this peace is that the world nations are to understand each other in the .future and live in friendliness. They cannot " live in friendliness without genuine understand ing and they cannot have understanding without a free flow of world news, me peace win as false, whatever new League of Nations regula tions are made no matter how strong if the news can be made false. The balance of the world cannot be preserved if the news is un balanced. ' Complete freedom cannot be arranged at once. European nations have been spoonfed their news too lone. . Russia's Dress for instance, is the .government itself. Yet I think any reasonable person can see that by whatever degree free dom of news is achieved, the TJeace will be ef fective to that same degree and no more. These are my views. A gallant fight for news freedom has been led by Kent Cooper of The Associated Press. He spent 2S years success fully beating down European news controls as shown in his book "Barriers Down" which every American should read to understand fully the depths of the points involved. Both party platforms have adopted a declaration for news freedom and congress unanimously endorsed the idea. Yet it remains in the category of good things, which are not likely to be pressed to a satisfactory conclusion, or passed off with pious words to cover violations in practise. If Mr. Ickes wants to do sdmethlng construc tive he can turn his tongue to this neglected subject and away from the American press which has just now again in this campaign proved itself to be the freest in the world re gardless of government controls over many of the most important phases of its business. aowL iw wi ha apwKt. ma t. an, u a. rut, off. .."

Oregon's problem Is to aunply boxes lo the naval hospital at Astoria, the station hospital. Camp White, Medford; the vet erans hospitals at Roseburg and Portland, approximately 2000 gift boxes. It we una tna omrr hospitals should be included, we will need more boxes. Everyone in Oregon should be asked to help. Below are some recommenda tions. Read them carofully, please. Post commanders and ' unit presidents should Immediately i get together on a plan for your community and should cooperate on this program. ' See your local merchants and bankers for window displays,' and posters. i Contact your local pastors and ask their help In making an nouncements to their congrega tionsalso contact your 109a! clubs for assistance. Ask vour Dost and unit mem bers to listen to the Eddie Can tor broadcasts urging donations of "Christmas Gltta for Yanks Who Gave" every Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. Arrange lor a collection aepoi in vour community, where the accumulated packages may be safely stored. Practically most of us, In all walks of life. In this locality en joy prosperity to a certain ex tent; most OI us are Dieuea wim good health, and I think that If we can vote and donate thou sands and thousands of dollars for civic improvements, we should give this effort our whole' hearted support, and make these less fortunate servicemen and women hanov by making It known through these Christmas . gift boxes that their nation has not forgotten them. They all de serve all this and much more. I am sure that we ex-servicemen will do our part, and I have ut most confidence that the public at large will do its part to make this national effort a huge suc cess. I don't think there is a person in these United States sldcratlon and support of our hill In the past election. We do feel, and It hns often been expressed, Unit wo In Klnm ath county are particularly for tunate in having an iinhliisi-d press surh aa the one we hnvo. Yours very truly, Klamath County Teachers.
