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.

tor Christmas Gift Presentation
Program, whereby every wound
ed and sick serviceman and wom
an hospitalized in the United
States will receive a gift box at
Christmas, needs your support.
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.
