NEWS suppression usually backfires. Except
in cases where military security is clearly
Involved, attempts to shut of the free flow
of information are likely to
end unsatisfactorily, if not dis
astrously. Often they defeat
their own purpose.
The Jap balloon business
furnishes a case in point. It
was felt that military security
required that there be nothing
published to give the Japs in
formation about specific local
ities where these balloons have
been seen or landed.
But the censorship did not
stop there. For many months, EPLET
press and radio were asked to keep complete
alienee on the subject. They complied, even
refraining from mentioning that the Japs were
attempting to land these fantastic gadgets on
the west coast of the U. S., as was requested
of them.
This absolute censorship was enforced in
spite of the need for warning the public against
tinkering with any balloon bombs that might
be landed. After a long time, the military
authorities finally relented to the point of per
mitting word-of-mouth warnings at public meet
ings, schools, etc., but still prohibited publica
tion of the information.
Meanwhile, rumors got started, and a lot of
wild and false stories were gaining credence
among an uninformed public, i Finally, it was
agreed to permit publication of general Infor
mation about the balloons, along with a sensible
warning. It was a tardy decision.
All of this time, we were keeping important
Information from our own people. But were
we denying Information from the enemy he
didn't already have? Certainly, it would have
been safe from the start to tell the public that
the Japs were, trying to land balloons on this
coast. The Japs knew that
This newspaper joined others in urging the
information release that was finally granted.
That information was necessary to prevent trag
edies and to stop the circulation of unfounded
stories more likely-to create hysteria than the
balloons themselves.

Interesting Evening
SALEM STATESMAN, taking note of Klam
ath's commencement without guest speaker,
recalls that the single speaker idea came as a
great reform in its day. "It used to be that
every member of a graduating class had to
five an oration," says the Statesman. "We
recall one such ordeal with the class of '18. It
required two nights for the oratorical orgy."
The Statesman suggests that there might be
a danger, in the Klamath scheme, of reversion
to the old round-robin oratorical idea.
The local tendency appears to be in the other
direction. "Anyway, we can report that the
KTJHS commencement was a grand success. It
wasn't wholly without speech-making, but those
who talked evidently felt the need for brevity,
nd what they said was quite effective as a
result. Without a long address, the program
filled the evening. And it was an interesting
evening, too. ' .
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, May 25 Type of men Mr.
Truman is bringing into government is
likened by some to Coolidge or Harding, and
the assembling personality of his whole regime
. is being run into that past character niche,
especially by bewildered and confused radicals.
It is a bad simile, inaccurate and of no
value except for political opposition. You
cannot find the personality counterpart of this
administration in the past. It is something new.
Look into the first one, John S. Snyder, head
of the Jesse Jones financial empire, (not con
sidering yet the fresh cabinet men). He is a
banker brought in to handle the biggest banking
business in the history of the world, the people's
46,000,000,000 RFC and associated lending
ventures, which the radical clique wanted to
place in the hands of a man who knew nothing
of banking.
Nothing like Mr. Snyder happened in the
Harding or Coolidge era. Why he was not
even president of the First National Bank of
St. Louis from which Mr. Truman extracted
him. He was a reasonably young vice presi
dent, with no grey hair, no wrinkles, a clear
round open face, gonial, .open-talking. In ex
perience, appearance, and every other way. he
was about as far from New York banking
leadership as you could get and still obtain
experience and knowledge. iHe did not rate
who's who.)
First thing Mr. Snyder did also rated only an
obscure paragraph from the press associations.
He found six lending agencies under RFC
functioning with six separate staffs, letter
heads, offices, and all the costly individual
paraphernalia of bureaucracies by order of
law. These agencies not only had six separate
' establishments in Washington, but in most of
the large cities of the country also.
Mr. Snyder had his staff write a new law
consolidating this absurd duplication.. The con
gressional banking committee introduced it.
The bill passed the senate unanimously, with
out objection, Tuesday, and will shortly receive
the same approval of the house.
Now it required no superior ability for Mr.
Snyder to start out this new way. Any roan
with a fresh outlook and ordinary common
sense might have done it, but in view of the
contrary spirit prevailing in Washington for so
long, his simple step stood out like a new
beacon of hope. Mr. Snyder would be a good
man for secretary of treasury, and I think
he will get the job.
a a a
Pauley Leads Commission -
LOOK into Edwin W. Pauley, Truman's leader
of the allied reparations commission, whose
head is being projected into the bear's mouth
in Moscow now. Pauley made a million or so
in California oil, but he looks like an oil work
er.' His ham-hand handshake could make your
teeth rattle. He is towering in heighth, but a
rather young man as international dealers go
and a sharp oil fields trader.
No one ever saw his likes under Harding
or Coolidge, where the choices for such work
ran to men like Dwight Morrow, the Morgan
partner, and Charlie Dawes, the biggest Chicago
banker.
Mr. Pauley will step higher in this govern
ment, probably to Snyder's job if Snyder goes to
treasury.
a a a
Second To Truman
OR look again Into Bob Hannegan, the new
postmaster general (beginning July 1) who
requires another look in view of his sharply
advanced eminence in this new regime. He
is second man to Truman now.
It was Hannegan who brought Pauley in
here as treasurer of the. democratic national
committee for Roosevelt. They all are of the
same stripe, Snyder, Pauley, and Hannegan,
aggressive, untlred, sharp men from the middle
class, hard-knocked, experienced, knowing,
earnest.
Hannegan certainly knows more of Inside
Washington than anyone who has been around
here in a long time, including Mr. Roosevelt
himself.
Or consider Charles Ross, the new press
secretary. His distinction is .not that he is an
experienced news-man. There are many of
those around Washington. But among ' those
available for the Job, he, more than any other,
had a reputation for honesty and equal justice
among his colleagues.
The mention of his name means to everyone
a square deal at the White House and an even
break. He had to sacrifice to take the dosI
tion, but he owed it to Truman, an old friend,
to bring his character into the front for the
new regime.
a a a
Want Good Government
THE one characteristic these men have in
common is that they want to give good
government. I do not know whether they
can, but they want to. I am inclined to think
they may succeed to unexpected proportions
Because uieir minds are not distorted by
ideologies which might lead them to foolish
decisions.
They are not reactionary or even conserva
tive. They are liberals, but they do not want
to fight, hate, and kill everyone who does not
agree with them on every subject.
Mr. Hannegan, I would hesitate to classify
as an altruist. I believe he thinks he can make
good government nay. politically. For instance.
Mr. Truman said, when asked about a financial
policy the other day, that he had to think first
about the Interests of the 85,000,000 bond
holders in this nation.
This was the first time any official here
abouts ever mentioned their interests as dom
inant. The remark just slipped out of his
mind earnestly; it had not been prepared in
aavance.
mi. nooseveii last time wmpped up a success-
tui appeal for only . 25,800,000 votes in the
midst of war. If the Truman-Hannegan appeal
is laid to the genuine interests of 85.000.000
votes the citizens who bought the war bonds
as an Investment in their country to pay for the
war i suspect it wiu become politically popular.

HILLS OF HOME
(In memory of
Seaman Lee Brady)
Ha was a landsman, this brother
of mine,
Green hills he loved, and the
smell of pine.
He never dreamed of another
fate
Than to live and die in the col
umbine state.
His not the heart that cared to
roam,
No ships for him, nor love of
foam.
Until his country called his
name,
Then he went to fight, but not
for fame. .
He had no illusions about this
war,
He well knew what be was
fighting for;
Not glory to him, but a tough,
- grim Job,
And he chose to do it as a navy
. gob.
Proudly we hung our blue navy
star
And prayed for our boy on
ocean afar;
But the star turned to gold on a
Thanksgiving Day
When a Jap submarine sank the
Liscombe Bay.
We'll never forget that ill-fated
day
When the Gilberts' invasion was
underway;
While thirty miles off Makln lay
Our fighting fleet and the
Liscombe Bay.
A gallant crew and a gallant
ship
This escort carrier on her maiden
trip.
And now they sleep beneath the
blue
A thousand men, Admiral Mul
linix, too.
The magazine exploded; all
aboard were dead
When the Pacific's cold waters
closed over his head.
The roar of the guns was his
reveille,
His funeral pyre the Liscombe
Bay.
There's no white cross to mark
the place
Where death and a ship came
