Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
WAA's bcluted agreement to trans
fer the Marine Barracks to the
state is 8 hopeful development, but
optimism over the-MB situation must
be tempered with a
realization that there
are still obstacles to
be surmounted.
That nothing con
structive has yet
been actually done
with the fine big
plant on the hill can
be laid directly at
the door of the vari
ous federal agencies
that have dallied
nlnntt with this mat
ter for months, each EPLEY
week of delay complicating the situa
tion. It was last winter, nearly a year
ago, that the state board of higher edu
cation decided the establishment of a
veteran school at the Marine Barracks
would be feasible, and began negotia
tions with the navy and federal agen
cies. Those negotiations muddled along
into the summer, and finally the board
of higher education voted not to at
tempt a higher education institution
it the Barracks this year chiefly be
cause it had never gotten a definite
understanding with the government
about taking the plant over.
Then the board of education (not
higher education) came more actively
Into the picture with a plan for de
veloping a vocational school at the
MB. The board voted to ask the fed
eral government for the plant, and the
state emergency board appropriated
$75,000 to get the school started.
RUBBING IT IN
AGAIN came the prolonged period
of negotiations with the govern
ment, this time chiefly with the WAA.
As if to rub it in, WAA finally acted
on the last day of the year, just one
day before the state department of
education had planned to open the
new school. Further, WAA inserted a
couple of new restrictive clauses that
necessitate approval again of the
board of education before closing the
deal.
The money appropriated by the
emergency board for the new school
was to have operated it until February
1, with the idea that the legislature
would appropriate funds to continue
the institution. Now it appears un
likely the school could be started by
February 1. Had the WAA acted
promptly, the vocational school people
could go before the legislature with a
going institution, which would at least
ease the financing project.
In its press dispatch announcing its
decision, the WAA points out the many
advantages of the property, which it
says was laid out on the order of a
college campus rather than a military
installation. That is all true, and it is
unfortunate that fine property could
not have been made available prompt
ly, rather than to have its use by the
state so tied up with negotiations and
red tape for so long a time that even
now it cannot be said definitely that
an educational institution is going to
be established at the Marine Barracks.
COMMENT ON JUNIOR
IXLAMATH FALLS. Ore.. Jan. 2
IX (To the Editor) After reading
some of the unjust comments on
Junior Herald and News, I felt I must
express myself.
I feel you are doing the best you
can, and I would like to express my
DISGUST and INDIGNATION toward
the ungrateful persons who have writ
ten in condemning Jr. H. N.I
You're doing a fine job so far as I
can see.
Sincerely yours,

Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 My farm
friend Bill out in Wisconsin
does not read the newspapers much
He subscribes to a nearby town daily,
and looks at the daily, but his eyes
are not good and after finishing his
farm work in the evenings, he likes to
listen to the radio commentators. And
Bill today, as a result of this method
of getting the news, is worse informed
and more wrongly advised about world
news than you would think a man
could get, unless he happened to be
a Russian peasant.
Not only that but Bill's ideas of the
state of the world, und what should
be done about it, run up and down
from day to day and hour to hour
like a thermometer tied on the tali of
a cow jumping over the moon so fust
it cannot record what it is going
through.
The singular thing about Bill s news
thinking is he can always remember
the most sensational thing one com
mentator said last night, but ho can
never remember even tho sensational
things said tho night before. These
sensations pluy a 24-hour stand with
Bill, and necessarily so, because next
night there are new sensations, gen
erally on the opposite side or entirely
different. Bill can hardly reach a con
clusion (even a wrong one) because he
must hop from one sensation to an
other.
MORE EDITORIAL THAN NEWS
A LOT of people in this country arc
in tho same fix. In a newspaper,
you can read what you want at your
leisure, study it, put it together, and
reflect upon it, agrecobly or ilisogrct"
ably. Also in a newspaper, Just one
page or two at the most is devoted to
editorial advice. Tho rest is news, or
ads, which you can take or not. But
on the radio there seems to be moro
editorial than news, more views than
reviews; and you must take it all.
without occasion for choice or reflec
tion, unless you turn it all off and get
nothing. Furthermore, whatever news
you do get via radio is generally a
briefly summarized short bulletin on
a subject about which a trained news
paper correspondent may write a col
umn or more, giving you the proper
background and evaluation, so you
will not be misled.
Many well-trained, experienced
newsmen ore in radio. The broadcast
ing companies try to get tilings
straight and keep them that way. But
the comment trade Is running off with
their show. Radio comment must be
tuned to the ear. Many commentotors
do three to five shows a day. They
must make their fast-mode product
sound interesting or they will lose
their jobs, and 15 minutes make a
bottomless pit for words. Their bosses
are halfway in Hollywood anyway be
cause the sustaining money for radio
comes from the big vaudeville pro
grams of the stage and screen stars.
All such dramatics are tuned to arous
ing sensations. So radio tries to make
an entertainment out of news, bellow
ing, blowing, breathlessly fulminating,
wheezing, cooing.
Now when things move that fast
and In that vein, they simply cannot
possibly be good. Radio sells to the
car alone. It distributes news by sound
and not value of comment. The value
of the product means practically noth
ing. What it is worth to radio is solely
how someone makes it sound to you.
An empty-headed cooer can be worth
10 trained news experts. And the
whole thing is composed, said and for
gotton so fast, no listener can remem
ber last week's prophesies. Each week
we have a new set of omens. If 90 per
cent of them turn out to be wrong, it
does not make any difference to any
one, including Bill, because he remem
bered them for only 24 hours anyway.
SENSATION APPEAL
k point in news dispensing has
fVI largely been changed from an ap
peal to eye and sense, and turned
around to an appeal to ear and the
atrics; and a great many people are
obtaining their sole information on
this new basis. In a democracy that is
dangerous. Whatever view prevails
among those people must be based on
an inferior product which uninten
tionally but necessarily misleads; in
deed cannot possibly inform people
adequately.
Now this does not mean this line of
information is at the mercy of anyone
working in radio, owning or running
it. The line is really just wide open to
an accumulated mass of snap judg
ments, and exceptionally amenable to
propagandists who grind axes of in
fluencc upon people, and make pres
sures to control the thinking of people.
Many things could be done about
this,, although I have no idea of
cure-all. The radio press associations
might try to fix harder standards
which might be of some effect. The
people involved might be induced one
way or another to strive for soundness
and permanency . in comment, rather
than running 24-hour forgctcries, or
elevate the best and properly classify
the worst. Certainly far less comment
would do and better studied comment
is needed. (A dozen names 'of good
sound radio broadcasting men come to
my mind at the moment whose prod
uct appeals to the intellect rather than
the emotions, but not many arc on
top). Maybe some better ideas will
occur to others. I merely know some
thing should be done.

RFC Inquiry
Slated By GOP
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (At
A sweeping inquiry into the
RFC's handling of war plants
and contracts was under discus
sion today by republican mem
bers of the senate war investi
gating committee.
The republicans talked of un
dertaking the inquiry into the
reconstruction finance corpora
tion as the first of several to
be carried out if the life of the
group is continued by the GOP
controlled senate.
If RFC s war activities are
probed, a committee member
said, it is likely that Jesse
Jones, former head of the agen
cy and former secretary of com
merce, will be the first witness.
The organization provided
much of the financing for far
t i m e industrial development
either directly or through an
interlocking maze of subsidiar
ies.
Also high on the list of pros
pective witnesses would be
George E. Allen, who resigned
last week as an RFC director
after laying before President
Truman a comprehensive plan
to streamline the agency and
take away many of its wartime
powers.
There were indications that
tho republicans have been look
ing critically at the RFC for
some time with the idea or
shearing off much of its au
thority before deciding whether
to give it a new lease on life.
Its present congressional au
thorization expires June 30.
