Th lawyers may hava loU at other thing to aay about It, but common aenaa will tell you that It Is Impossible for a newspaper to ba a monopoly. Tha two radio ataUons In our town, between them, hava a mon opoly. Tha on newspaper doea not. That may sound a little acrewy, offhand, but It's true. It la true because no other radio etatlon can operate hare except by pa cific license from an appointed 13 A n There can be one, 10 or 100 more newspapers here tomorrow if one, 10 or 100 printers with a -shirt-tail full of typ ehoose of their own volition to publish same. The only way a newspaper tan remain the ex clusive newspaper in this or any other community la to fill the bill well enough that It doeant look profitable for another venture. It's still a free country In that respect Tom. Dick or Harry can atart up a paper and run you out of business II be has what it takes. SPECIFICALLY, the Lorain Journal Is charged with: acquiring ownership of their competitors; refusing to publish ads of businesses which advertise over radio stations or In a competing paper; and Inducing a nearby publisher not to circulate papers tn Lorain. On the first count I can see nothing wrong. If you can buy out your competitor, or the adjoining fanner, why. more power to you. As a matter of fact, when this present Herald and News building was put up there were four or five daily papers here. Those that didnt go broke finally sold out to one of the others. It's been twenty years or mor sine th final consolidation took place. Obviously, subscribers prefer to take one farorit paper. Otherwise they would nav bought eub acrlpUona to all of those tour or five that started out forty odd years ago, and all of them would have been going concerns today. (Though none of that many could have grown to the proportions of th paper you're reading now.) On count number two. It sounds like they're nuts. It's hard to think of a poorer way of doing busi ness. Most papers follow the same practice we do. If yon don't go out of your way to knock someone else, and If you dont deliberately misrepresent, your advertising business not only Is welcome. It's eagerly sought after. (We may think you're silly to use some other medium, but, brother, you're also welcome herej ' 8tin, If the day ever comes that we decide not to accept ads from people who part their hair In the middle. 111 defy anyone to tell us we cant do it Same with circulating other papers in your com munity. That's silly. We know there are lots of Portland and San Francisco papers delivered on Klamath doorsteps. (Matter of fact I take one my self.) They give some things a small town paper can't We bet there are plenty of outside papers read tn Lorain, Ohio.

I a particularly offensive on to a person who dislike class distinctions and hate all forms of snobbery, whether It la the type that thrived on Fifth avenue when Venderbllta had money, or Henry Wallace's broad distinction between himself and the rest of man kind. Most of us are pretty much the same breed and when greatness Is scratched a little. It la dis covered to be of the sam day as th most common. 8o It was Interesting to read a novel by Charles Yale Harrison in which the common man la called -nobody's fool," which gives the book IU title. Harri son's style Is a bit too sexy and the language un necessarily vulgar at times but the novel Is a realistic survey of that wonderful Industry called public relations which Is designed to make people believe what they are wanted to believe. The worst offender In this business has been the government of the United 8 tale which ha spent billions of dollars confusing the American, people, particularly tn tha field of International relations. For Instance, while this country was at war. the terrific force of the OWI and other propaganda agencies of the government devoted themselves to making a distinction between good and bad dictators. Stalin was a good dictator who loved democracy and had to kill oft his associates because they were bad men: Hitler was a bad dictator who believed and practiced fascism which was bad. Communism was not good but it also was not bad. Salasar of Portugal was not so bad a dictator but Franco was very bad because In addition to opposing Stalin, he was a Roman Catholic Mlkhailovlch was a wonderful democrat tor a while, but then he became bad because Tito waa good. Then Tito was bad but now he la good. Chiang Kai-shek waa good once but now he Is bad. This kind of stuff should be disgusting to anyone with common sense, but the memory of most men Is short and only those who have an ax to grind keep tiles of what other men say and do to remind them of their trickeries. In this novel, -Nobody's Fool," Charles Yale Harrison takes the public rela tions set-up and makes It live. I could give a living name to his principal characters and It would not be coincidental, for these hard-boiled public relations men are all over the lot and It la usual for them to give their clients advice which pulls them out of temporary troubles but get them Involved In per manent stupidities. I do not condemn sn entire profession and If anybody needs that kind of person. I can recommend one or two who do their work with some regard to publio morals. On the other hand, I know plenty of these very Smart Alecks who are exactly like the character In this novel which you should read if you want to know bow you and I are hood winked by what might be called th pressure of the preponderance of public opinion. This story Is about now a public relations house builds the common man" Into a personality and cleans up on it The boss of the public relations outfit describes the -common man as follows: "... He'd have a certain working skill and the people In his crowd would think a lot of him. He wouldn't be th muscle-Aound, dumb symbol tha. you see In radical magazines . . . the time, he'd tell you if you asked him, wasn't a quarter to doom or It's later than you think; he'd look at his watch and tell you. The man I'm talking about I the guy that makes and breaks corporations by his sudden and Inexplicable switches In tastes and opinions, who elect presidents and sends all the experts and predlcters to bed with migraine head aches every time on of those unexpected landslides starts moving." It Is not at all surprising that everybody, from the president down, falls for their build up. You have yourself seen a salesman worked over by public relations men until he Is one of the great men of the world. Then they drop him and you dont even remember his name. Girl Scouts Win Parade Prize The Girl Scout ofrios has an nounced that it has received a 15 check from the Summer Roundup association as the award for being the best-organized group in the Fourth of July week-end children's parade. The float, planned around a World Friendship theme and dis playing flags of many nations was given the blue ribbon after the pa rade, and the same float in the gen eral parade on July 4 was given a similar commendation. Members of the Exchange club were Instrumental tn achieving these swards, according to Mr Edith Compton who was display chairman for the Olrl Scouts at the time. She expressed especial ap preciation to Oeorge Clark of the Exchange club for his help. The check will go to the display committee to be used for future work.

BOYLE'S COLUMN A-Bomb Question: 'Where Do We Blow from Here, Boys?' By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. Naturally everyone today is wondering what be should do about the atom bomb. The best possible advice to fol low Is don't buy one now on a rising market. Why have one around the house at all? You cant tune In a base ball program on It like you can on a television set. It's too heavy to tnrow at a cat and too big to fire at a bur glar. And th resale or trade- in value or a used atom bomb 1 a practically sero. Nop, you might as well turn the whole matter over to the Internation al diplomat of the United Na tlons, whose theme song Is: "You Show Me Your Stockpile, and 111 8how You Mine." I think the average man will be glad to let It go at that. For he has become bored to death with the atom bomb. He Is annoyed a( see ing what was to be the century of the common man turned into the century of the big firecracker. And he Isn t happy to know that the $64 question of his generation well may be. "Where do we blow from here, boys?" Goose-Pimply The plain truth Is that the atomic area to date has been nothing but an affront to the dignity of man. It has been a goose-pimply period ever since the mortal mushroom shadowed Hiroshima. It has been a time of scare, fear and crisis east and west. Have the Russians solved the se cret of the atom bomb? Wen. there Is good reason now to believe yea. But what If they have? People n Hal Boyle weary of fear, and mankind Is run rung out of goose pimples. Abraham Lincoln Is reported once to have been challenged to a duel. Given the choice of weapons, he immediately suggested "shotguns at five paces." His opponent wisely dropped the matter. Deadly Duel Today a duel with atom bombs could be aa mutually deadly to na tions as shotguns at five pares would be to two individuals. Atom bombs can be delivered by nlane. ahm. submarine, or rocket I every way except by parcel post. I All nations that took part Many such merry warfare would suffer. and the casualties would be meas ured by entire cities rather than platoons. Imagine the communiques: "A joint lore of allied bombers today attacked and wiped out Minsk, according to plan. Our inter ceptor fighters engaged an enemy flight over the Eastern seaboard and shot down M planes. Boston is Nagasaki Scene Four years sgo I toured stricken Nagasaki, a black scar In the hills. .Room by room I explored a shat tered concrete and steel modern hospital In which every patient had been killed. But the dead had been carted away by then, stacked, doused with gasoline and burned. What Impressed me most were the windows the glass had melted and run like dribbles of candle wax. There la much wise talk about how to protect yourself In the event of atom warfare. The experts agree that dispersal Is fine. But they don't explain how a man who owns a del icatessen store off Broadway can move It to a cow pasture In Wis consin and still sell enough sand, wlches to make his living. Actually about all the ordinary cltlsen In any country can do about the atom bomb Is to dislike It and pray that nobody blows a bugle. Static By DAVE t'NDERHILL That was a Jim-dandy of a pa rade that the guys and gala of OTI put on yesterday afternoon. Sure Is proof that the school on top of the hill Is fast becoming quite an Institution. Spotted a former schoolmate of mine riding along In the lead car. Twas none other than blond, af fable Joe Darnell, lack of all trades, as well as a medical-lab student. Joe sttended Portland university In '47, and was a free lance pho tographer for the Portland weekly and annual. At the same time I was a green-as-grass sports reporter on the same paper. Waa a pleasant surprise to see a familiar face, so far from my former stamping grounds. Yes, there were guys and gals. and also some nicely decorated Hosts In the parade. Got quite a kick out of the young fellow run ning up the street In hot pursuit of and banging on an old automo bile fender. Don't know whether he was work ing off a few demerits, or Just warming up for last nlght'a game. Whatever the reason, I'd say that boy deserves a big "O" for over work. Well, what's on the air over the Week-end? My old favorite, Blng Crosby I too went to Oonzaga university for a year will be guest-starring on Louella Parson's program at 6:15 Sunday. I enjoy always listening to "Der Bingle." But how I detest the yak-lty-yak of Louella. Kids, listen for an exciting epi sode of the Lone Ranger at t o'clock tonight. Chief Crazy Wolf gives the signal for a war dance. But trusty old Tonto catches the sign, pitches It to the Lone Ranger and the side Is out. On Sunday Milton Cross' Opera Album will feature arias from Wag ner, Strauss, Bolto and Verdi. LW at 1:30. broadcast of world news. This will be a dally series beginning this Sat urday at :2S. All you listeners please take note of the following announcement: All eastern stations go back on standard time tomorrow. Therefore "Stop the Music" will be back on Ita regular time of 6-6 p.m. every Sunday. Don't have any due to the new mystery tune. So you are on your own thla week-end. Kind of hard up for copy again tonight, so here are a few more corny gags. Says Ed Duffy of Duffy's tavern, "Miss Duffy reminds me of a cer tain trainman's daughter. She's plain loco with no motive." Vaughn Monroe tells a tale. Just before passing sentence the Judge ssked a pickpocket what good ha had done for humanity. The guile less fellow quips back that he had kept three or four detectives working regularly. That's enough nonsense for now. Now comes our third Installment on how to be a big shot. This one deals with Interruptions. It Is good practice to Interrupt the other person at least once (very other sentence. This breaks up his train of thought and put him at a disadvantage. Sticklers for form usually preface the interruptions with th words, "Do you mind If I Interrupt you for a minute?" However, under no circumstances should you wait for an answer to this question. Just barge right anead. Tf niAHft shmilil ha a hit fnxxv on Monday, please excuse. Am going to Portland tonigni to see my oia alma mammy take the fangs out of Nevada's wolf pack. I hope.

The World Today: I Ry DKWITT MACKKNZIE S I AF t'erelgs-. Affairs Analyst j !,------ President Truman's announce, ment (concurred In by Britain) that there la evidence of sn stomlo ex plosion recently In Russia should cause no surprise. Such a develop ment waa a foregone conclusion. It had to come sometime. Moreover there Is no reason to assume that tills news has Increased the danger ol war between Russia and the West ern powers. In fact It may give a fillip to pear. Prof. Otto Hahn, regarded as a discoverer 0 I nuclear fis sion, declared 1 n Bonn, tier many "the news thst Soviet Kus s I a haa the atomlo bomb is good newt" be cause "if both Maraensl th United States and Russia have It there will be no war." U. S. slate department olllclsls generally take the line that the danger ot war has not been Increased or decreased, but that In tart Russia may now be more ready to make a plan for In ternational atomic control. Whether that was an Inspired es timate ol possibilities, the tact re mains that Soviet Foreign Minuter Vishlnsky In addressing the United Nations assembly at Lake Success yesterday called on the Big Five powers to conclude a peace pact among themselves. He didn't men tion the atomio explosion, leaving his eager audience to draw their own conclusions. As remarked, there Is nothing strange In the fart that there has been an atomic explosion In Russia It would have been remarkable If 11 hadn't occurred, lor it was in the books. A couple of months ago this col umn reported there was widespread belief among scientific observers that Russia had at least the theo retical knowledge aa distinguished from the Industrial knowledge of how to make the bomb. Britain also had the secret. However, America was the only nation having the vast and compli cated Industrial facilities and tne Industrial know-how to construct a bomb. That what stymied Ger many In the World War. Her sci entists claim she had the know-how for the atom bomb, but lacked the Industrial set-up. Haa Russia now overcome these Indus trial hazards? Perhaps nobody outside Russia knows. All we have been told Is that there haa been an atomic explosion In Russia. No de tail. But supposing It was an atomic bomb, there la no reason to assume that the ability to produce one would Inspire Russia to go looking for war with a nation which not only has one atom oomb but many all ready lor emergencies. Bull, we can't overlook the fact thai the more atomic bombs there are scat tered about the world, the greater the chances of explosions. Men wno carry pistols for protection have tender nerves In their trigger fingers. While we are sure that neither the United Stales nor Russia want war, we can t call that good enougn. As President Truman says, this ex plosion in Russia emphasizes again the necessity for "truly effective, enforclble International control o f atomic energy which this govern ment and the large majority of the members of the United Nations sup port" U. N. assembly President Carlos P. Romulo after learning ol the president s statement said the atomic control deadlock before the assembly becomes one of the moat pressing problems. Heretofore aU effort to reach agreement have lauea because of tnabllltv of Rus. sia and the Western powers to get togriner. Therefore the paramount ouestinn of the moment is whether Vishln sky's proposal tor a five power peace pact means Moscow la ready to talk about atomio control.

SOOTHING NOTE One Rift in Clouds, Banks Increasing Business Loans My MAM 1IAVH(IN NEW YORK, Kept. 34 4-Uusl-nesa loans by banks In all sections of the nation ar making tlirlr briskest come-backs III a year. This Is one of tlie few southing notes In the loud discord of strike threat and currency uux-ups. But tlie fall pick-up In Industry and trade, encouraging as It may be, Is not as strung as It waa this tune last year. Dvpai unent store salea are still trulling last year, and even the business loan ad vances over last week are nut near ly, as Impressive as the gains made at the same time last year, Th Increasing total of business loan means that businessmen, mure optimistic than last spring, are borrowing money to buy goods fur their shrives and to expand their activities In belief thai busi ness Is going to be better. far Loadtnga Down Freight car loadings are far be hind last year, and likely to de cline further, thanks to th "no day work week" In th coal fields, and th department of commerce and the aecurlllea and exchange commission predict that from now until the end of tlie year business men will be cutting their expendi tures for new plants and equip ment. Tlie business loan advance la the most checrlul Item of the lot for the shurt-lerm outlook fur busi ness. Federal Reserve member banks m let cities l r ported that last week commercial, Uiduslrlal and farm loans gained a total ot SIM million over tlie week before, an Increase of 1 1 per cent. But In tlte same week last year th seasonal fall ad vance was Ubl million. Ill banks have a total ot SUJ billion out standing, but a year ago they had 1 billion. These loans are used lu part to finance expanding fall business, to carry tuventorlea being built up in expectation of fall and C'hrlal maa retail trade, and lo move harvested crops lo processora and eventually to stores. However, today it hava a still happier picture In the report of the Federal Reserve bank of New York. Hie reixirt covers the week ending September Jl, a week laler than the national report. And It allows business loans by th M reporting member banks In New York City gaming IMI million, tha sharpest upward swing sinew last October, lans to public utilities and sales finaiire companies mad tlis greatest advance. Retail trade, however, continues to be disappointing In most sec tions. Tlie rederal Reserve bank shows that In the week ended September IT only one district, Min neapolis, reported duller sale gains over tlie like week last year. For the country aa a whole department suire sale lagged 1 per cent be hind a year ago. The commerce department Is sis out today with an over-all look at retail trade during August. It report dollar aales througlioul th nation were 300 million above July, but still 1100 million below August, IMS, or a drop of three per cent, bales Narrow But tor the year as a whole the department says total retail salea have kept "within an un usually narrow range" Sales of non-durable goods, like clothing, have sensed. But tins haa been largely otfaet by a "persistent ad vance In the a a I e e of durable goods." such aa automobiles. In August building mslerlal and hard war salea staged neat advance. , Business spending for new plsnts and equipment In the first half of the year aa a little better than in the first half of IMS. but the government agencies expect It to drop from now on. For the year as a whole they estimate the total at Hi t billion. Last year the total waa a record llsl billion. However, 149 should be better than 1S47, when the total waa 111 billion, record In Itself at that time. Meanwhile, almost all hands agree that only after the current labor crisis Is passed can any firm trend In fall retail business and Industrial output be established.
