controls may be numbered
Decontrol won't come quickly co
all at once, they admit.
But there's a chance that some
price controls will be dropped next
week and that before the end of
the year the present form of ration
ing, out metals and other raw ma
tcriald wil) be scrapped.
America s poducuvttJ-aIld, not
a change in government policy
wiil be the lever to pry controls
off business and industry, business
men feel.
Productivity has put manv goods
and materials in- such abundant1
supply that they are now selling
well below the celling prices tlie
government imposed to- halt the
price runaway after Korea.
Such goods and materials may
soon come out from under controls..
Hopeful are those who produce
and process wool, cotton, hides',
tallow, burlap and edible fats and'
oils hooeful. but far from certain,
Qt'cburse.
.Expanding production of metals,
coupled with the stretch-out in the
arms program which delays part,
of the military demand for metals,
may get -industry out frpm under
the oresent- controlled materials

men and their customers hope. .

At tne rate new production ia-

products next week probably
won't be clear across the board for
any one product.
For example, feed manufacturers
ana soybean processors have urged
OPS to grant them complete de
control of prices. . .
But OPS officials indicated that
full decontrol is unlikely now, that
the ceiling price of soybean meal
might be raised instead, and that
OPS wanted a formula that would
let them slap controls back on if
prices start to rise again. -
One' thing- worrylngyrice,.controK

Wani down here at the President's
Request- to look for corruption In
ipe government, is nice a pigeon
i''"1 W'"K cll) "
, He can still, hop around but trom
now on he's a bird wltli a handi
cap. He made some angry noises
at senators. They clipped him.
They refused to approve subpoena
powers for him. But he's- had two
strikes on him from the Mart.
As soon as it was announced
early, in February- that Truman
had persuaded this big balding
socialite to dig around here, there
were hoots Irom the capttol, where
a senate committee was -Investigating
a ship-buying deal in which
Morris's, New York law, firm was
interested.; . ., . ' .
While he ,was still scurrying
around, trying to pull an Investi
gating staff together, he was called
before the committee to testify.
Some of the senators mussed his
hair. He mussed theirs In. one of
the most sensational talking back
performances seen here In years.
Among other tilings he said they
had "diseased minds."
Whatever chance he had to get
subpoena power from Congress
went out the window right there.
While senators sometimes criticize
one another, and often rake a wit
ness, they have little enthusiasm
for a witness who does the same
to them.
Ah. the emotional type, said
some of the senators after Morris
had had his say. .Evidently not
the kind of man to be - entrusted
with subpoena-power, -they said.
No one, except a grand jury or'
congressional committee, can com
pel anyone, inside 'or outside the
government, to testify by subpoena.
Not even the President can do that.
Lacking such authority himself,
the President can't jrjve it to any
one else. Only Congress could give
Morris subpoena power. So Trumau

was not the same. committee whose
minds Morris had discuwd, . the

In that way Morris could make
an investigation, first, hand. Lack
ing subpoena power himself, any
time he has evidence of wrong
doing he'll have, to get a' U. S.
district attorney to take the cate
to a grand Jury "-vhlch then could

All sort I of equlvoonllon and

Similar authority given ti 'de
fense agencies in time of war has
never ' been oueatloned. To extent!
Mien fensor.slilp to others roused
righteous -wrath among all the
guardians of the rlulit of Ih nronle
to know. The foremost of the ob
jectors is the press, of which Uls
rarll said: , ,
"flie mess Is not onlv free, it Is
powerful. That power Is ours. It
is the proudest that man can en
Joy. It was not granted by mon-
arens; it was not guinea for us
by aristocracies; but It sprang
from the neoplo: and. wllh an im
mortal Instinct, It has always
worked for the people."
To this Thomas Jefferson added:
"Were It left to me to decide wheth
er we ahoukl have government
without newspapers or newsnaners
without government, I should not
nesuaic a moment to preler the
latter."
When these thlnus wer snlrt
there was onlv one arm of the
press, tne printed word: and that
was mainly newspapers. Exerting
similar function tuday are maga
xlnes, news weeklies, radio, tele
vision and tlie cinema. Thus "the
press, as originally Identified, ex
tends beyond the printed word. The
trlto phrase "freedom of the
press" has become inadenuate and
obsolete.
Demagogues have nefariously
twisted Its intended meaning to re
flect some unusual license not en
Joyed bv others; some special priv
ilege which the people should re
sist. Freedom of the press Is freedom
of the people to know. That Is the
freedom which any government ac
tion abolishes or endangers when
public servants are empowered to
conceal their acts from the people.
For centures the newspaper has
carried the torch against suppres
sion of information. The American
Society of Newspaper Editors,
goaded by this last intrusion by
government, has obsoleted the in
sufficient,, misleading, "Ifreedom of
the presss" and endorsed, In Its
stead, that' which It has always
meant: "Freedom to know."

ly It said: "The only freedom the
prfim needs Is freedom lo give the
people the news and translate It
to them. A phrase which cannot
be misunderstood by the neoplt or
distorted by dictator or detnaioirue
and proclaims the most precious
privilege of free man Is "Frca-1
dom to know."
Speaking for the- press along
with representatives of rndln. cine
ma, and General Elsenhower, at
a William Allen White Foundation
dinner, April 34, 11M0, tills chronic
ler said:
"I have never liked the expres
sion 'freedom of the press.' Today
if we would more correclly epllo
mire this greatest of freedoms, rid
It of semblance of license In us;
make It a fighting phrase of Hie
people, might we not better aay
'freedom to know'? This compre
hends freedom to nee and hear as
well as to read. . .
"We must put behind us as out
moded the term freedom of the
preta,' We must approach tlie pen
pie together, we of mess, cinema
and radio, with a slogan that will
make all men sav, 'I'm for that!'
Make It what you will, 'freedom
to know,1 'freedom ot expression,'
but make It all-inclusive and under
standable. "Freedom of expression H the
stream which turns our water
wheels. Hi source Is In the hills
of free men. It Is led by showers
nf truth. Man may divert Its flow
but never dam its force. Its power
Is everlasting.
"If we would guide this precious
current of security Into the lives
of our children, there la work to
be done upstream- along our com
mon water rights,
"Work against forces which
would still our iiressoa, our cam
eras and our transmitters: or make
them the slaves of propagandists
and tyrants. Let us go upstream
together lo keep the channels
clear."
It Is to thwart administration
propagandists that. news men re
sist discretionary news handouts
from bureaucrats; a fight for the
people not for themselves.
