On the other hand, newsmen in moitt parts of Oregon suy stuie police are a big help co-opernle fully and iiome will even rout u i reporter out of bed nt nivht t'i reptirl a big story. Bupl. H. O Maison says nil ol ileers have been told lo give the press "all the news to which n .'. entitled." This may explain why in three districts there are com plaints One officer believes thr ' people are entitled to all the news ' another believes what they don" ' know won'i hurl them. Fortunately, most atale police ol flcera want tlie people lo be In formed. They can. though. Ink' refuge In the directive And th" directive has a bnsls in law. Traf fic accident reports, for example are not public records of the sor' that can be forced Into the oiwn Sheriffs and city police around the state co-operate In reporting the news, but there are a few scat tered reports of semi-barriers Most ol these, newsmen say. stein from lack of news sense: "I didn't Ihlnk II was news." rrtMKF. The fact Is. most newsmen whrn asked for their criticism if any. replied with praise for the fine co operation they gel from their peace oflicera. City. County and School Offices Practically all ol these are open lo any examination reporters care lo make. Officials are available for comment. Records are open. There are a few exceptions, in scattered arena, and most fre quently the exception deals with a school board. Some of these dis like publicity. Some traditionally hold off-lhe-record meetings to gl things settled then run olf a smooth public session. Once in a while a school board tries to ex clude the press. There Is no state-wide problem on these, though, and local news-, When the Portland Associated men solve their problem In their presj) ,rlej t0 iearn whether a hit own ways.

' The Armed Services: Orri;nn has lew peacetime mili tary or naval establishments, but ' newsmen lo have occasion to deal wilh them cay they still get the old run-around, fjt-splle protestations and reports ol directives from the Pentagon, the armed services oper ate on Ihe theory thai the people ' are not to be to: (I until It suits the convenience ol qlhe officer in charge.

"We have the most trouble with doctors In fact, they are about our only complaint." "We have very poor relations with hospital.' Doctors are the greatest news barrier In this city."
