The panel's members were Pres idential Press Secretary James Hager'y, Charles A. Sprague. edi tor of the Salem (Oregon) Slates man and a lormcr governor oi Oregon; Robert D. Swezey, ex ecutive vice-president of WDSU Broadcasting Corporation ot New Orleans; James Huston, Washing ton correspondent of the New York Times; and Arthur Schicsinser, Jr., author and professor of his tory at Harvard University. Of thf five all of them dis tinguished leaders in the field of! information only Mr. Sprague gave an unqualified affirmative to the question as to whether the pub lic is getting enough information. The others dissented to a greater or less degree. Mr. Sprague (Charley, to his co workers out here in the West) said flatly he thinks the informa tion the public is getting is GREATER IN QUANTITY and BETTER IN QUALITY than ever before. I quite agree with him. But I go a little farther. I think wha the American public GREATLY needs is more and better infor mation on HOW TO READ AND LISTEN TO THE NEWS. How to APPRAISE it. What to pay care ful attention to. What to D1S-COUNT-and why. We need especially, it seems to me. to learn to differentiate be tween factual news and what I choose to call JAWBONE news. It's the jawbone news that is dan gerous. It's the jawbone news that needs more careful and discerning readership on the part of the pub lic. It's the jawbone news that needs to be questioned penetrating ly by readers and listeners as to its motives and its purposes. - It's the jawbone news to which readers should apply the acid test of WHY DID HE SAY THAT? What is he trying to make us be lieve? Jawbone news is the c'.iip that needs to be constantly turned over to see what is under it.

New Red Protest May Wreck Meet WASHINGTON (AP) - A re newed Soviet protest over a U.S. plane flight into Berlin raised new questions today about Soviet will ingness to settle German prob lems. Moscow accused the United States of deliberately violating Berlin corridor regulations with the aim of wrecking chances of agreement at the Geneva big power foreign ministers confer ence slated to start May 11. The State Department declined comment pending a study of the note, but U.S. officials informally rejected the Soviet contention and denied any violation. The Red protest referred to the March 27 flight to Berlin at 20,000 feet altitude of a C130 U.S. air transport plane. The Soviets say Western flights to the Communist encircled city must not top 10,000 feet. The Kremlin's new move came in a note filed witn the u.!. em bassy in Moscow.

Countries represent ed in addition to the U.A.R. are Lebanon, Sudan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. The official said there are "de grees" of concern over Iraq among the six nations according to their geographical proximity to Iraq. Another factor is somewhat strained relations between some member states with Cairo, mak ing some countries unwilling to give U.A.R.

Sex Deviate Kills Boy, 5 -MILWAUKEE, Wis. tUPD-The entire Milwaukee detective force today. -was thrown into the search for -a bushy-haired, sex deviate who lured a S-ycar-old boy into his car and stabbed and strangled the youngster. The body of little Ben Wagner as found Sunday in a ditch along a road overlooking Lake Michigan, south of Port Washing ton. Police throughout the Midwest also were alerted for the killer, believed to be a young, bushy haired man who sexually molest ed another boy Saturday. Ben s body, with three stab wounds in the left chest and two in the left arm, was found by a newsboy making his rounds where the body' had been tossed from a car. A blood stained bright red Mil waukee Braves jacket was worn by the boy. Police said the car prob ably had blood spattered uphol stery. Milton Gcigcr, 38, Milwaukee, said he pursued a 19SS or 1956 blue or blue-white station wagon for about three miles south on U.S. 141 when he noticed a boy frantically waving irom the front scat. The driver, a man, appeared to be the only other occupant of the vehicle, Geigcr said. The incident occurred about 9 p.m., e.s.t., Sat urday, about an hour and one-half after the boy was abducted while on his way with a companion to get an ice cream treat. - Coroner Or.

Earlier exchanges had been channeled through the four-power air safety center in Berlin. Tha United States, which objected to the buzzing of the C130 by Red Jets, claims there is no lega! ceil ing. While U.S. disagreement with the Soviet charge was evident, tha question remained as to what response to make. Foreign minis ters of the 15-nation NATO have just concluded a three-day meet ing with avowed determination to make the Geneva talks as fruitful as the Soviets will allow. A final communique Saturday declared the NATO members' united termination to defend Western rights in Berlin. At the same time, it reaffirmed readi ness to negotiate an honorable settlement of German problems. In a television discussion Sun day. Britain's Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd and France's For eign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville held out prospects that the Geneva meeting will have enough results to lead to a sum mit conference. Germany's foreign minister. kleinrich von Brentano, cautioned against expecting too much from the Geneva parley but found "some optimism" in the fact that the Soviets have agreed to the talks. In a separate TV interview. Gen. Lauris Norstad said the forces under him as Supreme NATO commander in Europe are not adequate for the full scope of their mission to defend Europe. Norstad wanted his present 21 1-3 divisions expanded to the planned 30 divisions, and more' modern -weapons like Honest John rockets. Norstad pictured his forces aa very substantial nonetheless powerful enough to "go a long way toward backing up any decisions. any policy, any position" taken by the Western Big Three on the Ber lin crisis. NATO Secretary General Paul Henri Spaak spurned a suggestion that he go to Moscow to negotiate in behalf of the West. He said that would be quite impossible because the big powers have interests in volved in the German question which they must defend. Spaak indicated mat it ine troops of the Big Three Western allies are attacked, he believes the . other NATO nations will join in the common defense. . . Secretary of Defense Neil McEl-. roy and Gen.

The Democratic Advisory Council pro poses that Democratic leaders in Congress ignore President Eisen hower's economy drive , and get busy with a spending program to boost the nation s economy. "The Democratic party does not believe in spending for its own sake but we know that a nation which is doing too little is not spending too much," the council said Sunday. Among other things, the ad visory group advocated more aid to the unemployed and more aid to housing, slum clearance, school construction and economically dis tressed areas. "Once more we are witnessing callous Republican indifference to the suffering and needs of people who. through no fault of their own, are unable to obtain jobs, the council said. The 27-member group includes former President Truman, Adlai Stevenson and Democratic Na tional Chairman Paul Butler. Although the council statement didn't mention names, it clearly was an appeal to the party t con-i chairman of the Joint Chiefs of gressional leaders, Sen. Lyndon B.

Gov. Sir Hugh Foot, Archbishop Makarlos, leader sf the Greek cyprlots, and Dr. Fazil Kutchuk, the Turkish Cypriot leader, hailed the futura of tha Mediterranean island. NORWALK, Conn., (AP) It was strange to be hearing this kind of music in a room where there wasn't a blue veil of cig arette smoke and no undercurrent sounds of ice clinking into glasses. The four piece jazz combo sent out the modern sound in St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal church. ' We Intended to show our youth that religion is not old-fashioned," said the Rev. Anthony P. Treas ure, rector of St. Paul s. On Sunday, in New England where great pride la taken in the past this small cnurcn was try ing something new. The music was the "Twentieth- uentury oik Mass" written a few years ago by the Rev. Geoffrey Beaumont, vicar of St. George church. Cam berwcll, England, . It started with the ripple of I piano, then brushes massaging i drum, and finally tha bass and alto sax, whil youth who came ray listened knowingly ana to jort their alders just listened. This was the way the solemn Mass had begun a a so-called "Jazz Mass," before a standing room crowd. ....... - The Rev. Mr. Treasure told this conservative Anglican parish "We cannot leave a part of our Ufa behind us as we come to the house of the Lord." The Rev. Mr. Treasure Is 37. He said the mass was an attempt to place the solemn Eucharist in a familiar setting. The musicians are all professionals from neigh boring Stamford. a As the congregation left tha church and strolled down tha Nor walk green, they had mixed re actions. A New York advertising director said lt wasn't really anything new. "Some of the- 11th century plaia chants were originally drinking songs," he said. One high school student said tha) liked It "but I wouldn't want t hear It every Sunday."
