THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14,1940 Hour law. That law specifically exempts week ly or semi-weekly newspapers with a circulation o f less than 3,000. If the planners felt they had to exempt these newspapers, then they certainly feel they could have authority to control their wages and hours too, if they wished it. Thus, by eliminating only 36 words from the Wage-Hour law, and by applying the Labor Board’s yardstick to newspapers, every paper in the land could soon be under Washington con trol. Any editor who dared to disagree with what the planners planned could be driven out of business. The small town publisher has limited financial resources; the government could easi ly, if so' minded, prosecute him into oblivion. The planners like the radio because it already is under government control. Every station in the land has to have its license renewed every six months. Radio stations try their best to be fair and impartial, but that is extremely difficult under such circumstances. The Gate City Journal W INIFRED BROWN THOMAS - - - - Owner LOUIS P THOMAS . . . .

NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL’S PROGRAM On the other hand, with only a few excep tions, the newspapers were fair during the elec tion. In nearly every newspaper, the reader could find speeches by Roosevelt and Willkie right alongside one another. Thus being able to see all the statements by both, the voters at least could make their own decisions. But on the radio the same parallel can’t pos sibly be completely true, despite the vigorous efforts of broadcasters to keep themselves im partial. Two contestants for public office do not broadcast simultaneously over the same station. Listeners hear either one or the other. So the citizen cannot get both sides of the story in as brief a time as he can from a newspaper. --------4.-------- Co-operative Marketing Association for Malheur Farmers A Properly Equipped Trailer Camp A City Park A Comprehensive Street Improvement Plan OBSERVERS ARE WONDERING, now that the elections are over, what will become of a quiet trend that has been taking place among the Washington planners for many months be fore the election. What was in progress looked to informed dopesters, like a flank attack on freedom of speech and the press, and it raised this question: What are we arming to defend if certain men among us should succeed in wiping out or seriously restricting the basic liberties of which Americans are so justly proud? For example: The National Labor Relation Act (W agner Act) is supposed to control the labor policies of business engaged in interstate commerce. So far, the Labor Board has not gone after the smaller newspapers. But in recent rul ings, it took a long step toward control not only of the suburban and rural press, but also of thou sands of small businesses. The Board decided that it had jurisdiction over one employer who it conceded put only seveh-tenths of one per cent of his product into interestate commerce. It held that since 75 per cent of the goods he used were shipped to him through interstate commerce, the amount of his product which crossed state lines was of no im portance. Now take the corner grocer or druggist— or the weekly or small town newspaper. A great proportion of what they sell is shipped to them across state lines. So by this same yardstick, the druggist, the grocer and the newspaper also can be controlled by the Labor Board. If anybody thinks the planners believe they don’t have control over the newspapers, he has only to look at another statute— the Wage and An interesting sidelight on what happens to newspapers when they come under complete government control is given by recent news from France. This is to the effect that on Paris news stands, the German language newspapers all oc cupy the front row while the French papers have been pushed into the background. Why? Be cause the German papers tell the people exact ly what Hiter wants to tell them. The American people theoratically are arm ing to defend their free republican government. All thinking men, regardless of political belief, therefore are zealous to guard the basic free doms guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. (By James Preston).
