Newspaper Heads Told Inside
Story Of Foreign Propaganda
by Karl BickeI

Ways and means of counterfeit
ing European propaganda were
discussed today by the American
Society of Newspaper Edit 80 -"
facts being presented by Karl A.
Bickel, of the United Pres.
"Dodging Propaganda" was the
subject under which Bickel por-
trayed his experience in post
armistice Germany, Russia, and
France. He declared that the en-
tire German press policy was sys-
tematic in its never-ending con-
cealment of real facts and the
presentation of a government-in-
spired point of view.
Russians Are Stupid.
Gwen the great TODD about Ger
man efficiency is propaganda said
Mr.. Bickel. 1T is a pure myth, but
it has been carefully cultivated for
forty years, and people believe It
through LE0 IOICGkEOI TGiLSIdb2Ou. 80.
Russia still maintains q news
paper censorship, Mr.. Bickel said.
The Russians go to absurd extremes
in giving political significance to
every line that correspondent
writes from Moscow. Mr.. Bickel de-
clared that Russian propaganda was
not dangerous because 1t was clumsy,
and added that if 1t were only
known how naive and unsophisti-
Gated the Russians are with respect
to the American. press and Ameri-
can public opinion, Americans would
no longer fear Soviet agitation from
Moscow.
Julian S. Mason, of the New York
Herald Tribune: e. r. Beck, of the
Chicago Tribune. Morris Lee, of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. and
James Kerney. Of the Trenton
Times, took part in a general dis
cussion Of the subject. 1t was gen.
orally agreed that the average Amer
lean newspaper editor was well
equipped now to detect foreign prop
uganda and that it's use in news
papers was becoming moro and more
limited.
Syndicates Discussed.
Another discussion today centered
about the usurpation by syndicates
and press services of the function
formerly exercised by the individual
editors of newspapers. The round
table debate that occurred on this
subject brought out a wide diversity
Of viewpoints. The syndicates and
press services. several speakers said
increased the authority and respon-
sibility Of editors rather than re-
duced it.
The afternoon session Of the con-
vention was devoted chiefly to a
round table discussion Of schools Of
journalism. Walter Williams, dean
of the college of journalism Of the
University OF Missouri, defended the
work being done In the schools and
said 1t was turning out better
editors and reporters

Unless the temporary warmth OF
today has a thawing effect upon the
heaps of frozen slush which orna-
ment the sidewalks and drives in
the residential and outlying sections
of Washington, there is very slight
prospect Of an appreciable change
in the local landscape, the Weather
Bureau indicated today.
TIE rain is over for today, at
least, and the temperature is up,
comparatively. When the forecaster
made his observations today, the
mercury stood at forty-eight de-

It is likely that the weather viii
be colder tonight, possibly nullify-
ing any effects that the warm day
may have. Tomorrow is labeled

Washington may have for some
time to come. The offing is full Of
