THE PUBLIC WANTS CRIME NEWS

When the California Associa.
tion of Editors was recently told
that newspaper could be run
without printing crime news,
they were not apprised of some,
thing new. Every editor knows
that his paper could be put on
the press without single crime
story or a single line referring to
crime in its make up.
It could be done, and in sever
al instances it has been done.
Upon one occasion the Denver
Post turned its publication over

in that edition of the Post. Re

Monitor publishes without such

recognizes that fact. Even the

But every editor knows that

Crime is news. The bigger

value. The reading public, for
the most part, crave that type OF
news. They want it, and they
demand it. They want to read
every detail. they want follow
ups on the affair. The saturation
point of the public for crime
news is infinite. There is no
limit to it.
There are those who do not
read such news and do not want
it, but they are in the minority
The age old problem of the
editor is, What does the public
want?" It is still unanswered.

In a recent address on the

some statements which we hest

doubt their accuracy, but because
they are so astounding that we

In order to make the Governments
second probe of the State highway
commissions handling of used war
materials thorough, it was learned
today that an under-cover Depart
ment of Justice agent has been sent
to Indianapolis to aid.
It is understood the agent already

However, facts found by the De
partment of Justice agent, first
assigned to the case, are expected to
