Program Chairman Bill Emory.
That there are more than 10000
newspapers in the United States

tury with the early 18th century
to illustrate the modern need for
current information. and pointed
out that the local paper constantly
provides. at its own expense, help
and explanation in all imortant
community activities.
He cited figures showing that
during the past 80 months, the
Post and Press have devoted 37500
inches of space to such subjects,
much of which could not be con-
Strued strictly as news, and which
if paid for at advertising rates,
would represent more than $4,000.
The amount of space a newspaper
can give to such subjects, he de-
clared, is regulated by the size of
the issues. and they, in turn, are
dictated by the amount of adver-
tiSing.
1.-The more advertising, the more
the local paper can give its readers
in news, and give Its community In
assistance" he said. And the more
news a paper gives its readers, the
greater becomes the circulation
which directly benefits the adver-
tiser
"A newspaper is a kind of CO.
operative concern, in which the pat
rongae of advertisers and commun-
ity and readers, produce benefits
which are Immediately divided be-
tween them"
Barney Foote, president, presided
at the meeting and conducted a

COMMUNISM HIT
BY FATHER CURRAN
Tells Catholic Press It Stands
Up Bold and Brazen' in
New York City.

BY the Asse c.ated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, May 19.-The
Rev. Edward Lodge Curran. president
of the International Catholic Truth
Society, charged today that Commun-
ism Stands up bold and brazen in the
very governmental chambers" OF New
York City.
Father Curran preached the sermon
this morning at the pontifical high
mass for the convention OF the Cath
olic Press Association. He is editor
Of Light, Brooklyn Catholic publica-
ton.
Against the common enemy of
Communism" he said, that is not
merely knocking at the gates, but that
has already crept within the gates,
that stands up bold and brazen in the
very governmental chambers of my
own city of New York, we Of the North
and the South and the East and the
West must stand together.
The Catholic press indulges in
propaganda, but it is the propaganda
or truth, and not the Communistic
propaganda of lies and deception and
falsehood.
I'VE shall not allow this country
to become the dumping ground for
foreign political refugees. The Cath
elic press shall hold aloft the torch
of democracy and Christian civiliza-
ton" ="
Earlier, in an interview, the Rev.
Curran said Secretary of the Interior
Ickes and Secretary Of War Woodring
definitely are playing into the hands

NEW DEAL TEST
SEEN IN OREGON
Intervention by Ickes Held
SignifiCant-Labo Issue
Also Present.
By the Associated Press.

Intervention by Roosevelt cabinet
officer in Oregon's Democratic guber-
material contest paved the way today
for what many observers believe will
be test of administration strength in
tomorrow's State primary.
The Oregon election. coming only
three days after Pennsylvania's hotly-
contested primary, also was comph-
Gated by labor issues which. although
not so clearly drawn as in Pennsyl-
vania, made the name Of John L.
Lewis once more political weapon.
Principals in the oregon campaign
are Gov. Charles H. Martin and Henry
L. Hess, who Is opposing Gov. Martin
! for Democratic denomination. The
administration was brought into the
struggle by Secretary Ickes. who gave
Mr.. Hess his blessing in letter saw
| ing Gov. Martin was at heart no
New Dealer"
| Nj. Hess also drew the inferred sup
port of Senator Norris, Independent,
| Of Nebraska who has backed the ad-
mnistration program. Senator Norris
telegraphed that he was "dlsap-
pointed" in Gov Martin.
The Governor countered Secretary
Ickes' statement by insisting on his
loyalty to President Roosevelt. but as
serting he was no rubber stamp"
Gov Martin, critic of various New
Deal agencies, once referred to Secre-
| tary of Labor Perkins as that miser-
able secretary" and has campaigned
against what he called labor rack
eteers" in his State.
He made labor an issue in the cam
paign by contending that Mr.. Hess
had the support of Mr. Lewis, leader
of the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization.
National Democratic leaders, mean
while, set about attempting to restore
party harmony in Pennsylvania in an
effort to keep the Republicans from
capturing the State in November.
They predicted that Mr.. Lewis
would be persuaded to support Charles
Alvin Jones. successful contender for
the governorship. despite the defeat of
the c. I. o. candidate, 1t. Gov. Thon-
as Kennedy.
They forecast also that peace would
be made between Senator Guffey, who
lined up with Mr.. Lewis in backing
1t. Gov. Kennedy, and the State Dem
ocratic organization which supported
Mr.. Jones 1t was pointed out that
although control of the State party
machinery had passed from Senator
Gufey's hands, he still is the States
principal dispenser of Federal patron
age.
The defeat of the Guffey-Lewis slate
brought this comment from Senator
/ Wheeler, Democrat Of Montana:
Il doubt if Senator Gufey will try
TO read any more Western Senators
out of the party in the future"
/ His reference was TO radio speec!
| last summer in which Senator GuEey
denounced opponents Of the Pres
dents court bill. which Senate,
