Let's take beauty contest.
When the local Miss Special is
nosed out by Miss Extra, from a
neighboring state, the local news
paper writers find many reasons to
blame the eyesight of the judges.
The writers for the papers which
will appear in the winner's town
are just as sure of the clarity of
vision and the sound judgment of
the committee. But both sets of
writers will agree on one thing:
the fact that Miss Extra won.
Or take two merchants. Today
one of them will have a set of bar
gains to offer, and he finds himself
Growing over his less fortunate
competitor. Tomorrow in the COL
umns Of the same paper it is his
competitors turn to cheer.
Evening star., 1941-01-21

The important thing is that the
newspapers report the facts in any
case. They don't report that the
home town won when it lost and
they would not let any erring mer-
chant-cven if he were so short
sighted as to want to-advertisc
his yard goods as 36 inches wide
when they were only u.
This sticking to the facts is pos
sible only in a nation where the
citizens have been given the right
to choose for themselves. We have
all been taught that everyone has
a right to his own opinions. But
we have also been taught that such
a system is possible only if people
are given the facts on which to base
their opinions.
1t is this right and duty of your
newspaper to bring you facts which
make it so important a part of your
life! Of course, you couldn't be
trusted to vote or to make your
own free choices in the stores if you

were given a lot of phony news,
lies, propaganda. Dictators know
that the way to hold a whole nation
in chains is to see that the nation
gets only one sugar-coated side of
the story.
Here's what Mr.. Hitler says on
this subject:

Draft Evasions Won't

Just His 'Hunch,' He
Tells Women Democrats;
Louds Directors

Attorney General Robert H.
Jackson has a hunch there won't be
as many draft evasions this year
as the sc, 900 cases prosecuted during
the first World War.
'I can't prove it," he said yester-
day at luncheon of the Woman's
National Democratic Club, Its just
a hunch."
Commenting the courage of con-
scientious objectors who have made
known their beliefs to the Justice
Department, the Attorney General
stated that he believes most of the
objectors have done so in good faith
Nothing is more dangerous than
making martyrs of men acting in
good faith" he declared.
Spy letters Malicious"
Most spies in America are after
industrial information, not military
secrets, Mr.. jackson stated.
Commenting on the peculiar
appeal" of the spy to the American

letters, many of them simply mali
cious," advising the Justice De-
partment of spy activity. An at
titude of suspicion, beyond the point
of national protection, was depre-
Gated by the Attorney General
Pointing out the narrow field left
to the Federal government in pro-
sucuting cases of sabotage and the
difficulty of obtaining evidence, Mr.
Jackson declared that a system of
plant examination and protection
is being worked out by the Gov
ernment. Both labor and employers
have co-operated to the full in in
vestigating sabotage. he said.
Magnesium Control Probed.
The Justice Departments investi-
CATION into foreign control of
magnesium patents, sitting manu-
facture of magnesium in this coun-
try, was cited by the Attorney Cen
eral as another example of the de-
partment's activity for national de-
fenSe.

DR.. Francis E. Townsend. old
ge-pension advocate. told the Sen
ate Finance Committee today that a
political revolution was beginning
in this country which could be halt
ed only by drastic revision of the
Governments attitude toward the
needy.
Urging the levying of a gross in
come tax to meet the cost of larger
old-ase pensions, DR.. Townsend
called the Social Security Act a
farce and said destitution was in
creasing among the aged
This had brought about. he de-
clared, a feeling among many that
was anything but conducive to
peace and loyalty for this Govern
ment.'
You can't expect loyalty to a
government by people who have
nothing" DR.. Townsend declared
I've heard this expression time
and time again: Well. Hitler has
done one thing for the common
people-he has put them 10 work,
given them shelter and something
to eat. That is more than our Gov
ernment has done.
Dr. Marjorie Shearon. social science
analyst for the Public Health Serv-
ice, testified that four-ffths of the
persons over so years old were not
now receiving sufficient income to
maintain themselves in decency and
health.
She said that single persons ought
to have a minimum income of $50
a month in the larger cities and $40
a month in other areas, with the
income OF married couples ranging
from SGT TO S85 a month.
Senator Thomas. Democrat. of
Oklahoma appeared before the COM
mirtee briefly to urge a reduction
from IS years TO so years IN the
age limit of those receiving old -age
assistance.
