Libel RELAXING
Bill Is Vetoed
Longlie Says U. S.
Should Change Low

OLYMPIA - Gov. Arthur b.
Langlie has vetoed HB264, by Rep.
o. r. Schumann, r., Yakima,
which would have freed radio sta
lions Of blame for hbelous spon-
taneous remarks by speakers who
strayed from their scripts.
The governor said he did
not believe the present law on
libel applying tn newspapers
and radio stations alike should
he relaxed. He said there was
not sufficient difference be
tween the two types Of bust
ness to justify a change favor
Ing radio stations.
'Defamatory statements are
just as libelous whether they are
printed or broadcast the COVER
nor said in his veto message.
"And they can do just as
much and perhaps more dam
age To the person whom they
unjustly reflect upon where
they are permitted TO come
by means of radio into the
homes all over the states as
when such statements are
printed In periodicals of more
limited distribution.
Recognizing the technical diff
fiHtflfaaC which taaA5A .ta
have to control these matters. IL
seems to me that il. nevertheless
is a difficulty necessarily incident
10 that type of business and one
for which such stations must con-
tinue to assume responsibility.
The governor suggested any
change In radio libel laws should
probably come from the federal
government in view Of the fact
ether waves do not stop at state
lines"
"A further objection IN this
bill Is that a person damaged
by defamstory statements
would have extreme difficulty
In sustaining the burden Of
proof which this act places
upon him. of establishing the
lack of due care on the part
of the operator of a station.
Where the burden is placed upon
one to establish negligence in the
operation Of mans business
where all OF the facts and circum-
stances relative 10 that operation
are known only to that man and
his employees, the difficulty of
establishing negligence would
seem TO be almost insuperable."
The bill specified that radio sta
tions could not be sued for libel
unless il was established that the
station failed TO exercise due care
to prevent uttersnee of q defams-
tory statement.

6iri. nervous About Meeting Her
Fiance's Family, Told They'll
Probably Re ~ Nervous ~ She
We hear 30 much about the cool
Medicines of even the youngest
girls of today that a letter re-
ceived this morning sounds rather
more like one postmarked 1900
than 1s41. But this In one of those
constantly recurring proofs that
we of yesterday and you of today
and they of never mind how long
ago are pretty much of a pattern.
All of this preamble leads To the
letter sent me by newly engaged
girl who is rs nervous a. she can
be at the thought Of going to stay
with her Johns family and the
impression she Is going TO make.
Her letter concludes:
Not one member Of his family
do i know-and the thought of
being on parade Is giving me a
bad dose of the filters. John is
meeting me at the station and
taking me home to houseful of
perfect strangers. ] am to meet
mother. father. three sisters, two
brothers and uncles and aunts and
cousins as well. Won't you please
tell me how to be a composed and
well-behaved house guest and to
make the right impression? II is
so important"
The very first advice to give you
is, forget the word impression. Z"
To think too intently about what
they think of you is the one way
TO make you self-conseious and
tense and i'll at ease. And to tell
you not TO be nervous when you
have a case of the filters" Is go
ing to help about as much as TO
tell someone who has a fever to
keep cool, II, however. you keep
in mind that those who love him
most are probably just AS nervous
about your impression of them as
you are about theirs Of you, that
thought may help.
Az for advice a. TO how TO be
a perfect house guest, whether
you are staying with in-laws-to-be
or in-laws already yours or any
one else whatsoever. perfection
will be measured by your ability
to adapt yourself easily and quick
ly to the ways of the family. And
II you really want to make the
right impression on your Johns
family, then try to be responsive
and good-tempered and appreeia-
tive of whatever effort they make
to please you.

HOLLYWOOD Styles that stem

not just eostume-copies.

can be more theatrical than those

The colorings are nice to work

you almost need the South Ameri-
