Atlanta Editor Defends
Information Program
Of State Department
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Ralph Nc
Gill, editor of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, has telegraphed President
Truman urging retention of the
State Departments information
program as a means "for this coun-
try's telling Of its own story" to the
world instead Of leaving 1t to others.
Mr.. McGill. Dean Carl Alderman
of the Columbia University School
Of Journalism and Wilbur Forrest,
assistant editor of the New York
Herald Tribune, were members Of
committee that made a world tour
last year to study news freedom.
The Constitution editor tele-
graphed the President Saturday
just before leaving La Guardia
Field for Europe for a study of oc-
cupation areas. He has been serv-
ing as nonpaid consultant to the
State Department in establishment
OF the information program.
Denies Program Is Propaganda.
Mr.. McGill said he differed with
Dean Alderman that the program
was propaganda. 1T is an infor-
nation program" he asserted.
He also said the position of the
Associated Press on governmental
newscasting was based on a mis-

understanding and is un-
tenable.
The Associated Press Board Of
Directors recently held that Gov
eminent cannot engage In news
casting without creating fear Of
propaganda which necessarily would
reflect upon the objectivity Of the
news services from which such
newscasts are prepared"
The AP directors declined fur
ther extension OF the AP wartime
measure Of its news available free
TO the Government for foreign
broadcasts.
UP Takes Similar Action.
The United Press announced
subsequently that it also intended
to discontinue availability Of the
UP news report Tor Government
overseas broadcasts.
Gin Washington William Ben
ton, Assistant Secretary of State
for public affairs. said he Con-
sidered wholly unwarranted the
fears expressed" by the AP d.
rectors. Later he suggested that
they name Mr.. McGill, along
with Mr.. Alderman and Mr.. For
rest, as a committee to investi-
gate the American information
on the program abroad.)
Mr.. McGills telegram to Mr..
Truman follows:
"As q member Of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors Com
mittee on the Free Press, which
travelled around the world discuss
ing that problem with Government
officials and newspaper people in
foreign capitals, I cannot see how
any experienced newspaper person
can doubt not merely the reliability
but the necessity Of America max
ing its voice heard in the areas not
reached by commercial media.
Il have seen Dean Carl Acker-
mans letter to you as published and
1t Is based entirely on false prem
Use. He assumes the program is or
will be a propaganda program. As a
matter of fact, 1t is an information
program. 1t Is impossible to imagine
how any person can fail to see the
necessity for this country's telling
its own story instead of leaving it
to be told by Britain, France, vari-
GUS South American countries and
the Soviet Union, all of whom daily
buy and broadcast American news,
giving it their Interpretation.
Might Become silent Giant"
II am sure neither Mr.. Cooper
Kent Cooper, executive director of
the Associated Press nor Mr.. Baillie
Hugh Baillie, president of the
United Press nor any of their STATS
have listened to the State Depart
ment's broadcasts, which are neither
nor competitive in the
dissemination Of news. There Is no
reason for this country to remain
silent and permit other countries to

interpret our news and other policy
and our domestic problems. There
Is every reason why this Nation
should be articulate.
The attitude Of the AP might

''DELIGHTFULLY DANGEROUS" IS
 BILL AT CAPITOL

"Delightfully Dangerous is the feature opening at the Capitol on Sunday.
 Here is a musical comedy that presents a combination of good music and a light-hearted story which makes a diverting hour and half of entertainment. The ma-
 jority of the songs are rendered effectively by Jane Powell The music is by Morton Gould. Miss Powell is the pivot around which the story revolves. She plays the part of Sherry Williams, a fif- teen year-old student at a music and art school and demonstrates her talents when she presents her songs. Tn her portrayal young Miss Powell is convincing and has the personality to carry the lead. She Is assisted by the experienced Ralph Bellamy, who portrays with ease and charm Arthur Hale, a New York theatrical producer. Constance Moore as Miss Powell's elder sis ter is pleasing.
 Morton Gould and his orchestra provide excellent musical accompan- iment which is a distinctive feature of the film The music of Strauss is presented in a medley consisting of parts of the "Emperor's Waltz" Artists Life" Perpetual Motion" and several other familiar Strauss selections. The remainder of the musical portion of the picture is original music by Morton Gould with lyrics by Edward Heyman. Among these are once Upon a Song" and Through Your Eyes To Your Heart" Charles R. Rogers produced and Arthur Lubin directed from screenplay by Walter De- Leon and Arthur Phillips.
 A Swing Symphony in Techni- color, "Abou Ben Boogie," has heen added to the Capitol bill. All the Thousand and One Nights did not include such a dream as this Ara bian night club jumping with hot tive where rugs are cut rather than woven There's a beautiful Shera- zade who sings blues and dances in style which would be exotic in Araby, at any rate.

'IRISK EYES ARE
 SMILING" x BILL
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Twentieth Century Fox, whose film excursion into the more col orful and romantic periods of our nations past has yielded such mem orable hits as "Alexander's Rag time Band" Hello, Frisco, Hello" "Coney Island" and Sweet Rosie .O'Grady," has reached back again. this time into the brilliant heyday of gay Broadway--and has come up with what Hollywood preview ac- claim marks as the years most en- chanting and exciting musical. The picture, Damon Runyons Irish Eyes Are Smiling" photographed in Technicolor and starring Monty Woolley June Hayer and Dick Haynes, is scheduled to open to- night at the goth Century.
 The world of vaudeville, musical comedy and Tin Pan Alley reached its zenith in the years just pre- ceding the First World War And riding high at the top of all figures of that world was the man who not only wrote songs of the people, but, as variety headliner, sang them to adoring audiences as well. His name was on every music coun- ter and in lights on leading thea tres He was Ernest R. Ball, whose "Mother Maohree," Boy O. Mine Let The Rest of The World Go By and Irish Eyes Are Smiling" still stand among our best-loved songs.
 Balls lite story is told in this feature, packed with love songs at the top of the lit parade, with the romance of two hot-headed sweet hearts who love as only the Irish can, and with rough and roisterous fun of Broadway in it's gayest hey day.

 At Tallulah's insistence, Eythe took time off right there and then to illustrate what he had done. He went through the entire college re- vue scene, singing the lyrics and even venturing the dance routine of the skit.
 An interested listener on the set was Otto Preminger, who stored this discussion away in his memory until he started preparing the 2oth Gen. tury-Fox technicolor musical, Cen tennial Summer" Then he drafted Bill for one of the top masculine roles

 Now everybody is happy - the pride and groom as well as the young couple who let Cupid solve their apartment hunting problem.
 There's tip here for other young married couples.
 If you need an apartment, and lt you happen to know working girl and bachelor who have their own establishments, why not intro duce the two "eligibles"? If mar riage results there will be one va cant apartment, and the grateful couple should be willing to turn it over to you
 We keep hearing that the housing shortage is largely due to the fact that so many young couples are marrying and setting up their own homes.

 Today's hand came up at her club the last time I was there. While three no trumps was a sure contract, Mrs. Anderson (South) felt that the 100 honors justified a game bid in clubs. With the open ing heart lead, it looked as though she would have to lose two spades and diamond, but she decided to play the diamonds to split three three and give herself that one chance to make the contract. She refused to win the first heart trick, but won the second with the ace, cashed the ace and king of clubs and king of diamonds, then led small diamond to dummy's ace.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 19-I've of- ten decrded the Hollywood habit of paying rank newcomers salaries big enough to make most bank presi- dents turn green with envy. But not being bigoted in my Ideas, I'm will ing to make an exception now and then.

I've got to find a young girl about IS or 19 with a certain kind of beauty. I want her to be dewy-eyed, completely inno- cent type-as unsophisticated as though she'd been raised in a noun- tain solitude thousands of miles from civilization. But she's also got to have tremendous fire. And above all, she's got to be natural-born actress, for some of her scenes will be as exacting as anything the most mature star has ever been asked to play. want an absolute unknown, preferably"

I'd also like to acquire an interest in a genuine, real-life singing whale, or talking banda, or a canary bird that could do problems in trigonometry.
 And having acquired an interest in her contract, I'd take the movie company to this wonder girl instead of bringing her to Hollywood. DeWy- eyed innocence and freedom from "sophistication" are extremely per- ishable qualities in our toxic Holly wood air.

With all his other interests this now gives him more irons in the fire than triggers blacksmith, although it is his first diamond venture since that time years ago when he was caught peddling hot zircons in the Day. enport Hotel in Spokane.
 We can expect some far-reach- ing changes in the Pittsburgh club. Already I hear they have asked for waivers on a third base man who can breeze a half in 58 seconds with whip and binders. And where the Pirates will get their horsehide for balls in the future is too obvious to mention. A lesser man would see in Bings move merely an imitation of my buying piece of the Cleveland Indians, but realize it is the des- perate desire of man who wants to be surrounder by other fellows who have their long underwear sticking out from under their sleeves.

Flannel Protects Bright Compact
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Keep your shiny new metal com- pact-back from the wars more showy in decorative design than ever-in it's protective flannel case, if you want it to stay that way. When the flannel slip cover, made to safeguard a compact from the blight of scratches and tarnish, be- comes soiled, wash it. The cotton case can be stretched back into shape after drying to continue it's protective job.
 Cleaning your compact before you refill 1t is good routine to follow to keep it free of powdery dust. After filling, wipe carefully-taking care to probe corners, around the mirror and into hinges - to remove the residue that blots out bright ness.
 Do change your puff often. You can usually get puffs that fit, if you'll go back to the counter where you bought your compact.
 As to polishing an antique brass compact, go about this just as you would If you were polishing up brass candlesticks The use of metal polish and elbow grease will remove lacquer veneer from such compacts, and also mean that you'll have to rub up gleam every week. The effect-for those who think the effort is worth twill be the lovely sheen of old brass, we'll rubbed.
