This Newspaper, Your
Public Servant

This newspaper, dedicated to serving
/. the needs of this community reattlrms this
policy in observance of National News
paper week, October 1-8. The slogan for
this years observance is "A Free Press
Voice of Freedom, Guardian of Liberty"
and the theme is, "The Newspaper as
Public Servant" -
At no other time could the newspapers
be so aptly described. With all of the So
cial and economic upheavals and the rise
of so many isrns resulting from war, news
papers have gigantic task to so imprint
the ideals of the true American way OF
life upon everyone that the public will
know that such ideals were not only worth
fighting for in times of war, but standing
back of in times of peace. 1t is not too
much to presume that World Wars and II
might never have been if all of the people
of this world had been privileged to be
served by the newspaper as the "Voice of
Decentralization of Liberty" World
war III might also be prevented by this
means.
Americans are particularly blessed with
the freedom of the press, speech, religion
and assembly. Even before our cOnstitu-
ton was written and its first amendment
guaranteeing these Iour freedoms free
dom of the press was recognized when such
LAWYERS as Alexander Hamilton won the
case of John Peter Zengler, who was bold
in
1874. John Franklin, b. other Of Benjamin
Franklin. was another of those pioneers
willing to 60 to court to establish the right
of the freedom of the press. 1t was not, how
ever, until 1841 that reporters were free
ly admitted to congressional debates. Now
there is little congress does, or does not
do that you cannot read about daily. The
case of Sedley Lee VS.. the Brooklyn Eagle
in 1913 established the right of news
paper to publish full report of court pro-
ceedings.
The United States is an example of the
fact that the right to criticize authority
can only be permitted by we'll establish
ed and popular government. Under any
type of dictatorship, the press is never
free to print adverse comment. We have
only to look around to see that whenever
the press is controlled by government other
fundamental freedoms also 60. And for
this reason citizens must realize that free
dom of the press is protection for them
selves rather than newspapers.
Nowhere else in the world except in
America does the press have such a re-
sponsibility and opportunity for service.
And service, like charity, begins at home,
with the needs of home people.
This paper, has in the past, and will
continue in the future, to devote itself to
the progress of this community, State and
nation. During the war years we were un-
ceasing in our efforts toward victory and
are today deeply concerned with the main
tenance Of peace, for which so many gave
their lives. In this day of reconversion we
are particularly concerned in aiding in the
establishment of veterans in civilian
life There are many other goals toward
which we are bending our efforts for the
continual improvement of this community.
This is your newspaper, your public serv-
ant-"Voice of Freedom Guardian of
Liberty"

Thomas Doubts President
|WiII Call Special Session
BY the Associated Press

Senator Thomas, Democrat, Of
Utah, said last night he did not ex-
pect President Truman to bring
Congress back into special session to
deal with the coal strike.
mo law, short of withdrawal of
the right to strike, could affect the
present situation" the Senator de-
clared during an ABC broadcast in
which he participated with Senator
Ball, Republican, of Minnesota, and
William K. jackson, president of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce.
'"The government is now in con-
troll Of the mines," Senator Thomas
added, land has urged the men to
return to work. The next step would
be something none of us wants, ma
tionalization of industry after the
Russian pattern. There are no
strikes in Russia"
Mr.. jackson declared Creeping
industrial paralysis" was sown with
one-sided labor legislation which
has brought us to situation where
the dictatorial power of one union
boss is actually challenge to the
authority Of our government.
Senator Ball agreed with Mr..
Jackson that "our Federal labor poll
icy has become completely lopsided
in recent years conferring great
power and no responsibility on
union leaders"

Scientist Enyisaqes
All Matter Rotating
Around Same Point
BY Thomas R. Henry

Concept Of center of creation
around which all things revolve in
an ultimate circle bounding space
and time has been advanced by DR..
George Gamow Of George Washing
ton University in a letter to the
British scientific journal Nature.
DR.. Gamow's thesis for the first
time encompasses all things that
are in one incomprehensibly vast
physical system which, he says, can
be pictured in terms of the general
theory OF relativity.
First, he points out, all known
celestial objects are rotating. The
earth and the other planets are
moving rapidly around the sun.
This can be explained by the as
sumption that they have simply
taken over the rotation of the sun
itself, from which they were torn
in some primeval catastrophe.
The sun and all the other stars
are rotating. This is generally ex-
planned as due to the fact they took
oyer the rotation Of the great
masses Of cosrnic gas from which
they were concentrated. Why the
gas should be rotating, DR.. Gamow
says, Is difficult to explain. 1t is
often explained, however, as being
due to initial turbulence.
1t can be proved that the entire
Milky Way galaxy of about 50000,-
100000 stars and plantary systems
also Is rotating about its geometric
center, with many millions of years
required for a single revolution.
Each star and planet takes part in
this revolution, In addition to making
its own various circular movements
But even this vast conglomeration
OF stars is only pinpoint in all
creation.
Across many millions Of light
years of empty space are many other
star systems of comparable size
the so-called nebular universes.
These also can be distinguished
through telescopes as moving rap
idly around their centers.
The rotation of the Milky Way
galaxy can be determined from the
earth by observation of the move
ments Of nearby stars. In DR.. Ga
mow's hypothesis the galaxies them
selves are treated as stars and from
their relative motions, he believes,
may be deduced the rotation of a
still larger system. This, in itself.
may be only a unit In a still vaster
system.
From all this, he believes, may
come the deduction that all matter
'is in a state Of general rotation
around some center located far be-
yond the reach of our telescopes"
