JAPANESE NEWSPAPER
|LAMENTS WOMEN URGE
FOR LOVE" FREEDOM

TOKYO, March 3d. WP The
evening newspaper Shin Hochi to-
day lamented the fact that "many
Japanese women and girls are
drifting into immoral love affairs
because they are drunk with the
heavily intoxicating freedom which
has been bestowed upon them"
The paper used as an example,
the case of 24-year-old Matsuko
Yoneyama, who robbed another
woman of her husband and despite
the intercession of the police
adamantly refused to give him up.
Citing the Potsdam declaration,
Matsuko asked the police, lam
not free to love any man I choose,
even if he's married? My love af-
fair is my own affair and that Of
nobody else"
The police asked the. girl, "do
you really expect to be happy by
making others unhappy, especially
this mans wife and children?"
'I do not care how ou look at
it," she replied. Il still do not
want anybody to interfere with my
freedom.
Shin Hochi said the girls parents
had appealed to the police to lee
ture the girl on moral discipline
and filial duty. The newspaper
concluded with the statement that
there were many other cases where
Japanese women have twisted the
meaning of the new freedom given
them since the surrender. &

oELAND VOLCANO
ACTIVE SATURDAY
D ense Clouds OF Ashes,
Fumes Pour Out Of
Blazing Mount Hekla

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, March 80.
I-P)-Dense clouds of ashes and
fumes, reaching a height of six or
seven miles, poured out Of blazing
Mount Hekla today, backing out
a wide area to the South.
The 4,764-foot volcano erupted
yesterday 70 rthe first time since
1945.
The peak was ablaze clear across
the top, and thousands of tons of
glowing boulders were being tossed
high into the air. Nearby houses
were shaken.
Ships off Iceland's southern coast
were forced to use running lights,
even during the daytime. Skies
were sunny, however to the north.
Preparations were completed to
evacuate residents Of farms in the
vicinity, if such a move should
become necessary. At the moment,
the only immediate danger seemed
to be from the drinking water,
which is black from lava and ash.
Many farm families rely on open
streamsf or all of their water.
The principal damage may be to
grazing lands, which are rapidly
becoming covered with ashes.
However, the ash-fal seemed to be
decreasing somewhat tonight.
Biologists who have set up sta
tho xyNJoonn cold fhaU
expected the eruption to continue
for several months. Previous erup-
tions usually have lasted at least
that long, and at one time the vol
cano was active for two years.
Airplane companies did boom

from Reykjavik, go miles west of
the volcano. Highways also were

IS not good for the press, and il
IS not safe. Seriou searching
and regular criticism of the pres:
is the ultimate safeguard of its
freedom. The lack of it deprives
inc press itself of the benefits O,
the very principle of which the
press is, in relation to everythina
else, the chief exponent.
The problem is specially i'm
portant form of the question: who

spects the inspector, who polices
the policeman? The commission
ers are not. l think, so clear on
thls point as they might have
neen. We recommend, they saw
mat the members of the press
engage in vigorous mutual criti
clsm.' There they needed, but
missed, the advice of the workire
members of the press. They are
not talking about vigorous debate
On public issues. For there IS
plenty of that. They are talking
about newspaper men criticizing
other newspaper men in their
newspapers.
We are all tempted, and now
and then we indulge, but on the
whole We refrain. And the reasons
are good reasons. They are the
same reasons which make it very
rare indeed that a lawyer Or a
doctor or an actor or professor
will speak out publicly and say
hov badly the lawyer argued his
case, how inexpertly the doctor
diagnosed the disease, how lamely
the actor performed, how dull was
the professors lecture.
For there is fellowship among
newspaper men as there is in
other crafts and professions. They
are not lone wolves. They have to
see each other, meet together, and
work together, and life would be-
come intolerab.e, as it would in a
university faculty or an officers
mess, if they practiced vigorous
mutual criticism in public. l may
say that I have tried it, and have
had it tried on me, and my con-
clusion is that the hard feelings it
causes are out of all proportion to
the public benefits it causes.
Mutual criticism, like marital
criticism, if it is publicly made, is
too hard for mortal men to take.
The good critic should be an out
slider, like Mr. Hutchins as re :
CARDS the press. For personal de-
tachment is necessary to good
criticism. My old editor Frank
Cobb of 1.-The World" used to say
that a dramatic critic should not
be on speaking terms with actors,
much less with actresses, and that
political writer's who saw so much
of politicians that they became
politicians, and financial writer's
who became financiers, were 70
good to him.
So while vigorous criticism of
the press is most necessary to the
welfare of the press, it will have
to come from those who are out
side the press. Those who wish to
work at the criticism of the press
will find this report by Mr.. Hutch
ins an admirable introduction to
the subject.

KANSAS CITY, Kans.-(FP)- Come the depression, members of To- cal 129O, Construction & General La borers Union (AFL) will be able to obtain food and housing on the locals own 130-acre farm.
 The farm, located in Wyandotte county, was purchased recently at a reported price of $26,OOO and is one of the few projects of its kind in the country.

AL ready many of the union members, coming from nine Kansas counties, have used the farm as a picnic grounds.
 At present 20 beef cattle graze on the land and 500 chicks are being raised. More cattle and also hogs will be added. Ralph Petty, a trustee of the local, is managing the project, which was originally proposed by James An derson, the locals business represen- tative.

 The only answer, says the editorial is "nore production" and "more team work" from labor.
