German Press Gains

Visiting Editors Say
BY ms A.seeioied Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Reports
Of a slow but sure growth of . free
exchange of news among newspapers
in Germany, after years of Nazi
control, were heard yesterday as a
study course opened here for Is
German editors and publishers.
A six-week course on the func-
tions and techniques of democratic
press, sponsored by the American
Press Institute, started at Columbia
University. American newsmen met
with the visiting Germans.
Hans Norbert Finkel, political
editor OF Dena, the German Press
Association, said German news
papers slowly are re-establishing
themselves for the free exchange
of news.
News Not Censored.
Mr.. Finkel, reporting that the
American Military Government is
assisting German newspapers in
freedom of action, declared:
There Is no news censorship by
the military government. The
only supervision of editorial content
is discussion after articles are
written and published"
Assistance to the newspapers by
the military government, he said
is principally in obtaining presses
newsprint and other scarce ma.
terials.
The German newspapers" Mr.
Finkel said. ARE now depending
mostly on the Associated Press anc
other American news services fol
their world news, as they have not
recovered to the point where they
can send out their own special cor
respondents as they did in the years
before the war.

Forest Fire Checked
After Evacuation Of
! California Towns
BY the Assoeioied Press

OJAI, Calf, Sept. 14.-With
women and children evacuated from
two communities, the picturesque
Ojai Valley resort area lay black
ened and desolate today from q
still burning 12,0OO-acre forest fire
The community of Ojai itself and
the population of $500 felt the
fringe of the flames, but a wind
shift enabled the hundreds of fire
fighters to gain control last night
Chief Pete Little of the Ventura
Fire Department said about 10 or II
homes. including palatial summer
dwellings of wealthy Southern Cali
fornians, were destroyed, but the
fire was halted two blocks short OF
the business district. Initial dam
age estimates ran over $1,000.000.
Federal forestry officials estimated
an area of at least 10000 acres of
chaparral and scrub oak was burned
over. The area is part of Los
Padres National Forest.
The community Of Meiners Oaks
population 1,500, also was threatened
by the blaze.
Women and children were evac-
uated from both Ojai and Meiners
Oaks to Ventura, where the Red
Cross disaster relief set up eating
and sleeping facilities in the civic
auditorium.
Ojai's men stayed behind to fight
the blaze, which claimed the life OF
one volunteer fighter, Louis Frank
lin Hall, A, of Ojai. Mr.. Hall was
found dead in a field behind his
home, apparently the victim of a
heart attack.
There was no report of any other
serious injury.
The Riconado orchid ranch was
described as almost a total loss
including its extremely valuable
nursery, plant stock and equipment
The fire path into Ojai was
checked by bulldozers, which
rammed into residences already
ablaze and carried them away from
other homes.

Good Cooks Aren't Afraid To
Eat Their Own Puddings

Like most Americans. members OF trade
unions think the United States is the finest
country in the world. When sacrifices are
needed TO strengthen ii. real sacrifices that
mean money out of pocket. trade union mem
berS have always been the first to sign up.
In the battle against high prices and initiation
trade unionistS are prepared to do their part.
Now. the National Association of Manu-
facturers. in solemn convention at New Iorks
Sumptuous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. has warn
ed labor against asking any wage increases
within the next few months. The manufact-
urers say that higher wages for labor would
raise prices still higher and hurt the country.
The manufacturers are asking working
people to sacrifice for the good Of the coun-
try what they can win through their collective
bargaining power.
If this is a serious proposal. it deserves
careful consideration. But, first. we have to
Judge whether the manufacturers are talking
as sincere Americans or with tongue in cheek
and an eye to bigger profits.
Any man who asks others to sacrifice,
knows that he gets results if he sets the eX-
ample himself. SO. lets look at what else the
NAM did at its convention.
Did the manufacturers offer to cut back
prices if labor stands pat on wages? Did
lle! agree 10 taxes on excess pfO1llS. Dlu
they endorse President Truman's request for
price controls and rationing? No. These
things they did not.
The NAM didn't even mention profits.
But it did endorse a substantial raise for the
owners and managers of industry. 1t de-
manded IAN immediate and substantial re-
duction of individual income tax rates.
But. it applauded Charles f.. Wilson, head
Of General Motors Corporation Chevrolet,
Pontiac, Oldsmobile. Cadillac and Frigid-
aire) when he urged all employers to discon-
tinue paying time and one-half and double
time for overtime work.
The NAM is asking labor to sacrifice, but
it has made no offer Of equal sacrifice in re-
turn.

Bill of Rights

One hundred and ~fifty-six years ago last
week the first 10 amendments to the COnsti-
tuition of the United States were formally rat
flied and the people were for the first time
guaranteed the protection of the Bill OF
Rights.
1t is refreshing in these DAYS to remember
that popular sentiment in 1889 was so over
Whelminglv in favor of the Bill of Rights that
the t. original states would not adopt the
new constitution until they had been assured
that the Amendments would be submitted as
the first order Of business.
Throughout the years the Bill of Rights
haze remained Il bulWark of American free
dom. but il should be Il matter of great con-
Germ now that the supreme Court in Il recent
decision has seriously weakened the Fourth
Amendment which forbids federal officers
from searching a mans home without a prop
CT warrant.
1t is not enough that our forebearers were
Nigilant to protect their fundamental liber-
ties. and ours. We must fight to preserve
them now. or we are not worthy of them.

SO long as prices continue to climb, the
only thing working people can do is to use
their unions bargaining power to keep wages
in line with prices. If they fail to do this.
they cut their own ability to buy the goods

and in its factories. When buying power
drops anpreciably, prosperity ends. depres-

Catos

some 200 years ago in Rome, a man
named Marcus Portius Cato held the import
ant office of Chief Censor.
1t was his duty to keen the public records
of citizens and their property, and to super
wise public manners and morals.
During his long life-Cato lived to be IS
he became the leader Of a gang in the
Roman senate that made great show of their
virtue and patriotism.
The historian II. G.. Wells. looking back
over the centuries, notes that when this gang
was in power Rome was expanding abroad,
while at the same time it was gradually en-
Shaving the people at home. through the
''usury and greed Of the rich.
Cato and his cronies enjoyed great lux
uries themselves. but would not permit others
to enjoy them. They enjoyed leisure, but
would not permit those who worked for them
a minutes rest, Wells reports.
1t seems to us that there is something
familiar in this brief recital. All that was
lacking in Rome was a trade union movement
to enable the people to stand up against
their Catos.
Profits of eight leading manufacturers of
automobiles were up 965 per cent during the
first nine months of 1947 as compared with a
similar period in 1946-and they didn't lose
any money in that period.
