Certainly no widow should burn

MAYORS RECALL

So few signatures have been oh
tained, and so little financial as
sistance has been offered, that 1t
would be q virtual impossibilIty to
obtain enogh valid signatures by
the deadiine date. December IL.
And even II 2s,095 signatures
were solicited, and the city forced
to spend money badly needed for
other purposes on costly recall
election, there could be no slightest
doubt that Mayor Lee would win
overwhelmingly. The unanimity of
support for her since the recall ef-
fort was launched from civic.
church, fraternal, business and Ia
Dor organizations, and from an I'M

points to certainty of this result.
The essence of support for Mrs.
Lee, from some who voted against
her as well as those who voted for
her when she. was elected mayor
last year. in in the unfairness Of the
only charges fade against her. These
are (1) that she fulfilled her oath
of office by ordering the state and
laws against gambling

 It is not the obligation or the prerogative of news paper man to fashion his stories to meet any given set of circumstances such the furtherance of "n- ternational understandings
 It the business of the reporter to report straight news as he finds it. With the Mexican article written into the proposed code correspondents would be in clear violation of the code in telling the blunt truth about Franco in Spain Peron in Argentina or Stalin in Russia. Certainly the truth about pracNces Of these regimes would fail to further international understanding.
 Truthful accounts of Hitler's rise to power and the activities of the Nazi party in Germany which were destined to plunge the world into war would have been impossible had the Mexican proposal been in effect in the early 1930s
 The United States has warned the Social Commit tee at Lake Success that this government will never become party to any treaty containing restrictive and subservent clause of this nature governing the handling of news. In other nations, possessing an equal understanding of and respect for the duties of

 ON MOUNTAIN SIDE

Tattered remains of what is be- lieved to be one of the balloons sent aloft with bombs attached by Japanese during the war, were re- ceived at the Empire office today from Mrs. David Yates, of Wind ham.
 A small piece of bright red cloth, rubber skin of a balloon, cord, and bamboo hoop about 16 inch es in diameter, were found by a prospector in tree on a mountain side near where the Yates live. According to the letter from Mrs. Yates which accompanied the for eign materials this is how the dis covery was made:
 Last week a friend of ours, who lives across the river from us on Silva Creek, brought us the enclos- ed material. He said he had been prospecting on the mountain side l, about halfway between his place and ours, when he noticed sogle- thing bright handing in tree.

NEWSGATHERING CODE

Every and then attempts are made to control gathering and presenting of news. in other words trying censorship Under the above caption the Fair banks News-Mner has the following to say to which agree:
 Discussions have been held in the United Nations at Lake Success of an international code on news gathering which again Illustrate the truth of the old premise that the result of attempts to define free dom is to limit it Provisos, exceptions and definitive terms cannot fail to narrow existing liberties rather than strengthen them
 An example is found in the recent action of the Social Committee of the U N which unwisely adopted a Mexican proposal to insert in the proposed code an article defining of duties and responsibilities that news correspondents the international scene would be obliged to fulfill The vote on approval was 25-15 with both the United States and Britain dis senting
 The article requires, among other things, that all correspondents report news only in such manner as to further international understandings This is an obvious distortion of the functions of free press
