PRESS FREEDOMS:
LOSING Ground?

Newspapermen and radiocasters
from Sauk Center to Gotham would
shout ''foul!," claim the opposition
was hitting below the belt.
A Baltimore criminal court Judge
held three local radio stations and
the news editor Of one were guilty
Of contempt Of court because they
violated a court rule that restricts
publication of crime news.
THE JUDGE, John B. Gray, Jr.,
held, in a two-hour verbal opinion
that broadcasts of information about
q convicted murderer, before his
trial last summer, constituted not
only clear and present danger to
the fair administration Of justice,
but "an obstruction to Justice" In
the accused's right to fair trial.
The court agreed with a defense
contention that the nine-year old
rule was an "abridgement Of the
freedom Of the press" but asserted
such an abridgement ''is justified
because it conflicts with an equally
potent constitutional right of an
accused to fair trial"

SATURATION:
CIuimed for Toxes

Millions Of Americans would
agree with the premise: Taxes in
America have reached the satura-
ton point.
Former President Herbert Hoover
made the assertion to congress. AS
a remedy, he suggested unsnarling
q century of government red tape,
a slash in federal spending.
FOR ALL HIS earnestness and the
force Of his figures, Herbert Hoover,
"great engineer Of the depression.
was q voice crying in the wilder
ness.
While President Truman outlined
the need for vast federal expendi-
lures for world social and economic
improvement, as well as for defense
measures, he had said nothing about
reduction Of government expendi-
lures. There was nothing in his an
nounced program relating to any
such action.
True, there have always been one
or two individuals in every congress
who have sought to stick a finger
in the hole in the dixie Of federal
outlay, but to date the stopper has
never approximated the cirmumfer-
ence of the orifice. Indications were
that it would be thus in the 81st
congress.
HOOVER RECOMMENDED con-
solidation of ], 300 bureaus, commits
sions and divisions, but lurking in
the background, ready to raise its
awesome head at any moment, was
patronage. Patronage means votes
and votes mean legislative tenure,
and with the one fattening off the
other, Mr.. Hoover's recommenda-
tons commanded respect more for
their temerity than Tor any hope
of their adoption.

NEW SHUTTER:
Powerfully Fast

A new fluid eyelid for a camera
can blink and take a picture in
lbs Of millionth Of a second. This
eyelid is an electrical shutter with
no moving parts. It's fast enough
to see any one of Is things happen
ing within a millionth of a second.
THE SHUTTER is a murky fluid
that blocks light. Two electrical
contants are immersed in it. When
a current is passed through, the
liquid becomes transparent for an
instant-as if "a bottle of ink became
water clear.
The Photographic plate is exposed
to the action in front of the shutter
for only the fraction of time when
the liquid is clear. The length of
exposure is governed by the volt
age applied. The shutter offers a
new way of slowing the action.
The shutter was announced at
the winter meeting of the American
institute of electrical engineers by
"A. M. Zaren, Stanford research in
stitute, Los Angeles, and F. r.
Marshall and F. L. Poole, u. S.
naval ordinance test station.

vices being used in industry, the

Press Conferences
Have Changed, Too

At a recent White House news
conference, an old timer came up
to me and remarked that the last
few times he had attended these
gatherings, all Of which had been
especially well attended (wen over
100 reporters) he couldn't help
thinking back to the days Of Taft
when, as he put it, Robert Small
of the Associated Press and perhaps
one Of two others who used to be
sneaked into the back door of the
White House for confidential talks
with the President, but no other
newsmen or women had any access
whatever to the Chief Executive.
was not in Washington then but
later I came to know Small very
well and I know he was known as
''the fair haired boy' of the Taft
administration. It was the first
time I had ever heard the express
sion. Small was a brilliant news
man and Taft was very fond OF
him. I well recall the ex-President
(Taft was then chief justice) COM
forting Small's father at Bob's fun
eral. The former White House re-
porter was comparatively young
when he died
do not know how the press
corps felt about SmalIs inti-
mate relationship with the White
HOuse-Or the other fortunate
ones who were given these ex-
elusive privileges but 1 doubt
If it occurred to anyone to sug-
gest the possibility Of having
regular open press confer
ences. Teddy Roosevelt, how
ever, did call in press asSOci-
alton men on occasion.
And yet such situation (no reg
ular conference) seems incredible
today. No President would dare
refuse to see newsfolk and stand
up to questions which sometimes
are more impertinent that peril
nent.

Cattle Industry
Grew With u 6.

Two years after the first COL
onists landed in Virginia, cattle
were conspicuous part of colonial
wealth and by 1927 peninsula "as
large as an English count. i" had to
be fenced off for grazing purposes.
Cattle made so great an impress
sion upon New England that Bos-
ton laid out its streets to conform
to cow trails-and Connecticut and
Rhode Island accepted them as
taxes.
The Carolinas were once re-
garded as "the greatest cow coun-
try" IN America. However, cattle
men began moving west after the
Revolution and by the end of the
Civil war, Texas was the foremost
cattle state.

PENSION BILL:
Vets Must Wait

Little possibility was seen by con-
gressional leaders for enactment of
veterans pension bill during the
current session.
The administration is openly op-
posed to any such measure, being
quoted as saying program already
offered could not be considered in
accord with the program Of the
President"
THE PROPOSAL to which the
refence was made is a veterans
pension bill to give servicemen Of
the last two wars a $50 monthly
pension when they reach age 60,
plus disability payments. 1t is es-
timateS this would cost almost two
billion dollars the first year, with
later outlays reaching multi-billion
dollar levels.
Under this measure, sponsored
by Mississippi's Rankin, veteran
need only to have served 80 days in
either world war to qualify for a
pension. The extra disability pay
would range from $40 to $120 a
month, with no proviso that the disa-
bility must have been incurred in
service.
Veterans administrator Carl r.
Gray, Jr., said that while he was
neither opposing nor favoring the
legislation in his capacity as vet
erans' administrator, its magnitude
must be weighed closely now to
prevent unwarranted financial out
lays in the future. He pointed out
the cost burden might be so great
as to endanger the entire veteran
compensation program.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN was on
record with this statement: "The
necessity for new or extended bene-
fits for veterans without service
disabilities should be judged not
solely from the standpoint Of SER
vice in our armed forces, but in the
light of existing social welfare pro-
grams available to all veterans and
non-veterans alike"
Mr.. Truman also said in his bud
get message: ''The program Of vet
erans' services and benefits should
reflect the fundamental fact that
our primary long-run obligation is
to dependents Of veterans deceased
from service causes, and to vet
erans disabled in the service. At the
same time, we should preserve and
stress our basic objective of assist
ing the recipients Of these benefits
to be as nearly as possible self
reliant and self-supporting members
Of our society,""
All of which indicates that vet
erans of both world wars expecting
pensions and disability allowances
had best be prepared to wait
awhile.

MORE CLOTHES:
British Rution Eused

Great Britain has ended eight
years of clothes rationing-prac-

Effective now, any Briton with
the money may 60 into any store

a dress. And for the first time since
January l, 1910, he won't have to
give "a clothing coupons for the
s,1it. l8 for his wife's dress. Coupons,
however, will still be required for
many articles Of clothing.
