tee appointed by the recording and

the widely hailed free music pro-
jects until the trustee makes known

ton between the two funds.
The Federat'on's action was vel
coined by leading beneficiaries OF
the programs past two years.

ministrator oi Veterans Affairs

music into Veterans Administration
hospitals has done much to ease
the monotony Of hospital life, rails
ing the spirit and Frightening the
outlook OF hospitalized veterans.

Aiming at improving the quail
.ty and accuracy of the press.
UNESCO has been working now
for some time towards the estab-
llshment of an international Insti-
tute Of Press and Information, en-
vls1oned as a center for exchange
OF Ideas among worlds journalists
and as a library and research lab
oratory. The maintenance of a
high standard of intelligent, in
formed reporting of world events
is one of the main reasons behind
the projected Institute-an idea
supported at UNESCO's last two
general conferences in 1947 and
1913.
The Press Institute as it stands
in its blueprint stage today, will
be an independent agency finan-
ced and controlled outside Of
UNESCO. Present plans call for
a scmpact organization, with
headquarters in Paris. It's most
important function would be to
serve as a seminar centre for the
worlds journalists, where they
could meet, exchange ideas, and
thus bring into their work the
most advanced techniques.
The Institute would also act as
a library and research laboratory.
The most recent developments in
printing, in picture transmission,
in neWsprint production and in
all other fields essential to dis
tributing the worlds news, would
be documented here. In addition
regular reports and studies on
press, radio, television and news
, 1949-09-09

All OF the newspaper repor-
tiers, radio correspondents and
neWsreel cameramen covering
the subject agree that it is a hur-
rlcane, an earthquake or a flood.
There the similarity ends, because
a dozen reporters describing the
same hurricane may produce an
equals number of different ac-
counts of damage and casualties.
When we look at the much
more complex field of information
al relations, the viewpoints di-
verge even further, and some
times even dangerously so. Bad
reporting or the omission of es-
sential facts by a newspaper in
one country can create a one-sid-
ed view of a delicate international
situation. If readers in another
country happen to get a view
point leaning to the opposite side,
a dangerous seed has been sown
which may cause distrust and
misunderstanding.
The press, the radio and the
newsreel are powerful instru-
ments, and the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization has recognized
and encouraged the enormous in
fluence these information services
can bring to bear for the peace
of the world.
UNESCO has looked into news
print shortages, equipment prob
lens and other obstacles to an in
creaser volume of the news we
need. But the quality of news is
as important as its quantity.

reels would be published.

reels would be published.
The proposed Institute also may
represent another advance in the
search for a universal journalistic
code of ethics. This, perhaps,
would be something like the Oath
OF Hlppocrates, taken by medical
men, UNESCO officials say.
The draft proposals have been
presented by UNESCO to Govern
ments, professional organizations
and individual journalists. The
idea itself has met with general
approval, and many constructive
suggestions have been made on
the administrative and policy pro-
blems which must be worked out
for any new organization.
Most of the authorities asked
by UNESCO agreed that the sue
cess of such an institute would
depend largely upon the integrity
and the ability of the people who
staff it, since its influence would
extend only in relation to the res
pect it would command among
working newspapermen and the
general public.
This is at present the status of
the Institute. One course of action
under study is for UNESCO to
convene a meeting of experts to
go over the project and put it in
to shape on the basis of criticism
received. Then the plan would be
referred to UNESCO's General
Conference in 1850 for action.
If the plan is carried out, the
Institute would be the first inter-
national organization of its kind
ever launched. 1t would have a
gigantic task to perform, but its
success would be of great benefit
to all men working for peace and
better understanding among ma
tons, UNESCO officials point out.

Passage Of Arms Bill
In Senate Next Week
Predicted by Leaders
Bv ]. A. OLeory

Administration leaders were
confident today they would get
the $l,3l4,0lO,0o0 foreign military
aid bill through the Senate next
week without further cuts.
Despite their optimism over this
major issue. however, they are
making no plans for an early ad-
journment of this session. The
arms program, is slated to follow
the expected passage this week OF
the reciprocal trade agreement
bill.
Majority Leader Lucas has lined
up the following order of busi-
ness to follow the arms program:
90 Five Government pay bills, in
Guiding one for the military es-
tablishment.
A compromise farm price-sup-
port bill.
An effort to pry the displaced
persons bill out of the Judiciary
Committee for floor debate.
Minority Leader Wherry OF
Nebraska today predicted a late
October adjournment and if the
Democrats rest on the above list
of items Senator Wherry's fore
cast may be borne out.
Senator Lucas told reporters
late yesterday, however. that an
effort to get action on the Presi-
dents civil rights program is "still
possibility" That is the key to
whether the session will end late
in October, or 60 on to Thanks
giving and beyond.
One issue was definitely side
tracked yesterday when the Sem
ate Democratic Policy Committee
voted to make the oleomargarine
tax repeal the first order of busi-
ness at the January session.

British Grant Meat Bonus
To Ease Storage Crowding
BY the Assoeiafed Press

LONDON, Sept. 14.-The Min
istry of Food announced last
night a so per cent bonus on
the British meat ration for the
week beginning September rs.

ling and one penny (about %
cents worth per person per week.
