It is about time that local

1t is about time that local
officials begin to see and rea-
lie that it is to their advan-
tage to let the public know
what is happening, and that
the attitude of attempting to
shroud everything in deep,
dark secrets is just about as
undemocfaticsas anything can
be. We urge that these off
cials and others see things in
their right light. A newspaper
is fundamentally an education
al enterprises medium in
geeting information across to
the public-and the better en-
lightened the public is about
the government and its vari-
Gus departments, the deeper
will be the sense of apprecia-
ton and cooperation which
that public will give.

COOPERATE WITH THE PRESS

COOPERATE WITH THE PRESS
H ATTITUDE of local officials in refusing to give
even routine information to the press is disturbing to say the
least. Year in and year out we have made an effort to Sc
cure the cooperation and understanding of many Of these
officials, but to no avail. The excuse is either that every bit
of information, regardless of how simple, or normal, must be
first approved by the Office of the Administrators, or that
there is nothing to be given out. Then, too, even the inforna-
ton which has already been made public in st. Thomas and
elsewhere is withheld, without any apparent good reason.
And things have gone to the place where not even a word
can be given on the condition of a patient hurt in an acct
dent, though the patient may be recovering normally and
will be ready for discharge within a day or two.
AN EFFORT to understand the reason for all this reti-
cense still leaves us bewildered. There is no nation more
news-concious than the American nation, and we are a part
of that nation. But going, even deeper, it is seen that demo-
cracy can survive only where there is an enlightened public.
And it is for this reason that every dictator, including Hitler,
Stain, MuSSolini, and the rest, has seized the press and con-
trolled it as the very first move towards complete DONNA
ton of all human life. 1t seems to us such a simple matter
that it is amazing THAT men who should know and under
stand would withdraw into a totally undemocraticr SHE'LL and
refuse to cooperate when such cooperation is for their
benefit,
WITHIN RECENT months there have been complaints
a-plenty from the local hospitals, and public meetings and
newspaper articles have struck at the dangerous character of
these complaints. Sitting aloof, the officials have refused to
give proper information. Misunderstanding of the principle
that an enlightened public is easier to deal with than. one
kept in the dark. would have served no end to clear the air.
And thiaaisI but one example Of how things run in practi-
cally all departments. 1t is unfortunate.
WHEN THIS paper complains about the indifference
to St. Crox, it is not a cry due to some distant, isolated in
stance, but shows itself in countless ways. For years press
releases from ST. Thomas, for example, used to reach this
office days late and SO ilegible that in many instances they
could not be used. Repeated pleas for cooperation apparent
" fell on deaf ears until quite recently.

BANNING or FILMS
 OF INGRID SWEEPS
 OVER NATION NOW

HOLLYWOOD. Feb. - LR = A swelling uproar against the interna- oional love affair of Ingrid Berg man and Roberto Rosselllni-which an Alabama ministerial group charges tends to glorify adultery -stormed at the gates of Hollywood today.
 Catholic and Protestant churches censorship boards-even c lcgisla- tor in TexaS-called on theaters to ban the film which sporked the romance, "Stromboli.'
 As the Swedish actress and the Italian director worried over the weakness of Ingrid's newborn son, protests rose in various parts of the nation against their conduct. Ros- sellini has been reported in Rome as admitting he is the chilo's father Miss Bergman is still married to Dr Peter Lindstrom.
 The Birmingham, Ala, Protestant Ministers Association voted to ask theaters to ban all films in which Miss Bergman appears or Rossellini directs.
 At Memphis. Tenn. the city, county censor said all her films would be barred there if officials ruled such action was legal.

BRIDGES ON
 STAND IN HIS
 OWN DEFENSE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7-lR- Harry Bridges took the witness stand today to defend himself against a charge of perjury.
 The President of the CIO Long, shoremen's Union, accused ot swearing falsely that he wasn't a Communist, was the 18th witness in the long trial, which was in it's 49th day
 He will be in the witness chair for several days, on direct and cross examination. there to give the sworn narrative that will determine largely, whether he remains a free citizen of the United States. or is sent to prison and then deported to Australia, where he was born.
 Bridges replied in low voice to the customary preliminary questions put to him by his defense counsel Vincent Hallinan.
 His name, he said, was Harry Henton Bridges. He was born in Melbourne, July 28, 1901. His father was Albert Ernest Bridges, a real estate man. His mother was the former Julia Dorgan
 (The government has contended that "Dorgan" was one of Bridges aliases in the Communist party).
 Bridges said he had the equiva lent, in this country, to a high school education. He went to sea ir l916-he told them he was olde, than he was, he said-first as a cadet, then as an ordinary seaman finally as an able seaman. He worked on steam and sailing ships.
 The trial grew out of Bridges citizenship hearing in 1945. A Fed eral grand jury indicted him fol perjury, holding he lied then wher he said he wasn't and never hac been a Communist.
