LoyoI Employees Need Not Feor

The statistics relating to disloyalty Gin
the Federal Government service). as set
forth in The Star by David Lawrence,
should be of interest and concern to all
who view the problem effectively. The
Star is to be commended for publication
of this data.
1t should be obvious that any one
"under fire. who actually is innocent of
subverSive activities and who has neither
been nor is a Communist or fellow
traveller, would never leave the service
of his own volition until the investiga-
ton of his record should have been COM
pleted. He would have the courage, born
of a clear conscience, to see the whole
show through In this, speak from
personal experience.
Neither will the right type of public
servant, if he knows the facts that are
available to all, have the slightest OBJ
lection to being constantly under the
surveillance of the FBI. Such surveil-
lance is nothing more nor less than con-
slant protection of the employe. Doris
Fleeson seems to think that it would
make Government employment less at
tractive to able workers, but nothing
could be more unobtrusive than that
sort of surveillance and the loyal worker
could do his job and forget all about it.
Along with the rights of civil service
employees, concerning which SO much is
said and written, there are also duties
and responsibilities, fact which is being
sadly minimized A lot more of the
philosophy Of Grover Cleveland is
needed: "A public Office is q public
trust"
Thank God for newspapers that tell
the taxpayers the plain truth about the
operations Of their Government.

Bold ond Predatory

Speaking for all seven Supreme Court JUS
tices who heard the case Mr.. Justice Burton has
upheld lower court finding that the Lorain
Journal, an Ohio newspaper, violated the anti
trust laws in attempting to drive a competing
radio station out of business.
On the facts, it is hard to see how the court
could possibly have come to any other conclusion.
Until 194S, The Journal enjoyed substantial
monopoly in the industrial city of Lorain, which
had no other daily paper. Many of the business
men in the community were dependent on the
papers advertising columns for the sale of their
products Then, in 1948, the radio station en-
tered the field and began to compete for adver
tising. To meet this competition, the managers
of The Journal refused to accept advertising
from any one in Lorain who advertised over the
radio station or who was suspected of planning
such advertising Because of the papers near
monopoly position the effect was to compel many
advertisers to refrain from using the facilities
of the radio station, and thereby to threaten the
stations ability to survive.
This was characterized by the trial court as
"bold, relentless and predatory commercial be-
havior." The Supreme Court agreed with this
characterization, and not many people, in or out
of the publishing business, will disagree.
There is no legitimate freedom of -the-press
issue here. for the First Amendment was never
intended to protect newspaper when it violates
the lawn this instance the antitrust law. The
Iorain publisher also claimed the right as a
priyate business concern to select It's customers
and to refuse to accept advertisements from
vhomeyer it pleases. That would be persua-
siye claim in some circumstances, but not in the
circumstances of this case. Citing other de-

as it relates to the body, but the mind
offers greater possibilities and variations
of approaches and direction. Surrealism
in art still has much ground to cover,

Mink as Democratic Symbol

You should call Jim Berryman's car
toon of the mink taking over from the
donkey as the Democratic Party symbol
to the attention of the Republican ma
tional chairman.
Thomas Mast never did any better
Between this and the election of 1852.
Harry Truman will do everything pos
sible to wipe out the trail of the mink
but if Republican papers throughout the
land were to consistently adopt the mink
as the Democratic symbol. the mink
and what it now stands for could not
be washed out. Words are forgotten
pictures are remembered and talked
about.

Mokinq Bad News Worse

The news of our soaring plane losses in
Korea is bad enough without making 1t worse.
The Pentagon has made it worse by allowing
false sense of security to arise in the public mind
regarding the air war in the Far East The public
has been led to believe that despite overwhelming
odds against u.s. our flyers have suffered negligl-
Bile losses, while the enemy has been heavy
loser The impression logically is fostered by the
glowing accounts of air battles which have been
given out at Tokyo Almost daily we have read
communicates announcing that our pilots have
tangled with superior numbers of MICS and other
Red planes have shot down number OF them
and have returned safely to their bases
Yet now we learn, through the enterprise OF
reporters in Washington, that our air forces
actually have suffered grave losses - much
heavier than those of the enemy. One reporter
dug up that nearly 900 Of our planes have been
lost in combat, as compared with some 800
Communist craft destroyed. Another was given
a higher figure-900-as the total OF American
losses, including some destroyed in non n-combat
crashes. 1t was estimated that operatlonal
accidents have accounted for more planes than
enemy bullets officials here said the figures
were only approximations.
But If only approximately true the losses
come as a staggering shock to most people. 1t
is hard for them to understand how our COM
muniuueS could have been so consistently
cheering to the American public while so many
of our brave pilots and their planes were being
shot down by enemy craft or by anti-aircraft
fire. Is it the policy to include in communicates
only the more successful of our air forayS? Why
has the bad news been allowed to pile up, thus
increasing the impact on an unsuspecting public?
The air-loss reticence is reminiscent of the
atrocity story, which was given out by subordl-
nate officer in Korea without authority and then
f%4A 1nYnn Inv n
messages between Washington and Tokyo The
pubc's confidence in the military establishment
was considerably shaken by the mshandling of
the atrocity disclosure. The misleading tenor OF
the air communques will only aggravate public
distrust of military announcements concerning
what is happening in Korea. That is very dis
turbng Development for public confidence and
support are vital to the defense effort. There
are some things of course, which may properly
be kept from the public-for security reasons.
Accurate figures on our losses for example, might
benefit the Reds But the Reds surely know that
we are losing many more planes than our COM
muniqueS admit There is no sense in trying to
keep this adverse news from the American people.
With these two all-Americas, offensive and
defensive, science for the first time has an ideal
setup for its test The irresistible force the

At Detroit the ordnance people unveil gun
that shoots at right angles. 1t being highly
doubtful that world peace is just around the
corner this would seem safe.

cisions, Justice Burton said the law does not
restrict the right of private businessman to
exercise his own discretion as to the parties
with whom he will deal "in the absence of any
purpose to create or maintain monopoly"
The qualifying phrase is the catch In this
case. For the tactics of The Journal were de-
signed to create, or regain, a monopoly and that
brought 1t clearly in violation of law.
