Lower Salem Bank
InsiaIIs Tear Gas

The Lower Salem bank, which
has been robbed twice in the
past IL years, has had enough.
This week the bank installed
an electrically operated tear gas
system to prevent holdups. The
new system provides a fast, eff
fective method for stopping hold
ups, bank officials claim.
Ralph B. KlintWorth, electrical
engineer for Federal Laborator-
les of Pittsburgh, Pa, installed
the system in the bank. Accord
ing to Klintworth, the tear gas
does not leave any harmful after
effects and works so quickly that
anyone in the bank is forced out
Immediately.
The bank officials and en-
ployees were given a demonstra-
ton, Saturday at noon, in order
to acquaint them with the opera
ton of the tear gas and its eff
feCts.

Before the Dalai Lama's flight,
the official said, the government
notified the Communist regime at
Peiping that Lhasa was defense

negotiate for peace. The Chinese
replied by radio, he said, advising
all Tibetan officials to remain at
their posts and to carry on their
duties.
With the fall of Chamdo-more
than 200 air miles east of Lhasa-
the invading Reds began an in

ton, the official reported. They
sent political rather than military

alarming the Tibetan population
and angering neighboring India.

and of the Chinese friendship

could take refuge within her bor-

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Gen.
Macarthur, replying to critics OF
his new compulsory war news CEN
sorship rules in Korea, says he
ordered the curbs at the demand
Of the press itself.
"It is a matter of public knowl-
edge how desperately tried to de-
fend press freedom but. strangely
II found myself opposed on the
issue by the press itself and finally
yielded to its almost united de-
mand that military censorship be
imposed" the general declared.
Gen. Macarthur statement was
contained in a cable yesterday to
Editor g. Publisher, newspaper
trade magazine which had criti-
cized the new regulations Of war
Ecoverage.
In an editorial last week the
magazine declared:
THE censorship clamped over
correspondents in Korea is not
only unnecessarily stringent but
is ridiculous in some extremes and
implies distrust of the CORE
spondents which is unjustifled."
General Praises Old System.
Before the new regulations were
clamped down last week, corre-
spondents covering the Korean
fighting were subject to voluntary
censorship to prevent premature
publication of information valu-
able to the enemy.
This system worked well, the
generals statement said.
In the many military cam
paigns in which I have engaged,
most of which were covered by a
rigid form of news censorship, ]
have never seen the desired bal
ance between public information
and military security so well
achieved and preserved as during
the Korean campaign he de-
clared.
"The demand for censorship
became so heavy. however. that
put the matter before a confer
ence of leading publishers and
editors held in Washington on
December 18 last who made it
unequivocably clear that military
censorship should be imposed"
The December 18 meeting was
attended by Defense Secretary
Marshall and a dozen top execu-
tives in the newspaper and radio
field.
After the conference Editor &
Publisher said, a message was
drafted for transmission to Gen.
Macarthur.
1t said:
Fully conscious of Importance
Of maximum protection of armed
forces, but feel security of in
formation from combat area is
the responsibility of the military.
THAT responsibility cannot be
passed to any other agency or
group within the combat zone or
without.
IF the military feels some
further action is necessary to
maintain maximum security. that

action should be consistent with
a minimum interference with flow
of news to all media free to in
form democratic nations.
1.-The military likewise has the
responsibility to provide the max
imum information consistent with
security, and to give adequate
guidance and facilities for news
gathering and handling in dis
charging this responsibility"
