Oafis Case Is Called
Red Effort 10 Destroy
Free Press Forever
Rx the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-DirectorS
of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association said today that
the imprisonment in Czechoslo.
vakia of Associated Press Core
spondent William N. Oats is "one
more effort" by Communist coun-
tries Ito destroy forever a free
press"
In a resolution adopted by its
board of directors, the ANFA
termed the trial of Mr.. Oats for
espionage a "traveSty of justice"
and said it should serve as a
dire warning to all free people
of the ruthless nature of Com
munist countries"
Oats was sentenced to 10 veal )
In prison.
Expresses Indignation.
The full resolution follows:
The board of directors of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association hereby expresses its
Indignation at the travesty of jus
tice as evidenced in the So-caIIe
trial before the state court in
Prague, Czechoslovakia, a charter
member of the U. N, of William N.
Oats. correspondent of the As
sociated Press. who has been con-
victed of espionage and sentenced
to serve 10-year prison tenn
by this court.
Mr.. Oats has been employed
by the Associated Press as CORE
spondent since 1887 and in that
time has built for himself a record
of integrity. competence and &C
curacy.
His arrest on April %, his being
held incommunicado, denial of the
right to be represented by counsel
Of his own choosing. and being
forced to testify against himself
are all in contravention of the
very elements of justice. His guilt
consisted of reporting established
facts and developments in the
country to which he had been as
signed-the duty of a reporter-by
the press service which employed
him.
Dire Warning Seen.
His treatment at the hands of
Czechoslovakia should serve as a
dire warning to all free people of
the ruthless nature of Communist
countries which have no concep-
ton of freedom of the individual.
Therefore be it resolved, that
the Board of Directors of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association denounceS in strongest
terms the so-called trial and the
conviction of William N. Oats and
that it offers it's wholehearted
support to the Associated Press
and others who are exerting them
selves in his behalf: and be it
Further resolved. that the
Board of Directors records its deep
sense of recognition of the fact
that this was not, in fact, the trial
and conviction of a newspaper
man, but was actually one more
effort on the part of Communist
countries to destroy forever free
press for free people"

Post

A reader says: my mother in
sisted that l couldn't give my sis
ter a shower that 1t wasn't proper
except for a friend of hers. So
asked ore of her friends to give
it at her house and send the in
vitations, but I paid for the party.
I didn't want my sister not to
have such a party and no one
seemed tc suggest one. I'm sure
the friend has let it be known how
it happened, so what difference
did it make. Yet mother wouldn't t
allow it any other way"
Your situation is so understand
able I can't imagine any one eriti-
cizing it. AS matter of fact, your
friend would show her own social
ignorance if she talked about it.
Newspaper Wedding
Announcements
Dear h1rs. Post: When sending
the facts for an announcement of
my daughters wedding in the
newspaper, is such an announce
ment paid for?
Answer: Information addressed
to the Society Editor is never paid
for. There is, of course, no as
surance as to how much of it will
be printed.
Celebrating Brides and Groom's
Arrival
Dear Mrs Post: My brother is
bringing back a bride from abroad
Mother wants to know if we may
give them a reception and may
we serve wedding cake this long
afterward. She is bringing her
wedding dress and veil with her
and we also wanted to know il
she may wear them on this occa-
sion?
Answer: Her dress, yes, but not
her veil The other details are
entirely proper.
Engagement Ring Not Necessary
Dear Mrs. Post: Don't you think
everyone feels it's necessary for
a girl to have an engagement ring
in order TO become engaged? Here
they speak of getting the ring as
they would the engagement itself
For instance, Are you getting
your ring so we can give you a
party?"
Answer: Very definitely an en-
gagement ring is not necessity
as is a wedding ring. 1t is usual
to get a ring, but there are many
occasions when a man cannot af-
ford it and the engagement is GER
tainly valid without 1t. A

The traditional dash and pre-
ciSion of the military added snap
and elegance to the reception Army
Chief of Staff and Mrs. j. LaWton
Collins gave yesterday for the re-
tiring Vice Chief and Mrs. Wade
Hampton Haislip.
From the firing of the 17-gun
salute on the dot of 6 o'clock that
marked the beginning of the re-
tirement parade, to the orderly
ease with which the receiving line
was later ushered into Gen. and
Mrs. Collins quarters, the func-
tion proceeded with the pune
tuality and smoothness character
istic of the uniformed services.
The retirement parade on the
Fort McNair parade grounds was
the second one to be given for a
general within the memory of
most of the generals present. The
first was the one that honored
Gen. Jacob L. Devers upon his
retirement few years back, and
even that was not as imposing
as yesterdays affair, when one
of the most popular Army men in
Washington gave his last salute
to the colorS while in active Serv-
ice.
Gen. Collins and Gen. Haislip
stood at attention at the front of
the reviewing stand while the
band played the Star -Spangled
Banner" and ITO the General
Soldiers of the Third Infantry
Regiment then marched before
them and a formation of jets flew
across the clear sky overhead. Be-
hind them on the stand were
seated cabinet officials and other
ranking guests while on either
side of the stand were rows of
chairs to accommodate the rest of
the 300 or more invited to the re-
ception. Standing about on the
grass watching the proceedings
and greeting friends were Sena-
ator Leverett Saltonstall, Brazilian
Ambassador Mauricio Nabuco, 1t.
Gen. and Mrs. Thomas B. Larkin,
Mrs. Thomas B. Larkin, Mrs. John
L. Dempsey with Mrs. A. Mitchell
Palmer and Lady Lewis with her
son and daughter-in-laW, the Lud-
low Kings.
At the end of the parade, which
went off like clockwork IN about
20 minutes, guests had only 20
cross the street to enter the ar
cooled drawing room of the Col
| Inns Fort McNair residence. A
goodly number skipped the long
receiving line until it had thinned

the shaded garden. where every

| Stars were falling on Fort Nc
Nair yesterday. Nearly every high

of Gen. Haislip means one up
along the line.
