Some Editors Predict
Record Vote After Hot
Presidential Race
BY the Assoeictsd Press


A record vote November 4 Isl
predicted by editors of some Of
the Nations leading newspapers
who agree this is one Of the hot
test presidential contests in his
tory.
The editors, who came here for
q weekend meeting Of the di-
rectors Of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors. said this
campaign has brought more pres
sure on the press and more criti-
cfsm from partisans of both sides
than any other prediction news
coverage in memory.
Here are some Of the editors in
terviewed:
James S. Pope, executive editor
of the. Louisville Courier-JournalI
and Times, which are supporting
Gov. Stevenson, Democratic nomi-
nee for President:
IT have become convinced OF
one thing: Readers cannot judge
the objectivity of newspaper I'M
q presidential campaign for the
simple reason that they cannot
read effectively. Most of them do
not want objectivity-they want
their side favored.
Both Sides Feel Hurt.
"Many Republicans complained
that our news stories about Nixon
were Democratic propaganda S
until Nixon made his television
speech; then Democrats started
complaining that stories about
Nixon were Republican propa-
ganda.'
Some Democrats think we are
trying to hurt Stevenson by put
ting on page one accounts OF Tru-
mans attacks on Ike; but If we
played Truman down, just as
many Democrats would scream"
Mr.. Pope added: 1T is fairly
easy to keep news even as between
Adlai and Ike. but Truman throws
things of balance"
j. Donald Ferguson, president
and editor Of the Milwaukee Jour-
nal:
THE only other presidential
campaign I can recall which
reached so high an emotional
level was the AL Smith Herbert
Hoover campaign of %. The emo
tions aroused there were of one
kind-religious. In this campaign
we have numerous emotional cur
rents, ranging from grievances
against the Truman administra-
ton to resentments within the
Republican party because Senator
Taft was not the nominee.
Newspapers can only print the
news as accurately as it comes to
us. suppose that so long as the
shadow of Russia falls across the
world and fear is in the minds OF
men, the public is going to be ex-
tremely edgy. suspicious and
angry, temporarily, at facts that
do not please it,"
Wants More Blank Pages.
Intensity of feeling about the
presidential contest has been re-
flected even in an increase IN
service complaints to his news
papers. said Gideon Seymour. ex-
ecutive editor of the Minneapolis
Star and Tribune. He cited one
incident:
"A woman called me about 2
O'Clock one morning and said that
several pages in the second Sec
ton of her Evening Star were
blank. expressed regret, and ex-
planned that this happened when
we changed newsprint rolls on
the press and that while we tried
to throw out all imperfect copies
we didn't always succeed. I told
her that if she'd give me her
name and address I'd have a bet
ter copy delivered to her.
"4Oh, no. she replied. I like
It. I was just calling up to tell
you how much better your paper
would be these days if you always
left half the pages blank!

On Virginia Strike Curb
BY the Associated Press

The Supreme Court yesterday
refused to rule on validity of a
1947 Virginia law which restricted
strikes by employees of public util-
tiles but which has since been
modified.
The ruling was asked by Local
333B. United Marine Division of
the AFL International Longshore-
mems Association. The local ap-
pealed after the Virginia Supreme
Court upheld contempt judgment
against it for failure to obey an
injunction prohibiting a strike.
j. Lindsay Almond, jr.. Attorney
General of Virginia, in a brief
asked the high court to refuse the
union a hearing.
Mr.. Almond said the 1947 law
has been repealed and any Su-
preme Court action now would
affect only the contempt sentences
given the local and two of its
officers. The Virginia Legislature
recently adopted a new law on
strikes against public utilities.
The new statute is a modification
OF the earlier legislation.
