to answer certain of the writ
ten queStionS-perhaps hold
ing over some others TO, fur
ther inquiry-the rule might
be that any topic thus intro
duced into the press confer
ence would be subject to the
usual repartee between the
President and the members
Of the press.
BY having written questions
submitted in advance, the
President would be able to
summon to his press confer
ence different members OF the
cabinet who were more famil-
lar than he with certain ques-
tions that it had been decided
by the administration to an
SWer.
There is no reason why, un-
der these circumstances. much
of the material should not be
given out later for first-person
quotation. leaving the other
items to be treated by para
phrase as has been the custom
heretofore.
Members of the press could
improve the conferences by
preparing their queries early
enough to afford an oppor-
tunity to look up the data
needed. This would permit an
orderly grouping of the ques-
tions related to a specific sub
ject. There has been hereto
fore a much too casual atti-
tude On the part of members
Of the press toward the weekly
conferences. While some have
given thought to questions,
there never has been any at
tempt to organize questions
for the whole conference in
advance of the meeting.
It has been rumOred that
Gen. Eisenhower thought pos
sibly he would not hold sched-
uled press conferences but
would call them whenever he
had something special to say.
This does not, however, meet
the main objective of the press
conferences. The basic purpose
is to allow the representatives
of the people to ask questions
of a President, especially when
top news is breaking around
the world and there is public
anxiety. A regularly fixed day
once a week for press confer
ences is essential, subject oc-
casionally to cancellation when

This is one of the explana-
tions given for the purge Of
the nine physicians. some of
whom have rendered great
personal service to Stain in
the past. 1t also would explain

Dorothy Thompson:
The Rosenberg Case
Their Plight Hos Become Propaganda
Vehicle to Defect Attention

The Rosenberg case falls into
the hands of the international
Communist propaganda ap-
paratus at a most favorable
moment for it-when it can be
used to defect attention from
the anti-Jewish trials in
Czechoslovakia and anti
Jewish purges elsewhere, and
charge the United States with
the kind of lynch justice that
is the only kind that prevails
in Communist countries.
1t has top priority in the
Communist armory of psyche
logical warfare, supplanting
charges of American bacteri-
ological warfare in Korea.
The many American nom
Communists, who oppose the
execution, are helping to fuel
this propaganda, aimed at
making out of the Rosenbergs
another Dreyfus case. Protest
meetings are being staged
throughout the world, and the
case has thus been made into
an international political issue.
But why, as the case pres
emily stands, will the Rosen-
bergs die?
They will die because they
have been convicted, and after
appeals to all competent
courts. of a crime that carries
the death sentence, and Of
which they are indubitably
guilty. But they will die, also,
because the Communist Party,
under whose discipline they
stand, wants them to die
rather than open their mouths.
If they would confess they
would not die; but if they
should confess they would con-
tribute to break the Com
munist espionage apparatus
here and abroad and Illustrate
the international propaganda
campaign. These are much
more important to the Com
muniSts than the lives of the
Rosenbergs or the fate of their
children.
The object of the Govern
ment should not, therefore,
be to electrocute the Rosen-
bergs, but to persuade them to
cooperate to save their own
lives and aid the course of JUS
tice. I believe. with some rea-
son, that with the proper psy-
Geological approach, one or
the other of them might be
persuaded to tell the truth.
The clemency plea, of course,
is satanically designed to rule
out clemency. An appeal for
clemency can only be made by
the guilty, pleading extenuat-
ing circumstances attending
actions they did commit. But
the RosenbergS, again in this
plea, assert their entire inno-
cence. If they are innocent, it
is on this ground alone that
they should stand, pleading
for a review of the case and
their acquittal. The innocent
do not plead for clemency.
They demand justice.
But this is not their plea.
While affirming their inno-
cence they argue, "all factors
In this case initiate against
the death sentence" If, how
ever, they are innocent, all
factors initiate against any
sentence. It is not justice
to commute a death sentence
to a lesser one-to imprison-
ment for life, 80 years, or 80
months-for a crime the ac-
cused and sentenced did not
commit!
They argue that the crime
for which they were sentenced
is not SO serious, after all,
that science disputes any ag-
gravated injury to the well

extraordinary events require
the presence of the Chief Ex-
ecutive at other conferences.
Most Presidents, despite
their, outward acquiescence in
press conferences, have not
liked them. President Wilson
was irked by the fact that
statements on problems on
which the discussions were not
completed were sought and it
was not. as he saw it, In the
public interest to give them
out piecemeal. Mr.. Wilson
finally was glad to abandon
the press conferences during
the period before America en-
tered World War I. He gave
privately his reason that he
didn't want to talk before rep
resentatives of Germany. who
were then free to move around
Washington and to report to
their government.
President Harding was a
victim of a serious misunder-
standing internationally when.
during the world ornaments
conference, he made a state
ment directly opposite to that
of Secretary of State Hughes
simply because he was not
abreast of something that had
been said an hour or so before
at the State Department.
President Coolidge insisted
on use of the term white
House spokesman" and was
disinclined to answer many
questions asked him.
President Hoover utilized
the press conference to give
out vital information.
President Franklin RooSe-
welt enjoyed the press confer
ences and let them at times
become frivolous. President
Truman has frequently en-
ployed the conferences more
to disseminate his own politi-
cal propaganda than to an
swer questions of the press.
The press conference-once
established as a dignified in
stitution, with written ques-
tions as well as impromptu
questioning-can be a useful
instrument of government in
America and can by its ex-
ample help to develop similar
relationships between the press
and executive officials in other
free governments of the world.
