sponsible spokesmen for the ad-
ministration. 1t must do both of
these things with an eye to pro-
noting better understanding of
the United States" abroad.
Specific on Policy.
When it comes to policy, the
law seems perfectly specific. 1t is
clear that books expounding pol
icies contradictory to the ideas
of Congress or the administra-
tion have no place in the infor-
nation program. 1t is also rea-
Sonable to assume that current
official policy should provide the
yardstick for judging the mate
rial. This implies that books
which might have been in tune
with the policy of previous ad-
ministrations and previous Con-
crosses might not survive politi-
cal changes at home and justi-
f1es a normal turnover in this
kind of material.
If there is room for controver-
sy, it centers on the other aspect
of the information service mis-
sion: The job of spreading infor-
nation about the United States
and its people. The question is
how this mission can best be ac-
complished.
In this connection, it is inter-
esting to recall how those who
first set out to administer the in
formation program tackled the
question of the libraries.
They did not take the view that
the law limited them to running
propaganda centerS. On the con-
trary. they proceeded on the
theory that the best way of
spreading information about the
United States and its people was
to present as broad and complete
a picture of American culture as
possible. The basic idea seems to
have been that the information
libraries should provide an eye
opening example of American in
tellectual freedom as a primary
lesson in what the United States
and its people stood for.
Collections HaphaZard.
In this scheme of things. there
! was little question of selecting
suitable" books. The libraries,
in fact, came by their collections
more or less haphazardly, acquir-
ing large number of books from
the Army and from private gifts.
The Government contributed
much of the heavier material,
reference books, historical docu-
ments and the like. 1t also
carried on a program to en-
courage translation of American
classics into foreign languages,
not only for the libraries, but
for distribution through normal
commercial channels.
Even before the present ad-
ministration took over, this
! policy started to change.
! At a recent press conference,
Richard A. Humphrey, director
of the Information Center pro-
gram, called attention to the fact
that until approximately three
years ago, the libraries were
more nearly cultural institutions

Woman Judge Picks
Hottest Day for

A woman judge yesterday

on nudism.

Mail Ban Sought.
The preliminary arguments
concerned a Post Office Depart

to Sunshine and Health and to
Sun, both of which plug the un~

There are at least 3 million
nudists in this country. Even
Iceland has nudists."
Judge Matthews delayed the
Post Office ban pending further
argument July 13. The depart
ment would halt publication of
the magazines by preventing
them from receiving mail, rather
han by barring them from the
mail.

PARIS, July 3.-Premier Jo-

At the same time, the Govern
ment announced the appoint
ment Of a veteran career diplo-
mat, Maurice DeJean, Ambassa-
dor to Japan, as commissioner
general of Indo-China.
The two moves were a reply
to growing unrest in the three
Indo-Chinese StateS-Cambodia,
Laos and Wet Nam-which be-
came part. of the French
Union in 1949.
