The Obligation To Know

AS every schoOboy is taught freedom essential
to the preservation of democracy The press must be
free to present the facts which electorate

to that because press Free the ferreting
facts the standing guard the public veal is the
of the press alone.
Yet if press freedom be promised the pubcs right
to know, also there must be cooncommtant premise
that in democracy. it is the publics duty know The
citizen, then is under an obligation to know.
The press is Willingness vaantly anxious be watch

three-point squirt on news Of a

issued a statement saying a new
broad spectrum antibiotic had
been developed. Details were
meager. Within a short time
the stock subsided to a gain of
between l and 2 points.
Trading was at a pace around
a million shares for the day.
Unchanged to lower were rail-
roads, utilities. steelS, motors,
oils. coppers, chemicals, radio
televisions and air lines. None
was under selling pressure.
Aircrafts were popped up by a
gain of around 2 points by
Douglas Aircraft.
Lower stocks included Stata
