The full report of the House Com
mittee on Veteran Affairs giving
the Disabled American Veterans
a clean bill Of health was received
here today by the DAV Chapter
No. 80.
Anthony L. Ulchar, Commander
DAV and the charitable subject
of the DAV Chapter No. 80, said:
eve are thrilled and gratified
with the results of the COMPRESSION
al hearing which was requested
by the DAV. The report speaks for
itself in setting forth the true facts
about the DAV, its Idento-tag pro-
je : and our program of rehabili-
talon for disabled veterans.
SIT spurs us on 20 render the
finest service possible for our dis
abled buddies. This favorable
action for the DAV by the Con-
gressional Committee should mean
a tremendous increase in member
ship during the next year."
The House Veterans Affairs Com
mittee in executive session gave
the Disabled American Veterans
q clean bill Of health when it a
dopted a report submitted by a
subcommittee which had been APP
pointed to make recommendations
based on the evidence submitted
to the committee during public
hearings in Washington, D. c. in
January and February.
Following is the report OF the
subcommittee which was recent
ly adopted:
"WhereaS the Congress of the
United States has duly incorproat-
ed a veterans organization known
as the Disabled American Vet
Grams, and;
"Whereas, certain newspaper
stories have appeared alleging that
the Disabled American Veterans
has been enga ging in Embarrassing
activities which has violated their
public trust by improper expendi-
ture of funds, and;
Whereas, the Committee on
Veterans Affairs of the House of
Representatives held extensive
hearings upon the subject.
"Now, therefore, the Sub-Com-
mite on Veterans Affairs, appoint
ed to make a report in these
charges make the following recon-
mendations:
81. Your Committee is convinced
that the Disabled American Vet
Grams has rendered q valuable
service to the veterans of the Unit
ed States and that it is continuing
to render such valuable service.
"2. Your Committee is convinc-
ed that the national officers Of
the Disabled American Veterans
are honest, capable and sincere
and earnestly working to carry
out the mandates of the orgaiza-
ton as expressed in its charter
and by its delegates in national
convention.
"3. That the only Embarrassing
activity operated exclusively by
the Disabled American Veterans,
the national veterans organization,
is the Idento-Tage project.
"4. That the Idento-Tag project
is well managed, profitable and
renders a real servicce to disabled
American veterans and to the
owners Of motor vehicles through
out the nation.
seq. That the Disabled American
Veterans National Service Founda-
ton is a separate corporation or
ganized under the laws of the
State of Ohio and is not under the
direct arrangements or control of
the national officers of the Dis
] abled American Veterans.

We hear a lot Of talk these days
about newspaper e.l...-.
If you are interested, here is
my personal credo with due re-
spect to Voltaire) on the subject.
1t is a quotation from, / believe,
Pope's Essay on Morals. It reads:
with or without offense to
friend or foe, we paint your world
exactly as it goes"
That, in my opinion, is the ult-
mate standard for the ethical pre-
sentation of news.
But it isn't easy to maintain
that standard.
You'd be surprised if you knew
of the pressure q news reporter
is subjected to from versions try
ing to influence him. And you'd
be truly amazed if you knew how
often the working newspaperman is
unjustly accused Of slanting the
news. Such criticism usually
comes from persons who are not
exactly sure Of their ground.
When 4 reporter runs up
against a controversial story, he
can follow one Of three general
courses:
1. He can write 4 straight news
story.
2. He can write 4 slanted news
story.
3. He can get a job in some
other field and sleep nights.
If the reporter calls it as he
sees it, and writes 4 straight news
story, he runs the risk Of offend.
ing somebody who viii immediatly
start screaming: ''He slanted that
story-he's trying to hurt me-"
Fortunately, there are fewer
newsmen than some people would
have you believe who follow the
second course. Journalists have
VIGOROUSLY thick skins.
Those who follow the third
course probably don't belong in
journalism anyhow. y
Oh yes, there is a fourth ap-
proach to the problem: The writ.
er can become a do-gooder, agree
with everyone and pat people on
the back Unfortunately. It's the
old soft soap routine which makes
him q lot of friends and bores the
readers. It's pretty easy to see
through insincerity in news writ
ing. As Pope said: Words sweet
as honey from his lips distill'd. "
Personally, I think I'll have the
boys In the back shop print up .
couple Of placards bearing Pope,
epigram and get permission to
tack one up in the office. I'm
pretty sure it expresses pretty vel
the publishers ethical standards.
Speaking Of Pope, I never tire
Of reading his rapier-sharp com.
mentS on the human animal.
Consider this epigram from his
Essay on Criticism:
The bookful blockhead, ignorantly
read,
with loads of learned lumber in
his head.
or:
Some Judge of authors name,

Nor praise nor blame his writ
ings, but the men.
