MAIzURU, Japan, Feb. a.
The Japanese repatriation ship
Koan Maru docked at this cel1-
tral Japan port today with 949
Japanese back from Red China,
where they had been detained
more than 10 years.
That boosted the japanese
repatriation total. to 2s,175 since
early last year
Behind Japanese.
Many Of the Tepatriates who
arrived today are technicians
who said they we're forced to
work for China which one called
many years behind the Japa-
nese level technically" .e..
"The Communists are still
trying to restore what the Japa-
nese had built before the war"
said Motnosuke Shimizu, an
engineer. 1T may take 10 more
years for the Communist to re-
store the 1887 industrial output"
DR.. Seiryu Tsukino said Chi

80 years behind the Japanese

Only 10000 Doctors.
DR.. Tsukino, who had been
working at the Sian Clinic in
Central China, said China had
only 10000 licensed doctors when
the Communists took over.

rock bottom industrial produc-
ton year.
Japanese Production. =
These figures compare with
Japan's "A million tons of pig
iron and IL million tons Of steel
ingot in 1854.
When China's 900 million
population and Japan's 80 mil
lion population are taken into
consideration, China's iron and
steel output is hardly impressive.

discovery of promising deposits
of tungsten, molybdenum. tin.

to build a more diversified metal

Attempt to Regulate the Press
Former President Truman and Politics Are Blamed
For Antitrust Conviction of Kansas City Paper

.penalized because he gives the
public a lower price than q
similar product is sold for in
another city? Yet that's the
charge l.:ade against the
Kansas City Star.
It has been alleged that the
Star thus has defeated COM
petition. But is it a crime to
win out in a competitive battle.
and must an inefficient COM
petitor be kept in business
and the prices of a subscrip-
ton or an advertising page
held high so that the COMPETE
tor will not be injured? That's
one way. to be sure. Of con-
trolling the press.
Now, no newspaper which
also owns a radio or q tele-
vision station has q right to
penallze any prospective ad-
vertiser and compel him to use
all his media or to give a dis
count to the users of all three.
For this would be a tie-in of
three separate businesses.
While there were some in
stances of this in the early
days, there are none known
now, and. If any are dis
covered, they should be ex-
amined under the antitrust
laws.
The Department Of Justice
has sought in its civil suit to
force the separation of the
newspaper-publishing property
in Kansas City from its tele-
vision and radio station. This
is supposed to be the job of the
Federal Communications Com
mission, which can issue or
revoke licenses if there's mo-
nopoly. 1t so happens that
there are several competing
radio and television stations
in Kansas City and the Star
pioneered when TV was in
troduced. Now there appears
to be an effort to impose a
penalty for the enterprise and
foresight shown by the Star.
The whole controversy will
doubtless have to be finally
settled in the Supreme Court
of the United States, and it
will be interesting to see how
far the New Deal and Fair
Deal philosophy is going to be
accepted or rejected in what
today appears as a palpable
effort to rewrite' the Constitu-
tion without the participation
of the Congress or the people.

Regulation and control Of
the press, despite the protec-
ton supposed to be afforded
by the Bill Of Rights In the
Constitution, has been brought
one step nearer to consumma-
ton in America by the deci-
sion in the case of the Kansas
City Star. A jury obedient to
the highly prejudiced instruc-
tions of q Federal judge now
has convicted that newspaper
of violating antitrust laws.
There are some 1870 cities in
the United States where q
single newspaper ownership
exists and where conceivably
a politically minded admin
istration can do what the
Truman regime did in an
attempt to wreak vengeance
on the Kansas City Star for
its crusade against the Pen
dergast machine of the Dem
ocratic Party and its vote
getting frauds in that area.
Harry Truman, as Senator.
helped to bring about the
appointment of the judge in
the case over the objection Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's Attorney Cen
eral - Francis Biddle - who
questioned his fitness for the
bench. The Star. by It's Wig
orous crusade against the
political henchmen Of Mr..
Truman, earned the latter's
enmity. The case was insti-
tuted by the Truman adminis-
tration. The Eisenhower ad-
ministration was unable to
quash it, as the matter was
already in the courts, and
there would have been a cry
of political influence in the
opposite direction If the case
had been dropped.
But it is obvious that a
criminal trial before a jury in
such a highly complicated
and technical affair as an
antitrust charge can hardly
resolve the issues for the
guidance even of the defendant
If convicted. For all a jury
decides is whether the defend
ant is guilty or not guilty. It
files no explanation or legal
opinion.
There is also a civil suit
pending against the Kansas
City Star which has not yet
been tried. Here a judicial
opinion by a lower court and
perhaps by the Supreme Court
Evening star., 1955-02-24

will be available for examina-
ton. There have been two
somewhat similar cases here
tofore-one against a news
paper in Lorain. Ohio. which
lost the suit, and one against
a newspaper at New Orleans.
which won its case. Some
basic issues have been raised
in these cases, but they are not
identical with the charges
filed in the Kansas City cases.
What is involved funda-
mentally is the right Of a
newspaper to set a selling
price of its own for the
editions it sells to the sub
Scriber. In Kansas City. the
evening. the morning and the
Sunday editions are regarded
by the Stars ownership Is a
single newspaper. and the rate
is so low that the combination
price is a bargain compared to
that of sirnilar-sized news
papers in other cities.
Shall it be the law that a
seller Of services involving
products of the mind, sucn as
news gathering. cannot set his
own fee for that sale? If he
cannot, then is some Govern
ment commission to Ak the
price, as it does electric light
and power rates9 II this is
done. can it be said that the
governmental body will not
strive also to regulate either
the quantity or the quality Of
the contents of a newspaper
and the price to be charged?
Then there is the matter of
advertising rates. The Kansas
City Star considers it is selling
a single product in its around
the-clock service each day and,
for reasons of economy, feels it
can serve the advertiser best
at a relatively low rate that
gives the advertiser coverage
in all the editions each day
rather than in any one edition.
The right Of a newspaper
publisher to decide what he
shall charge for one segment Of
a newspapers content is as
inviolate as the right Of any
seller of a patented article to
do so.
But the issue raised here is
whether. if the price is too low.
it hurts a competitor, and
whether it is then lawful to
charge such a low price. Since
when is a seller of goods to be

The storm signals have
gone up over the coalition
government of the Republican
President and the Democratic
Congress. They were hoistsd
by Speaker Rayburn and he
isn't fooling.
President Eisenhower pro-
voked the Speaker into public
expression in two ways. One
was by the high moral tone
of his press conference lecture
denouncing Democratic pro-
posals to cut everyone's in
come tax by $40 next year.
The President had obviously
been prepared for a question
about it and he cut loose with
a fervent argument that the
cut would be irresponsible and
infiationary because the budg-
ct is still unbalanced. His own
tax cut last year he defended
as justified even though 1t
unbalanced the budget because
it created greater prosperity.
The news ticker copy about
the Eisenhower attack had
been laid before the Speaker
and he was still simmering
over it when a fresh paragraph
from the press conference hit
him where he lives.
The President was told that
the Speaker was complaining
that the White House did not
keep him properly informed
about their legislative plans
and messages. The President
answered that the Speaker
was an old friend who could
call him UP any time about
anything.

Mr.. Rayburn. who has been
