Day of Freedom

Freedom of the press in the United
States was guaranteed in the First
Amendment to our Constitution. 1t has
survived all challenge and, beyond queS-
ton, has been one of the foundation
stones of our national independence
and strength. 1t has not had as long
or uniform tradition in many of our
neighboring countries of the Western.
Hemisphere, but progress toward the
goal has been marked in recent years.
In 1858, the Inter american Press ASSo-
citation designated June as Freedom
Of the Press Day." and so there is reason
now to note with qualification that
during the past IL months Argentina,
Venezuela and Colombia have joined
those nations where this freedom is
newly or once more recognized. In some
other lands to the south, as elsewhere,
the barriers are still in place or the
threats are ominouS The net change,
however, is toward the good side and
the determination to enlarge the area of
enlightenment is strengthened thereby.

Big Shoes to Fin

Personality specialists, who some
times oversimplify human nature to an
outrageous degree, probably would say Of
Lewis L. Strauss that he has been cursed,
as chairman of the Atomic Energy Com
mission, with an indefinable quality that
has rubbed certain important people
the wrong way. Presumably, but quite
vaguely, able and earnest Americans
like Senator Anderson and former Acc
Commissioner Murray would agree with
this assessment of the man. So, too,
would those numerous less distinguished
critics who have made sort of mean
with recurrent outbursts of articulate
ignorance, in both words and pictures.
Yet, whatever may be said of his
personality in the Office, there can be
no doubt that Mr.. Strauss has rendered
outstanding service. to our country as
head of the Acc, and also in his So
called second-hat role as special adviser
to the President on nuclear affairs. I'm
fortunately, however, now that he has
declined Mr.. Eisenhower'S offer to re-
nominate him for another five-year
term as chairman, his more incorporate
critics have made point of trying to
belittle him with talk about such things
as his association with the ill-conceived
Dixon Yates power contract, his past
emphasis on the need for strict security
restrictions regardless of "the peoples
right to know" and his stubborn insist
ence that there should be no Suspen-
sion of American atomic-hydrogen tests
without adequate safeguards in the form
OF an international policing system eff
fective enough to cope with the dan
ger of clandestine Soviet violations and
evaSions But this criticism does not
hold up very well under inspection.
Nothing in the Dixon-Yates investiga-
ton, for example, can be cited to cast
doubt on Mr.. Strauss probity. AS for his
alleged addiction to excessive secrecy,
the record will show that the commits
sion, under his leadership, has carried
Internationally and internationally
tremendous release of once-classified
information. Finally, insofar as test
ing ban is concerned, even the Russians
themselves have grudgingly conceded
that his views are sufficiently meritori-
Gus to warrant special study by tech
nical experts. -
Further, now that he is preparing
to leave the Acc at the end of the
month, Mr.. Strauss deserves special
commentator for such contributions
as the following: ~ AS one of the
commissions pioneer members, from
1946 to 1850, he initiated our all-impor-
tant monitoring system for detecting
nuclear detonations in Russia and other
lands; (2) he was a prime mover for
action to arm the United States with
the hydrogen bomb; and (3) no Amer
lean has done more, and few nearly so
much, to harness the atom for peace
throughout the globe. In short, despite
his malignerS, and irrespective of what
some may regard as his personality fail
ings, he has done superb job, and the
Nation is indebted to him for it. John
McCone, or whoever else may be his
successor, certainly will have very big
shoes to fill.

Changing the Flag

The long-suffering Ameri-
can taxpayer is about to be
taken for another wasteful
tax ride.
Worse still his private funds
are also threatened by the
current unrealistic attitude Of
Congress. I am speaking
about the Alaska bill. Maybe
I'm a, fool to bring this up;
maybe I would be smarter to
go out and start a flag COM
pany.
Has anyone bothered to
think of the cost to Mr.. and
Mrs. John @. Public in flags
alone? Obviously not; GER
tainly not the elected repre-
sentatives of the people.
Everyone with an ounce of
sense knows that in the near
future Alaska will be granted
statehood and that Hawaii
will follow in short order.
Think of the utter waste
Of buying new flags this year
with 40 stars and going
through the whole process
next year or even five years
from now for so stars.
Let 'em both in at the same
time or not at all. Let's save
a buck once, just once, please.

Tribute to Librarian

Those Of us in the library
profession who knew Phil
Temple appreciated your
warm notice on his passing.
The exigencies Of his new
post were too real, I think,
for him to be stamped as an
"ex-university librarian" In
a technical milieu which had
suddenly claimed him, he was
all the more active and exact,
especially as he had to work
from scratch.
What endeared him to all
of us, though, was his canny
humor when it came to shar-
ing his experience (even at
the height of his illnesS)
With the expansive modesty
so natural to him, he would
enlighten us on the complexi-
ties peculiar to library work.
We never did taste the med

Not Mad at ANYBODY

Reports are reaching Washington
that most of the Nations farmers who
were demanding the political scalp of
Secretary of Agriculture Benson few
months ago are feeling much less blood
thirsty. The explanation offered is a
simple one.
Total farm income for the first
quarter of 1858 showed an increase of
II per cent above the comparable level
in 1857, running counter to the recess
sion trend in most other SegmentS of the
national economy. And in some lines Of
farming there has been an even sharper
improvement in recent weeks. For ex-
ample, hog and cattle raisers are re-
ported getting about rs per cent more
for their animals than they did a year
ago-while feeding costs remain about
the same. The price support level on
1858 wheat is down IL per cent, but
the Kansas crop-the big one-is more
than double its 1857 volume.
Not surprisingly, some Of the Re
publican congressman who were be-
seeching the administration to fire Mr..
Benson are now rejecting the more
relaxed attitude of their constituents.
Even those who are not ready to credit
the Benson policies directly for the
improvement are being philosophical.

"the farmers are not mad at anybody"
1t is pleasant, for a change, to read
about people who are not mad at any
body. And it will be interesting to see
how the farmers, II they are still not
mad, cast their votes next November.
