Fall of Sam Neua
Father Bouchard gave one
of the first impartial accounts
of the fall of Sam Neua. This
was his report:
The Pathet Lao stepped up
attacks on Sam Neua eight
days before its fall. They cap
tured a hill dominating the
city and its airstrip.
There were not many cas-
ualties. The Pathet Lao con-
centrated it's fire on the army
camp and did not shell the city
indiscriminately.
The tempo of attacks in
creased in the final 48 hours.
The Sam Neua garrison
started evacuating the bastion
Wednesday morning, a few
hours before the Pathet Lao
poured in.
Two hours after the mis-
sionaries escaped, the Pathet
Lao were in the city and the
escape route taken by the
Bouchard group and the gar
rison was under heavy mortar
fire.

Satellite AlOft

HOUSTON, Tex, Up - Sen.
Lyndon johnson said Thursday
the United States on May will
attempt to launch a communica-
tons satellite which, when fully
developed, will completely revo-
lutionize the methods of talking
over great distances.
In a speech prepared for the
opening session of the State
Junior Chamber of Commerce
convention, johnson said the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Agency would announce plans
for satellite Echo in Washington.
"This aluminium sphere, 100
feet in diameter, is designed to
allow radio waves to be reflected
or bounced from its surface back
to earth, thus spanning heretofore
impossible distances" johnson
said.
The satellite will be launched
from Cape Canaveral in debated
form. The aluminium sphere will
be folded into a magnesium con-
tainer 261s inches in diameter. 1t
will be launched by a three-stage
Delta rocket consisting of a Thor
IRBM first stage, and upper stages
developed initially for the Van
guard satellite program.
Pockets of air in the sphere
will cause it to start to initiate
after it is elected from the con-
tainer into the vacuum of space.

Seattle Fisherman Charged
With Bilking Victims on
Alaska Fishing Schemes

SEATTLE, Up = A 40-year-old
fisherman, accused of bilking two
out-of-towners out of $4,000 in an
Alaska fishing scheme and then
burning a 148-foot wooden fish
boat for insurance, was held here
Thursday.
William Reed Nelson, of Seattle,
was arrested Wednesday after a
secret indictment had been re-
turned against him by federal
grand jury Bond was set at $4,000.
Nelson is charged in the six
count indictment with wilfully
burning the fishing vessel Jamene
here last May l to collect on the
$4,000 insurance. 4, Nelson was
part-owner.
He also is charged with fraud
in obtaining $4,000 from Meyer
Wihkleman of Portland and Men
del Lieberman of Los Angeles for
fishing venture in Alaska.
The indictment accuses Nelson
of falsely representing himself to
the two men as the owner of the
Jamene and the Carmar Trading
Co., a Hawaiian concern which
owns the fishboat Penaco. He pro-
posed using the two vessels in
Alaska.
The U. S. Attorneys office said
Nelson burned the Jamene after

Trumon's Quick Tongue

Former President Truman has
quick tongue and does not often
fall back on a no comment" no
matter how controversial the sub
ject matter. This endears him
to a great section of the public
and to reporters in particular.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Truman has

thsn-courageous 1--WE been mis-
quoted" after his frankness has
provoked storm of opposition.
The latest instance involved the
second controversial remark he
has made concerning Negro lunch
counter sit-in demonstrations. A
couple weeks ago he said he
would throw out of his store
any one who tried to disrupt busi-
ness there. He advised the Ne
groes to behave" And the ex-
haberdasher did not retract word
when an NAACP official wired him
in protest.
But last week it was different.
Asked at a news conference about
the demonstrations in the South,
Mr.. Truman was quoted-and
tape recording backed it up-aS
saying: Il don't think they're all
students. I think this was engi-
neered by the Communists"

suggestion that Reds were in

tested the Truman statement, the
former President, while he did
not directly deny he had made
the statements attributed to him.

allegations that there were Com
munists in the Federal Govern
ment in the 1940s with derisive

was proven wrong. Now, he has
opened himself to "red herring"
charge despite his "misquoted"
plea.

many administration leaders and
some Democrats have had for
months: That there is little polit-
ical hay to be found in criticizing
the military budget and policies.
But while political attacks in
this area have slowed down, the
retired generals are still giving the
Pentagon a going over. On We'd
nesday, Maj. Gen. John B. Me-
dariS who, with DR.. Wernher Won
Braun, directed the Army'S sue
cessful missile and space efforts,
blasted what he called our lop-
sided overemphasis on mass de-
struction weapons. CThe Air Force
disagrees; the Navy agreeS.)
Assailing the numbers racket"
of piling up huge stocks of nuclear
bombs and missiles, he cited as
conservative an estimate by a
prominent Senator that the
United States now has a reserve
OF weapons which represents "the
equivalent of 10 tons of TINT for
every man, woman and child on
earth"
For our strategic deterrent force
he made this eminently sensible
suggestion: Concentrate on build
ing feet of PolariS missile sub
marines and a very reasonable"
number of land-based ICBMs.
This would fill the country's total
need for such weapons, in his
opinion.
In addition, Gen. Medaris ar
gued that the United States
should push the Nike-Zeus anti
missile system, organize a real

lost. Greater attention is then
won by the newspaper which as
sures its readers that nothing of
any consequence has happened.
won't pursue the paradox further
but I should like to insist that the
best journalism depends not
upon the choice of typeface but
upon the choice and placing of
words.
What we absorb and remember
is the accuracy Of observation, the
conciseneSs of style and the origi-
nality of the thought expressed.
Does there exist an anthology of
great journalism in the English
language? If there is not, that
would be a project worth consid-
ering. 1t would be a book from
which the young journalist would
have much to learn.
And what is the main thing to
learn? For the new reporter I
would suggest that the first lesson
is a negative one. He believes ini-
TALLY that there is such a thing
as literature; something to which
he was perhaps exposed at school,
and something he has carefully
avoided since.
Literature means Shakespeare,
Wordsworth, Walt Whitman and
T. S. Eliot; comprising books which
are to be mentioned with rever-
ence but left on the shelf. Con-
trasted with literature in his mind
is journalism, something entirely
different. Journalism means Time
Magazine, Readers Digest and the
New York Times, Esquire, Playboy
and the Whatsitville Chronicle.
Now, in journalistic style the
first lesson, surely, is this: That
the writer's art is always the same.
Whether in writing books or ar
ticles, the writer tries to convey
his knowledge or express his ideas
with lucidity, brevity, precision,
energy and grace. He will adjust
his style to his public of the mo-
ment and to the space available;
but what of that? The adjustment
is of small significance. am both
an author and a journalist and
write in much the same style for
both publishers and editors.
The QuoIity Of Teachers
There was a period in my life,
incidentally, when I wrote syndi-
Gated short stories for the London
Evening star., 1960-04-24

evening and the provincial press.
The stories had to be exactly l.75O
or l,2OO words long and were none
the worse, I daresay, for having to
Mt the column inches allotted in
advance. They earned me about
$40 each. I should now expect
rather more but the papers would
probably have no room for them
anyway. They would be crowded
out Of the Evening Standard by
such stuff as the serialized version
of my recent book, The Law and
the Profits" not as yet published
In Britain in any other form.
If I have had any success as
author and journalist, much of it
is due, think, to a quality which
my teachers at school were slow
to appreciate; a certain stupidity
over learning things. The result
has been that I am the despair of
the clever people at Harvard. Re-
peated efforts on my part to un-
derstand the politics of the United
States have left me as bewildered
and confused as ever. But these
my mental limitations of which
my rivals are so conscious, and my
friends more conscious still, bring
with them one advantage. If can
once understand a Subject-as re-
Gently I have tried to understand
taxation-I can explain it to other
people. For the very clever. to
whom the subject has always been
childishly simple, this is not per-
hapS so easy a task. Among the
more pompous it is not always
thought desirable that this or any
other subject should be explained
at all. But I favor the lucid ex-
planation and have suspected,
sometimes, that the good journal
ist should not be too obviously
smart.
So much for the first lesson in
Journalistic style. Ephemeral lit
erature may still be literature and
should be governed by much the
same rules. 1t must explain or con-
vince, using much the same tech
nlque as used and sometimes in
vented by the great authors of the
past. But what are we to do with
the newspapers in which no at
tempt is made to use our language
effectively? They are many and I
could give examples. Instead, let
me suggest remedy. Could not
some national newspaper or peri
odical publish a regular column in
which the worst examples of bad
journalism might be publicly ex-
posed? Such a column, assembling
all the split infinitives and double
negatives, all the mixed metaphors
and labored antiquities, would do
more for journalism than any
number of grammar textbooks or
professional eXhortations. What
we need is the ounces cap, care
fully and Visibly applied. I feel
tempted to edit such a column
myself, having collected some ex-
ampleS for the first number. Such
a pillory or ounces cap, with an
annual prize for the newspaper
which has not been named in the
previous year would do more than
can all the universities put to-
gether. Why don't we give it a
trial?
