EDITORS GET EARFUL
Press Raked Over Goals
Seen Stressing Crime, Sex Triple
By ISABELLE SHELTON
Star staf Writer

The Nations press got a
rough going over last night
at the Women's National
Press Clubs annual dinner
for editors.
Former Ambassador to
Italy and Congresswoman
Clare Boothe Luce found the
press more interested in
printing crime, sex and
scandal entertainment,
Utilization. amusement and
tripe." than in printing "the
truth about great national
figures, policies and issues"
The preSs's failure to in
form the public better than it
does "iS the evasion of it's
responsibility: its failure to
educate and elevate the pub
lie taste is an abuse of it's
freedom" Mrs. Luce told a
roomful of editors here at
tending the. annual conven-
ton of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors at the
Statler Hotel.
Marya Names. author.
magazine writer and poet,
who described herself as "as
distinct a Democrat" as Mrs.
Luce is a distinguished Re-
publican, denounced the
press for intense partisan
ship" and "often rabid bias"
and for giving the public
"only one side of the issues
that affect them profoundly:
the Republican side"
Mrs. Luce, whose husband
is publisher of Time, Life,
etc, managed to find a lot
she liked about the press, too.
Miss Names liked practically
nothing. Her barbs gener-
ally were much more cauStic.
Miss Names drew greater
applause.
Compared to TV
Comparing the press to
television, which she pointed
out she has been criticizing
pretty unSparingly" for the
past eight years, Miss Names
told the editors:
"Television lives on adver-
tising to an even greater ex-
tent than you do, and since
advertising is big business, it
Is by nature Republican.

find no Pegler-no ODonnell
no David Lawrence" she
continued.
Fortunately for the Ameri-
can public, television will not
tolerate the kind of distor-
ton of fact, the kind of psy-
chotic partisan virulence and
personal peeve-that many
newspapers not only welcome
but encourage"
While television caters
far too much to the lowest
instincts of men there is
one appetite it does not feed
and which the partisan
newspapers of the Nation do:
The appetite for hate-hate
of whatever is different"
Miss Names said.
II do not find on television

scure the fact"
Republican bias" in the
press sis shameful not only
for Democrats-we have sur
vived it before and we will
survive it again-but for the
maturity of our people," Miss
Names declared.
"The same papers who
loudly extol the virtues of
free enterprise and a free
press are consistently failing
to print the facts on which a
people can form a balanced
and independent opinion"
she said. That balanced
and independent opinion is
our only real security as a
Nation"
"Tripe and Cant"
Mrs. Luce charged that
too many members of the
working press uncritically
pass on-even if they do
not personally Swallow-too
much high level Government
and political cant, tripe and
public relations.
There are too many

blatantly strive for publicity
for themselves, on lecture
platforms or political ros-
trumS."
What is wrong with the
American press is what is
in part wrong with American
society,"" Mrs. Luce continued.

The Districts highway pro-

while other plans to improve
transportation are under study.
Such was the position taken

American Society of Civil Engi-
neers. The meeting was held
at the Cosmos Club.
1T is our position" Mr.. Ait

But he added:
We co explicitly take the
view that the highway prnLgan

Docile Negroes
Accept New South
Africa Restrictions

JOHANNESBURG, South AT
RIGA, tR The South African
government appeared today to
have blunted Negro defiance of
its racial policy but there was no
letup in the official breakdown.
The African National Congress
and the Pan Africanist Congress
- the only two Negro political
groups of any note - were banned
for one year The government
acted under emergency legislation
rushed through Parliament after
widespread Negro reaction to the
police killing of p demonstrators
nearly three weeks ago.
The government also called up
more military reservists, although
the Negro stay-home strike was
waning.
The situation throughout the
nation was more nearly normal
than at any time since Negro dem
onstrations against carrying passes
flared into violence three weeks
ago.
Thousands of Negroes who
burned their passes at the height
of the campaign of defiance ap-
piled for new ones. They must
have these internal passports" to
move around or work.
Workers streamed in and out
of Johannesburg and most other
cities Thursday without trouble.
Most Negroes appeared to be
working in disregard of the cam
paign of militant leaders to keep
them at home until government
repealed the pass law.
But the calm that prevailed over
the nation was uneasy.
With most of their leaders
jailed, the Negroes so far accepted
with outward docility the revival
of the pass law, which was sus-
pended temporarily.

Cost-of-Living

SEATTLE, Up - Studies will be
