What Is A newspaper?
BY Rep. Carl Albert, Okla.
Ma jority Leader, u. S. House of Represent a tive

To the layman, newspaper is a sometimes salts
flying, occasionally perplexing. and often exciting
experience To the newspaperman, the American
public must present similar enigma. AS an element
in our society, we view single institution more
fundamental than the press in expressing the diver
gent views arising out of free and open discussion
more formidable in the structurng of public opinion
or more faithful in the execution of its vast respon-
sibilities.
when the repercuSslonS of error be cataStrophc
we must be able to marshall the best thinking of
the best minds and bring it to bear on the problem
hand The functloning of an open democratic society
demands an informed populace. History is replete
with decisions not made made enormously because
the weight of public opinion against them Thus
a newspaper becomes the means of disseminating
information - accurate. factua information to
serve as the basis for reasoned judgment.
This is not to say that newspaper is committed
to total obIectNy. What could be more appropriate
in free society than the expression of honest con-
vicitionS strongly held, No would deny a news
paper editor the citizens privilege to form an opin-
ion the basis of the available facts and argue the
wisdom of his decision. Nor would any responsible
editor deny the citizens right of access to all the
available facts, presented without bias in which to
base his Judgment.
Many factors emerge which affect the news
papers basic function dissemination of Informal
ton. The newspaper has responsibility to the local
community it serves This public service aspect is
familiar to us all in announcement of community
interest and local news and feature stories. More
important. however, Is the service rendered by the
newspaper which recognizes its influence on the
public mind. to stimulate the interest and arouse
the concern of the average citizen in those issues
which are broader than his private world No concept
is more 2ernlane to the of democratic gov
eminent than the proposition that every citizen
shares the responsibility for his government No in
Sttutlon performs greater public service than pre-
pairing the citizen TO fulfill this responsibility.
The supposed inroadS of the ''eectronic media
IN the areas of disseminating information and in
fuencng public opinion have been the subject of
considerable discussion in recent years. There is no
doubt that radio and televSion have profoundly
changed the habits of newS-hungry Americans On

Study Of Port-Tim
Tuxis Launched

The staff of the District
Public Utilities Commission
started an investigation today
to determine whether there are
too many part-t time cab drivers
in Washington.
Joseph Greco, new executive
secretary of the Public Utilities
Commission. said the commits
sion may ask for legislation
to reduce the number of part
time drivers if the investiga-
ton indicates that would be
desirable.
He said there is some reason
to believe that the large num-
Der of time drivers may
be discouraging full-time driv-
ers from staying in the taxi
business. He added that the
result is minimum cab service
when the part-timers are not
working.
Mr.. Greco said that SIS to go
per cent of those who have
applied recently for licenses to
drive cabs have been part
timers.

A $25 million park program
was recommended for Mary
land today by a committee ap-
pointed to draw up a master
plan for parks.
The committee said the rapid
disappearance Of open space
and shore front available to the
public and the increased costs
of land make park develop
ment a nov or never" propo-
Sition.
It said the rapid increase in
population makes expansion of
recreational facilities necessary.
particularly in the Baltimore
and Washington metropolitan
areas in which 80 per cent Of
the States population is con-
centrated."
Baltimore Area PopulOus
The Washington Metro
politan Area-not counting the
the District of Columbia which
also affects Maryland park
usuage-containS 983 square
miles or about 10 per cent of
the States land area, and 22.5
per cent of the States popula-
ton.
The Baltimore Metropolitan
Area consists of 2,261 square
miles or about % per cent of
the land area, and So per cent
of the population.
The first report of the
master plan committee listed
general locations for develop
ment of large regional parks,
smaller recreation areas and a
third classification called "his-
toric Sites" The committee,
headed by Joseph F. Kaylor,
State director of Forests and
Parks, said it will submit de-
tailed plans later.
The committee, appointed
by Gov. Tawes at the request of
the General Assembly, said one
of the major deficiencies is the
lack of development of the
already considerable land
owned by the State. Lack of
park personnel was listed as
one of the handicaps.
Is Regional Parks
Fifteen areas were listed for
development as regional parks.
These included Assateague
Island, one of the few unde-
veloped stretches of ocean
front; Seneca Greek Park in
Montgomery and Frederick
Counties; the Patuxent River
valley running between the
Washington and Baltimore
metropolitan areas; Sandy

Use Race and Reoson,'
Legislator AsksVirqinio

RICHMOND, Feb. S (AP). -
A resolution calling on the
General Assembly to recon-
mend the book, Race and Rea-
son, a Yankee View" to State
education officials for possible
use in the Institutional program
was introduced in the House of
Delegates today. w
DR.. William A. Pennington of
Buckingham offered the reso-
luton with the co-Sponsorship
of a dozen other members of
the House.
The Buckingham physician
legislator said the book by
Carleton Putnam was the re-
suit of anthropological, soci-
illogical and psychological stud
les concluding that Negroes as
a race were inferior mentally
to white persons.
Mr.. Putnam, a New Eng
lander who was graduated from
Princeton and Columbia School
of Law, at one time headed
Chicago & Southern Air Lines
and Delta Air Lines.
DR.. Pennington's resolution
says there is increasing evil
dence that the sciences Of BIZ
ology and anthropology are
being distorted and perverted
to serve the purposes of certain
pressure groups" 1t says Mr..
Putnam's book exposes the
fragrant distortion and perver-
sion of scientific truth"

GNU Hospital Bill Escapes Death
In Committee by Lack of Quorum

approved 10 days ago by a
House District Subcommittee,
would free $2.5 million in Fed
eral grants to build a 100-bed
addition to the George Wash
ington Hospital if the univer-
sity put up an equal amount.
The District would be excused
from its obligation under an
extended Hospital Center Act
to repay third of the Fed
eral share of aid to local hos
pitfalls. IS ,.,...e.,
The House Commerce Com
mittee has completed hearings
on a Federal hospital bill
which would permit, for 10
years, grants of up to $75 mil
lion to assist in construction
of medical and dental teaching
facilities and rehabilitation of
such centers. Scholarships for
medical and dental students
also would be authorized.
Lively Discussion
The District committeeman
talked the George Washington
bill up and down spiritedly
today before the final vote, it
was understood.
Mrs. Weis repeatedly sug-
geSted that a graceful way" to
postpone action would be to re-
late the local bill to the pend
ing Federal legislation. A mo-
ton to put off action came
from Representative Whitener,
Democrat of North Carolina,
it was understood.
Half in jest, Representative
Abernethy, Democrat of Mis-
sisSippi, noted that Congress
could order grants to at least
one hospital in every State.
Members questioned after
the meeting said they did not
believe the George Washington
bill was dead. Some doubted it
could be revived without
leverage" from the Speaker.
Others were understood to
regret the failure to give the
Speaker the courtesy of a
House vote on his own bill.

AFOfficer Diesin Crash
As Plane Avoids Homes

A decision against parachut-
ing and abandoning a plane
over a residential area figured
last night in the death of an
Air Force officer during a
crash-landing attempt at An
drews Air Force Base.
The T-38 jet trainer plane
smashed through several land
ing lights before coming down
1000 feet short of a runway.
1t. Col. Arnold Mullins, 80, of
305 Chapel drive, Annandale,
Va, was elected from the
plane either on contact or
shortly before, and died several
minutes later at the base
hospital.
Pilot of the plane, Col. Her.
bert Rosenthal, A, of 5000
Southridge drive, Mclean, Va,
walked away from the burning
craft uninjured.
Col. Mullins was an informa-
ton officer at the Pentagon.
Col. Rosenthal is assigned to
the Air Force Weapons Systems
Evaluation Group there.
An Andrews spokesman said
the officers were within 25
miles of Andrews flying at
$4,000 feet on the return trip
of a proficiency flight to Scott
Air Force Base near ST. Louis
when the jet engine famed
out.
Rather than abandon the
plane over houses, the officers
decided to shoot for the field.
The plane just missed it's goal,
coming to rest about 900 feet

WILLIAM TEMPLE, the

WILLIAM TEMPLE, the
archbishop of York, encour-
aged him in starting a school
Id Scotland.
-Gordonstoun, a castle on
Moray Firth, in eastern Scot
land, was provided, and the
school was started with 10
pupils.
It has been a very success

than 500 students.
Both masters and pupils
will call him by first name
without reference to his rank
or title" said Mr.. Gutmann.
That's what they did with
his father, who was Prince
Philip of Greece when he ar
rived at the school,"
DR.. Hahn's idea was that
pupils would learn more
about how to get along in
this world If they were not
all from the upper class
union of aristocrats Of birth
and aristocrats of wealth.
Due to the archbishop's
sponsorship, he soon had up
per class pupils. He arranged
for sons of Scottish fisher
men to attend. They did all
right, kept up with the up
per class" men.
He wanted to bring up
leaders. He thought that
scholarship was over-em-
phasized.
DR.. Hahn set a Spartan
regimen, which continues. At
dawn he would lead the boys
in jogging a quarter of a mile
and skipping rope. Then a
cold shower. They made their
own beds. After breakfast
came the long periods of SUI
pervised study, then rugger
football or hockey or cricket.

The
Rambler
Finds
Himself Surprised
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler is sure that
readers frequently encoun-
ter the unexpected in this
column. Today he is sur
prised to find himself writing
about the education Of the
Prince of Wales.
1t all came about when he
met Reinhart B. Gutmann,
the new director of Friend
b ship House, the settlement .
house at 619 D street Sc.
Mr.. Gutmann is a small,
dark, intense man who moves
quickly and talks with an
impeccable British accent.
It has been announced
that in May Prince Charles,
who is Is, will be transferred
from Cheam Preparatory
School in Surrey to the Cor
donStoun school in Scotland.
II was a pupil at Gordons-
toun, a refugee from Nazi
Germany, in 1885 when his
father arrived there" said
Mr.. Gutmann. That sounded
interesting.
Gordonstoun is a relatively
recent addition to the list of
British public schools. AS
every newspaper reader must
know by this time, the Brit
ish public school is a private
school which prepares for
the universities. Many of
them are quite old, started
in the 18th or early 10Th
century. They include such
famous institutions as Eton,
Harrow and Winchester.
Gordonstoun was started
in 1884, with help from high
places, by DR.. Kurt Hahn.
DR.. Hahn was a noted school
teacher. He headed the
Salem school at Baden in
southern Germany. He would
not let his boys join the
Hitler Youth Movement or
give the Nazi salute, so he
had to get out.
