Managed News VS.. Deception

in Cuba. It was fatty stated
that the decision was against
any use Of military forces.
Yet, within a few days, q
mobilization was ordered. and
it has since been disclosed
that as early as october l6
the administration had con-
firmed its suspicious about
the presence Of offensive"
missiles In Cuba. The Presi-
dent didn't go on television to
announce this until october
%.
Meantime. many Of the
news stories and magazine
articles written as a result
Of these "briefing" confer
ences with the press gave the
public a totally misleading
impression. What the public
read was that no action was
being contemplated beyond
economic pressure and that
no measures would be taken
to rid Cuba Of Soviet arma-
ment.
All this turned out in a
few days not to be true.
Many excuses have been
heard ever since. One Is that
the high officials at the
"briefing" conferences didn't
know about the final proof
concerning the missile bases
which had been obtained
through air surveillance. AM
other explanation is that the
President kept his counsels
to a few, and some Of the
other officials were not told
what was going on.
The net effect was never
theless to permit those who
attended the "briefing" ses-
sions TO tell the American
people things which were not
true concerning the Govern
ment's intentions. Many eiti-
zens later wrote letters 10
the news publications accus-
ing them Of having falsified
the facts and stating that
they had lost confidence in
those publications.
Maybe the whole thing
was Just q bungle from top
TO bottom on the part Of
administration officials. Per-

policy would be given even

DAVID LAWRENCE

Much Of the discussion
lately about managed news"
is an exercise in semantics.
The word managed" can be
variously interpreted as a
proper as we'll as an improp-
er use Of information that is
given to the public.
Every administration. just
like every private business,
has a right TO put its best
foot forward-to write its
own statements and declara-
tons in such words and
phrases as will make the
most favorable impression on
the people. For years every
administration has had speci-
alists in its various depart
ments to handle press rela-
tions.
Nobody would object to
managed news" II 1t merely
means the issuance of state
ments and reports by the
Government which point
with pride" to an administra-
tons achievements or extol
the virtues Of policies 1t
hopes to fulfill.
What is Objectionable is
something that can be refer
red to unequivocally as de-
ception or untruth. Presi-
dent Eisenhower was blamed
by Democratic partisans for
having told the truth about
the U-2 incident in 1860.
Members of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee in
timated afterwards that he
should have withheld the
truth. But Mr.. Eisenhower, in
an authorized quotation that
appears in a book by his one
time Secretary Of Commerce,
Lewis Strauss, said:
THE most powerful weapon
we have-indeed. the most
powerful weapon that any
people can hayes truth. II
we ever find ourselves in q
position where we cannot
tell the truth. or where we
feel that the telling will in
jure US. we will have sacri-
feed that most powerful
weapon"
Governments do not need
to publish everything they
know. The real question is
whether, when they talk to
the public. they are revealing
all Of the truth or none Of the
truth. The American people
are accustomed to political
exaggerations and also to the
obvious propaganda in off,
cial statements. This type Of

Incomplete Reports Called Not as Bad
As Those That Give Wrong Impression


publicity may not be relished,
but the majority Of the peo-
pie accept 1t as a custom in
political government.
What is considered rep
rehensible, however, is an
attempt by any administra-
ton deliberately to deceive
the American people. Some
times this is done not by any
misstatement but by careful
manipulation Of the news In
such a way as to produce an
impression that really is not
true.
The whole controversy
about managed news" arose
In connection with the crisis
over the military buildup in
Cuba last Autumn. For reas-
ons Of its own, the admin
istration did not wish to
make public what 1t knew.
This Is understandable. But
when high officials of the
administration assemble and
talk to a group Of 500 edi-
tors, reporters and broad
casters from 40 States in q
BACKGROUND briefing," the
newsmen naturally believe
they are being given the
whole truth. Such a brief
ing" took place here on Oc-
tober IS.
Under the rules Of these
conferences, nobody is quoted
directly. A high official of
the Government did, however.
assure the press that the So
Wet equipment in Cuba was
totally defensive in charac-
ter and that the threat In
Cuba was not a military
threat to the hemisphere but
one Of subversion. The news
men were also told that inva-
sion and blockade should be
considered as one and had
been ruled out, because ships
couldn't be stopped under the
threat Of force without get
ting into q war-and q big
one. The whole tenor Of these
remarks left the reporters
with the feeling that the
United States intended to take
no action beyond stepping up
surveillance and trying to
influence international traf-
fic involving Cuba.
Other officials who COM
mented on the Cuban situa-
ton indicated that the United
States was checkmated and
was not planning to do any
thing about the presence Of
Soviet armament and troops

When John F. Kennedy
was campaigning for Presi-

One set were physical jump

went into a quivering public
dance, at sight Of the future
Presidents face, at every
whistle stop and airstrip
landing. They we're wild about
Mr.. Kennedy-or wildly ex-
cited by his youth and good
looks.
The other set of Jumpers
did not leap up and down
physically; they only vibrated
emotionally, like piano wires
in a high wind. These were
the Democratic ultra-liberals,
the knee = jerk liberals as
termed by this columnist
many years ago. Though most
of these had been cultist fol-
lowers OF Mr.. Kennedy's rival

into the Kennedy camp after
the Democratic convention.
And instantly they became

Assistant Secretary Of De-
tense Arthur Sylvester is not
the most tactful official in
Washington, but he often
comes out with some blunt,
II untimely. truths. Such
truths may miss their mark,
as they did in the case Of his
recent observations about the
Mcclellan committee, but
still contain the seeds Of
wisdom.
Mr.. Sylvester once said
that the Defense Department
uses the dissemination Of
news. in times of great stress,
as a part Of its "weaponry."
This was a truth which news
media and the public would
probably have accepted in
silence, in fact, had accepted
until Mr.. Sylvester's compul-
sion for candor overcame
him.
1t Is somewhat the same
with a more recent Sylvester
remark. He observed that 1t
Is difficult to get q judicial
rendering on large matters
affecting defense spending
from a congressional COM
mittee composed Of various
Senators with State self-in-
terest in where the contract
goes" Mr.. Sylvester's remark
was untimely, and he apollo
gized for 1t, having again
fallen victim to candor in the
heat of the controversy over
q x-billion-dollar defense
contract let by his boss, Sec
Rotary Of Defense Mcnamara.
Leaving the Mcclellan
committee out Of it. there
was wisdom in Mr.. Sylvester's
basic analysis. Defense con-
tracts are so large, they have
such a big economic impact,
they are fought for so hard
by political and private in
terests that they get involved
In the political competition
of various States and areas.
In such an atmosphere, 1t
would not be unheard Of
that nationality and fairness
gave way to political expe-
diency, or that the national
interest might be subordi-
mated to State and regional
interests.
This is one, but only one,
compelling reason why Con-
gress, the President. and the
leading industrial leaders
have never been able to face
squarely the problems raised
by the shocking increase in
national security costs and Of
space exploration.
Republican leaders have
been talking lately a good
deal OF hopeful nonsense
about cutting Government
spending without coming near
10 the heart Of the prob
lem. The truth is that we
are In the 500 billion-a-year
spending spiral, owing TO the
costs Of national security and
its component parts. including
foreign aid, and of the race

questions about expenditures
IN these fields are found
guilty without trial OF rel
