Alaska Newspapers, Pourth Avenue Bide ‘HAHVFJ Sea b JAMES PRIMAVERA The untimely passing of James Primavera, for many years the head of The Empire’s mechanical department is deeply regretted by his fellow employees who have had the pleasure of working with him and enjoying his friendship for the last 16 years “Jimmy" was all that a good printer He knew the “game.” He knew the intricate machin- ery that goes to make up a newspaper plant intimately and was an artist of one of the most skilled professi His death leaves a big gap in The Empire's staff because printers of “Jimmy’s” skill are few, and his passing at the heighth of his skill and at the prime | of manhood is one of those tragedies that is impossible to understand HOMES FOR TEACHERS Seems to us the government would be supplying a much more vital need if it wers building homes for school teachers in Juneau instead of homes for war workers.

Aside from eed, freedom of the press is closely tied in ndamental principles for which this Nation Indeed, the only thing which justi- ; the price we have paid for victory more than a million casualities have been counted to date—is the hope of developing the kind of world civilization in which freedom of the pres will be taken for granted The President says that all representatives press, regardless of their nationality or origin, shall have free and equal access to the news of this country. That, of course, is the policy he would like to see adopted elsewhere. Tt is such a policy that the American delegation was aiming at when it in- duead the Potsdam conference to express confidence that the return of peace would bring about freedom of reporting in the liberated countries where it has | been denied. So certain are Mr. Truman and Sec- retary of State Byrnes of the efficacy of free reporting that they would rather have unhampered represen- tatives of the press observe the postwar elections in |the liberated countries than official observers. It would be foolish to deny that adherence to this policy is of great importance to newspapers and their reporters abroad. Nor do we attempt to minimize the interest of the American public in getting accurate reports on what is happening in other parts of the world. Yet both of these factors are overshadowed by the intimate relation between freedom of the press | in Europe and the future of that continent itself. The simple truth is that democracy cannot sink new roots there— much less grow and flourish—unless the peoples are free to express and record their wishes, hopes, I beliefs and aspirations without fear of dire conse- The to as over th must glad to see Light is e our p: of the 5. | quences. More than 100 years ago Alexis de Tocqueville said, in his great work, Democracy in Amer that “the press is the chief democratic instrument of freedom’ that personal servitude mot be complete if the is free.” Today thesz are old and hoary truths. | That is one reason why there is danger of minimizing ‘l.hmr significance. In point of fact these truths are |infinitely more important than they were in Tocque- ville'’s day; for radar, self-propelled missiles and | atomic bombs have made it imperative for all people | who have an interest in their self-preservation to parts of the world has acquired a great new responsibility nity abreast of developments in the realm of nce as well as that of politics. It is well to rec e at the very outset of the new era upon which we are embarking that denial to the press of the opportunity to meet this obligation will mer not only the spread of democracy but also maintenance of peac b: | The world p. to keep huma the The Washington Merry - Go-Round /C(mtmucd Jrom Pagr One) his place. Forrestal called Denfeld in, showed him the memo. “What have you got to say about that?” Forrestal asked with a grin. #Nothing,” replied Admiral Den- feld. Whereupon, Forrestal ately appointed Denfeld Chief the Bureau of Personnel. This, m<! cidentally, is not the first time Forrestal has overridden Admiral| King recently. | Admiral Denfeld, however, willl have a hard time changing the| Navy's discharge system materially| as lmlg as and | other Annapolis policies prevail Inside fact is that the Ju;mn.w»f surrender caught Admiral King with four different discharge plans immedi- of in his desk. He had done nothing @ about any of them. One plan would not have discharged any man from the Navy until six months after V-J Day. It was rejected by retary Forrestal as completely adequate | In King’s much-ballyhooed sec-| ond report, “U. S. Navy at War” he went on record very clearly, regarding discharges g | “For more than a year,” he said on page 44, “we have worked on demobilization methods and have completed tentative plans. We are censidering priority for severance and intend when the time comes to give due consideration to length of service, service outside the con- tinental limits, combat service parenthood.” That report was dated March 27, 1945, but apparently King forgot all about it. For demobilization plans were still a jumble on V-J Day. However the men who fought in the Pacific have not for- gotten it, and many them are blazing mad that his promises, pecially regarding combat and parenthood, have not kept in- of of been * *_3 BIG PEACETIME NAVY While the Navy's original di charge system has now been modi- fied to “give one-fourth of a point per month for duty, thousands of men still consider it inadequate, still feel it is designed to force men to remain in a big peace-time Navy. r They also point out that the vised plan still has plenty of jc For instance, commander Keep any man for 120 days if says he needs him that months can easily s by the he gets through the separation center.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS Autumn business now should show great impetus. History will this as a most extraordinary year and 1946 will demonstrate how much has been learned regarding trade and commerce. NATIONAL ISSUES There will be more awareness of menaces to health and the nation will pay great attention to physical well-being. This should increase efforts to curb vice in all its forms.
