SECOND BLOT Our newspapers must be the auditors of government. Anything that compromises their independence, their freedom to evaluate and to criticize, their reputation for complete in- tegrity and fairness threatens, not only the press, but the system of free government under which we live. So said the directors of the American Society of Newspaper Editors the other day, criticizing 7llinols newspapermen who were on the State payroll. It is a statement of self-evident fact. Still there are seven editors of weekly newspapers down in Georgia who disagree with the self-evidence. These are the seven editors who, the Atlanta Journal has disclosed, have been put on the payroll of red- gallused Governor Herman Talmadge. They are men who have skipped the biblical injunction that no man can serve two masters; they have taken unto them- selves instead that other injunction, witheringly sar- castic, that it’s smart to make friends with the mam- seven seem to have suffered such a lapse of memory. But it's encouraging, too, that large segments of the press retain a firm grip on both right and obliga- tion. The Illinois scandals were uncovered by report- ers; so were the Georgia scandals. Come to think of it, the situation may not be too bad. Every working journalist has to be ashamed that his fellows in two States were willing to risk the blur- ring of objectivity by taking State largesse. But he and every other American with him can be glad that the disease has been localized in two States. So long as the press stays self-critical, so long as newspaper- men ferret out the sins of newspapermen, no one need worry too much. It's when stories like that from At- lanta are there but aren't reported that everyone will have to begin to worry. German Press (Washington Post) Abolition of the Property Control Division of United States Military Government in Germany on June 30 brings to the fore a new, though apparently less formidable, danger to the postwar independent press in Germany. We commented last fall on the conflict in occupation policies that threatened to put the new democratic papers into the hands of the old Nazi owners of the printing plants. The new situation arises out of the fact that in many cases the present publishers concluded their lease contracts with property custodians appointed by Military Gov- ernment. With the disappearance of the Property Control Division, one party to these contracts disap- pears. The independent publishers fear that their | contracts will be contested by the old plant owners, who will get sympathetic hearing in German courts. If this should happen, it would be the end of the struggling free press in Germany and a blow to our efforts to reorient the Germans toward an appreciation of the values of an independent and democratic press. The danger goes far ‘beyond the interests of news- paper publishers. If German courts were permitted to question and invalidate contracts and commitments made under Military Government, the entire fabric of Ioccupmion authority would collapse. The State De- partment, somewhat tardily, now has the question under active study among its legal experts and hopes soon to come up with an opinion. We hope there will cAnnot question the actions of Military Government. Everybody likes winter in the summer, and summer in the winter. -It's a pity arrangements cannot be made to have these two seasons exchange places.— Cincin- nati Enquirer. Now, if Juneau could only have a fine summer next winter, all would be well. be no further delay in deciding that German courts! mon of iniquity. It's strange that some newspapermen who make much of the freedom of the press forget the responsi- bility that goes with freedom. Certainly the Georgia Paul Robeson is telling the Russians, “I come irom ithe America of Wallace."—Press report. The America of whom? The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON | (Continued from Page 1) | extreme winter and severe svring: drought had deswioyed crops and! most of the herds of the area. Hun- dreds have died of hunger. To the outrage of American authorities, the ‘ Iranian government has done very | little to ameliorate the tragic situa- | tion. | In one notorious instance, even| that little was looted for personal | gains. 4 B The military commander of the; district diverted a 400-ton shipment of relief grain to private traders and pocketed the proceeds. U. 8. officials are profoundly con- cerned about the explosive Azer- baijan situation because it plays squarely into Communist hands. Even under normal conditions, the historic area is one of the critical tinderboxes of the world. Azerbaijan was occupied for several years by the Red Army, which built a num- ber of roads and made strenuous efforts to woo the tribesmen. Large Red combat patrols still make oc- casional penetrations. Also, Russian agents abound, and are making the most of the Iranian government's incompetence, neglect and corrup- tion. Douglas’ itinerary included a visit to Tabriz, capital of Azerbaijan. The day beiore he was to fly there, he had lunch with the Shah. The young ruler talked a glowing line of reform and national development, but he froze up when Douglas mentioned casually his impending trip to Tabriz Two hours later, the U. S. Em- bassy was officially notified that the Shah had barred Douglas from flying to Azerbaijan. Requests for an explanation for this extraordinary action brought the reply, “evil reports are emanat- ing frem there. The reports are unfavorable to the Shah and the government.” Note: Although receiving huge oil royalties, the Iranian govern- ment tried to shake down the U.S. for 200,000 bushels of free grain for famine relief. MIRACLE There is something new under the sun! John L. Lewis and Interior Sec- retary Julius Krug are in harmon- jous agreement on the bill for more stringent mine-safety regulations and enforcement The measure was introduced by Senator Matt Neely, D., W. Va. In the past Lewis has been a sulphur- ous critic of Krug and James Boyd, director of the U. S. Bureau of Mines. They aided Neely in drafting the bill, and because of this, there was uncertainty as to Lewis’ attitude. But he has given his blessing. Despite this unity, however, the legislation has made little headway. Neely has complained to Demo- cratic floor leaders about this. But, overwhelmed by a backlog of major priority measures, they have given him no assurance when his bill would be reached. Lest outlook is not until next session. 'TED JONES, T1 DIES " ATST.
