FLOWER GARDEN PILFERING Many reports have been received by The Empire rearding pilfering of Juneau flower gardens and we can only say to those who are doing this, “Shame on you.” At a recent meeting of the Juneau Garden Club announcement was made that many flower gardens had been entered and since then many others have called stating flowers have been stolen, stalks dam- aged and in several incidents plants pulled up and carried away. The latest report is made by Mrs. Ernest Gruening who reports tulips were stolen from the Governor's Home gardens during the absence of the family on a trip to the States.

The State Department, which has recommended the admissions of two more Communist reporters representing Pravda, evidently does not agree that the best way to prevent Soviet { reporters from distorting reports on current political happenings is to deprive them of ss to first- hand information. Exclusion from the press galleries of all Communist reporters, as a matter of policy would give them an excuse for sending false reports on the ground of inadequate information Communist reporters who are permitted to enjoy all the privileges accorded American reporters will at least be impressed with the advantages of our system of unrestricted news gathering and uncensored transmission of ne To exclude them from the press remain on the necessity regardless of the personal such a entails.
