At celebrating the 50th anniversary of the formation of”their gorup, mem- bers of the American Bogksellers Association probed the effects of television on. their. bushineses. They showed particular concern over what TV was :doing to children’s reading Pabits.'Two authorities in the field agreed that television itself was not necessarily dam- aging to children, but the qualities of its programs were. This seems ‘to us like saying “That bottle of poison over there won't hurt you if you don’t drink any of it.” their recent convention, Television, being the youngest and the least de- veloped of all the mass media, still has to make up its mind as to its ultimate -aims. Right now it is in the stage chiefly of being entertainment — or trying to be. It has scarcely begun to realize its potenitialities as a cultural medium; that is, as an instrument for raising the standards of taste rather than for lowering them. That it should be the object of agitation on munication—radio, the movies and the, printed word can easily be understood THE MUKLUK TELEGRAPH Volume 1, Number 1, of Alaska’s newest newspaper has reached the desk of The Empire through the kind- ness of Nome's St or Charles D. Jones, The new paper is “The Mukluk Telegraph,” the Arctic’s Greatest Newspaper, published in Kotzeblie, Alaska. by the Aero Trading and News Service. To the publishers of The Mukluk Telegraph, The Empire extends good wishes and congratulations.

The only possible conclusion to be drawn from is that the Soviet Union intends to stick by its guns on the question of Natjonalist China. Ik is more than likely, also, that Trygve Lie, the General Sec- retary of the United Nations, was apprised of this | fact on his recent visit to Moscow.

So far the United States has made no commitments one way or the other. Conflicting Stories Partially conflicting stories as to why we were caught off base in Korea were given the Senate ap- propriations committee this week. Secretaries Achson and Johnson admitted we had been caught nap- ping, but Adm. Roscoe Hillen- koetter, chief of the central intel- ligence agency, read two reports to the senators, one dated as late as June 20, showing that his in- telligence agents had given a gen- eral warning. When Acheson and Johnson ap- peared before the Senate committee in a secret session, Ferguson of Michigan asked both point blank whether they had received any word of the impending attack. Both said they had not “It was a complete surprise,” Secretary Johnson replied, and hinted that central intelligence was to blame. Both men told the senators they knew that the North Korean border was restive, but said the actual invasion had taken them completely by surprise. “Why wasn’t central intelligence on the job?” Senator Bridges, New Hampshire Republican, broke in. They get = —— dollars from What are they doing (Bridges mentioned the exact amount voted for central in- telligence, but later withdrew the figure as secret.) Secretary Johnson shrugged his choulders. “You'll have to ask Ad- miral Hillenkoetter,” he said. Secret Reports The admiral was promptly sum- moned to appear before the Sentae committee in closed-door session at 3 pm. However, he did not ap- pear, Later, it developed that he had been called to the White House. At 4 p.m., however, he arrived be- fore the senators bringing two sec- ret reports warning of possible at- tacks on Korea. One was dated August 1949 and told of continuing activity along the border. The second was dated June 20, 1950 and told in detail of increasing border incidents, in- cluding a concentration of 65,000 to 75,000 Communist troops. These troops, according to report, were well equipped, with artillery, tanks, guns and ammunition of the type which the Japanese army surren- dered to Russia. There were also a total of 195 planes, all late Russ- ian models. When questioned by senators, Admiral Hillenkoetter admitted he could not forecast the date of a border invasiom. “Sif¥miéHés along to | He is quite content \ Note—a series of reports on | Korean unrest and border activity \had actually reached the State | Department some time ago and iAmL‘ai\indur John Muccio, acting on them, made a special trip to Washington to obtain extra mili itary supplies.
