THOUGHT CONTROL We learn from Editor & Publisher, top newspaper of the recent “press conference” in state officials for an all-day discussion of the The conference at Oregon's capital was sponsored | by the newsmen's section of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association. Some 50 Oregon state officials represented nearly every major department of government. Few punches were pulled during the discussion according to the report. This editorial commment on the session between newsmen and government officials is from Editor- Publisher Charles A. Sprague, himself a former gov- ernor of Oregon, in an Oregon Statesman editorial that hailed the meeting as a good health antidote to the growing tendency among officials to throttle unfavorable publiciy: “Frequently,” the editorial said, top men who withhold news, but the minor char- acters who jealously guard their offices. These indi- viduals, knowing that the information they have is public property, will answer a direct question from a reporter, but they will never volunter news or fill in with pertinent details. That’s why sometimes the public gets incomplete stories, and why reporters are always up in' arms against officials who arbitrarily decide for themselves what the public ought to know and not know. “On the other hand, officials have a legitimate “it is not the THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA OCTOBER 9 Mrs. Oscar G.

M. Behrends Department Store. B. M. Behrends, founder of the store, reminisced in the Empire, “The morning of October 9, 1891, I opened the doors of my store in a building that occupied the present site of the Alaska Meat Company. In the same year, however, I bought the southeast corner of Seward and Third streets, and soon moved my busi- ness there. “Coincident with the beginning of the mercantile business was the beginning of the banking business, which at first was merely the accept- ance of money for safe-keeping. It was not until 1914 that the banking ss, which up to then had been conducted under the name of | B. M. Behrend:. Banker, was incorporated under the B..M. Behrends Bank.” . Behrends {irst' came to Alaska in 1887 and was emp]oy(d by the sn.kn Trading Company as branch manager of their Juneau store. The girls’ basketball team of the senior class defeated the freshmen girls by a score of 16 to 0. Players on the top team were Mary Jeanette Whittier, Elizabeth Schramen, Virginia Ulrich, Ione Messer and Eva Rocovich. Mrs. J. M.

They Knew public reae-, tion would be bad. v However, the Defense Department central intelligence and others in charge of military secrets urged the President not only to issue his cen- sorship order but back it up—in part t0 keep the military from setting U. S. policy. "Time after time, high generals or admirals have barged in on civ- ilian policy or disclosed secrets which caused serious damage. .Most important was the release of the Smythe report on atomic energy . by General Leslie Groves. A few hours after the report was sent to several thousand newspap- ers, horrified scientists protested to the army that the report con- tained vital secrets by which an astute scientist could piece together the know-how for making the A- bomb. Hurriedly, Groves demanded that the report be recalled. “That,” replied a member of his stflfl “would be like trying to put an egg hack into a chicken.” Newsmen, not being technicians, had no way of knowing the signifi- cance of the Smythe rcporta com- plicated wording. yAnother military boner which played into Moscow’s hands was the s’nbement by General Orvil Ander- s6n, commander of the Air War Col- lege at Montgomery, Ala., that the nited States wanted a preventa- tive war. It was snecessary for the Air Force to relieve Gen. Anderson im order to demonstrate this was not our real foreign policy. , Note—On Mr. Truman’s desk this summer was one of our newest se- dret weapons, a guided missile.{ Proudly he demonstrated it to many callers, told about its accuracy against enemy planes. No restriction of secrecy was placed upon those with whom he talked. , INCOME TAX PROBE VAlen Senator Richard Nixon of Cglifornia had a lot to do, back- stage, with the cleanup of the in- cgne tax mess in San Francisco, was stopped by Judge Goodman, who, incidantally, had been ap- pointed to the bench on the recom- mendation of ex-Senator Sheridan Downey. Collector of Internal Rev- enue Smythe, now under investiga- tion, was Downey's campaign man- ager, To remedy the situation, Sen- ator Nixon introduced a bill which, if passed, will permit grand juries to hire counsel of their own and dig into a smelly sltuntmn—rebnrdless of whether the U. S. Attorney or the judge gives the green light. Nixon also phoned the Justice Department in Washington to in- quire about young O'Gara, the as- sistant U. S Attorney who was pushing the tax probe. “He's a psycopath,” was the reply. In the end, however, O'Gara won out. He was brought to Washington, as a witness before Senator Will- iams' income tax committee, while many of the tax collectors in San Francisco he was gunning for have now been removed. WASHINGTON PIPELINE Ex-Secretary of War Robert Pat- terson has notified the Senate Jud- iciary Committee that he has with- drawn his endorsement of Miss Frieda Hennock to be a U. S. Judge. Since Patterson once sat on the U. S. Court of Appeals, his word counts heavily with the Senators. He informed them that when he originally endorsed Miss Hennock, he had not realized all the facts now krought out by the New York Bar Association. , free hams, TV sets, €tc., can certainly get people into trouble these days. In fairness to Commander John Paul Floyd, how- ever, the $200 silver set being given him by members of the Civilian Orientation Conference was a sur- prise. Floyd didn't know it was come= ing. . .Ex-Senator Tydings of Mary- land has now sold his prize pigs, including “The Shamrock,” Illinois grand champion Hampshire boar. . .Some of the boys around the White House are really sore at Stuart Symington, new head of the RFC.

A, Hollywccd—After care- ful checking, I am convinced that there was nothing irregular about Constance Bennett's trips to Europe on Air Force planes. While it is| true that hér husband, Col. Theorn Coulter, has been stationed in Ger- many, the four trips she took to Germany in the past three years were all ordered by special services which arranged USO entertain- ment. One was March 29, 1949 when she flew to Germany with the cast of “Over 21.” Another was May 27| 1949 when she flew to Frankfurt| with “John Loves Mary.” Another trip was Dec. 14, travel orders signed by Col. E. W. Duncan of special services; and the last trip was June 13, 1950, to Weis-| baden with ‘a group of USQ enter- | tainers.
