ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVES — West- /ednesday, December 26, 1951 OF THE PRESS In the December issue of Cosmopolitan maga- zine, MacArthur’s intelligence chief, Major Genera. Charles A. Willoughby, complains that a number of the nation's top newspapermen “appeared to go out of their way to create defeatist thought patterns in their readers and to belittle the country’s armed services.” Gen. Willougrby’s bitter accusation of giving aid and comfort to the enemy was directed at Hanson Baldwin of the New York Times. Hal Boyle of the Associated Press, Drew Pearson and others. Writers who had not been too critical of the job Willoughby had done as intelligence chief were praised as being balanced and accurate in their writings. Without going into the merits of what these writers have had to say about General Willoughby or what they have written about the armed forces, we are thankful that we do have reporters in this country who report the facts as they see them instead of shouting, when they know it isn't true, that all OBLIGATIO? to the puplic in the hope that public opinion will generate action, or remain silent for fear that his attempt to give the truth will cause some GI at the front to lose confidence in his weapons and, as a result, become less effecive?

Should he remain sil that if he speaks out some soldier will fidence in his machine gun? Or should this matter to the attention of the American public in the hope that public opinion could get a better machine gun for this soldier, which would thea in turn boost his morale? In a country where the press is free, reporters often bring out the truth when the public would therwise remain uninformed. This advantage and afeguard has been found to 0 gh the vantages sometimes encountered in critical rer such as General Willoughby complains of.

Lamar Caudle was a| | meet at Baranof Hotel. Q. Should a bride remove her veil before sitting at the hreaklastl next day, and I suppose the Cnu-. dle children read it as my answer to their Christmas gift, and fig- ured that I was just one of these hardboiled newspapermen who would rush to the phone with a scoop if his grandmother were run over by a taxi in front of the White House. A newspaperman does have to be hardboiled sometimes, but he also happens to have that same portion of the human anatomy that makes other people tick—a heart. And at this Christmas time I should like to balance the picture of Lamar Caudle by pointing out some things which don’t get into the headlines, which don’t get into most Of the fast-moving press association sto- Ties. Bluebloods Vs. Country Boys In picking governmeni officials, this country is inclined to alter- nate retween the appointment of wealthy young men with blue stock- ing backgrounds, who have no monetary temptations but who don't always know what govern- ment is all about; and on the other hand, country koys like La- mar Caudle, who are so dazzled by the sudden glamor of public of- fice that they are easy suckers for the city slickers with a private airplane and a fast buck. The Republicans under Hoover and Coolidge leaned toward the blue bloods. The Democrats, es- pecially under Truman, have lean- ed toward the country boys. Nei- ther makes the best type of public servant; you need to find a mix- ture or medium in between. And when the country boys have large families to support, and when they don't suspect that the nice people are so very, very nice, not because they like them but be- cause th want something, then the result is “Caudleism.” However, have watched the great game of playing favorites frem a ringside seat in Washing- ton for many years, and under quite a few presidents. And I can | tell the Caudle children that the free airplane rides their daddy got | were no different from the free| private cars to the Kentucky der- by which Jesse Jones got from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad— except that the B. and O. got a/ Jot more money from Jesse Jones' RFC—$87,000,000—than anyone ever got out of Mr. Caudle I am also certain that the man- I who got dazzled by | smooth-talking friends. No smooth talker himself, he was his own worst enemy on the witness stand. But it was obvious from listening to him that he was telling the truth. For when a man pays more for a fur coat, wholesale, than he would have had to pay retail, then he really shows himself as a coun- try boy who ought not to be pall- ing around with city slickers. Unquestionably Lamar Caudle ought not to have held the job he did. But it's easy for a newspaper- man or a congressman to sit back in judgméat on our fellow men. And I can’t help remembering that the newspaper chain which cast the first stone at Caudle is headed by the same man whom the Roose- velt administration exposed for setting up a personal holding cor- poration to take tax deductions on his yacht. I also remember that when in California last year, I got a phone call from Caudle saying that they were pushing a tax case against “Niggy” Rutkin in Newark, N. J., fo rthe city slickers with a private Galley 2 Wash Merrygoround HI ation I had that would help. Caudle knew I had investigated the feud between those two notorious rum- {runners, Rutkin and Joe Rein- feld, and asked me to phone any helpful information to his attorney in Newark, Mickey Rothwacks. ‘Taking the troukble to call me in California about Rutkin was not what I would call pulling a tax punch, CAUDLE'S RECORD There was also the case of the { country boy CLEVELAND, Dec. 26—®—Two Marines held a Christmas reunion here Tuesday just 365 days after saying goodbye to each other in Korea during the retreat from Cho- | sin. | The pair were Sgt.

Caudle sent a tax fraud case against Waring .to the U. S. Attorney in Baltimore last v. Nothing happened. Caudle prodded the case in July, prodded a third time recently, then he himself was fired. There was also the case of Dr. Herbert Hessler of Kansas City, Kans.,, which Caudle sent to U.
