K. System for Copy Was Resented at First—Hours on Air Allotted. Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover’s trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded for the United States, are to be gained from_the interesting story written by Rex Collier, The Star’s own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. S day was the forlorn figure of a newspaper man who had dashed vainly 3,000 miles across the continent in the hope of joining the press con- tingent. He had arrived on the Pacific Coast in ample time to meet the party before it left Palo Alto, but he had found the doors closed against him. There was just no room for any more press repre- sentatives, he had been advised by George Akerson, secretary to the Presi- dent-elect. There were accommoda- tions on the battleship for only 20 cor- respondents, and the 20 had been chosen. The newspaper man did not give up hope, however. It was the news as- signment of a lifetime, this good-will tour, and he persisted in trying to find a way to “get in on it.” A personal ap- peal to the President-elect.gained him no satisfaction. As a last resort, it is said, he sought the aid of the State Department. All his entreaties were in vain He was the picture of disappointment as he waved a reluctant farewell to :m;nben of the party as they left the lock. BY REX COLLIER. TANDING on the dock at San Pedro when the good-will party set sail that memorable Autumn Regrets His Exclusion. President-elect Hoover regretted the necessity for excludins this newspaper man or any others from his party. Strange as it may seem to those aware of his aversion for personal publicity, | Hoover wanted to take along with him many correspondents as possible. Nor was this desire inspired by com- passion or a sense of obligation, America's futute President, be it known, has faith in the press. He has rofound respect for its powers in mold- rng public opinion, in cl away doubt and misunderstanding under the glare of journalistic inquiry and en- lightenment. What Latin America sorely needed, he felt, was a modern press nt. Her true story was not being told Yo the | world. ‘We were learning all about her irevolutions and banditry and plotting, ‘but scarcely anything at all about her pe:c“gume pursuits, her domestic tran- quillity. \ Although he never had visited Cen- tral or South America, Hoover was con- vinced there was a brighter side to the Latin American picture than thal ted by the meager news dispatches which filtered northward by cable and radio. There agose in his mind a con- viction that!the distorted vision' of our southern neighbors conjured up by the daily run of news was g an invisi- ble but menacing r between the two continents. He reasoned that if North America was gaining an erroneous impression of conditions below the Rio Grande it was likely that South Amer- ica was forming a similarly unfavorable conception of Uncle Sam. Needed Better Acquaintance. What the Americas needed, he de- cided, was to get better acquainted. ‘There had existed too long an atmo- sphere of formal aloofness that could not but enco suspicion, distrust and general ill will. Conditions such as these were not conducive to peace and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere. A way must be found to introduce these peoples of the New World to one an- other in a friendly, informal way. What better way was there to spread this knowledge and understanding to all of North America than by sending to Latin America a delegation of news- paper correspondents and photog: raphers, serving not only the leading press associations, feature syndicates and dailies, but also the principal news- reel services? There seemed to be only velopment, Mr. Butterworth said, are sufficient ~reasons why government should refrain from interference in a restrictive way with business. He cited taxation as an example. In this connection Mr., Zutterworth said, “the national chamber thinks a national concert of action is both pos- sible and necessary. It is therefore undertaking to counsel the business lnum in the solution of local tax prob- lems.” Norman Sommerville, Toronto, urged closer co-operation between Canada and the United States. Gen. Herbert M. Lord, director of the Budget Bureau, addressed the chamber briefly and pointed out the functions of the bureau. ———— Scotch Rates Not Wanted.

Will Rogers Says: NEW YORK CITY.—This fellow Whalen is really trying his best to do something with this traffic situa- tion in New York, and everybody is hoping he gets away with it. For the first time in New York, he is making pedestri- ans act like an automobile. Now whether they know that much depends on the people. Pedestri- ans must hold out their hand when getting ready to turn. Continually doing this is go- ing to. be hard for just a few of us here in New York.

It becomes apparent, therefore, that the press was an integral part of the good-will n. Its representatives were not on the trip by sufferance, but by personal invitation of the President- elect. The correspondents may not have sensed it at the outset, but Hoover has assigned to them a large portion of the task which lay ahead. Hoover’s invitation to the press had nged to be wholly superfluous. He fnun? ';\llmlel! egn(ronted with a barrage of legrams from ns, syndicates, newspapers and magazines requesting permission to send staff or special representatives on the trip. His fondest hopes were being far exceeded. Great Tact Required. In fact, he was in a dilemma, for there were not accommodations enough on a battleship for all who wished to 0. Even South American newspapers were clamoring for recognition. It re- quired the greatest tact on the part of the Hoover stafl to select from the 5 | scores of applicants the 20 writers and T photographers for which the Navy had made provision. The rule of “first come, first served,” was adhered to rig- idly, and it was decided, furthermore, to exclude the Latin-American papers from representation. The latter ruling naturally caused some discontent in South America, and El Diario, in Buenos Alres, characterized the exclu- sion of South American writers as “the first mistake of the Hoover mission.” It is significant, in passing, to add that this same journal later was carrying columns of news and editorial comment of the most favorable sort. As a matter of record, it is pertinent to give the names of those comprising the press delegation on the trip. There were the three well known war corre- spondents—Will Irwin of the North American Newspaper alliance and au- thor of Hoover's campaign biography, Willlam Philip Simms_of Scripps- Howard alliance, and Edward Price Bell of the Chicago Daily News. There was the veteran political expert, Mark Sullivan, close friend of the President- elect. And there were the following staff correspondents: James L.

Conference Called. ‘The Maryland had been at sea just a day when the President-elect called all the newspaper men into his quarters for a conference. He took them into his confidence in an amazingly frank, informal way. He told them he de- pended on ‘the press to tell South America’s story to the United States. They were embarked on a great educa- tional mission that might alter the whole future course of Pan-American relations. He impressed upon each cor- respondent the fact that there rested on the shoulders of the press a definite share of the responsibility involved in the big enterprise. Hoover realized how easily the whole purpose of the mission might be de- feated through a single unfortunate phrase—a thoughtless exaggeration of some minor ‘“unpleasant incident,” a misunderstanding of some Latin cus- tom or a misinterpretation of an un- familiar language. He asked for the full co-operation of the press in hand- ling such exigencies, and he in turn promised his whole-hearted support of the press. In this connection it is appropriate to speak of the rumored censorship im- posed on press copy aboard the Mary- land and the Utah. The reports about censorship grew out of the establish- ment of an “O. K.” system affecting all news dispatches sent from the ship. It is true that when the correspondents first learned they must submit all their copy to George Barr Baker for initial- ing there was a wave of something akin to indignation. It certainly sounded like a form of censorship, theoretically. System Proves Harmless. In practice, however, the “O. K.” system proved to be quite harmless. It was a move necessitated by Navy regu- lations governing the use of ships’ radio. George Baker, besides being a semi- official assistant to the President-elect, was a Reserve lieutenant commander. 1t _devolved upon him to act as liaison officer between the press and the ship's communication officers. If he pos- sessed arbitrary powers as censor, ap- parently he failed to exercise them. He confined his activities to offering ad- vice or, at most, “constructive criti- cism.” The feeling of resentment which first greeted inauguration of the “O. K.” policy soon died away, and on land- ing at Hampton Roads the correspond- Dramatic Suicide Is Seen as Stage Cannon Kills Actor Author Injured by Mule Kick and Manager Made Il by Eating Bananas.

There was a flare as the gun was touched off and a dull boom and the actor dramatically fell. As the cur- tain descended, the audience applaud- ed what seemed to them to be a good bit of acting. While the shouts of ap- proval still sounded from the house, “Baltimore” dragged his shot-torn body to _the wings and died. Police at first suspected that the cannon had been loaded with real shot by some person other than the actor. ‘They later learned from the ownmer of the show that “Baltimore” always in- sisted on charging the cannon himself for his act. Earller in the show another actor, Milton Salomon, was kicked by a mule and seriously injured. Diario de La Marina today sald that there was also a further casaulty in the Minstrel Co.

R |- Serving Washington for Over STATE NEARING END OF BRIBERY PROBE Attorneys for Former District At- torney and Five Others in Los Angeles Planning Defense. By the Assoclated Press. . LOS ANGELES, January 22.—The State today approached the end of its bribery case against former District At- torney Asa Keyes and five other de- fendants. The prosecution announced it had but two more witnesses and that they would not require more than 20 minutes on the stand. As the defense made ready to present its witnesses eight defense lawyers con- ferred until late last night in the hope, it was said, of presenting a united de- fense. As the conference broke up it was learned that the question of which of the six defendants should first take the stand was discussed in detail. Attorneys Jud Rush and Willlam B. Beirne, representing Keyes, felt that the former Los Angeles County prose- cutor should be the last to reveal his defense. He sald, however, that law- yers for the other defendants were un- willing to agree on this. Motions for a directed verdict of ac- quittal because of “lack of evidence” were expected as the first concerted defense move. A particularly strenuous lea of this nature was e: d in half of Dave Getzoff and Jack Rosen- berg, the least-mentioned of the as- serted conspirators.

Of course, the .iewspaper men were free to send any kind of dispatch they pleased while ashore, and it is but fair to them to say that, although unfet- tered by Navy restrictions, at no time did they prove unworthy of the confi- dence placed in them by é‘the chief.” The correspondents had not been on the Maryland long before they were wrestling with a real problem, however. It developed that the ship's radio facil- ities were incapable of handling expe- ditiously the extraordinary rush of press traffic. Moreover, there are “dead spots” on the Pacific, where the radio is rendered useless. At.times the Mary- land lost contact altogether with shore stations. At other times the service was interrupted or delayed. The Navy was doing its best, but the news was not getting through properly. Word Limit Decided. The newspaper men were in a quan- dary. Even Mr. Hoover shared in the anxiety. Finally a press conference was called, and it was decided to limit all dispatches to 250 words and to allot certain hours on the radio to each writer. Under this arrangement the news of the trip down the West Coast reached the United States in sporadic and abridged form, but since no out- standing news event occurred the cov- erage thus rendered turned out to be quite adequate. ‘With more time in which to prepare for its voyage and with the lessons learned on the Maryland to guide it, the Utah remedied the troubles by install- ing a powerful short-wave radio set capable of maintaining communication under all conditions. After all, the troubles of the press were minor ones, easily lost sight of in the glamour of covering one of the most notable peace-time news assignments in the history of journalism.
