THE ORACLE WORLD SITUATION HAS IMPROVED The world situation Markedly since last spring, according to Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, in explaining why the request of the armed forees for $30,000,000,000 for the fiscal year 1950 was pared to $14,400,000,000 by the President. Mr. Forrestal points that the figure submitted by the joint Chiefs of staff was not “unwise or ill-ad- vined” at the time and asserted that this conclusion becomes apparent if one pro- jects himself back to last summer and con- sider® conditions which existed at that hs improved out, however, « gf While the Defense Secretary favors tion of a seventy-group air force, he supports, for economic reasons, the President's budget which fixes a limit for ext year at forty-eight groups. He points out, in this connection, that air power is currently responsible for about sixty per cent of all military expenditures and ex- prewiés the opinion that American air power may become in the sky what Brit- ish) naval forces have been to the sea. It is interesting to note that one of the leading officials of the United States has concluded that the world situation shows improvement since a year ago. The Sec- retary of Defense may have information not available to the public or he may be awere of a lessening tension in the rela- THN between the larger powers. Let us hope that this conclusion is qptfett, although to the inexperienced eye, t ete little apparent evidence to sup- a hed belief that a $30,000,000,000-de- fense program was wise last year and that leewthan half is the correct amount today. mee Sen ~~ ADVERTISING 1S COMING UP A Witte whirl around the circle shows at the advertising agencies are broaden- - their fields and it would not be at all ae to find many National products diverfived in local papers in most parts of Bie Nation within the next few months. 4 course the agencies are always glad to ad out and include family newspepers ut too many large organizations and Hetitutions will never recover from the lusion that if they plant their copy in dozen big cities that they have told the Forld-—but as a matter of fact the home Rewepapers, read by every member of the mily is the greatest advertising field of ), And any high-minded public relations stitutions will never get by until they Bive more attention to these family news- Bapers outside the metropolitan districts. = The United States, comprising 7 per- @ nt of the world’s Population, has 1,749 quily newspapers, Russia, with 8.8 per qt of the population, has only 28 daily ®ewepapers all told.

Reason for that statement is not far to find. Florida’s cabinet, last week, cut the budget requests for the university. Governor Warren and other cabinet members may expect to hear similar ‘state- ments from other heads of departments or divisions in the state. “Peril” or its equiva- lent is a favorite term of bureaucrats who can not get all they want. Each bureau: crat thinks pis particular. service to the state or the federal government is the most important, and up goes his hands in pro- test when he does not get all the money for which he asks. That has always been the way in which bureaucrats. proceed in trying to get hefty amounts for depart- ments, divisions or bureaus, Bureaucrats also resort to employing high-sounding terms in predicting grave results as a consequence of having budge- tary requests slashed, and the greater the slash the graver the prediction. The head of the university said: “This is a crucial period in our state, educationally speaking. We have consider- able progress behind and a long hard road ahead.” The adjective “crucial” is always a favorite with budgeteers who don’t get all for which they ask. They should be choicer in the use of words. “Crucial” is the term recurrently used in a political campaign, particularly when its scope takes in the entire country. Everything is “crucial” to the outs who are trying to root the ins out of office. Finally, the progress of the Univer- sity of Florida will. not be retarded by budgetary cuts. Additional construction, for which the university asks, will come when the state’s finances are not as strap- ped as they are now. People who are sick appreciate good health; you might as well enjoy yours while it lasts. SHOULD ANY COURT LEGISLATE- The conviction of three Baltimore radio stations and one news editor of con- tempt of court for violating a “rule re- stricting the publication of crime. news,” raises some very interesting issues. It appears that the stations broadcast information about a man before his trial on a charge of murder. The judge found that the broadcasts constituted “an ob- struction to justice” in that they “left an indelible effect upon the public mind” that would follow members of the jury into the jury-room. The jurist, Judge John D. Gray, Jr., denied that the limitations on news im- posed by the court rule constituted censor- ship and pointed out that the question be- fore him involved not only an “abridge- ment of the freedom of the press” but “an equally potent constitutional princi- ple” that involved “the right of an dccus- ed to a fair trial.” | Without the rule of the court, which limited the right of publication, before us, we can hardly pass on its meri Without its text, it is not possible to pass on the allegation of undue censorship of news. Moreover, without the text of the broad- casts, it is impossible for anyone to deter- mine whether the radio stations gave out information that tended to infringe upon the defendant’s right to a fair trial. Con- sequently, we pass up, for the present discussion, the apparent clash between these important constitutional guarantees. Another issue which arouses some speculation in our mind is that the convic- tion was based upon a rule adopted by the Supreme Bench of Baltimore city. The one invoked was adopted after local news- papers had given unusual publicity to a murder case in 1938, which, in the opin- ion of local judges, hampered the fair administration of justice. It seems to us that any judge, or Supreme Court, goes abit too far in at- tempting to pass what amounts to legis- lation. While the judges may justify their rule by alleging that it is necessary to insure fair trials, the matter seems to operate in a field more particularly cov- ered by legislative powers. If the legisla- tive body of the State of Maryland agrees with the ideas advanced by the jurists, the passage of a law to protect the rights of accused would be fairly simple. It is a bit dangerous, however, for judges to en- ter such a wide field on the basis of a rule, which is to be enforced by contempt of court proceedings, [fama is a tendency ‘to “ticq | plaintirrs oe ene aw aed Hild ene ntarenee SSOUV eb Res eee S eT: THE KEY WFST CITIZEN Mortimer Snerd.

We can eat there.” y “But I can't go out to dinner like this.” She reached up and tried to smooth down her hair, retied the ribbon which had fal- len over one ear. She could do nothing about the dress. “Just look at me—I look terrible!” --“You look sweet,” he said un- expectedly, but he did not look at her. “If it would make you fee) any beter, take a lobk at me. However, it doesn’t matter. We're joing to a place they call ‘Play- land’ where the food’s good and clothes don’t matter.” Soon they arrived at a long, low building whose big neon sign proclaimed it to be “Playland.” The place was ablaze with lights and the sound of gay voices inter- mingled with the trains of popu- Jar eae floated out through the open windows. : As they made their way toward the side door, Betty saw a_car that looked very much like Ger- trude’s, but she assured herself that she was mistaken. Besides, Gertrude, with all of her tearing a ind, was always in before lark. Later, when they had finished a really enjoyable dinner and George Newton was ordering dessert, Betty thought she. saw Gertrude’s bright blonde curls and slim figure among the dan- cers in an adjoining room where a five-piece orchestra was giving out with the latest boogie- woogie tune. But a second glance through the archway that led into the dance hall convinced her she was again mistaken. “Would you like to dance? George Newton’s voice broke into her thoughts. “I'd love to,” she answered eagerly, pushing back her plate. Betty was conscious only of his arms around her, his head bent down till his lips almost touched: her hair—almost, but not quite. She knew she was in love with Doctor George Newton and she hated herself for it. He had done everything he could to dis- courage her, It might have been why she smiled with unusual warmth at the red-headed young man who stood idly jiggling a pin-ball machine in the big informal din- ing room. She even went so far as to wave at him when he smiled back at her. “That’s Jack Barnes,” she told ‘her companion when they were seated. “He did me a big favor when I first came to Carrolton. This is the first time I’ve seen him since then.” “Yes, I know young Barnes. His father owns about half of Carroll County, but the kid’s not too well liked in town.” As spoke, he smiled and nodded a friendly greeting to the youn, man in question. Barnes replie! with an equally friendly salute. The conversation was inter- rupted: by a waitress who came , I. to say that Doctor Newton was wanted on the telephone. “It’s is Harpers,” Pod fos Betty as he got ul ‘rom table. “I left wo: with the nurse that she was to call me here if she needed any further instructions. Be back in a min- ute.” ‘While he was at the telephone Jack Barnes came over and spoke to Betty. She asked him to sit down, and for a moment they chatted about inconsequential things. He started to get up when he saw Newton coming back. but the latter held out a detaining hand and sat down on the bench beside Betty. “Don’t go, Jack,” he said. “I've just had a hurry-up call at the Harpers’. I—well, I was wonder- ing if you’d mind taking Betty home.” “Mind? I don’t know of a’ thing I'd like better,” said Jack He got up, saying to Betty, “Sit where you are and don’t move. Tll be with you in a sec. Got to speak to a fellow in the band, He was counting on pitching a ride with me, so I'll tell him I've got other plans.” When Jack returned she smiled up into his eyes and said, “I was thinking it would be nice if we Hades here awhile and did a little rug-cutting, as you call it.” “Nothing to stop us—now that Killjoy’s gone.” He took her hand and helped ‘ier to her feet.
