SUBSCRIPTION RA‘LES One year (In Advance) .._.-..-.-.--------------$3.00 Chie OMIGRTT oe esi ae 30 cents NEWSPAPER WEEK 7 The sixth annual observance of Newspaper. Week, beginning next Monday, has a theme in which the men and women of the American press may take honest pride: “A Free Press —Torch of World Peace.”’ War time difficulties of the press, and journalism’s direct contributions toward victory, may be passed over. Shortages in materials and personnel were serious handicaps—but other industries suffered comparable burdens. . Newspapers were: lavish in donating curtailed space to War Bond drives, metal and paper salvage drives, recruiting appeals, and thousand and one other needs of public information and inspiration. But other industries were likewise zealous in patroitic sacrifices and labors. The unique achievement of American journalism was, its demonstration that true freedom of the press engenders a high pride in integrity as well as a sense of intolerance for shackles imposed from without. American newspapermen—scores of thousands of them—accepted without coercion a voluntary «ode of war time censorship. They were entrusted by the gov-ermmment with many secrets that would have been extremely dangerous to this nation in the knowledge of our enemies. The secrets were kept. The code was observd. There was no need of a government censor in an American newspaper office. History has proven, again and again, that human liberty cannot long survive where the press is stifled and that despotism cannot survive for long where the press is free. In the torch of a free press flames the hope of mankind for peace throughout the world—and in the war record of the free press of America is established a standard of honor and responsibility that brightens the white flame.—Contributed. ‘A THE WAR IS OVER, MR. BOWLES retail shoppers have receive a blow from Chester Bowles, OPA chief to their hope of speedy restoration of normal shopping procedures and conveniences. They hoped the end of standing in line in customer queues would come with recruitment of war depleted sales staffs; the end of lugging parcels home would come with resumption of delivef'y services; the end of trampling from store to store in search of items would come with the relieved merchant sure of his supplies and therefore able to resume full advertising service to his custorhers. ers that they shouldn't expect a return of those normal services during reconversion. OPA has ordered retail establishments to freeze sales prices at the 1942 level, and at the same time absorb higher manufacturing prices granted to cover increased costs of raw materials and rising wages in consumer goods production. Complaining against the “squeeze” on retailers as uneconomic and ruinous, retail organizations pointed out that their operating expenses are due to increase through restoration of many customer services which were discontinued during the war—more deliveries, more clerks, gift wrapping, shopping services’ advertising, etc. Bowles replied that there’s no valid need for big sales organizations or expanded advertising or other services because the pent-up demand for consumer goods is so great people will flock to the stores anyhow. In other words, customers will continue to put up with anything. Whatever Bowles may hear in further complaint from harassed retailers, -it will probbly be mild in comparison with the wratehful expressions of the country s housewives. At the least they may remind him they’ve heard—on the authority of gentlemen named Eisenhower, Nimitz, Halsey and MacArthur—that the war is over.—Contributed. 5000 ‘NEW ATOMIC PRODUCTS Disclosure that research which led: to the’ atomic bomb will make possible creation of 5000 new products and © procedures is breathtaking. How vast a.leap man apparently has made toward solution of basic physical mysteries—toward mastery of his invironment. And yet—how sardonically must old Mother Nature chuckle at the vainglory of man. _ Man the master of his envorinment? Why, the old dame would need take just one of her simplest elements from him —the atmosphere—and within a few minutes every human and animal on this globe would die gasping for breath. _ Or should she take all water from this planet, all life would be extinct in a matter of days. Perhaps this is why men who make their living with the old dame’s cooperation respect her the more. They know she has the final say. California’s classical example of this is the decade-long fight of Central Valley agriculture, desperately in need of irrigation water, to prevent the water supply issue from being lost sight of through the expensive plans of power obsessed bureaucrats to turn the Central Valley Project into a western TVA. The farmer knows the value of power —it is essential to his business, it is as necessary in his home as it is in the city home. Yet he has long had plenty of power available: while to this day a drop of Central Valley Project has not reached him. Dame Nature knows, even if some bureaucrats do not, that it is impossible to turn a calf into a beef by plugging its tail into a.light socket or to germinate seed and grow a crop by some process of manipulating electric switches. Dame Nature calls for water, and she laughs at the whims of men. : Those 5000 new products of atomic research are thrilling to contemplate to be sure and doubtless will make living a richer experience for all nations. Yet punk man, for all his acchievements should never seriously anticipate conquering old But now Bowles has, in effect, told the nation’s consum——e WE ARE ON OUR WAY The peak of our Company’s telephone shortage was in August. Then we had about 305,000 unfilled orders for service of which more than 298,000 were for service in residences. More orders come in every day, but now we are installing telephones faster than the new i orders come in. We will get 80,000 telephones from July to December 31 this year, and 80,000 in the first three months of 1946. Western Electric, our manufacturing company, is setting up every machine it has that will make telephone equipment. In the next 12 months the Bell System expects , to install more telephones than there were in 3 j all of France and Belgium before the war. Even that will not give service to everyone who . . . ‘Wants it in that time. There are places where . we have complicated switchboards to install— even places where we must build new buildings . for the new switchboards. While there were in August more than 123,000 unfilled orders due to lack of telephone instruments, there was a gteater number, about 164,000, unfilled due t shortage of central office facilities. { Bs But we are on our way to give ‘service to all who want it—on our way to restore Bell SysBt tem standards of service and raise them even 2) higher. We are turning our facilities back to civilian service just asfast as we turned them to the instant needs of war.
