pared for delivery at a luncheon
i in the Hotel Statler, stressed the
vital role newspapers can play in
i this phase of the cold war.
“There is too much nonsense
about striped trousers in foreign
affairs,” he said.
“Far more influence is exerted
by the baggy pants of the man
aging-editor.”
Mr. Truman chose this gather
ing of the nation’s editors to out
line a program for strengthening
the government’s own informa
tional program abroad.
He said most of the editors are
meeting well their responsibility
as a link “between the American
people and world affairs” by in
forming them “well and complete
yl”
But, he added, “I am sorry to
VOTE FOR
\Y. W. “Cliief” LAWS
For REPRESENTATIVE
REPUBLICAN TICKET
say a few are meeting it badly.”;
He did not name any names, but
went on to say:
“Foreign policy is not a matter
for partisan presentation. The
facts about Europe or Asia should
not be twisted to conform to one j
side or the other of a political dis
pute. Twisting the facts might
change the course of an election
at home, but it would certainly
damage our country’s program
abroad.”
Mr. Truman called “absurd”
the line taken by Russian propa
ganda, saying:
“Soviet propaganda constantly
reviles the United States as a na
tion of ‘war mongers’ and ‘imper
ilaists.’ You and I know how ab
surd that is.
“We know that the United
States is wholly dedicated to the
cause of peace. We have no pur
pose of going to war except in de
fense of freedom."
WASHINGTON, (/P)—'The state
department may ask Congress for
more millions to combat commun
ist propaganda abroad.
President Truman signaled the
move with an announcement yes
terday that he has directed secre
tary of state Acheson to plan “a
strengthened and more effective
national effort to use the power
of truth in working for peace.”
Officials already are at work on
plans calling for a stiff increase in
the current annual outlay of some
$36,01)0,000 for “Voice of Amer
ica” overseas broadcasts, the ex
change of students with foreign
countries, and other such activi
ties.
On Capitol Hill, Senator Brid
ges <R.-N.' H.> said a stronger i
“Voice of America” program i
would have general appeal to Re
publicans. He said he would give i
it strong support in the Senate ap-1
propriations committee.
“Anything that will jam through !
the Russian propaganda to reach |
behind the Iron Curtain would be 1
worthwhile,” Bridges told a re- J
porter.
Mr. Truman, in an address to
the American Society of News
paper Editors, called for a “cam
paign of truth” to outline to the
peoples of the world this coun
try’s desire for peace.

Board ^Unfreezes’
$165,000 of Funds
JUNEAU, (#*)—Alaska’s board
of administration granted a total
of $165,000 Wedsonday to three
Territorial agencies.
An allocation of $65,000 comes
from the $5,600,000 of appropria
tions that were “frozen" by the
board last June because of the
Territory’s financial emergency.
The other $100,000 was granted
to the Veterans’ Affairs commis
sion under a technicality of the
law, which previously was over
looked. It was explained that the
$100,000 actually was due the vet
erans’ commission, by act of the
legislature, prior to the “freeze”
action. The provision was in “fine
print" and went unnoticed until
V. A. commissioner Floyd Guer
tin discovered that the commis
sion was to receive an allotment
each month officials said.
Other funds released from the
“deep freeze” were $60,000 for
purchase of a site for the pro
posed Territorial building in Jun
eau and $5,000 for the national
guard.
The board of administration
previously had released $261,564
of the frozen funds.
The board is headed by Gov
ernor Greuning. Other members
are treasurer Henry Roden, aud
itor Frank Boyle, attorney gener
al Gerald Williams, education
commissioner James Ryan and
highway commissioner Fr a n k
Metcalf.
