Of course, Germany should be

Russian unwillingness to agree to

Thus far, the Russians have balk

President Hails U.
S. Press As “Best,
Freest In World*”’
CHICAGO, (PA* —With Presi
dent Truman’s tribute lauding the
American press as “the best and
freest in the world,” publishers
plans for National Newspaper
Week, October 1 to 8, neare ’ com
pletion.
The President, in lauding the
press as “best and freest,” noted
that, “as in all other fields of hu
man endeavor, there is always
room for improvement. Conse
quently, it is fitting that there
should be a National Newspaper
Week when newspapers of the
United States may take stock of
their services to their readers.
“I like the slogan you have
chosen this year—‘Your newspa
per serves freedom by serving
you’.” he continued. “There can
be no greater contribution to the
welfare of our nation and the
world than service in the cause of
freedom. We are too much inclin
ed to take our own freedom as a
matter of course. We need to de
fend it always and we need now
to do all th&t we can to extend the
blessings of freedom throughout
the world.
"Newspapers have played a
splendid part in this great cause,
and I know they can be counted
upon in the future." the Chief Ex
ecutive concluded.
If practices of previous years
continue, the week will be ob
served almost universally. It will
include talks before service clubs,
plant visitations by school chil
dren and other mass meetings ad

He called it a “serious mistake '
that minor offenders were locked
up where they could have contact
with major criminals and said “an

ers did not conform to his convic
tions of what is proper
Both Eisenhower and Royall
agreed that no action is called for
beyond what has been taken—
calling the attention of the com
mand to the findings by Wyche.
Eisenhower added:
“I am impelled to remark that,
in a position of grave responsibil
ity and one in which the delicate
and critical interests of the United
States were involved day by day.
General Lee has performed a
service to his country which has
won the approbation of associates
both civilian and military, not
only of our own country but of
i those attempting to work with us.”
Royall called Wyche’s investiga
tion “thorough, fair and judicial.”
He said “the substance of the re
port is corroborated not only by
the American Ambassador and the
British commanders in Italy, but
generally by members of the press
who for a considerable period of
time have had a wide opportunity
to observe the conditions in the
theater.”
Wyche’s report fin his inspec
' tion of the Italian command said
he found only “a few isolated
cases of maladministration and
probable miscarriages of justice,
none of which were condoned and
fostered by Gen. Lee.”
