To Secure Liberty
By H. B. Bozeman
(Columnist, Winfield, La., Enterprise)
Till I'M (’I A RATION OF INDEPENDENCE SAYS: "We
hold these truths to he self evident, that all men are created
equal, that the’, are endowed bv their Creator with certain unalien
able Right, the: among these are I ife, 1 iberty and the pursuit of
Hap h 'css -which the Laws of Nature and Nature's (iod entitle
them--—and for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance
on the Ihu-p- lion « f Di\ ine Providence, we mutualh pledge to
each other our Lives, our lav tunes, and our sacred honor.
•'non e above enunciated principals, underscored bv a. firm
faith in Cloth the United States </ America was horn. Our nation
has st .ived tiros far. because we have dailv and week!', newspapers
—a 1 . e Press.
U mi.in oat ue being what it is: selfish, covetous and desirous
of power over other fellow beings, the l nited States would not
have listed long, had there not been newspapers free to criticize
and expose.
,f our American newspapers were not free, but govern
ment controlled, like TV and radio now are, in five years our
counw, state and federal governments would ail rule in a totali- ;
tariau manner, more tyrannical than England imposed on the !
Amt: Van Colonies.
So long as our dailv and weekly newspapers survive, as a
E'ree Ptess, our nation will survive as a Free United States—but, :
if ever our newspapers are required to have a federal license to
operate, like radio and TV, we will have a controlled nress, con
trolled economy and a totalitarian government where there is
no individual liberty and freedom.
Kennedy Takes Breather
From Campaign Tour
WASHINGTON U* — President
Kennedy catches his campaign
breath for the next two days, then
dashes off through eight states in
another fire-building mission for
1962.
Kennedy landed in Washington
early this morning from New York,
where he had summoned U.N.
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson to an
hour's huddle on international ob
jectives, after barnstorming five
states on political objectives in
November congressional and state
elections.
Several minutes before Ken
nedy’s plane touched down at
Washington National Airport, five
fire trucks wheeled out alongside
the runway.
The plane was low on hydraulic
fluid used for braking, an Air
Force officer said, and the pilot
had radioed this information to the
airport. The fire trucks were sent
out “as a super-precautionary
measure,” the Air Force spokesman
said.
Kennedy, unruffled as he step
ped off the plane, quickly entered
a limousine which took him to
the White House.
Sprinting through New York,
northern New Jersey, western
Pennsylvania, Indianapolis, Louis
ville, and Buffalo in the last three
days, Kennedy demonstrated:
He is primarily interested in
turning out a big vote on Nov. 6.
He said in a television interview
that competition on the stump from
former President Dwight Eisen
hower — while Eisenhower’s
speeches “may not be so helpful,"
as he put it — will help arouse the
electorate. Democrats outnumber
Republicans in registration, he
said, but Democrats “don’t do so
well” in pouring out on election
day.
He is working for new frontiers
men. He reckons on a 25 per cent
defection of Democrats on crucial
domestic votes. In Pittsburgh, he
lumped conservative members of
his party with Republicans as ob
stacles on key issues.
Order Bans Movement
Of Defense Cargoes to
Alaska via Canda Lir.es
SEATTLE — The U.S. De
fense Department Friday issued a
“cease and desist” order against
the movement of defense cargoes
to Alaska over Canadian rail lines
and piers.
The order, as reported to the
Chamber of Commerce here by
Sen. Warren Magnuson, bans “the
Transportation chief of the Army
and all other agencies booking
space or routing military cargo
from utilizing the Canadian Na
tional Railways and other Canadian
facilities.”
Sen. Magnuson and the Port of
Seattle protested early this month
when it was learned that some
defense cargoes were bypassing
U.S. rail and shipping lines and
moving north to Alaska via the
Canadian National Railbarge Serv
ice set up last May out of Prince
Rupert.
These cargoes included two car
loads of vehicles from a Michigan
manufacturer’s plant to Elmendorf
field.

\\ hat Is a Newspaper
.v
By Rep. Carl Albert, Okla.
(Majority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives)
lO THE LAYMAN, a newspaper is a sometimes satisfying,
I occasionally perplexing, and often exciting experience. To
the newspaperman, the American public must present a similar
enigma. As an element in our society, we view no single institution
as more fundament 1 than the press in expressing the divergent
views arising out of free and open discussion; more formidable in
the structuring of public opinion; or more faithful in the execution
sene as the basis for reasoned judgment.
In an age of potential push-button annihilation when the
repercussions of error can be castastrophic, we must be able to
marshall the best thinking of the best minds and bring it to bear
on the problem at hand. The functioning of an open democratic
society demands an informed populace. History is replete with de
cisions not made or made erroneously because the weight of public
opinion was against them. Thus, a newspaper becomes the means
of disseminating information—accurate, factual information—to
of its vast responsibilities.
The Old Order Changeih
LONDON (j'P1 — Centigrade tem- !
perature scales officially took over
from Britain’s traditional Fahren
heit system today.
The changeover is part of this |
country’s gradual move toward j
the European economic commun- '
itv, where the decimal system is
standard.
At the beginning of the year,
centigrade temperatures were
given after the Fahrenheit equi
valent. From today centigrade
takes precedence.
Britons may eventually use de
cimals to reckon how rich, as
well as how hot, they are. A gov
ernment move is under way to dis
cards pounds, shillings and pence 1
for the easier-to-reckon decimal j
currency. A committee has been |
meeting for months to study ad- !
visability of the change.

* Alaska State
(liumthre Told
Tourism Is Richest
Potential Industry
ANCHORAGE l/Pt — The rich
est potential industry in Alaska
is tourism and there is no limit
to its expansion, delegates to the
State Chamber of Commerce Con
vention here have been told.
Charles West of Seattle, presi
dent of Westours, Inc., said the
impact of tourist dollars on the
economy of Alaska can be so far
reaching as to be beyond compre
hension. However, he said it re
mains to be seen whether tin
Alaska tourist market will expand.
It all depends, West said, neon
how well it is cultivated, how
sincerely and energetically “thorn
of us interested in Alaska’s tour
ism work toward this objective "
Lack of adequate hotel
modations was cited a.- one of
the biggest drawbacks * tourism
m the state. West said tha! if th«■
airlines serving t lie gate filled
their stats and the steamers fill d
their berths, there would be com
plete inadequacy of hotel accom
modations at all points in the
state.
West also urged expansion
the tourist season — to take ad
vantage of the more than three
months of good travel weather
which is available in Alaska. He
said this could be accomplished
by introducing rates, offering a
price as an attraction.
The greatest barriers to travel
to the state, West said, are cost
and distance. He suggested that
cost could be cut by increasing the
i volume.
He noted that this pa t summer
' tourist volume for the state was
! up about 20 per cent over the
previous year.
West also pointed out that of
i the $16 billion annually spent by
Americans for travel and vaca
| tions, Alaska’s share is only $20
million.
Morris Ford of Juneau, Director
of the Alaska Travel Division,
stressed the importance of hos
pitality in his report on tourism.
Ford also pointed out that 1962
! was the biggest year for the state
i in tourist trade.
The state's exhibit at the World's
Fair in Sea’tie was also credited
by Ford as a great success.
Gen. Wm. C. Potter (retp. for
mer district engineer in Alaska
j for the Army Corps of Engineers
and now executive vice president
| of the New York World’s Fair,
urged Chamber delegates to see
that an Alaska exhibit would be
included in the 1964-65 New York
Fair.
