pressing sorrow over the death of

in the Alaska Flag Song, passed

served with the Territorial De

itself will perpetuate the memory
of Marie Drake more than any
monument—no matter how high.”
SWEDES MAY DRIVE ON
RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD
STOCKHOLM <*> — Swedish
officials figure it will cost the
equivalent of $80 million to get
motorists to drive on the right
side of the road—instead of the
left.
Parliament will vote in April or
May on the proposal to reverse a
250-year habit. If it’s approved,
Swedish drivers will follow the j
right side of the road like every
one else in Europe except the
British.
Costs will stem from the need
to change traffic signs, recon
struct some highways and rebuild
tramways.

News Management of
Government Could Be a
‘Chaos and Great Danger’
WASHINGTON — The State
Department’s Public Affairs di
rector says both the government
and press attempt to manage the
news and if they did not there
would be “chaos and a great dan
gerous state of affairs.”
Asst. Secretary of State Robert
Manning said Sunday he meant by
news management an effort to
bring coherence out of a welter
of facts. “Quite a bit of an at
tempt is under way, both in jour
nalism and in the government, to
arrive at this coherenec,” Manning
said.
A former newsman who also di
rects press relations for the State
Department, Manning got into de
finitions of news management in
a taped television interview.
Some Republican critics of the
Kennedy administration have been
bearing down heavily on the is
sue of alleged news management.
Manning said he believes the
press ought to have unlimited ac
cess to information on which U.S.
government policy is based. He
said management of news for
“purposes of distortion” does not
exist “to any intended or import
ant degree in this administration.”
If it does, he said, it should be
eliminated.
Dr. James McGiffen Due

Dr. James McGiffen, education

kindergarten classes.
