HOW NOW, TV?
At their recent convention, celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the formation of'their gorup, mem
bers of the American Booksellers Association probed
the effects of television on their bushineses. They
showed particular concern over what TV was doing
to children's reading habits. Two authorities in the field
agreed that television itself was not necessarily dam
aging to children, but the qualities of its programs
were. This seems to us like saying "That bottle of
poison over there won't hurt you if you don’t drink
any of it.”
Television, being the youngest and the least de
veloped of all the mass media, still lias to make up
its mind as to its ultimate aims. Right now it is in
the stage chiefly of being entertainment — or trying
to be. It has scarcely begun to realize its potenitialities
as a cultural medium; that is, as an instrument for
raising the standards of taste rather than for lowering
them. That it should be the object of agitation on
the part of competitors in the media of mass com
munication—radio, the movies and the, printed word
—can easily be understood.
THE MUKLUK TELEGRAPH
Volume 1, Number 1, of Alaska's newest newspaper
has reached the desk of The Empire through the kind
ness of Nome's Senator Charles D. Jones.
The new paper is "The Mukluk Telegraph,” the
Arctic's Greatest Newspaper, published in Kotzeblie,
Alaska, by the Aero Trading and News Service.
To the publishers of The Mukluk Telegraph, The
Empire extends good wishes and congratulations.
News of the Arctic villages—Point Hope, Kivilina,
Kobuk, Candle, Oeering, White Mountain, King Island
and, of course, the Mukluk's home of Kotzebue is well
! covered and interesting.
We appreciate the publishers’ difficulty in getting |
10 press the first issue of The Mukluk Telegraph. We
should warn them that difficulties probably will con- i
i tinue to occur. They do with The Empire, we find. j
1 But a publisher is always an optimist. That next
issue must reach the street. And somehow it always
does. v
There are times, however, when we could wish
| that we were publishing twice a month as is The
j Mukluk Telegraph instead of daily.
Boycott Weapon
_
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
The Soviet Union's delegate to the United Nations
Trustee Council found 29 minutes of the proceedings
the other day quite enough, so walked out. The issue
was the usual one: The defeat of the Russian request
for the expulsion of the Chinese Nationalist delegate
from the Council, which is one of the four basic
organs of the United Nations.
The only possible conclusion to be drawn from
this is that the Soviet Union intends to stick by its
guns on the question of Nationalist China. It is more
than likely, also, that, Trygve Lie, the General Sec
retary of the United Nations, was apprised of this
fact on his recent visit to Moscow. Although he has
been very guarded in his statements since his return,
he has given the public to understand that complete
Russian cooperation in the United Nations rests on j
some contingencies, the Chinese Nationalist matter
being one of them. •
I The Russians, having placed a boycott on the last
i two sessions of the Trustee Council and evidently, j
j having grown tired of the monotony of it, sent their
man back to stage a walkout. If nothing else, this 1
shows that there must be some limit to the effective
ness of the weapon of boycott.
Some of the current neckties look like the result
of a collision between a double rainbow and the
J Aurora Borealis.

Should war break, Attlee also
wants it understood that British
bombers shall have the right to
drop A-bombs. He is quite content
to leave atomic bombs in American
hands up uAtif a ®war*Wbaks; 'Kiff
after that, he wants British bomb
ers to participate.
So far the United States has
made no commitments one way or
the other.
Conflicting Stories
Partially conflicting stories as to
why we were caught off base in
Korea were given the Senate ap
propriations committee this week.
Secretaries Achson and Johnson
admitted we had been caught nap
ping, but Adm. Roscoe Hillen
koetter, chief of the central intel
ligence agency, read two reports
to the senators, one dated as late
as June 20, showing that his in
telligence agents had given a gen
eral warning. .
When Acheson and Johnson ap
peared before the Senate committee
in a secret session, Ferguson of
Michigan asked both point blank
whether they had received any
word of the impending attack. Both
said they had not
“It was a complete surprise,”
Secretary Johnson replied, and
hinted that central intelligence was
to blame.
Both men told the senators they
knew that the North Korean border
was restive, but said the actual
invasion had taken them completely
by surprise.
"Why wasn’t central intelligence
on the job?” Senator Bridges, New
Hampshire Republican, broke in.
“They get - dollars from
Congress. What are they doing
with it?” ■ Bridges mentioned the
exact amount voted for central in
telligence, but later withdrew the
figure as secret. I
Secretary Johnson shrugged his
shoulders. “You’ll have to ask Ad
miral Hillenkoetter," he said.
Secret Reports
The admiral was promptly sum
moned to appear before the Sentae
committee in closed-door session at
3 p.m. However, he did not ap
pear. Later, it developed that he
had been called to the White House.
At 4 p.m., however, he arrived be
fore the senators bringing two sec
ret reports warning of possible at
tacks on Korea.
One was dated August 1949 and
told of continuing activity along
the border. The second was dated
June 20, 1950 and told in detail
of increasing border incidents, in
cluding a concentration of 65,000
to 75,000 Communist troops. These
troops, according to report, were
well equipped, with artillery, tanks,
guns and ammunition of the type
which the Japanese army .surren
dered to Russia. There were also
a total of 195 planes, all late Russ
ian models.
When questioned by senators,
Admiral Hillenkoetter admitted he
could not forecast the date of a
border Invasion. SMtml'Hetf along
. I
the border might have continued
another year, he said, or the in
vasion might have come the next
day. It was not his job to eval
uate reports, he said, merely to
make them.
Note—a series of reports on
Korean unrest and border activity
had actually reached the State1
Department some time ago and
I Ambassador John Muccio, acting
| on them, made a special trip to
I Washington to obtain extra mili
itary supplies. The supplies, chiefly
artNftry' 'to resist 'Russian tanks;"
were due this week.
Nc Russians in Korean Attack
Asked by senators whether the
Russians were participating in the
North Korean attack. Admiral Hill
enkoetter said the Russians had a
large military training center on
he northern side of the border, but
he had no report of a single Rus
sian soldier in combat, killed or
captured.
•'Furthermore," he said, "I don't
expect any.”
Senator Knowland of California,
great friend of Chiang Kai-Shek, i
then asked if the Russians might
next attack Formosa.
"They might strike Formosa as
'hey did Korea," the admiral re
plied. "The attack might come
most any time.”
"How about July 15?" asked Sen
ator Knowland.
"Yes, it might come any time,”
(the intelligence chief admitted.
Note—it was one day later that
President Truman ordered the 7th
Fleet to protect Formosa from
Communist attack.

Political-i io-Round
It will probably be denied, but
Governor Dewey does not plan to
support Lieut. Gov. Joe Hanley for
he New York GOP gubernatorial,
nomination. Hanley, now 72, was
nvestigated by a grand jury in
1944, and, thaugh cleared, some of
i he facts would make campaign
'.mmunition for the eDmocrats. Be
sides, Dewey wants to see a liberal
Republican in the governorship . . .
Dewey has been offered a partner
ship in the law firm of Hughes,
Hubbard and Ewing, of which
Oscar Ewing is a Democrat and
Federal Security Administrator.
Though doing an A-l job. Ewing
is hated by the doctors. Jlis senior
partner. Charles Evans Hughes, Jr.,
died last winter . . . Frank Hogan,
the New York District Attorney who
jailed gambler Frank Erickson, is
being talked of as a Democratic}
candidate for governor . . . First)
man to congratulate Secretary Ach
eson after his talk to the governors
at, their White Sulphur Springs
! conference was Dewey. They spent
a couple of hours together, during
which Dewey confided that he neve
believed the charges of Communism
in the State Department and, now
that he was leaving politics, he
I wanted to say so. He also said
he thought Acheson was doing a
fine job as Secretary of State . . .
Acheson was so surprised he almost •
spilled his drink.
