FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
Despite recent graft scandals, we believe that
most cf our Federal employees are loyal and honor
able citizens and that most of them are making a
sincere effort to serve efficiently and honestly.
In line with this belief is a statement from the
president of the rational Federation of Federal Em
ployees in which he sets forth the policies of that
organization and suggests means of combating cor
ruption in government. The statement Is timely and
to the point and we reprint it, in part:
"Current revelations of malpractices in the Fed
eral nice must be viewed with the most serious
disquiet.
"It is not enough for Federal employees to assert
the self-evident truth that the overwhelming majority
of the men and women in all Federal departments
and 'agencies are loyal devoted, honest and efficient
In the performance of their duties.
"Federal employees not only must be free of
every form of official corruption: they must go beyond
that and avoid any semblance of it, however remote
and however apparently innocent. That is implicit
in their acceptance of public service.
“Furthermore, Federal employees in every position
mils', have the courage to withstand pressure, whether
from within or from without, for actions which in any
nay are contrary to the public Interest and not up to
the highest standards of official morality.
"This is the clear duty of all Federal employees.
The vast majority of Federal employees do live up to
this exacting code of conduct.
“But both morale and morality in the Federal
service have declined and all too obvious evidences
of the spoils system form the basis of most of the
present difficulties.
"Competent, vigorous and upright administrators
can keep the Federal service clean. It is upon them
that the resppnsibility rests.”
VIEWS AND REVIEWS
Herbert Morrison, British Foreign Secretary:
“We shall not try to impose our conception of one
world on anyone by force.”
Paul G. Hoffman, President, Ford Foundation:
“The danger of Communist penetration and dis
ruption has been compounded by the spread of panic.”
Clement It. Attlee, British Prime Minister:
“We shall be with those who are with us and
against those who are against us.”
Millard F. Caldwell, Civil Defense Administrator:
“We are going on the theory that if we are hit
by Russians, we will be hit by atomic bombs.”
Lawrence M. Watson, Major, U. S. Air Force:
“We've got to conserve our Thunderjets so that
in case of war, we won't be caught short.”
Alben W. Barkley, Vice-President:
"Neither political party in this country possesses
a monopoly on virtue, personal or collective.”
Buell G. Gallagher, Assistant-Commissioner of Edu
cation:
“To study about Communism is not the same
thing as to be indoctrinated in it.”
Gordon Dean, chairman, Atomic Energy Commission:
"I think in the next decade, you will probably
have a plane in the air, the power for which comes
from a reactor.”
Charles E. Wilson, Defense Mobilizcr:
“Failure to employ persons simply because of
physical defects is a waste this nation cannot afford.”
William II. Ruffin, President, National Association of
Manufacturers:
“Industry has learned that it is good business to
employ physically handicapped and older workers.”
Henry M. Jackson, Member of Congress, fromVWash
ington:
“Fortunately, we have a commanding lead over
the Soflet in the atomic arms race.”
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)
state of public opinion. Unquestion
ably also the great majority of
newsmen in this country are anxious
to protect the truth of the press
as well as its freedom; for with
out the first the second cannot
survive.
Therefore, let’s look at some of
the facts in the Jessup hearing and
see how brazenly some of them
* were twisted by certajn publishers
with political axes to grind. Take,
as an example, the two biggest
cities in the United States—New
York and Chicago—and two news
paper groups that control a big slice
of their circulation.
“WORLD’S GREATEST PAPER”
One of the “world’s greatest news
paper,” the Chicago Tribune, with
a million circulation in the heart
of the midwest, which also controls
the heaviest circulating newspaper
in the U.S.A., the New York News
(Sunday circulation 4,123,276), to
gether with the Washington Times
Herald.
The other is the New York World
Telegram, published by Roy How
ard, high-ranking Republican and
bitter critic of the State Depart
ment, who also publishes 18 other
papers from Pittsburgh to San Fran
cisco and who is one of the largest
stockholders in the United Press.
In contrast to the New York Tim
es and the Herald Tribune, which
w'ere objective, here is how the
World-Telegram 'lived up to its
obligation of a free and truthful
press in reporting the debate over
Ambassador Jessup.
On October 7—Harold Stassen ac
cused Ambassador Jessup of lying.
Jessup had sworn under oath that
he did not attend a White House
conference at which cutting off aid
to Chiang kai-Shek was discussed.
“This matter goes to the heart of
the veracity of Jessup,” Stassen in
sisted with great .vigor. He stated
that his memory of a conversation
with the late Senator Vandenberg
was “crystal clear;” that Vanden
ber;: reported Jessup was present.
Sta en demanded that Vanden
ber , diary be produced.
The World-Telegram played up
this story, critical of Jessup, on
page 1.
JESilL’LP WASN’T THE LIAR
On Oct. 9—The State Department
showed Senators confidential docu
ment.-; regarding conversations with
other governments on the recogni
tion of China. Even GOP Sen. Alex
ander Smith admitted that they
showed Stassen to be wrong. Jessup
had not favored recognition of
Communist China.
This story, favorable to Jessup,
the World-Telegram buried inside
on Page 10—though failing to re
port that Republican Senator Smith
supported Jessup on this point.
On Oct. 10—Warren Austin, a
rock-ribbed ex-Senator from Ver
mont, now ambassador to the Uni
ted Nations, stated that UN records
allowed Jessup to have been in New
York on the date Stassen claimed
he was at the W hite House confer
ence on China. This completely re
futed Stassen’s charge that Jessup
was a liar.
However, the World-Telegram,
after playing up the Stassen charge
on page 1, buried Austin’s refutation
deep inside the paper way back on
page 28.
On Oct. 15—General Eisenhower
confirmed Jessup’s statement that
on Feb. 5, 1949, the date of the
conference on China. Jessup
was in New York conferring with
Eisenhower on extending his leave
of absence from Columbia Univer
sity. This again made Stassen the
liar, not Jessup. The World-Tele
gram carried this on page 5.
VANDENBERG’S DIARY
Meanwhile, Senator Vanden
berg’s diary had been made public,
showing that Jessup was not at the
White House conference—despite
Stassen’s statement that his mem
ory was “crystal clear.” Stassen had
also claimed: “This goes to the heart
of the veracity of Jessup.” But des
pite this, Stassen kept bringing new
charges, while his friends on the
World-Telegram kept on featuring
them.
WJ1 KJV t. 11-Otaaacil LTIcUliL'U tliai*
Ambassador Jessup had urged re
cognition of Communist China at a
State Department round-table dis
cussion. He demanded that the re
cord of the meeting be published.
“Every lactor in my recollection of
the round-table meeting can be
substantiated by the' transcript,”
said the ex-Governor of Minnesota.
Next day, Oct. 12—The State De
parment promptly published the
transcript. It showed Jessup had
taken no part in the discussion,
that the State Department actually
had opposed recognition of Com
munist China, and that those fav
I oring recognition were private citi
zens, led by business executives
William Herod, president of the
export branch of General Electric,
and William A. Robertson of Am
erican and Foreign Power, one of
the biggest utilities on Wall Street.
Despite this, the World-Telegram
next day featured an editorial
blasting the State Department. The
same issue also carried a United
Press report that “Stassen offers
new evidence against Jessup,” to
gether with a glowing feature story
on Stassen’s career from poor farm
boy to Governor of Minnesota un
der the headline: "Harold Stassen’s
career is a real-life Horatio Alger
story.”
The same issue also featured a
glowing eulogy of Stassen’s book,
though it turned out to be a mere
collection of Stassen quotations.
This is how one powerful publish
er stacked the news for the Amer
ican public, thus contributing to the
confusion of the reader, the intimi
dation of the Senate, and the diffi
culty of the great majority of fair
minded publishers to champion the
freedom of the press. The story
of another powerful publisher will
follow shortly.

Q. Must a man always rise to acknowledge an introduction?
A. Almost always, yes — whether he is being introduced to a man
or a woman, old or young. An exception would be if he were seated
at a banquet table and were being introduced to another person across
I the table from him. This introduction he can acknowledge just with a
smile and a “How do you do?”
Q. How is baked potato properly eaten?
A. Usually by breaking it in half with the fingers, scooping all the
inside of the potato onto the plate with a fork, and then mixing butter,
| salt and pepper in it with a fork.
Q. At a widow’s second marriage, her first husband being deceased,
I should she invite the family of her former husband?
A. Yes, indeed, if the relationship has always been pleasant. Further
I more, these people should make every effort to attend.
