"THE RIGHT TO KNOW"
(Industrial News Review)
Freedom of the press is a
basic freedom. It is the main-
stay of all the other freedoms.
Yet there has been a growing
fear that this freedom is in
danger, because of governmental
restrictions on the movement of
the press to sources of informa-
tion, both in this country and
abroad, because of the with-
holding of information to which
the public and the press which
serves it has a right to know,
and because of punitive regula-
tions aimed at newspapers and
other publications.
The American Society of News-
oaper Editors has now issued a
Declaration of Principles. This
tates: "The American people
, have the right to know, as the
heirs of Magna Charta, the in-
heritors or the privileges and
immunities of the English Com-
: non Law and the beneficiaries
of the freedoms and liberties
guaranteed them by the Consti-
! tution and the Bill of Rights of
the United States.
' To exercise this right citi-
zens must be able to gather in-
\ formation at home or abroad.
1 except where military necessity
i plainly prevents; they must find
j it possible to publish or relate
! otherwise the information thus
! acquired without prior re-
| straint or censorship by govern-
ment; they must be free to de-
| clare or print it without fear of
j punishment not in accord with
i due process, they must possess
1 the means of using or acquiring
implements of publication; they
should have freedom to distri-
bute and disseminate without
obstruction by government or by
their fellow citizens."
The Society has pledged itself
to resist by every appropriate
means every encroachment upon
the people's right to know.
FARM ACCIDENTS COSTLY
(Exchange)
A fall on the farm or ranch
can cost a rural family imore
money than a fall in prices on
the agricultural commodities mar-
ket, according to the Texas Safe-
ty Association.
The association points out
that falls are leading source of
all injuries to farmers and
ranchers in Texas.
However, injuries from all
mishaps are expensive. I n
fact, a recent study shows that
the average medical costs of such
injuries run $105 per accident.
Piled on top of this is, in many
cases, the necessity of hiring ex-
tra labor or suffer a serious loss
of production, besides pain and
discomfort.
j Common sense and good house-
I keeping can substantially re-
'duce hazards, according to the
'Texas Safety Association.
Around the yards and corrals,
'pick up loose wires, boards and
| scrap metal. Don't allow nails
' or hangers to protrude unneces-
sarily. Keep hand tools in safe
racks. In the home, keep stair-
ways clear of objects and well-
lighted. Have a step-ladder or
kitchen stool handy for reach-
ling high places. And. don't
j carry a 'lazy man's load' that
, will block your walking view.
MORTGAGE ON THE FUTURE
(Exchange)
Senator Byrd. in pointing out
that the proposed federal budget
is the largest in the nation's
peace-time history, said, "It
mortgages, so to speak, the fu-
ture prosperity of the country
. . . This budget continues en-
trenched spending and opens up
new federal programs ... I
would be unfaithful to my own
conscience . . . if I did not de-
nounce this budget as one of
the most dangerous and one of
the most perilous budgets that
has ever been presented to
us. . .

ory; the chances they have had
to see, hear, and know what
they have testified to; their can-
dor; the reasonableness of their
testimony.
Witnesses often differ in de-
tails due ,to their different op-
portunities or powers to ob-
serve, or their memory of what
they saw, heard, or did. In
view of these differences, try
to reconcile gape, when you
reasonably can.
Consider wny n witness may
make untrue statements: Is it
because of confusion, nervous-
ness, mistakes, poor memory,
thoughtlessness, lack of intelli-
gence, or evil intent?
The law assumes that the
common sense and experience of
12 men will be more reliable
than that of only one, in find
ments offered by witnesses in a
trial. The conclusions of the 12
jurymen will be safer and wiser
because of the broad background
of education, age, profession, and
experience brought to bear on
disputed matters.

i "Reliance on government is
Imore than an insidious disease,
lit is the robbing of men, first of
their initiative and finally of
their freedom. Whose bread I
eat, his song I sing,' comes to
us today as a warning proverb
from the England of long ago
when men were fighting."—NEW
CAMBRIA (Mo.) LEADER.
". . . We are dealing in 43
cent dollars today. That means
that for every dollar we paid for
life insurance during the past
few years, every, dollar we paid
on a mortgage and;; every dollar
we put in the bank is really
worth less today than half of
what we paid out."—LAMBERT-

HOW TO JUDGE A WITNESS
As a juror, you are a jud ;e
of the evidence presented at a
trial. In order to reach a proper
verdict, you have to decide what
to believe and what not to be- strength
lieve. One person can't believe
two diametrically opposed state-
ments.
Buf, alas, there is no fool-
proof way to sift out the true
from the false Lacking a sure-
fire truth detector, our jury sys-
tem is the best method yet
found.
So the ;urors must consider
factors affecting the witnesses'
credibility so far as the evidence
discloses them—age. education,
work, or looks and conduct on
the witness stand, relationships
between the witness and the
parties; stakes in the trial's out-
come; bias, if appears; the
