No need to move just because you need more room. There are
many ways you can find room-for-improvement by remodeling
your present home. Your unused attic or basement can easily
be changed into a bright new bedroom or den. Or you can

Danger in intellectualism;
newspaper asked to lead the
way in recovery from fear
It’s “Government Open House”
and you're invited! Good govern-
ment is your business, take an in-
terest in it—speak up — make
yourself heard.
MADISON, WIS.—“The duty
of the press at this moment is
to show the way to recovery from
the blight of fear and cautious
conformity,”
With these words, Newspaper
Columnist Marquis W. Childs call-
ed for greater freedom of expres
sion, in an address before the
University of Wisconsin school of
journalism golden anniversary
banquet.
“There has been far too much
defeatism ... I believe that the
press in America today has the
greatest opportunity it has ever
had to help point the way back to
sanity,” Mr. Childs said.
Signs today indicate, he said,
that the wave of irrational fear
and blind reaction which threaten
democracy is abating.
He cited as examples “the stead-
fast way in which President
Eisenhower has refused to be
stampeded by the demagogic ele-
ments in his own party,” and the
fact that many newspapers have
stood out against the hysteria of
recent years.
After Mr. Childs’ address he
received, with five others, a
citation for distinguished achieve-
ment from the University of Wis-
consin. Mr. Childs was graduated
from the university in 1923.
Expressing the hope that ex-
amples of courage and steadfast-
ness will be contagious, Mr.
Childs, columnist and St. Louis
Post Dispatch staff writer, said
great damage has already been
done by the anti-intellectualism of
the fear and hate mongers.
“In large areas of government
service,” he said, “fear, caution
and the irresponsibility of evasion
and indifference have been en-
forced.”
Recovery will be slow, he pre-
dicted.
Saying there is not a greater
sense of responsibility in present-
ing the news, Mr. Childs noted
there are also grave threats to
a free and responsible press:
1. A rapid decline in the num-
ber of newspapers.
2. Political control and circum-

scription of information.
3. Failure of the press itself to
live up to its highest obligations.
Many public officials, he said,
have taken the attitude of “tell
them only whati is good for them.”
He named, as those who have
in one manner or another impeded
“the right of the people to know”
former President Truman, Presi-
dent Eisenhower, Sinclair Weeks,
secretary of commerce; Mrs.
Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of
health, education and welfare,
Herbert Brownell, attorney gen-
eral and Douglas McKay, secre-
tary of the interior.
The press itself, Mr. Childs said,
must do more to uphold freedom.
One of the principal areas in
which the press has failed, he
said, is in demonstrating convinc-
ingly its concern for the public
interest.
“There can be no attachment,”
the columnist said, “to the free-
dom of a catalog of grocery ad-
vertisements.”
A privately owned newspaper
must show a balance sheet in
black ink at the year's end, he
told the group, but the public
must be satisfied that the general
interest is served.
He warned against being afraid
of controversy.
“What is most extraordinary is
to find in press and radio those
who seem so frightened and in-
secure that they would drive out
every opinion that does not con-
form to their own narrowly re-
actionary standard,” he said.
“I would not,” Mr. Childs con-
tinued, “want to deprive the rad-
icals of either the right or the
left of their privileges of saying
within theb ounds of constitution-
al freedom what they please.
“And I might say in passing
that we sometimes forget what wTe
should have learned from the ex-
ample of Italy and Germany; that
there are radicals of the extreme
right just as ready to destroy
existing institutions as are the
extremists of the left. The Jacobin
can wear black as well as red.”
Pine stumps of
East Texas to be
useful purposes
Texas pine stumps were once
thought of as a nuisance. But to-
day, more than 170 different pro-
ducts are extracted from them.
Among these products are oils,
and resins used in paper man-
ufacturing, paints, inks and soaps.
How these stumps are gathered
and put to use will be featured
next week on The Humble Com-
pany’s TV program, Texas in Re-
view.
Other interesting films on the
program include a citizenship and
career conference in Longview;
the Border Olympics in Laredo;
and a style show in San Antonio.

AUSTIN—The citizens of Tex
as were warned that a construc-
tive water program prepared by
the Texas Water Resources Com-
mittee for the present session of
the Legislature is in danger of be
ing “hacked to death by selfish
and special interests.”
The warning came in the follow-
ing statement issued in Austin
Saturday by Senator Dorsey B.
Hardeman of San Angelo, chair-
man of the 9-man water commit-
tee:
“The constructive legislative
program of the Texas Water Re-
sources Committee today faces
the certainty of being hacked to
death if selfish interests are suc-
cessful in attaching crippling
amendments to some of the vital
water bills of the Committee now
before the Legislature.
“Unfortunately some of the
people back home are being mis-
led by propaganda of interests
who want to use more than their
share of public water and by
others who want to gain control
of the proposed State Water
Commission in order to promote
a program directed by a Federal
bureau.
“It is up to the people and
the Legislature to decide if a con-
structive program is to be adopt-
ed. The Texas Water Resources
Committee has presented such a
program in the eight bills and a
constitutional amendment intro-
duced early in the current ses-
sion. Those interests opposed to
improvements in our water laws
and to the proposed State Water
Commission immediately started
a campaign to hack the program
to death through nullifying
amendments.
“The Texas Water Resources
Committee was created by the last
session of the Legislature and
charged with the responsibility of
recommending improvements in
the State water laws.
“The Committee held hearings
with some forty different water
authorities, water districts, state
and federal agencies and other
groups interested in the over-all
water problem. Every effort has
been made to give every section
of Texas proper consideration
in the program recommended by
the Committee. Our committee
will continue to fight for a con-
structive water program.
“Texas is in its fifth year of
unprecedented drouth and there
is no indication of relief. The
drouth has demonstrated the need
for greater conservation of the
state’s water resources. Those
who have been hoodwinked by the
opponents of the Committee’s
constructive program will have
to answer to the people if the
bills are nullified by crippling
amendments.
“There is sufficient water in
our streams to assure the con-
tinued growth of Texas if we
provide storage facilities and ad-
ministration of priorities long es-
tablished by the Statutes.
“It is time for the people of
Texas to wake up and adopt a
constructive water program.”
