Radio News Problems Discussed at KU Clinic
Forty-five radio newsmen attending the first annual Kansas Radio News clinic Friday and Saturday discussed the major problems in presenting the news today.
Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism opened the session by imparting Challenges to Our News, Media."
Dean Marvin divided the challenges facing news media into two groups: the challenge of meeting and the challenge of better news the complex problems of television coverage and interpretative reporting.
He said TV did more to bring national politics into the American home than any other medium but it was not self-sufficient. TV is not capable of covering a large political convention alone; the radio and press are necessary too, he said, because of technological problems and limitations facing TV.

Directory Available Tuesday

The question of better news coverage and interpretative reporting was also discussed. One of the reasons cited by Bill Bowers, news editor of KTTS in Springfield, Mo., for the lack of better newscasts was small 250 watt stations cannot afford news specialists, and must rely on the jack-of-all-trades.
The need for students trained in news with adequate radio work to enable them to go on the air was stressed by Jack Shelley, news manager of WHO in Des Moines.
The radio newsman present gave two reasons for the lack of more interpretative reporting; the lack of time for research and fear of the FCC. The radio unlike newspapers government, and radio stations are often of hearings, Wes Cook of KIUL at Garden City said.
Jim Monroe, news director of laxes its control. KCMO in Kansas City, Mo., pointed out that more interpretative reporting is growing as the FCC re-
"It is our duty to see the American public is fully informed of affairs both at home and abroad, from the highest level of Washington down to the lowest level of local politics." John Aspinwall, radio news editor for the Associated Press, said.
Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, discussed the "Legal Problems of Radio News." In the last speech of the clinic he pointed out that radio is less hampered by laws of defamation than the press.

Topeka—(U.P.)—Democrat gubernatorial candidate Charles Rooney has made public his income and taxes for the last six years.
The candidate told a nine-station radio audience yesterday that the "Arn gestapo" had violated the "sacred" privacy of his returns without legal process.
Rooney Reveals Tax Returns
Rooney said his Republican opponent, Gov. Edward F. Arn, had "diverted attention" from other charges by asking that Rooney's state returns instead of federal tax returns, be made public.
Rooney said a 1949 Kansas law made it illegal for the state income tax director or other agents of the office to divulge the particulars of tax returns "except in accordance with proper judicial order" or as otherwise provided by law.
Arn had written the director to make public his state tax returns.
Rooney said "I frankly and openly admit I failed to file my state income tax return for 1950." He said that only recently had he been notified by the income tax division of the failure, and that he then filed the return, showing no tax due on a net taxable income of $1,186.18 for 1950.
Reds Consolidate Indo-China Gain
Hanoi, Indo-China—(U.P.)—Communist Viet Minh rebels consolidated today their victory in the strategic northern anchor town of N'Ghialo while French military chiefs mapped their next moves to stem the Red drive.
Rebel troops, disregarding their losses, swept into the town 90 miles northwest of Hanoi late last week and overwhelmed its 600 French and Viet Namese defenders.
Yesterday communications were disrupted and weather conditions prevented observation planes from getting detailed information on expected Communist moves to regroup and press down the Red river valley toward this capital.
However, fears that the defending troops at N'Glhiao might have been massacreed in the bitter fighting were dispelled when an observation plane spotted a long column of prisoners being marched northward up the river valley.
