News Funnelling Policy Attacked By Roy Roberts
Washington, (INS)—Funnelling of government news through one source—the Office of War Information—was under severe criticism today.
This policy was attacked by Roy A. Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, who said during a radio forum that the American people want facts, not propaganda.
"I am not challenging the good faith or the patriotic efforts of Elmer Davis of the OWI," Roberts said, "But there is a mighty close line between facts and propaganda." Have Right to Facts
"Whatever we may do about the propaganda abroad, the American people have a right to demand and the American newspapers to insist upon facts—not propaganda — at home. It is awfully easy by the little, slight twist of wordings to change the import of any story; it is an awful lot of power to give one organization."
Roberts, new president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, participated in the forum with censorship director Byron Price; Basil L. Walters, executive editor of the Minneapolis Star-Journal and Tribune; Palmer Hoyt, editor of the Portland Oregonian; Wilbur Forrest, assistant editor of the New York Herald Tribune, and A. H. Kirchhofer, managing editor of the Buffalo Evening News.
Criticizes Censor
Walters emphasized the harm in withholding information which would be of interest to the American public and of no harm to the war effort. Kirchhhofer criticized the censoring of American newspaper comment in dispatches to Britain and elsewhere. Hoyt agreed with the policy of censoring mail to and from Alaska but said censorship should not be abused.
The editors, who were in Washington to attend the annual meeting of the society, praised Price and his office for intelligent handling of plays.
Mr. Roberts attended the University from 1905-07, and is a native of Muscotaot. He began with the Lawrence Journal-World in 1905, and became city editor. In 1905 he went to the Kansas City Star, and has been there since. He is a member of Alpha Tau Omega.
In May, 1934, Mr. Roberts was speaker at a convocation for the Don Mellett memorial lecture. He emphasized at that time that the one duty of a free press is to preserve individual liberty.

Legislators Plan Short Session
Topeka.—(INS)—With the deadline for the introduction of new bills a thing of the past, the Kansas legislature today settled down to argue proposals while the new measures were parceled out to the various committees.
Leaders are striving for adjournment by March 15, allowing the legislators a full month to wind up reports and debates on unfinished business.
Some legislative leaders today predicted that the old fight over whether osteopaths should be allowed to practice surgery and prescribe drugs would die in committee and never reach the House floor for a showdown fight.
The House reported quick action on the measure to put the state back on a pre-war time basis. Last week 67 members introduced a bill to back the clock to Central Time. Today the Federal and State Affairs committee approved the bill and recommended its passage.
The House Judiciary committee approved the civil liberties bill to allow anyone under arrest to confer alone with their attorneys without having the conference eavesdropped in any way.
The same committee also put its stamp of approval on the measure declaring all hotels of more than 50 rooms public utilities, placing them under state control for rate-making purposes.
