William Allen White Is Outstanding Editor
Dailas Morning News:
William Allen White, who has just been elected president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, has proved by his experience that an aspiring newspaperman does not need to go to a large city to achieve national renown. Mr. White has been honored by Presidents representing both major parties and has received honorary degrees from several universities. Fifteen years ago he received the Pufitzer prize for the best editorial written during the year. Now he is head of America's newspaper editors. But all the time he has stuck to Emporia.
Mr. White, who has just turned 70, has retained personal contacts with his readers that are impossible for more metropolitan editors and publishers. The fact that he is a grass-roots newspaperman has added much to the value of his advice to political and editorial groups. His recent election is a happy one for the American Society of Newspaper Editors as well as for the genial Kansan.
In the newspaper field, Mr. White worked his way up from the bottom. In college he learned to set type on a local paper and later worked as a reporter. He first gained more than local attention in 1896 with his vigorous editorial, "What's the Matter With Kansas?" Later, his short stories, novels, and books widened his range of readers, but he has remained a newspaperman and a campaigner. In 1924 his opposition to the Ku Khux Klan led him to become an independent candidate for governor.

Tom Pendergast was recently honored by an award of the insignia of the Order of Commander of the Crown of Italy. Time magazine hints that Pendergast used his influence in Washington during the Ethiopian War to frustrate a proposed United States oil embargo to Italy. Could it be possible that the award of the insignia is a gratitude gift?
Press Called Upon To Maintain Liberty
In an address before the annual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, Attorney Grenville Clark of New York City appealed to the press of the nation to use its power to maintain the civil liberties guaranteed by the constitution.
Abuses of official power are becoming too common to be tolerable in a country where true civil liberty is supposed to prevail, he asserted. "Many abuses are beyond the reach of the courts and must be rebuked by the force of public opinion alone."
He outlined the two most important steps that the press could take for the preservation of civil liberty. First, "to stand up for freedom of discussion and criticism not only in the press itself but through all other mediums of expression; and second, to resist abuses of official power from whatever source or direction that abuse may come."
But if the press is to become the preserver and defender of civil liberty, it has obligations and responsibilities to live up to. Mr. Clark
says, "In the long run, the freedom of the press cannot rely upon the decrees of court, but must depend on the support of public opinion; and consequently the press must earn and justify that support by keeping itself independent, clean, and responsible, and by measuring up to the high function that it exercises in our modern society."
Hairless cats have been bred by M. Eitenne Letard of the National Veterinary School at Alfort, France. Hairlessness, he proved, is a recessive Mendelian characteristic. But the scientifically-bred genetic experiments will probably remain laboratory specimens since no buyers have yet appeared.
