Courier-Journal Rated Near Top Among Nation 9s 7 55 Daily Papers jf if? ADOLPH OCHS No 'fear or favor' JOSEPH PULITZER Drastically independent' A pleasant form of lightning has struck The Courier Journal twice in a week.

America's topHO daily newspapers, selected by publishers in a private nationwide poll, were announced today by New York publicist Edward L. Bernays. The Courier-Journal was rated fifth among the 10. If you think you saw this same story last Monday you are almost right. On that day the magazine Practical English announced results of a survey conducted by Scholastics Magazines.

This one was among editors, and The Courier-Journal, though one notch lower, sixth, was rated relatively higher because 15 dailies were named to the list of "most superior" papers. The Baltimore Sun, listed in a 1952 survey of publishers by Bernays, was displaced by The Los Angeles Times among this year's top 10. Vote Percentage For CVJ. Rises Among the nation's 1,75,5 daily newspapers the top 10 this year, as released by Bernays, were: The New York Times. The St.

Louis Post-Dispatch. The Christian Science Monitor. The Washington Pos. and Times Herald. The Courier-Journal.

The Milwaukee Journal. The Kansas City Star. The Chicago Daily News. The Los Angeles Times. The New York Heralc' -Tribune.

The percentage of publishers voting for The Courier-Journal had increased from 38 per cent in 1952 to 39.54 per cent. The 10 leaders have a combined daily circulation of about 4.000,000 and a combined Sunday circulation of more than 4,500,000. Confined to no one section of the country, they covered an area from the Atlantic to the. Pacific. In both surveys by Bernays, publishers were asked to name the 10 papers that, in their judgment, "best live up to the ideals forth by Joseph Pulitzer, Adolph S.

Ochs, and Thomas Gibson." Smaller Dailies Are Praised Pulitzer was publisher of the old New York World; Ochs publisher of The New York Times, and Gibson publisher of The Rocky Mountain Herald, Denver. In announcing results of the survey, Bernays said: "An interesting and significant fact in the current survev is the frequency with which publishers pay tribute to the high standards and idealism of smaller dailies with only regional circulation. "Time and again, respondents emphasized in personal notes that they were sure there were many other papers in the country as deserving as those that would undoubtedly rank highest in a nationwide survey simply because the big-name 4 v. vr Staff Photo by Cort Bttt papers would be known to far more publishers than the smaller circulation journals." In both the 19.V2 and the I960 surveys, tlie following statements hy Pulitzer and Ochs were furnished the publishers as-tlie basis for their judgment on present-day adherence tn the criteria established by those famed individuals: Pulitzer, as the salutatory of The New York World, May 10, 1883: "An institution that should always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice and corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty." Ochs, on assuming control of The New York Times, August 18, 1806: "It will be my earnest aim that The New York Times give the news, all the news, in concise and attractive form, in language that is permissable in good society, and give it early, if not earlier, than it can be learned through any other medium. To give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interest involved; to make the columns of The New York Times a forum for the consideration of all public questions of public importance, and to that end, to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion."

Seven feet away, nearest the entrance and only some 10 feet from the outside was the body of Marvin Hall. His head had been crushed.

Arle Hall, a miner and mining contractor most of his life, had leased the rights to the coal and started the operation on the Mayo Young farm two weeks ago. The site is 200 yards off KY 201. four and a half miles south of Webbville. All 3 Of Neon Area All three men were from the Neon area.
