But Soth values this "farm" for its "living value." It's place where he can wear shorts when he wants to wear them, where he can raise chickens, have a big lawn and a big garden. It's only 2f) minutes from downtown Des Moines. This suburban living does call for two cars one to keep his a. m.

to 5 p. m. office hours and another for family transportation. Soth's major interest newspaper work goes bark to high hool days when he started working as a printer's apprentice on the Holstein Advance. Student Editor He first wrote editorials as editor of the student paper at Iowa State Coilege.

In ini. he won an award for an editorial defending the R. O. T. C.

program in colleges. Soth thought it had disciplinary value for students. He wasn't much of a prophet, however. He thought the R. O.

T. C. wasn't of great value so far as national defense was concerned because there was no possibility of another big war. He didn't anticipate serving four years in the war, which was less than a decade away. He got a bachelor's degree in agricultural journalism and a master's degree in economics at Iowa State.

He was in charge of the college's economic publications from until he entered sen ice. Much of his army service was with the field artillery at Fort Sill. Okia. He was overseas for a vear. In Okinawa he was with the 96th Division which engaged in 45 days of! fierce fighting with the en- trenched Japanese.

I Soth works closely with Kenneth MacDonald. editor of The Register and Tribune, and confers with him frequently. There are se en editoi lal writers and copy editois and two uotoomsts on the edito- rial page staff.

Soth empha- s.es that eilitonais express; the opinion of the paper, not the individual. i Soth is blunt in deflating bombastic statement a attltlu.es. 'He and "nonsense" aie favorite words under these circumstances. Seldom does he resort to artillery language. Impresses Views He expresses his ideas about the function of the editorial writing department this way; "Our principal job is to inform and explain and interpret.

We try to express our opinions as forcefully as possible but we think our opinions of lesser importance than explaining the news and putting it in the proper perspective. We also believe in giving our readers viewpoints that differ from our own." Soth's hobbies include gardening, golf (he shoots in the low 80s), bunting and fishing. He has gone on canoe portage trips for four years.

The citation mentions that the award was made not only for this one editorial but also for other editorial comment on the Kussian exchange. Two of Soth's predecessors, i as editors of the editorial page, W. W.

Wavmaik and Forrest W. Seymour, also won the award for distinguished editorial writing. In ail eight Ruliter awards have been received by members of The Register and Tribune oigan-i a i ion Made Many Talks Soth has made more than talks since his Russian trip.

Barre Lyndon, author of the screenplay, portraying in terms of action, suspense and pageantry the life and times of the eleventh century poet-astronomer-man of action of Persia, has skillfully interwoven lines from "The R.i-haiyat" into love scenes between Omar and the gentle Sharain, played by Dehra Paget, and where Omar, advisor to the court of the shah, speaks to the all-powerful ruler, characterized by Raymond Massey. Jon Hall I- 'Iz-nmU' llfl-VIMVJIII HOLLYWOOD, CAL. Hall, who a five year kiss-less period in television, is embarked on a new venture, but with romance this time His new series is called "Knight of the South Seas" 'in which Hall plays a sailing skipper who travels in the romantic South Seas.

It's mostly adventure but there's lots of romance, too. Hall, who is financing the pictures himself, has come up with a novel plan. They are filmed in half-hour segments and in color. Three of the segments fit together for a full-length movie feature, if the television price isn't right.
