His world of two thousand years ago also echoed with the sounds of armed marching cadence and the leather-lunged shouts of legions.

Christmas night must have been balm for their spirits and warmth for their hearts. The words and the sign that they foretold, of a babe lying in a manger a king of kings in the humblest of blazed star of Christmas itself in the minds of men for all these centuries.

It is a light that will not be dimmed, a guidepoint timeless in its promise, which men have illumined their way through the darkness of these many years. Other legions march today, other evils press upon us, and the very heavens are pierced by the glowing sparks that man himself, for good or ill. has flung across the firmament. But still. aUive the marching and the rhetoric, the message of promise comes through clear for all who will hear and in which to find comfort in a momentous hour.

We still may hope, and work for peace, good will toward men. Phil Pastoret This Newspaper Wishes You A Memory Rep.

The sense or informed judgment of people, which we trust in he contends, has been undermined by censorship, secrecy and promotion.

The press has failed to inform the public and the government has kept secrets, he maintains, lie cites specifics, like the Central Intelligence spending of to influence elections in other nations. These things are known to the people of the countries where the money is lie suggests why not by Americans who are paying the Americans developed a trend toward conformity, says Douglas and have fostered violation of constitutional rights of individuals by many interests for their own ends or prejudices.

The press, said Douglas, cover the Pentagon adequately can it report truthfully on the CIA." In broadening its report, he charges, the press has sought plan lowest common that is, it has aimed its report at a low level of readership, and it tends to skip the controversial or to touch it only lightly. As a result, he maintains.

Inherent in bis charge is the suggestion that the only basic solution is in a change of attitude by Americans, for their preferences and demands determine finally the character of the press and the amount of secrecy which government officials can use in screening politically sensitive actions.

The implications ot control of the nation are huge and serious. They will never be clear to persons who do not do serious reading in depth about the subject and the trend seems to be in the other direction in the mass media a capsulization of information so the reader with a minimum of bother can be superficially informed on a great variety of subjects. The typical American of the story, who knew more and more about less and less until finally he knew everything about nothing, is a far out symbol of a national problem. The press will always be a mirror of a culture as well as a contributor to it. may scold journalistic trends our critics do the same thing creative criticism will not change these things.

They are the result of our industrial age and our relations to the rest of the world and the whole complex of our living and culture. It is not realistic in this age when the citizen can understand so little of the complexity, to think that if the newspapers publish learned think pieces about all the problems that the citizen will then inform himself fully and bring the weight of his new knowledge to their solution. Our need for an improved system of communications which will help the citizen identify the elements of leadership serving best interests. Justice Douglas is one of these elements, but lie is able to contribute to the solution of this problem only the worthy suggestion that we need some new aids to the solution of our new problems. His booklet is specially helpful in its confirmation the continuing report that our Federal Government is more and more secretive and distrustful of the American genius for self government.
