Tl ie By licrald (iunny Giintlirup The Manchester Guardian, one of the most famous newspapers in Britain, recently -began dcvtiting its first page to news rather than to classified advertising. 'To most Americans, this would seem the obvious thing to do. Not so to the British readers who were accustomed to seeing nothing but advertising on the front page of the paper. Most Americans would object to such a practice, contending they buy newspaper for news, not for ads.

THE GUNNY SACK: Win- page, There is something to be said for this point of view. American newspapers and their readers tend to adopt a "front-page" psycholoiy. The average a reader tends to assume that all the Important news Is on the first page and thus Is likely to Ignore equally Important news appearing on the Inside pages. Too many people, in fact, tend to read only the headlines and the opening paraffraphs of stories on the front pare and thus get a distorted account of the news.

It would be well if Americans, like the readers of the Manchester Guardian, began deciding for themselves which are the important news stories. It is a mistake to assume that the really important news is behind America's said. Bottlenecks and congestion hamper the movements of all types of highway traffic, costing tremendous sums time.
