In Detroit a few months ago, all papers pertaining to a case in the U.S. District Court there were ordered "suppressed." This action was taken under a rule, propounded by four of the six judges of the court, which permits any of them to "suppress" the record in a civil suit.

Detroit newspapers, in an invitation to the federal judges to cite them for contempt thus paving the way for a higher court's decision on the questionable rule printed what information they could get about the details of the "suppressed" case. But the four judges sidestepped the issue by holding that they did not believe that the published material came from the files of the court. The newspapers were accordingly held free from contempt But the people's "right to know" in a nation which guarantees that the freedom of the press shall not be abridged is still denied by these judges.

President Eisenhower said that the creation of an independent commission would run counter to the recommendations of the Hoover Commission on Government Reorganization calling for a consolidation of similar functions. Congressman John P. Saylor, Johnstown Republican, who was active in sponsoring the 1958 bill which had the backing of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Development Commission, has announced that a new measure, designed to overcome President Eisenhower's objections, will be introduced within a week. It will provide for a $2,000,000 appropriation to finance the research program under the direction of the Bureau of Mines, which is an agency of the Interior Department.

Pennsylvania's coal regions nearly all fall into the category of distressed areas. Industry leaders believe that extensive research made possible by adequate funds would result in the development of many new uses for coal and its by-products, thus giving a. "shot in the arm" to the coal business whose steady decline ha? damaged the economy of these areas in our state. Since the 1958 bill passed by large majorities in both houses of Congress, it is expected that the new measure will get similar support. We hope that if and when this happens, President Eisenhower will give the bill the approval which he has tentatively promised.

Senator Morse, according to his own admission, is strongly opposed to Sen. John F.

Kennedy of Massachusetts, in the latter's bid for the nomination. His opposition to Senator Kennedy stems from the youthful! Senator's support of the Landrum-Griffin labor reform act, which Morse considers to be a reactionary measure. Since Senator Morse has no love for Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, who is also a candidate for the Democratic nomination, it is possible that he is entering the Oregon primary in an effort to kill off both rivals at the same time. It is a singiilar fact that Morse has been able to switch his party allegiance at will and still retain his standing1 with the voters of Oregon.

He placed particular emphasis on the fact that the Russians have made no concessions whatsoever in down-to-earth moves to bring about a lasting peace with this nation. It was not difficult, listening to Mr.

Scranton, to sense the tremendous awareness the State Department has of the need to stay constantly on guard against a Russian change of policy, or, to put it plainer, a "get tough again" approach to the U.S. Mr. Scranton told one story that Illustrated the world-famed warm personality of President Eisenhower. It came about one morning at the U.S. Embassy in Paris while the President was in that city.
