A Free Press The following letter was received by the president of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association during its French Lick meeting Saturday from Gov. Matthew E. Welsh. “I am disturbed at an apparent effort by supof the American press and other news media. “Am you know, I would never advocate placing the news media beyond critictan. Their unique position in the fabric of democracy demands selfcriticism by journalists and intelligent and constructive review by the pqblic. “It is my strong belief that day-by-day in the greatest number, the men and women who insure this nation the best informed public in history do adhere to the finest traditions of honest and competent journalism. “Individually, in their various capacities, Democrats have and will continue to criticize the performance of journalists in particular instances. To do less would grant no favor to your profession. Tall trees do not grow in a greenhouse. “But, the Democratic Party never will attack and attempt to discredit whole segments of press, radio and television newsmen. Such conduct strikes a severe blow at the channels which carry the information and lifeblood of this nation’* democratic processes. “I suggest to you and your colleagues that the forces supporting the Republican presidential nominee have as their goal the effective neutralizing of any organ of news or commentary that does not agree with their views. "By raising the spectre of a dictatorial press they hope to blunt legitimate criticism of their candidate and their overall campaign. By strongly implying that large segments of the news media can not be trusted, they hope to prepare the ground for future repetition of the now oft-heard charge of "misquotation” of their candidate's public utterance*. This chorus of Republican complaint, rising even before the national campaign has begun and emanating from some of the highest councils of the party, signals that American poyrnalists and their profession will be at issue in the coming months. I trust that you and your colleagues across the nation welcome the chattenge thus laid down and that the decision of the electorate shall, at least in part, be a tribute to the incalculable debt this nation owns its independent and responsible broadcasters and its strong • and free press. - Sincerely, Matthew E. Welsh Governor

Electoral College Reform Is Urged

By LYLE WIIJWN Called Press International Much more than the composition of the legislatures of the 50 states Is involved in the Supreme Court's one-man-onc-votc i uiins which now is being disputed in Congress. The one-man-one-vote rule would apply equally to the election and allotment of presidential 'electors among presidential candidates. Any citizen could file suit in federal court demanding for himself or others common justice in conform ity with the Supreme Court's one-man-one-vote. It is a wonder that some common .man has not already done just that because the little guy who files the suit surely will reap some fame for himself and a foot note niche in U.S. history., The citizen presumably would win. And the present system of alloting each state’s Electoral votes on a winner-take-all-basis would be sunk without a trace. Trying For Reform The importance of this is that some members of Congress have been trying for years to reform the electoral college. Their proposal would cut racial, labor and religious pressure gr<+ups down to a size commensurate With their numbers. It would deprive big American cities of their present overwhelming influence in shaping presidential platforms, in the selection of presidential candidates and in the election of presidents. As things now stand, a popular vote majority of one in New York state is sufficient to give the winner all 43 of New York’s electoral votes. Racial, labor and religious pressure groups tend to concentrate in the great cities. New York has been described as an area typical of bloc vote control. There is a great bloc or pressure group Monroeville Plans Horse Show Friday The Monroeville Saddle Club will hold a horse show Friday at 8 p.m. at the Monroeville fairgrounds.

U.S. Gains From Aid .

By DAVID E. BELL Administrator, Agency for International Development (Secund of Two Article*) Over the years our foreign aid program has changed to meet a changing challenge. But its overall objective has remained constant: to help

nations of the free world achieve economic growth and independence. We have found that whenever this objective hns been reached, our own economy has benefited. The countries we have helped have provided us with better markets for our exports and better opportunities for our private business investments. This has heen strikingly evident in Western Europe where ILS. exports have more than doubled in the last

ten years. It has been equally evident in Japan where U.S. exports have quadrupled since 1950. Under the Marshall Plan, for example, we shipped quantities of American coal to Europe where it had been little used before. Today, although economic aid has long been ended, Europe still buys our coal. Surplus American agricultural products shipped to Japan to relieve food shortages and help Japan’s recovery after World War II opened another market: Today Japan Is the largest single cash customer for American agricultural exports. In the last year alone, Japan purchased more than $650 million In U.S. agricultural products including non-fat dry milk, cotton, soy beans, raisins, currants, hides, skins and tallow. ■ In the developing countries there are already signs that trade is following aid, as it did in Europe and Japan. For example, during the past five years U.S. commercial exports (not aid-financed) to Israel increased 76 percent. We are making progress but the world is still a dangerous place. Most of 'its people live in Asia, Africa and Latin America and most of them still live today in conditions of hunger, disease and poverty. It is more than a matter ofi«sound business for us to provide through the AID program, a portion of the goods and the technical help they need to overcome these conditions. It is a matter of fundamental humanitarian concern—and a "matter of our own national security in the broadest sense of that term. For we cannot expect to have the kind of stable and progressive world in which free institutions can survive and flourish, unless the people of the less developed countries can, like ourselves, look forward to continuing economic and social progress. Foreign aid is really no longer an exclusive boon for impoverished nations. Our experience for the years since World War II shows that helping our neighbors around the world is an effective and dramatic way to stimulate the U.S. economy. The U.S. foreign aid program has truly become a “mutual aid program.”

concentration in three great New York cities, New York City, Buffalo and Rochester. One, two or more such concentrations largely determine the presidential vote in 11 other states. They are: California. Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Missouri, Wisconsin, Maryland and Minesola . These 11 states plus New York represent 260 electoral votes, just eight shy of enough to win the White House this year. Sen. Karl E. Mundt, RS.D., Sen. Thruston B. Morton, R-Ky., and others propose to reduce electoral college inequalities by means of a constitutional amendment Presidential Districts It would provide for election to the electoral college from presidential districts in each state, these conforming roughly to existing congressional districts and in the identical number. Each state also would choose two electors at large. Thus each state would 4iave fn the electoral college then as now as many votes as it had representatives and senators in Congress. If that system had been in effect in 1960, Richard M. Nixon would have been elected with an electoral vote of 282. according to calculations of the American Good Government Society of Washington, D.C. John F. Kennedy in 1960 won all 148 electoral votes of New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas and Michigan. Under the proposed system, it is calculated that Nixon would have won in New York 19, Pennsylvania 15, Illinois 14, Texas 8, and Michigan, 10. He also would have shared the electoral vote in several other states. Kennedy would have gained at Nixon’s ex[>ense in an even dozen states, but —it would not have been enough. I'SfflHMI The Mundt-Morton system would help the Republican party and hurt the Democratic party, which is strong in the great urban centers. But that is of no matter if the winner-take-all system is. in fact, unconstitutional. Some little guy should bring .suit.

Casting Shipments Higher This Year During July, shipments at gray ductile and high alloy iron castings increased 8 per cent over the same month a year ago. according to a continuing monthly survey conducted by the .Gray Iron Founders' Society, of which the Decatur Casting Co., is a member. In disclosing this figure, Donald H. Workman, executive vice president of the iron castings trade association, commented that, according to the sample survey, the industry’s operating rate was 77% of ideal capacity for the month, up 18% over the July, 1983 figure. This ideal capacity is a theoretical measurement of the level at which a foundry produces and ships castings most efficiently. In the Northern Indiana area, July shipments were 68% of ideal capacity, down from the June ’evel of 94%. During July, 1963, Northern Indiana area shipments were 64% of ideal capacity. Workman noted that while July is traditionally a vacation month, the iron castings sales outlook for August and for the remainder of the year is highly optimistic. He predicted that castings shipments for 1964 would reach 13.7 million tons with a net value of $3.5-billion compared to 128 mililon tons and S3-bililon last year. If these projections are realized, dollar value of industry shipments will increase by almost 17%. Survey figures for the year to date indicate that tonnage is running 5% ahead of last year. By ycar's end it should rise to 7%, Castings produced from gray ductile and high alloy irons a r e used extensively as components in the automotive, machine topi, agricultural, construction, mining anebmost other industries.
