PRESS UPHELD BY MINISTERS IN DRY DEATHS Liquor Slayings Not Colored, 'Wet Press’ Misnomer, Pastors Claim. Newspapers of the state ?nd nation are not so much at fault on the question of prohibition as critics of the press would have you believe. This was the consensus of opinion of leading ministers of Indianapolis in commenting on remarks of Seymour Lowman, assistant secretary of the treasury, to the effect that newspapers colored stories where dry agents killed citizens, but played down slayings where dry agents were the victims. The symposium shows the following beliefs: That public sentiment molds to a great extent the news stories given space in city dailies. That the newspapers strive to be accurate, fair and truthful in, their accounts. That the term “wet pres-,’’ is a misnomer. The symposium follows: The Rev. William F. Keefe, Holy Rosary Catholic church: “I think if the press emphasizes the killing of citizens by dry agents that it is a proper emphasis. The sale, possession of liquor, isn't a crime that warrants death and. to begin with, isn’t a crime.” “Have Shown Fairness” The Rev. Floyd Van Keuren, Christ Church Personally I’ve never observed discoloration of news on the prohibition question. The newspapers have given both sides of ■ Rabbi Morris M. Feuerlicht, Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation—l certainly don’t think the press colors stories of prohibition killings. A good deal of comment is needed to call attention to a moderation of the existing laws. Newspapers deal with the si .tying of citizens by dry agents from the angle of their dramatic news significance. The Rev. Grover C. Leonard, missionary superintendent of the United Lutheran church—l don’t notice any undue coloring of newspaper accounts of killing of citizens by prohibition men. If there is a little shading it Is governed by the public taste and desire of the press to give readers the news. Two Criticise Newspapers The Rev. E. P. Jewett, Madison Avenue Methodist church—l think newspapers make every effort to give readers the truth and both sides to the recent unfortunate deaths that have resulted in enforcement of the dry laws. The Rev. Orien W. Filer, superintendent of Indianapolis district of Methodist Episcopal church—The press does play up the color cases like the one 'in Aurora. 111., and Minnesota. You read more of the citizens slain by drys than dry slain by bootleggers. The Rev. G. I. Hoover, secretary of Indiana Christian Missionary Association —Candidly. I think too press “plays up" the wet side of the question.
