HOUSING AUTHORITY WILL BE DISCUSSED
A meeting of Indianapolis Home Builders’ Association will be called soon by Clyde E. Pike, president, to discuss the proposed Indianapolis housing authority, Joseph J. Klee, contractor, said today. Referring to the proposal as “another subsidized promotion,” Mr. Klee yesterday asked the Real Estate Board to oppose it. He said that construction of 2000 family units should be done with private capital instead of Government grants. George T. Whelden, Real Estate Board president, said he would call a meeting soon to consider the resolution. Mayor Boetcher and City councilmen met with Walter E. Stanton, Indiana Housing Board secretary, last night at Indianapolis Athletic Club in an attempt to clarify the terms of the proposed authority.

His moderate, deferential attitude toward associates and employees brought forth a spontaneous tribute at ‘the conclusion of a conference of editors at French Lick, Ind. conference called to decide upon matters of national policy. The editors adopted the following tribute:
trolling stockholder and editorial director, a chief worthy of our undivided loyalty. - His attitude during the conference has been an invitation to the utmost freedom of discussion. "We were called here not to be instructed, but to be consulted. “The opinions of editors have been received -and given all the weight to which they- were entitled. There has been a complete absence of the exercise of the great arbitrary power which we realize he possesses. He has sought to meet the diverging opinions of the editors in all reasonable ways. His guidance and counsel have been instrumental in leading us to sound conclusions without the use of any compulsion. “He has deprecated all talk of yielding ‘to expediency in any matter. We appreciate the dignity and self-respect which result from af-

in his ideas of internal management and so liberal in his public outlook.” Associates always found that objectivity was one of Mr. Scripps’ salient qualities.
Stood for Democracy “When a man stoutly opposes my views,” he once said, “I am inclined to support mine the stronger’ for the instant. But if his arguments are clear and cors rect, as frequently happens, what else may I do but freely admit my error?” Mr. Scripps believed firmly in the bill of rights. He stood for democracy, economic as well as political. “We do not have to agree,” he repeatedly told his editors, “with the ideas of the people whose rights we uphold. A judge does not have

' Therefore, comparatively seldom should the headlines scream, “The story should ‘always justify the strength of the headline. ‘A newspaper should be an accurate picture of civilization as it exists.
