WEDNESDAY, APRIL

ICKES DIRECTS PRESS ATTACK AT COLUMNISTS

‘My Good Intentions’ Ignored, He Says; Slaps Pegler, Praises Clapper.

NEW YORK, April 12 (U. P)— Secretary of Interior Ickes renewed his criticisms of the press last night, aiming at columnists, some of whom he termed “calumnists—ex-reporters who waste good white space to spread injurious gossip and disseminate prevarications and even unpublished libels.” He addressed the Newspaper Guild of New York. CBS broadcast the speech. He mentioned by name or nickname most leading columnists, referred to some of them in an original verse, and digressed into seripture to give his opinion of Walter Lippman, as follows: (Revelations, 3-5 and 16) “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would that thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou are Ilukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.”| “Dictators and Newspapers”

“I have been interested in ‘wo subjects—dictators and newspapers,” he said. “ They have many things in common. For instance, both have failed to credit me even with good intentions, “Some newspapers print in the masthead pious declarations about the high moral level on which the paper is edited, while disclaiming responsibility for the mental emanations of a ‘calumnist.’ A syndicated column may serve as an escape for a publisher who is willing to print under the name of a ‘calumnist’ matter that he would not dare to publish in his respectable news columns.” Some of Mr. Ickes’ characterizations were: Gen. Hugh Johnson: “Westbrook Pegler said . . . of Old Irenpants . .. that whom the general loveth he chastiseth . . . for my part, I would that he loveth me much, much less than he does. . . . One cannot but wonder whether Old Ironpants . . should be given space in newspapers to throw out his chest, flex his muscles and do nothing but punch, punch until something drops.” Pegler Against Everything

Westbrook Pegler: “While Johnson is against only those numerous public officials who are bungling affairs that he could so competently manage, Pegler is against everything and everybody according to his whim. The Marian Anderson wha is ‘an obscure singer,’ according to Pegler, is the Marian Anderson whom other, but doubtless less competent critics have acclaimed as having the best voice . .. in a century.” Mark (“Pontifex Maximus™ Sullivan: “He would be missed for his personal dignity and charm, even if the world would still manage nicely without the pontifications that waddle through his worried columns.” Dorothy Thompson: “The Cassandra of the columnists has both conviction and vigor. However, much will be forgiven Dorothy Thompson in view of the really fine stand she has . . taken on the subject of dictatorships abroad.” Hevwood Broun: “One of the few who are really liberal. He does not have to have a victim served up raw to him every day as do those who fight the battle of black reaction.” Raymond Clapper: “One of the fairest, most objective and most intelligent of all.” Mr. Ickes suggested that the Guild could insist upon “just and fair professional standards, particularly for the columnists.”

Mental Millstones are Going |

Out of Style

Too often we have met a person who was content to wear defeat like a millstone round his neck. How refreshing it was to see him resolve to use his neck to hold up his chin! Then he saw a failure for what it should be— not a millstone but a milestone on the road to long-range achievement. It’s how well he carried on that was all-impor-tant. He had looked defeat in the face and no longer feared it. Nor would he let mild success lull him into lazy contentment. Hewas ready for his full share of the glorious opportunities that America alone can offer him. He went swinging down the highway with the courage of youth—the spirit of America.
