The Mayor of Detroit has something to say about newspapers: "Without newspapers, rumors multiplied!"

This is the year that Detroit welcomed back The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News after the longest major newspaper strike in United States history—- — days. The papers closed their doors between November 1967 — four months after Detroit’s severe civil disturbance in July of that year — and August, 1968. The lack of the press during this period heightened the tasks of city government. One tremendous problem developed quickly: The rise and multiplication of rumors which carried widespread apprehensions throughout the metropolitan area. Without the papers, the city moved on extraordinary measures to ease the tension fed by confusion and lack of facts. One measure taken was the establishment of a Rumor Control Center. Now, the Free Press and The News again are independently observing ,and reporting the city’s daily life. It is my hope that confusion will slacken, and progress will quicken in solving the city’s many complex problems. Metropolitan ills deserve the best effort that all concerned people can bring to bear in finding solutions. All newspaper people are aware that the Kerner Commission Report reserved some of its strongest language for the mass media and the methods by which they covered the riots of 1967. The commission noted the “significant imbalance between what actually happened in our cities and what the newspaper, radio and television coverage of the riots told us happened.” It stated its concern that “millions of Americans who must rely on the mass media. . .formed incorrect

JEROME P. CAVANAGH Mayor, City of Detajit impressions and judgments about what went on in many American cities last summer.” The tough job of trying to report in a fair, accurate and balanced fahsion is familiar to all newpaper people. Half a story may make exciting reading and may boost the reputation of an individual reporter, but it does nothing to deepen the knowledge, understanding-, or 'judgment of the people newspapers serve. The independence of newspapers and “Freedom of the press” are not at issue here. The issue today is the neces-

sity — as never before — to have a nation not only well informed but accurately informed. That is the issue. That is the great role of newspapers today. — Jerome Cavanaugh, Mayor of Detroit SIX ARRESTS IN MILFORD A total of six persons have been arrested in Milford recently, and fined in justice of the peace Harry Dale Doty’s court.
