Roundtable Discusses ;
U. S. Newspaper Role '
In Broadcast Series h;
]
By th# Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 3—The role
of the newspaper In shaping the, ι
political, economic and social struc
tures of the United States was de-i
scribed as "enormous" today in the
first of a series of short-wave round
table discussions to be beamed to
foreign nations over the State De
partment's international broadcast
ing facilities.
Participante in the opening broad- j
cast were Turner Catledge, assistant
managing editor of the New York:
Times, and Floyd Taylor, director
of Columbia University's American1
Press Institute.
Mr. Catledge said the American ι
press "is playing an enormous role:
today in shaping our views concern- j
lng the things that are heppening1
In the world," and added:
"In a free society, and particularly
In connection with the operation of
a democratic government, free and
full lnfurmatkm to the public is ab
solutely, indispensable."
To Correct Distortions.
The fipriAs rtealincr with nmaraHnns
end problems of the Nation's news-·
paper industry, will be broadcast on
four consecutive week ends to Latin
America, Europe and the Far East.
A spokesman said the broadcasts
were "designed to answer many
questions of persons overseas, and to
correct distortions about the Anyr
lcan newspaper industry."
Asked by Ben Wilbur, discussion
chairman, whether advertisers in
fluenced the publication of news,
Mr. Taylor replied that he had
worked on metropolitan newspapers
for 25 years and never had encoun
tered an example of it.
Mr. Catledge agreed with Mr. :
Taylor, adding that "as a matter of ;
fact, it is so much to the contrary
now, that an advertiser knows bet
ter than to even try it."
Elaborating on the newspaper's
role in a democracy, the Times
executive said no substitute existed
"for information freely gathered,
freely written and freely presented
by private facilities."
L&f Behind Public Seen.
"I would like to emphasize that
latter," Mr. Cattledge said, "par
ticularly in these days when we
seem to have some conflct between
private and Government enter
prise."
The principal "justified" complain
gainst the press in general. Mr.
'aylor said, was that m recent
ears it tended to be a "trifle" more
onservative than the public.
The series will be translated for
e-broadcast in many of the 25
mguages transmitted over the
Voice of the United States of
imerica," the State Department
aid.
The opening discussion, dealing
;enerally with large da;ly news
papers, was broadcast to the Carib
jean area, Latin America and the
Par East tonight. It will be trans
mitted to Europe tomorrow.

Our records reveal that an amazing number of engineers and technicians
choose Pontiac for their personal cars. t
One of America's foremost experimental engineers recently explained this,
•s he took deliver)' of a new Pontiac. "I believe," he said, "that Pontiac is the
soundest car built. It is in a class by itself for well-balanced excellence."
Year after year, this is true of Pontiac. While its engineering is always pro
gressive, no feature is ever included in Pontiac design until it has been
thoroughly and completely proved. You can take delivery of a new Pontiac
any year with the certain knowledge that it will serve you long and dependably.
So regardless of when you expect to get your next car—make it a Pontiac. An
extraordinary number of people "in the know" will support your choice.
• · »
THE SOONER YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER for a new Pontiac, the earlier you will
get it. So place your order now for future delivery. And remember—you'll get more
for your present car when you trade if you take good care of it now.
