Correct information is invaluable to a free people and for keep ing a free people free. Few other nations of the world are as fortunate as the United States, which, through the wisdom of their forefathers, is le gatee of a heritage of freedom of speech, of assembly, of re ligious worship, and of the press. Maintaining of these freedoms has not always been easy, but they have nevertheless been maintained through the years. A free press is the cornerstone of the others. Without the disse mination of the news —factual information gathered by train ed professional newsmen — the other freedoms would soon be abrogated in practice, if not in the text of the United States Constitution.
