Probably few readers, accustom

The Star know the background of
the vast, world-wide organisation of
which this newspaper la a part.
Serves BLO Newspaper*
A cooperative, non-profit organ
iMtior of more than 1,360 leading
prwspapers—large and small The
Associated Press was created for
[he swift distribution of factual,
Hjective Information.
Light And Freedom
It pew out of an attempt In the
»r!y nineties of privately-owned
tews agencies, operated for profit,
c force monopolistic control of the
lews upon American newspapers.
Ihwlghted publishers rebelled and
it present organization was the
eault
Its Ideal is the ideal men hungry
br freedom have had since prlnt
ng presses were Invented, the Ideal
if the blind Milton in hte great
it against censorship: the truth,
accurate and fair.
Nowhere is the manner la which
The Associated Press operates bet
ter illustrated than 'n the Caro
lines with their wide variety of in
terests and a constant source of
all types of news.
The Associated Press is exclu
sively entitled to the local news ap
pearing in member papers, the ef
fect being to make each member
paper reporter also a reporter for
The Associated Press.
Aside from these, The AP has its
own reporters and editors at each
bureau point, checking verifying
and working with news very much
as do editors and reporters of
newspapers.
The Daily Star, and 49 other As
sociated Press member newspapers
in the Carolines—34 In North Car
olina and 18 in South Carolina—are
served by 38 full-time employees of
the service in the two states. Thli
teen of these men are engaged in
editorial and reportorial work, the
others in operation and mainten
ance of the automatic telegraph
equipment or as office help.
240 Newsmen
There are also nearly 200 spec
ial correspondents in various com-!
munltles throughout the Carolines
who send dispatches to The Asso
ciated Press by telephone and tele
graph.
Coverage for the two states is
centered In the AP bureau mt Char
lotte through which “trunk" wires
from New York to Atlanta operate
34 hour* * day carrying the news of
the world.
In addition to Charlotte, Asso
ciated Press bureaus are maintain
ed at Raleigh and Columbia. A
Carolina-trained newspaperman Is
on the regional staff of the Wash
ington AP bureau to cover stories
In the nation's capital of particular
Interest to The Star and other pa
pers of this area. This regional
service Is In addition to the reg
ular general service on newsworthy
Washington events.
State Capital Bureaus
The Charlotte staff selects from
the volume of news on the “trunk”
wires, those stories of particular In
terest to Carolina readers. These
stories are edited with an eye to
the needs of the Individual papers
on the North Carolina wire. Staff
men In the bureau also cover
events In that area for North and
8outh Carolina and other Associat
ed Press member newspapers.
The Raleigh and Columbia bu
reaus are concerned primarily with
the coverage of state capital news
as well as general news in their
areas.
No less Important than the staff
writers are the special correspond
ents located In every nook and
comer Of the state who are ready
to speed their news to regular AP
staff men for distribution over the
AP wire network.
Despite Its tremendous size, the
Associated Press is ipt an Imper
sonal thing. It Is fitted with care to
the special needs of the member
papers, by a breaking up of the
network Into regional circuits.
Thus, The Star, may obtain news
of Interest to Shelby and vicinity
although the story may be of no
Importance nationally.
Extensive Coverage
From the dally report of about
300,000 words per 34-hour period,
the stories of Importance to readers
of The Star and other AP news
papers in North Carolina are select
ed.
In the United States and Canada.
7.500 Associated Press reporters
and editors stand ready day and
night for any newsworthy happen
ing. There are 90 bureaus in the
United States, usually one in each
state and two or more in some,
staffed by trained editors and re
porters. Bureaus and correspond
ents are maintained in 252 princi
pal cities abroad, assuring readers
of The Star of foreign news gath
ered factually and objectively and
written the way American readers
want it.
The Associated Press news report
is not for sale to commercial or
other Interests and is available
only to members of the associa
tion. It is the only press associa
tion In the world serving newspa
pers exclusively. The tremendous
cost, running to millions of dollars
yearly, is borne by the members on
a pro rata basis.
Stringent precautions are taken
to assure the freedom of The As
sociated Press news report from
bias, prejudice or partisanship.
Thousands of trained eyes are con
stantly watching the news report
as a multiple check against any
deviation from strict Impartiality.
Hence, because of the nature of
the association, and because of the
extreme care taken, there can be no
influence by political or other in
terests, nor can there be bias from
the personal views of any group, in
The Associated Press report.
The editor of a great American
newspaper, writing in his own col
umns about The Associated Press,
said in part:
‘‘It is unique. No other nation on
earth has, such a service. Its inte
grity is as unquestioned as its in
dependence. No governmental hand
has ever pressed down upon it. No
hand ever can, for it is Intangibly,
lmponderably, the soul of American
' Journalism."
Prom today on, The Dally Star—
‘ through The Associated Press —
will be able to present in its news
columns a comprehensive, objec
tive story of the day's news—a dally j
record of history in the making.

Whether True- '
Or Not, Jonah
Was “In A Fix ”
Jonah was never inside a whale
at all and never meant to say he
was. declares the latest bit of Btb
licl Interpretation. When the proph
et related how he had been "swal
lowed up by a great fish,’’ he was
only using a figure of speech which
his contemporary hearers under
stood well enough meant that he
was In a pretty bad fix.
Nowadays the whale is In the
position of Jonah. Too many whales,
with too efficient ships and too
deadly killing weapons, are pursu
ing poor Iievlathan through ah the
seven seas, and cluster thickest on
his trail in the remotest part of the
world, away "down under,” in the
waters about Antarctica. A conven
tion of ad nations drew up a pro
tective treaty at Geneva in 1031,
which has now gone into effect.
Among the ratifying powers are
some that have no coastline at all,,
like Czechoslovakia and Switzer
land. and others whose direct in
terest in the whaling industry is
remote, like Turkey and Rumania
But the real masters of today's
whaling, Norway and Britain, have
ratified, and the United States,
though now having only a two per
cent stake in the total whaling in
terest, I—*, signed up also.
But there are a few notable hold
outs: the U. 8. S. R., which con
trols the greatest stretch of Arctic
.scacoast in the world, and Japan
always unwilling to yield any na
tional advantage whtever. A new
comer is Germany, which is sending
one of the greatest ships known as
a floating factory Into the field. A
recent banquet In Berlin featured
whale meat, as a promotion and
publicity stunt to build up the in
terest of the German people in the
new industry.
If these holdout nations should
plunge ahead without restraint,
killing whale with no bag limit at
all. they might be expected to undo
all the good effects of other pow
ers* treaty-sealed self-denial. But
the story Is not quite so simple as
that. Those floating factories are
terribly expensive things. Built In
sizes running up to 20,000 tons or
more, they cost a million dollars or
so apiece. Each must be attended
by from four to six smaller ‘ killer”
boats, which cost about *50,ono
each, bringing the total for each
unit up to something like two mil
lion dollars. That Is a lot of money
to gamble on any kind of fishing.
At present, Japan and Oermany
have only one floating factory each.
And both nations are as ‘ broke" as
can be. It remains an open question
whether they will spend great
speculative sums on whaling fleets,

when every murk «n£ fatfM int
ently needed to feed othttr'hungry
