"While 1 was a prisoner of the ; Communist Chinese, we were git en the feople s woriO ot isan r ran ctsco and ine New YorK and Con don Daily Worker, it took some analysis to arrive at the truth. "For example, in reading reports 1 of battle casualties in Korea we found that if we switched the an nounced figures for Communist casualties and U.N. casualties, we could get a fair idea of what was going on. "These papers had no real news about the U. S.. just a lot of stories, about lynchings and race riots. And no comics. The Chinese said such things were decadent. "They told us the U. S. Press J was a tool Of Wall St. "But we showed them that Amer ica was the only country where the press could call the President a stinker and get away with it. "They wouldn't believe us. They said we were blind to the facts. "I don't read our papers just to find out what happened today. I like to know what is developing | in political affairs, both here and in other countries, so that when something happens that appears on the front page under L?g head lines, I'll know what it's all about "I like to read about home town f happenings, but I think our local papers could give a Better presen tation of world events that most people don't know about ? events that really affect them.
