German Editors
i *
Develop In Seefin
Fifteen German editors whose bus
iness it is to keep a finger on ,the
pulse of German public opinion
praised ike Anglo-American air lift
highly on arrival in this country and
predicted that the tense Berlin situ
ation would not lead to war.
The editors, here on a grant frOnr
the Rockefeller Foundation, given at
the request of Dwight D. Eisenhow
er, president oft Columbia university,
will spend six weeks in the United
States discussing their problems with
American newspaper and magazine
editors. Approximately half of their
time will be spent in the conference
rooms of the American Press Insti
tute at Columbia uinversity.
“The last few months have given
the German people ample evidence
that the United States and Britaih
mean business. Now the’people know
which way they have to go,” said
Helmut Meyer-Dietrich, chief editor
of Berlin’s Der Tagesspiegel.
None of the IS editors disagreed
with Mr. Meyer-Dietrich’s prediction
that war would not develop out of
Soviet-western friction in Berlin.
“The Russians realize that they
cannot win a war against the western
powers,” he said. "‘However, they
also realize that the West is not unit
ed now and that it has some weak
points, such as France, Italy and
sometimes England. They are taking
advantage of the disunity to press for
advantages in Berlin.”
“The German people are deeply im
pressed by the air lift,” declared
Werner Friedmann, chief editor of
Munich’s Die Abendzeitung. ‘“The
man in the street reads stories about
it with great enthusiasm because he
knows that America will fight now to
defend freedom. Until a few months I
ago he wasn’t sure.” |i
“Until the air lift started, we were ’ j
never sure mat we umtea orates ]
would make a lea! effort to fulfill its ;
promises,” said Hans-Norbert Finkel, ;
political editor of Dena, German
news agency. Mr. Finkel spent ^nost 4
of the war years in the United States (
as a prisoner of war and attended j
democratization courses at Fort <
Eufl^is, Va., before returning to Ger- j
many in 1946.
All 16 of the editors come from ]
the western zone of Germany where, 1
they said, they are not exactly under (
military censorship but admitted they
live in^anxiety that they may be |
found guilty of criticizing the Amer- 2
ican military authorities in a “malf- t
cious manner” and have their publi- <
cation license suspended. Only two
or three Communist papers in the f
British zone have been suspended ]
thus' far, they said. . ]
The German people, after 12 years 3
of Hitler propaganda, are extra sus- <
picious of any kind of propaganda, *
they reported. The SJtate Depart- t
ment’s “Voice of America” program '
Is not popular for this reason, they 1
said. , ' . ^
An editor of a monthly journal^
published in Frankfort spoke of the
plentiful material about the Soviet
union compared with the scarcity of
factual material about the United
States. Because of the dollar short
age, he said; there is little money a
vailable for sending to the United
States for newsapers and magazines.
All of the editors said they were
having difficulty in getting young
Nazi-educated Germans., with proper
objectivity for a free press.

Kiwanis Carnival Becomes
Exposition; To Be Indoors
Like Shakespeare, who said that a
rose by any other name would smell
is sweet, Parmville Kiw^nians be
lieve that their annual carnival will
provide just as much fun and enter
tainment if it were called an exposi
tion.
So—the 1948 model, Kiwanis Ex
position: will take the place of the
carnival, which for' the past two
years has provided wholesome enter
tainment for BarmwUe folks and, at
the same time, swelling the club’s
scholarship fund, from which: loans
are made to worthy high school grad
uates- desiring to attend college.
John Council Parker, who heads
the 1948 steering committee, report
ed to the Kiwanians Monday night
that hie committee had devised a lot
of fine plans that corid be carried
out better indoors than out. So the
club voted to have it indoors, at a:
date that will be set as soon as a
svent, since the committee plans te
have booths and exhibits arranged
to display the products of various
Farncvilie businesses. It was alsc
suggested that it might be wise t<
Change the name because of th<
stigma attached in these parts to th<
word carnival. , .
By a vote of the club, the cfcrniva
becomes an exposition, but the mem
bet* want the public to know tha
the 1948 edition, will provide the Sana
fun: and entertainment as the. prev
teas editions—regardless of name.
John Jones, new maaager of th|
local Bose’s store, was installed as i
