Editors told corporations world’s power structures
By JERELYN EDDINGS
ATLANTA (UPI) - Calling
large corporations the world’s
“power structures”, a former
member of the Federal Com
munications Commission said
Friday news of big companies
should be taken off the busi
ness pages of newspapers and
be given full coverage, a
Nicholas Johnson cited ITT
and Gulf Oil Company, saying
“Those are the centers of pow
er in the world today.”
Johnson addressed the Ameri-

ors on the final day of their
convention here. He warned the
newsmen of the “frightening re
percussions” of their failure to
cover some stories.
Johnson told the ASNE, “What
you don’t report has political
ramifications. It serves some
factions politically when you
don’t report on certain stories.”
He urged “Meet The Press”
type coverage of big business
with reporters “putting those
strong questions” they ask sena-
tors to corporate executives.
For example, Johnson asked,
“Why does the automotive in
dustry decide to make cars that
get 10 miles per gallon when
they could make them to get
35 miles per gallon?”
Johnson cited a case in which
he said the news media failed
to cover black lung disease
among West Virginia coal min
ers. He said the local media
had banned the stories on the
disease and miners had no idea
“why they were so tired” un-
til network television got hold
of the story.
Along with Johnson on a panel
discussing “Stories We Are
Missing” were New York Maga
zine Editor Clay Felker and
Fred Emery, chief U. S. corres
pondent for the London Times.
Felker, in discussing maga
zine covers most attractive to
the public, described a New
York magazine cover of Secre
tary of State Henry Kissinger
with a hawk’s beak.
He said; “Kissinger has
always been a hawk and he had
been fooling the press with his
winks and jests and bows.”
Felker said Kissinger would
lead newsmen to believe he
agreed with their attacks on
Vietnam but didn’t want to say
anything to anger Nixon.
“Meanwhile, he’d go back and
participate in ordering bombing
in Vietnam.”
Emery told the group Wash
ington news was dominating the
media. He said the heavy play
given to Watergate “confirmed
a trend toward allowing Wash
ington political news to domi
nate what is going on in this
country.”
Later during the convention,
former Secretary of State Dean
Rusk, in a question and answer
session, said he had second
thoughts about the “winability
of Vietnam.
Rusk, who served during the
Kennedy and Johnson adminis
trations, said it may take an-

other 10 to 20 years before any
one knows whether it was wise
/
to enter or leave Vietnam. “We
haven’t seen the end of that
story yet,” he said.
Rusk was reluctant to answer
questions comparing the Nixon
administration to past ones. But
he said referring to Watergate,
“I was inclined to believe the
two Presidents I served would
see to it that those under them
were not so stupid.”
Last Survivor
The last living survivor of
the Light Brigade, Thomas
W. Shaw, died on Dec. 10,
1923, at London, Ontario at
age 91. Wounded in the
famous 1854 charge during
the Crimean War, Shaw was
nursed by Florence
Nightingale.
Oldest Flag
The Danish flag, consisting
of a large white cross on a
red field, is the oldest
unchanged national flag in
existence. Adopted in 1218
A.D. by King Valdemar II
while leading a crusade, the
flag is called “Dannebrog,”
Jr “Danes’ cloth.”
