American Press Is
Discussed Today
By Grant M. Hyde
%‘;fi The influence of the American
1 as an organ of information
éfla gaining, but as an organ of
gmflnlofi its power is less felt to
‘day than in former years,” Grant
M. Hyde asserted today, speaking
to University students.
~ Director of the University of
fWLsconsin School of Journalism,
Mr. Hyde directed his remarks to
g#tudbnts in the Henry W. Grady
‘School of Journalism. He was in
?irnduced by John E. Drewry, di
rector of the Grady School.
. The speaker replied to critics
of the press by saying ‘“any press
s the reflection of its readers.
The population buys newspapers
gwluntarily, and the news printed
is in accord with their interests.”
. He said, however, criticism is
good for the press just as criti
cism of the government by the
press is good. He referred his
‘audience to the presidential elec
tion of 1936: |
~ “J¢ is said that 55 percent of the.
newspapers was against Mr. Roose- ‘
velt and 45 percent was for him. |
From this it was concluded that‘
the power of the press ‘was wan
ing.
: Cites Fallacy
“phe fallacy in this reasoning
was the fact, mnot always recog
nized by critics of the press, that
the average readers of newspapers
do not regularly read the editorial
pages.
“In this case I think they were
won over to Mr. Roosevelt by the
daily news dispatches, which were
probably as fair as any history
has recorded. If the editorial
pages of many newspapers in 1936
were torn out, 1 don’'t think you
could have discovered their edi
torial sentiment.”
Mr. Hyde analyzed the rise of
the American press to point out
why he drew such conclusions as
he presented. He said some critics
expect too much of the press, not
realizing its modern complexity.
Besides the triumph of the
news pages over the editorial page,
the speaker gaid the disappear
ance of personal journalism has
had much influence on modern
newsparers. He charged the old
editors 'with partisanship .
Also, he cited mass circulation
as a great influence on the char
acter of the press. Newspapers
today, due to great advances in
general education, are printed for
the average persons and are sen
sational.
Journalistic Breach
There has been a breach be
tween the metropolitan and the
rural press, Mr. Hyde said, nam
ing another factor. He called
“eross-road journalism” a dis
tinctly American institution, and
he said its methods were often
higher than those of metropolitan
journalism.
The equcator said ther2 has
never been a free press. The press
is free, he stated, just so long as
it behaves as society ‘wants it to
hehave, apd he again threw re
;gponsibllity on the public because
“jt buys newspapers voluntarily.”
" Mr, Hyde described news agency
competition as healthy. The rival
1y of the Associated Press and the
United Press, he said, largely
‘eliminates errors and fakes In
news.
He called advertising a ‘“back
hand method of financial support,
and the best ‘'way yet devised.”
Advertising, he said, does away
with governmental or other con
trol and is wealthy enough to sup
port great mechanical progress.
Mr. Hyde said the radio has
helped rather than hurt newspa
pers, because it gathers its news
from newspapers and newsraper
agencies.
He said America is now in a
valley before a mountain of sensa
tionalism. He predicted a crime
wave, after calling the last de
cade “the dirty twenties.”

The YM.CA As
An Institution
] By DR. J. W. JENKINS
The Young Men’'s Christian As
sociation, as a general movement,
is about ninety-four years old.
When it was launched in London,
England, it met such a fundamen
tal need, and was so soundly pro
moted, that it spread over the
civilized world in a remarkably
stable and fairly rapid growth,
Today it is a leader among those
,human organizations that foster a
democratic brotherhood of spirit.
I There is nowhere a national or
world-wide. ¥. M., C. A, Tbere
are only local associations, indé
pendent, reflective of local beliefs
although loosely cooperative
through advisory regional secre
taries. The name of the Y. M. C.
A. is made of four ordinary words.
Contemplation of the meanings of
those four words is the only way
of comprehending the significance
and general policies of the move
ment. We think of the Y. M. C.
A. as tending to be a well-round
ed character building force, prin
cipally propelled in a spirit of
Christian evangelism; but a sur
vey of the tremendous plant and
program of this movement in many
relations reveals tha{, the term Y.
M. C. A. is roughly comparable,
in its generality, with such terms
as Public Library, or Welfare Cen
ter, or Civic Center. It is less di
viding, more unifying, less specific
than are most churches and than
are most organizations usually
thought of as being in the same
general field.
Sihoe a' Y, M. C. A, is not
controlled and directed by a cen
tral human organization, it must
constantly stay on its toes to
keep from drifting into being
what it ought not to be. It must
be alert to remain true to its
name. A consequence is that a
Y. M. C. A. may be revolution
ized over night. It is '‘what its offi
cers and its members are, and are
doing. It is actively Christian n
its work to the extent that its
leaders are, and in the same way.
It partakes of the nature of an
athletic club to the extent that its
constituency believes in such
forms of character development.
Great Tradition
The Young Men’s Christian As
sociation has a great tradition. Its
history is replete with mighty ac
complishments and with inspiring
names. The mind of the veteran
association worker is flooded with
the memory of many noble lead
ers such as Richard Morse and
John R. Mott. The long develop
ment of the work has been in the
hands of a personnel of unusually
high character. Those who have
spent much time about the chief
association training centers of this
country, such as the Y. M. C. A.
College at Springfield, Mass., or
the summer encampments at Blue
Ridge, N. C., Estes Park, Colorado,
or Lake Forest, Illinois, have
known a host of city secretaries
who were leading influences for
good in their respective communi
ties,
~ Few, if any, associations charge
;membershlp fees adequate to fi
‘nance their entire programs. This
would deny the service to many
who most need it. Furthermore, a
religious enterprise is more art to
be vital in a worth while way, if,
through it, people definitely help
others. An old Latin writer once
said that God divided man into
men so that they could help one
‘another. Humanitarianism has
been of the characteristics of the
association movement. In May,
1916, in the Cleveland Armory
three thousand delegates from the
Y. M. C. A’s of the world met in
triennial convention for policy
forming actions. On that occasion
an excellent address of encourage
ment and approval ‘was delivered
by the vigorous young Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, Franklin
Roosevelt. He stated that a city
should support its Y, M. C. A.
lwholeheartedly and fully.

brought a proposal today from
Senator Byrd (D.-Va.) to accom
plish the same result through a
constitutional amendment.
Byrd, a frequent critic of the
President’s policies, said he would
arpear before the senate judiciary
committee to urge approval of his
amendment. Elimination of the
present exemptions, he said, would
result in:
“A substantial increase in reve
nue, a broadened revenue source
base, a move in the right direc.
tion of tax burden equalization,
elimination of special privilege and
tax evasion by those best able to
pay, a greater incentive for pro
ductive investment . . . and a
reduction in the incetive for gov
ernment extravagance.”
Mr. Roosevelt soon will send
congress a special message on the
tax exemption question. He told a
press conference last week he
thought exemptions could be re
moved by legislation under au
thority of the 16th constitutional
amend, which says congress ‘“shall
have power to lay and collect
taxes on income, from whatever
source derived.”
Court Decisions
In the past, Supreme Court de
cisions have been considered by
many legal authorities to be a
barrier to such legislation.
Senator Ashurst (D.-Ariz.) has
predicted, however, that the court
would “perform a flip-flop” to ap
prove the legislation.
Byrd, in a statement, said his
amendment would remove income
tax exemptions from 800,000 fed
eral workers who receive more
than $1,500,000,000 a year and
from 4,000,000 state and local

Two-Color Stamp
For Air Mail
Week Is Issued
ATLANTA .—A distinctive, two
color air mail stamp will be is
sued by the United Stateg Post Of
fice Department as a special rec
ognition of National Air Maii
Week, May 15-21, which will be
the greatest effort in the history
of this service to increase its ef
fectivenesg and popular support.
An announcement today at Na
tional Air Mail Week general head
quarters by Major Paul R. Younts,
executive chairman, said this stamp
will be. symbolic of the Air Maii
and should be highly desirable for
the many thousandg of collectors
who will send and receive letters
on the special flights that week.
Major Younts said he has heen
informed by Postmaster General
Farley that thig stamp will be of
six-centg denomination, the same
size as the commemorative issues.
The border, of distinctive Air Mail
design, will be printed in blue and
the central design will be in red.
Thig design will depict an eagle
with outstretched wings, bearing
in its talons a shield, olive wreath
and a bundle of arrows. Numer
ous ornamental details have been
included in the over-all design.
Thig stamp first will be placed
on sale May 14, at Dayton, Ohio,
which is the home of the Wright
Brothers, who built the first suc
‘cessful airplane and at St. Peters
burg, Fla., where the first passen
ger flight wag made. On the fol
lowing days of Air Mail Week, this
stamp will be op sale at many
thousands of Past Oficers through
out the United States.
“The National Air Mail Wiek
Committee regardg as particularly
‘thoughtful the cooperation thatthe
Postmaster General and the de
partment are giving by the issue
of this new stamp,” said Major
Younts. “While the Air Mail Ser
vice is essentially a practica] ac
tivity for the benefit of our na
tion’s business and society there
remains a certain romance and
sentiment in this service, just as
there is at once gentiment and
practical purpose in our national
defense activities. Of course, the
realization is general throughout
ithe country that aviation is essen
itial to our national defense, but it
alsn, is true that the still further
development of the peace-time air
mail service will increase our na
tional solidarity and safety.”
