General Business

A concerted congressional effort to raise second-class postage rates was the chief problem facing the press in the spring of 1949. Another legislative question affecting the newspaper industry was the possibility of repeal or comprehensive revision of the Taft-Hartley Act and its effect upon the strategy of both management and labor. In other branches of communications, the commercial success of television manifestly was assured, thus providing press and radio with a permanent new competitor. The general business pause in the spring of 1949, between recession and further inflation, had its effect on advertising also. On the international scene, the long-awaited United Nations draft convention on freedom of information was submitted for debate at Lake Success, with both Britain and the United States expressing fear that the convention would be modified too drastically for them to accept. —W.

The Press

The invasion of North Africa by American troops and President Roosevelt's air trip to Casablanca marked the beginning and ending of the current period with resulting emphasis on newspaper coverage of that theater in articles on the press and communications. The government's suit against the Associated Press on monopoly charges attracted a great deal of interest. Censorship of stories going out of this country to England aroused some concern. Advertisers and media, not too displeased with the 1942 showing, fought back hard when a group of social scientists asked that advertising be eliminated for the duration. F. E. M.

The Way

A marked increase in articles suggesting ways and means for the newspapers to combat growing public criticism of their editorial and business practices through public relations programs was evident during the early months of 1939. The articles followed a series of critical attacks on the press, with Secretary of the Interior Ickes leading the way. The annual meetings of the publishers and editors produced discussions of current newspaper problems. Much interest was noted in the settlement of the Guild strike in Wilkes-Barre and the prosecution of the Guild strike against Hearst in Chicago.

Articles pertaining to journalism during the current quarter continued to emphasize the impact of the war in Europe on both news gathering and news publishing both in this country and abroad. Efforts of publishers to obtain better recognition from the Wage-Hour administration produced numerous comments. The various ramifications of Guild activity were covered pro and con. Discussions of the position of the press in the 1940 presidential election were frequent. Much attention was given to this subject by Arthur Robb, editor of Editor & Publisher. F. E. M.

Fair Deal

The prosecution of several New Orleans newspapers on charges of conspiring to restrain trade in local advertising, following the government's still-pending antitrust case in Lorain, Ohio, emphasized the increasing importance of administrative law in the publishing field. The Senate investigation of horseracing information as an aid to nationwide gambling, too, had implications of legal regulation of certain types of news communication. Most important of all, perhaps, was the unprecedented action of the Atomic Energy Commission in ordering the destruction of an issue of Scientific American containing an article on the still-classified hydrogen bomb. Legal relations of the press are manifestly undergoing extensive revision in the era of the Fair Deal and atomic security. —W. F. S.
