As soon as the charges that he had obtained conhad and fidential information passed it on to his client were made public he had a dozen offers from other big firms to get on their pay rolls. He did, but it wasnt long before he left Washington. He didnt get any more confidences. A lesser factor ih the affair was a newspaper reporter. It was discovered that he was on the payroll of a brokerage firm to whom he phoned anything he thought might be of interest after he had written his story for his paper whose last edition bad an early afternoon dead line It was shown that the brokers paid him all of $25 a month. In the investigation it also was shown that while he knew what was news for a newspaper, the reporter bad only the foggiest idea of what would Interest a broker as he probably never owned a share of stock In his life He was duly fired from the paper, and suspended from the Press club, but nobody was too sore They knew, at my frfrnd Indicated, It was stupidity rather than lack of virtue which was his chief sin. My own first lesson on the subject of Washington journalistic ethics was administered very tenderly by an Old Timer, my bosa. My assignment was helping to cover the British embassy early in World War I, before America had become embroiled. One night, my boss, who knew everybody In Washington, took me along to introduce me to the British commercial attache I'm not sure that was what he was called in those days, but it describes his job He talked with us quite a while, much more freely than he would have conversed with me alone, for I was a stranger to him. In the course of the conversation, he mentioned that tomorrow, or next day. Great Britain would announce what amounted to an embargo on American wool (Britain wanted to switch her buying to Australia). The attache explained the background of the move In detail When we were eut on the etreet, my boss pulled out his watch and remarked to me: "Now, If we were crooked, we would still have time before the markets close to make a lot of money selling short, wouldnt we? He didnt have to explain further AFTER the British had made their announcement, I was able to write a good "follow, Interpreting the move. Thats all any newsman gets out of confidential Information, and all that 99 44 per cent of us ever expect. The same thing applies to government employees. Those who act otherwise soon depart.

There was general agreement on one fact, at least: That the Communist coup In Czechoslovakia had forged perhaps the most vital link in the Russian chain intended to shackle the Marshal plan. In Finland and Italy, as In Czechoslovakia, elections were coming up soon and the Communists were out for victory Finland, like Czechoslovakia, is ruled by a coalition government which has acknowledged that the country must remain on the best of terms with Russia. victory-- meaningless non-part- y Consumer Resistance Does It below the levels of a year previous, the studv says In manufactured goods, the sup ply of small radios recently has overflowed the le.el of demand, with prices skidding in many cities Large radios are very close to current demand, as are washing rra chines, stoves and deep freeze units As long as consumer, demand goods despite rising prices, the study pointed out, the manufacturer will pay higher and still higher costs for materials and labor, rather than have his production shut down and his flow of goods to the consumer cut off Retail stores buy his finished products despite higher manufacturing costs because they know their customers want the goods.
