He told the chamber members that the Standard Examiner is trying to improve its syndicated package, which includes certain columns and the types of cartoons a paper can use. He said the paper has acquired the New York Times syndicated package.

If no one is-- there to determine this in a closed court, then how do you know if justice is being carried out? He said it is impossible for every citizen to attend the court hearings and this is where the media reporting responsibilities come in, because they can . .report to the public the proceedings.
