He swears he likes reporters, will cooperate with them, will treat them as citizens, "Timothy Crouse observes in "The Boys on the Bus. "The charade goes on for a few weeks or months, or even a couple of years. All the while the President is struggling to suppress an overwhelming conviction that the press is trying to undermine his Administration, if not the Republic . . . Then, sooner or later he first-cla- interests that exists between newspapermen and politicians. "Politicians, as a class, are dedicated to changing the world. With very few exceptions, they have in their minds some bright and shining ideal which is so obviously superior to what exists that it seems to be reality, with the actual world around them merely some kind of aberraton," Reedy observes "The Twilight of the Presidency." "Newspapermen, on the other hand, are it is still held, to some degree, to the forts their principal mission to present the world as it is. The two points of view are fundamental- ss ... blows." Perhaps the only exception to this rule was William Henry Harrison. He died one month after his inauguration. Presidential news management has been an American dilemma ever since the birth of the Republic. George Washington wanted a State Department clerk fired because he edited an newspaper. John Adams and his supporters in 1798 pushed through Congress the Alien and Sedition Acts. Thomas Jefferson promptly pardoned, all those convicted under the act when he took office in 801 , but later remarked that a few good prosecutions might restore the integrity of the press. Woodrow Wilson once considered a federal news agency to make sure the public got the "real facts." Harry Truman maintained that in a national emergency he had the right to seize the nation's newspapers. John Kennedy suggested that THE NEW YORK TIMES Saigon correspondent be replaced after he consistently sent dispatches at great critical and pessimistic variance from the reports he was getting from his own people. George Reedy, a former Special Assistant to Lyndon Johnson, ascribed this longstanding antagonism between the President ly anti-Washingt- 1 are part of nationwide figures allocations prepared by the agency, following the passage of the Agriculture Appropriations Bill in late December.

Milk production in the U.S. during January 1981, was up four percent over January of last year, according in the Utah Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. Milk output totaled 10.7 billion pounds. Production per row averaged 988 pounds, 31 pounds over last year and 65 pounds above 1979. Milk cow numbers were up slightly less than one percent, at 10.9 million head, for January. Utah followed the national trend as its production also jumped. Production in Utah was 85 million pounds compared with 81 million in 1979 and 74 million in 1978. Milk cow numbers, at 77,000 head, were greater than 1980, but less than in January 1980. Milk production per cow rose to a new January record of 1,100 pounds.

It's important. that we accept gracefully the,, "bad reviews" that are bound to come, and recognize the inevitability of it all.

Wankier. The $2 million is a 'base' figure" Wankier said, "being alloted to all states for Biomass Energy Projects under the new Energy Security Act Other allocations made public include $15.7 million for farmer assistance; $24 million for housing loans and grants; $3.5 million for community and $2.2 million for programs; business and industry lotus for FmHA projects in Utah for fiscal year 1981.

And this condition leads Reedy to the conclusion that, "No amount of manipulation can ever produce newspapers that are satisfactory to political leaders, or politicians who are satisfactory to newspapermen (unless George Orwell's nightmare, in which politicians had the capacity not only to produce newspapers but to rewrite the newspapers of the past, comes to fruition)."
