Taxation Session Reconvened
LINCOLN Legislators reconvened Monday with hopes that
this would be the final week of the special session on taxation.
Efforts were being made to write amendments to LB4, a key
stone bill, in order to make it acceptable.
The bill was written by the Legislative Council Committee
on Taxation. It would relax the clause in the Constitution calling
for ''uniformity of assessments." ,
No real improvement of the Nebraska tax structure is possible
unless there is some relaxation of this "strait Jacket" require
ment, Sen. Otto Liebers of Lincoln said.
t McCarthy-Stevens Clash
WASHINGTON "I'm not covering up anybody at any time,"
flared Secretary of the Army Stevens when Sen. McCarthy sug
gested that someone in the Army was "covering up" Communists.
The clash fame when Stevens was in the witness chair during
the eighth day of the McCarthy-Army controversy. McCarthy was
attempting to explore the case of Maj. Irving Peress, the Army
dentist who got an honorable discharge despite reiusal to sign
Jyalty papers. However, Ray Jenkins, special counsel to the benate
Investigations Subcommittee, objected to the line of questions by
McCarthy. Jenkins insisted that the present hearings must stay
away from the problem of loyalty. McCarthy argued that was
"crucial" matter and the heart of his row with Army oliiciais.

Of irresponsibility, Vermont Roy
ster, senior editorial associate of
the Wall Street Journal, said Sat
urday at the annual University
Journalism Day awards lunch
eon. Royster spoke on the "Right
to be Irresponsible." He said the
press is being attacked today
with the "main stick" of irre
sponsibility. Royster added that
the press is never immune from
attack.
HE CITED the attack on indi
vidual freedom and one's ability
to separate truth from error He
said that society is so complex
that the regions of freedom can
no longer be separated.
In order to prevent irrespon
sibility, it would be necessary to
have a "trustee" who would know
what is responsible and what is
irresponsible. Royster pointed
out the impossibility of this.

not give man the right of freedom

He said he is proud to have had
a part in the ROTC program, which
he believes "is one of the most
valuable programs conducted by
the U. S. Goverijment. The value
of ROTC training was proven in
World War II. Without the nearly
100,000 reserve officers available,
we just couldn't (have created the
tremendous acmed force that we
did," Workman said.
During World War II, he served
in the Mediterranean Theater of
Operations, where he commanded
the 423rd Artillery Group of the
Fifth Army, In the post-war period
he served in information and ed
ucation fields overseas and in a
military government post in Italy.
He participated in six campaigns
during the war.
DURING THESE campaigns he
was twice decorated by the Ital
ian government, being awarded
the Cross of Military Valor and
Commander Crown of Italy, and
was decorated by the British, who
made him an Honorary Officer of
the Most Excellent Order of the
British Empire.
The U. S. government awarded
him the Legion of Merit, American
Defense Medal and European,
African and Middle Eastern
Theater of Operations Medals with
six battle stars.

of speech and then say that one
cannot be irresponsible.
He clarified his statement by
saying this doesn't imply it is
a duty to be irresponsible. The
responsibility must lie within
one's own conscience, Royster
believes.
Libel is a check on responsi
bility, wherein the press is made
answeraiDle for its action, -Royster
asserted. The readers also
are a restraint upon irresponsi
bility, he said. It is an error to
underestimate that restraint. Roy
ster added.
Royster said impatience is
caused by the seemingly long
time it takes for people and
events to catch up with each
other. Those who accuse the
press of being irresponsible want
to shorten the process by forc
ing a responsible press. He
quoted Voltaire saying that error
will -never erase truth.-
When someone is irresponsible,
Royster said, it is fitting to re
member his rights and to make
him answerable to the conse

damage as possible.

Rathbone Loses
Valuable Script
While Basil Rathbone was giv
ing out autographs following
the performance of "King David"
Sunday evening, his program was
removed. The narrator had noted
all his cues, inflections and vari
ous reminders on this script.
Rathbone worked with Arthur
Hpnnegger, who wrote the mu
sical score, in the translation of
the script. It will be needed soon
if Rathbone is to accept Eugene
Ormandy's invitation to take the
role in the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra's presentation of
the cantata.
David Foltz, University direc
tor of "King David," said that it
might have been taken by some
souvenis hunter who did not
realize the personal value of the
script.
It was missed irnmediately but
had not been found when the
artist left for New York.
