COMMENCEMENT

Like a breath of Spring is Ann Rutherford, Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's rising young star, for whom those qualified

First noticed in the Hardy Family series as one of Andy's many teen-age girl friends, the protty Rutherford later demonstrated her act- ing ability as the vivacious Lydia Bennet In "Pride and Prejudice." Hers was as perfect a portrayal of the Jane Austen character as could be imagined. beside the swimming pool in her new Westwood Hills home in Hollywood. Ann is fond of all outdoor sports,

How to Read

The

HA

But I read it in the

[AVE you ever heard some extraordinary statement triumphantly back- ed up by this remark? I think overyone has. And as, day by day, it becomes more im- portant that évéryone should be able to sort out fact from rumour, I am writing for readers of the "Telegraph" an article which is, I think, new to journalism -a reader's guide to news.

EWS comes from multifarious sources, but through well-defined chan- nels. Let us take the first. and most important.

That channel is the group of writers who are on the staff of any newspaper.

You will have read stories by such contributors as the Diplomatic Correspondent, the Air Correspondent, "Tele- graph" Reporter and others.

These stories are written by members of the staff, and-as- such carry the authority of the newspaper itself.

But no newspaper would be complete if it restricted itself to office contributors,

So come the reports from established correspondents in such capitals of the world as still permit the uncensored cabling of news and views..

All the reports from such staff correspondents are print- ed under what are technically termed "credit lines." That is to say, the newspaper print- ing the report tells you that it comes from a special corres- pondent who is accredited to the newspaper, implying that the newspaper takes full res- ponsibility for his report.

BUT

DUT exceeding these reports in volume are the mes- sages from the great news agencies of the world-Reuter, the United Press and others.

That is why you often read, "A Reuter message from Athens states that, etc. "The purpose of that sentence is to show that the news- paper cannot, from its own staff work, vouch for the Information it contains, but assures the render that the source is reputable and responsible.

WITH

WITH this explanation, let us analyse a news item na it would be variously presented' in this newspaper, according to its Tho result will enable you to discuss news with greater authority among your friends.

source.

Suppose the story, one which we may rend any day, is that German troops have seized all the strategi- cal points of Rumonia, It may come in various forms. It may read:

"Bucharest, Saturday (Router) -Martial law was proclaimed to-day in Rumania. German troops have occupied all State buildings here, and the frontiers have been closed."

That would mean the responsible editors of the Reuter agency lind

News

received a message to that effect from their correspondent Bucharest.

Jn

But suppose the report was less direct. Possibly this report would be issued a few hours earlier:

"Sofia, Saturday (UP) The frontier between Bulgaria and Rumania was closed at midday to-day. Rumours are circulating in the Bulgarian capital that Nazi forces have taken over all police duties in Rumania.”

That would mean the United Press correspondent in the Bul- #tarian capital had established the one fact about the frontier but that the others were not confried.

So it is necessary for readers of all newspapers to study not merely the news, but the sources of the news.

OOK for such phrases as

"It is reported that "according to reports from and "according to....

These phrases are not inserted by #newspaper in an effort to hedge in case a story proves unsub stantiated. They are writing. In order to give the news reports a proper scale and perspective.

I can give you a homely similo. Try this on your friends.

Many people will come to you and say. "Have you seen the new air mal shelter in such and such a road? It's at least 1,000 feet deep."

Ask them this first: "Have you seen it for yourself?" In many cases they will say, if they are not carried away by the unfortunate urge we all have to startle our friends, "Well, no, but my brother- in-law saw it yesterday,"

So If you are a born editor you will not say to other people, "There. is an air raid tunnel 1,000 feet deep," but rather, "I am told there is an air raid tunnel 1,000 feet deep, but I have not seen it my- self."

THE war has given ever- THE

increasing importance to another news source-world radio. Thus you may read: "According to Rome radio, disturbances have again broken out among students in Prague. Several executions have taken place."

April 23, 1941. By Walt Disney

But you must judge all radio news by its source. II the Berlin radio announces sweeping. Italian successes in Libya, it can be dis-

jf counted. But Moscow radio says food is becoming even more scarce in Berlin that statement is probably correct because Moscow, does nat mormally go out of its way to cheer us up.

It is important also to study the source when news comes in this rather tortuous form: The New York Herald' quotes a, cable ́sent to the Tokyo 'Nicht-Nicht' by its Paris correspondent to the effect that Marshal Petain is planning to meet Hitler."

That is the equivalent of your neighbour saying to you, "My wife's cousin in Macao tells us that his daughter at school in Shanghal put out a fire in the school nr-

den."

So news ranges in weight from what is called among newspaper- men "hard news such as British official communiques from Cairo, the messages of only slightly less. authority from a newspaper's cor- respondents on the spot, down to what Lisbon is bearing from its newspapers, who have received a cable quoting something from Is- tanbul.

All must be given in order to present a complete pleture,

No newspaper can be infallible, But it can be honest with its readers.

Such is the aim and purpose of the free British press.

Flocking Home to Fly

Four young British residents in the Bahamas arrived re- cently in England to train for flying duties in the R.A.F. All have had flying experience in light aircraft, having learned to fly at their own expense. One holds a Canadian running re- cord,

These four men are typical of those who are, now' arriving in a steady stream under the Overseas Recruiting Scheme. Under this scheme British subjects abroad who volunteer for air crew duties are provided with passages home. The men who arrived so far have been of the best type. Over 80 per- cent of them have been accepted for training as pilots,

One man, a Scotsman living in Patagonia, rode hundreds of miles on horseback to catch a ship for England at Buenos Aires.

Another travelled 800 miles overland across South America to his port of sailing.

Other arrivals from American countries have included British residents in Tegucigalpa, Hondurna; Caracas, capital of Venezuela; and Havana, Cuba.

A large number hail from British colonies, including men from the Leeward Islands, Bermuda, Trinidad, the Seychelles Islands and Mauritius.

Among the latest volunteers to reach. London is an Ameri- can citizen from Peru. He was formerly radio officer in a South American air lino and has flown light aircraft.

So the list of useful recruits from Överseas to the R.A.F. grows from day to day,
