The threateners lose sight of the fact that
newspapers learn a food many things from
the very people who have been ordered to
keep their mouths shut
Though some politicians give evidence

America is a democracy and its citizens are
free agents. They resent intimidation and,
despite bullying and threats, they talk any-
Some of these conversations make news
right away; others are filed away for checktag
and possible publication at some later
Newspapers can rarely break completely
through an iron curtain of secrecy, at least
not right away. But the truth has a way of
becoming public eventually.
Wfeat is more, newspapers have long lives
and long memories. Individual politicians and
individtal newspapermen come and go but

many people are disappointed that the meeting
has been cancelled, and those who know
the underlying reason are angry and
ashamed.
This newspaper feels that our Senators
deserve an apology. They have been victimized
by the inexplicable conduct of men who should—
know better. " ^~
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of
this nonsensical rudeness is that H was accomplished
by bully boy tactics and by telling
some people one story and others something
else. . -
Ocean City has no need for peanut politicians
who have delusions of grandeur and
therefore consider themselves bosses whose
word is law.
The people who know the inside story of
this rude and arrogant behavior resent it.
The Sentinel-Ledger is independent politically.
Our interest in this meeting lay in our
belief that it would be of value to the town.
Ocean City owes Senators Farley and
Hunt an apology.
straight.
Several such instances of censorship by
Intimidation have come to our attention
recently. We are philosophical about it, how
.ever. Another gimmick favored by some politicians
is to tell people a cock and bull story
and pledge them to secrecy. The same story
tellers then talk elsewhere and retail an entirely
different yarn relying on the idea that
their auditors won't check with each other.
But when the stories are checked the phoniness
become apparent.
This, of course, makes lying difficult,
dangerous, and even impossible'.
We appreciate the confidence a lot of
people have in our integrity. They have come
to rely on the fact that we never reveal a
source of information if we are asked to keep
it secret.
So, we suggest that if you have information
that shoufd be made public let us know
about it. This doesn't include scandal or
scuttlebutt or slanderous nonsense. We don't
want to know about this kind of thing.
We firmly believe, however, that in this
democracy people have a right to know all
the legitimate news. We print a good deal of
it despite some efforts to keep public information
secret.
Furthermore, we are not completely sure
that Mr. Byington knows what he is talking
about when he demands that Ocean city's
marshy islands be kept forever more as nius-
