THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE * PAGE FIFTEEN SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1948 Arabs, Jews At Last Seem Set To Get Peace By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst Even Ip the days of the great deluge the dove of peace found a resting place on Noah's Ark, and so perhaps it isn't strange to find her circling hopefully in search of a landing spot in' the strife-torn Holy Land. If anyone had predicted a few weeks ago that both Arabs and Jews today would be guardedly offering refuge to hte weary bearer of the olive branch, his rating as a prophet would have hit zero. Yet the im- possible has happened -- and it came about like this: On Aug. 4 King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan, key figure among the Arab States at war with Israel and Generalissimo of their armies in the field, declared that his country didn't "exclude any possible com¢ promise that secures justice and prevents unnecessary bloodshed." This was the first public statement by any Arab leader indicating a wil- lingness to compromise, The next day the government of Israel made its first direct overture for peace negotiations with the Arab states. Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok placed the proposal before Count Bernadotte, United Nations mediator, who had to pass it on to the Arabs through the UN. The response remains to be seen. Now, of course, it would be foolish to think that this necessarily me;ns peace is just around the corner, for the bitterness between the combat- Ents is too deep to be removed easi- y. The situation is complicated by the fact that the Arab states are divided among themselves. Abdul- lah stands to gain the most of all the Arab leaders in any compromise settlement with the Jews. This rank- les with the rival Arab states of Egypt, Syria and Iraq. which don't want to give in to Israel. However, Abdullah is a mighty man among the Arabs, not only be- cause of his friendly relations with Britain but because he has the most powerful army of all the Arab states. The King has been less ex- treme towards the Jews than have his allies, and this fact in itself might make it easier for him per- sonally to reach an agreement with Israel. Many observers believe Abdullah is manoeuvring for a solution which would carry out the original U.N. partition plan, whereby the Jews and the Arabs would have separate states, This having been done, the new Arab state might join with Ab- dullah's kingdom of Trans-Jordan, which itself was carved out of Pal- estine. Such a program undoubtedly would meet with fierce opposition from the other Arab states, but might suit the Palestine Arabs and the new Jewish State of Israel very well, In any event, that is one of the possibilities, and it certainly would receive serious consideration, especiglly if Brtain should give it her support. Be Friendly Be Factual To Newsmen To help the businessman deal wisely and effectively with the "gentlemen of the press', Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) has pre- pared a booklet entitled, "May We Quote You?". It includes some sug- gestions from working newspaper- men that are intended to assist in- terviewed persons answer questions. Here are some extracts from the booklet : Remember, first of all, that the reporter's sole purpose in coming 'to you is to get a story. You may be a most interesting conversation- alist but that isn't what's attracting the reporter, He wants a story; he wants some facts. That's his busi- ness--the way he makes a living. And as long as newspapers and ra- dio are primary sources of informa- tion--the best means of showing the public a true picture of your com- pany and yourself--it's beneficial all around to give the reporter all the facts you can, as accurately as you can and as clearly as you can. That bi Your Job al brings up the whole purpose of this primer: You either have the facts the reporter, wants or you haven't. In either case you have a Job to perform. First, let's say you have all the answers and you can give them freely. Now, for the re- porter's sake as well as your own, don't bore him with every small de- tail relating to the subject. Give him the main facts. If he wants to fill in the chinks with minor mat- ters, he'll ask for them. Perhaps the information the re- porter seeks is of a controversial nature. No matter how obvious it may appear to you that company is on the right side, never indulge in indignation or enjoy the folly of taking a swing at the fellow with an opposite view of the issue; just explain the company's position as you know it and state it thoroughly and fairly." Don't try to color or stretch the facts. A good reporter recognizes these tactics and they throw suspicion on your whole case. Possibly you have a good deal of STOP! LOOK ...

But unless the reporter is writing a magazine or lengthy feature ar- ticle and wants full details, don't load him down with volumes of formidable-looking documents, In- stead, pick out a good short sum- mary if it's available or mark im- portant paragraphs for his special attention. There'll possibly be a time, too, when a reporter asks for some data that you feel you should not divulge right then. That happens on occa- sion in all competitive enterprises and so don't risk distrust with double talk or evasive answers, Tell the Teporier frankly that the in- formation he seeks is confidential and, if possible, tell him why it's confidential--that it might reveal company. plans to competitors; that an announcement now might be misconstrued; that it might jeopar- dize current business negotiations, or whatever the justifiable reason may be. Probably you'll be able to give him the answer to his question later. If you tell him youll provide the information as soon as it can safely be released, make certain that you do. It's a sure way to gain respect and confidence. Be Specific On the other hand, you may de- cide that the reporter should have that information "off the record". There's no particular value to the reporter in such material other than. providing him with back- ground for a future story. But should you decide to go "off the record" be absolutely sure theres no misunderstanding--that the re- porter knows when vou go "off the record" and, equally important, when you go back "on the record". Then comes the. occasion when you haven't the answers, It's bound to 'happen. The reporter undoub- tedly has run across this situation many times before, so don't try to be cagey and beat around the bush. Admit that you don't know, then be as helpful as you can. Call on other departments for aid. Make an effort to get the facts for him or make it possible for him to contact the best available source. If the information isn't available at the time, take advantage of an- other rare opportunity to make an important friend. When the data the reporter seeks becomes available --even though it may be several days or weeks later--let him know at once, Technical Answers Occasionally you might be asked for information on a subject requir- ing highly technical answers. ~Per- haps the reporter will ask you check his copy as a ni, against errors. If he doesn't ask, |" don't hesitate to offer a helping hand, But if you do get the op- portunity to look over the story be- fore it is published, don't pretend to be an editor.

The film, little point you thought mediocre is played strongly. Don't make the mistake of complaining about it. Perhaps you didn't make your point clear enough, But more likely, the reporter fond a more timely, fresh or interesting angle and used it. That's his job. Or perhaps you're disappointed because the interview you gave on a controversial subject doesn't ap- pear with your side of the issue ex- clusively. In all fair, unbiased news accounts, both sides of the question are given, After all, that's better for everybody concerned because if the reporter had only interviewed one person it might have been the fellow on the other side of the fence from you. And possibly you went out of your way to give the reporter the exact technical language used by your in- dustry. The chances are that when the article appears in a newspaper, for example, your carefully-phrased scientific expressions have been sim- plified. The reason is that the ar- ticle is for the information of the general public--not just the persons in your particular department of industry. But if there's a really important mistake in the story, be sure to mention it to the reporter, himself, at the first opportunity. In the first place, you don't want him to make the same mistake again and neither does he, In the second place--if the error is serious enough--he'll prob- ably make a correction, either in a separate little story or in another story dealing with a similar subject. But whatever happens, don't incur illwill by complaining to .the re- porter's superior or to anyone else on the paper. There's no strict formula to fol- low on how to deal with represent- atives of press and radio but it's a good idea never to let your common sense and good manners take a holiday.
