Looking over the Providence Journal-Bulletin's expose of newsmen working part-time for the state and for New England race tracks (TIME, April 6 et seq.), E. & P. said: "We suggest that every editor and publisher declare a period of amnesty for their employees for 30 days, during which they be requested to voluntarily and confidentially reveal any outside employment.

The confession earned him no forgiveness...
