NEW YORK, July 6.--Whether the

mystery today.
A statement from Secretary Baker

ever, and was turned over to the
United Press bureau there.
George Creel, head of the bureau
Of public information, was scheduled
to be at the censor's office in New

he had not appeared and at his town
house, it was said he had left for

The fighters will be encouraged to
write fully and often to those who are
interested in them. This mail will
pass through a lenient military CEN

plans outlined today, will be in event
OF exceptional cases where individ-
ual acts of bravery or devotion to
duty may possibly be communicated
to the press officially at a later
time. This will not happen, however,
until American troops have been
