EFFORTS CHARGED
Senator SchaII Says Presi.
dent and Johnson Were
for Censorship.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt and Gen. Hugh
s. johnson, N. r. A. head, were for
complete censorship of the press, I"
Senator Schall, Republican. Of Min
nesota, charged last night in q state
ment, which added that If a censor
ship ruling had been put over" by
Johnson advertising In daily news
papers would have been reduced to
almost nothing"
After asserting that the recent re-
port of the Darrow National Recovery
Review Board had disclosed an at
tempt of the N. r. A. to throttle
newspaper advertising" Schan said:
Now 1t comes to light that john
son ordered merchants not to adver-
tise because. since he fixed all prices,
there would be no competition and,
therefore. no reason to support the
daily newspapers. Unfortunately, the
Darrow report does not 60 fully into
this attempt at censorship of the
press by the Roosevelt administration.
1T Is easy for the layman to see
that If all prices were the same there
would be no reason for any merchant
to advertise. Why should he spend his
good money in telling newspaper read
ers that he was selling q pair of over
alls for the same price as every other
merchant, and so on? ""s
This clears up the mystery sur
rounding the attack made on news
paper publishers by johnson when
they demanded the right of free
speech inserted in their code. John
son and Roosevelt both attacked the
publishers for demanding this re-
affirmation of section / Of the Con-
stitution and it Is now easy to under
stand they were for complete censor
ship of the press and approaching 1t
from every conceivable angle"

out of service temporarily but other
wise the plant is operating normally
The force of the explosion, which
wrecked two buildings, was felt in
Fredericksburg, 2 miles away. Sew
eral of the men were virtually human
torches as they rushed from the
building. their clothing blazing.
Neither officials of the company
nor members of the Fredericksburg
Fire Department. called in to extin-
euish the fire, knew the cause Of ths
explosion.
From two to three weeks was given
by officials as the time required tc
have both of the affected depart.

CURED, would require longer time

concern, today estimated the mate.

Off1cials of the plant said an in.
vestigation was under way, but that
they had not arrived at a definite
conclusion as to the cause Of the ex-
ploSion.
They denied that any high ex.
plosives or any highly volatile ma
terials were in the buildings. but said
the process of waterproofing the
transparent paper made in the plant
was known to generate gases. Or
this account. the buildings had beer
equipped with ventilating system,
that made it practically impossible
for spontaneous combustion to occur
In other respects the building, Off
cials said, had been made as safe a.
possible.
Asked II they thought careleSSness
among the employees might have beer
responsible. officials said that about
the only way they could have caused
the explosion was for one of them tt
have struck a match. This they were
not willing to impute to their EN-
ployes. who are forbidden to smoke
on the premises.
