ROCHESTER. N. Y, February "a
Carrying a jackmife blade in ones
brain is not so bad, If one doesn't
know it is there, but ultimately it will
do queer things
The record case for this state of
affairs, a World War soldier who un-
knowingly carried such a blade for
l5 years, was described today at the
Eastman Kodak Co.
The blade, half as long as his nose,
has been successfully removed from
the brain of James P Sherry, an
srnploye of the company. Neither he
nor any one else knows for certain
how it got there. But suspicion points
TO one of the strange experiences of
tte World War.
Sherry, a corporal in Company C,
B05th Field Signal Battalion, 80th
Division, was struck in the elbow with
ehrapnel while in the Argonne. For
hours he was dazed. He was treated
for the elbow injury and no other
wounds were noticed
After the war he settled down here,
married and has three children Re-
Gently one leg became lame. He had
severe headaches. He went to DR..
Charles S. Gallaher, who found an
additional suspicious symptom in an
abnormal condition of the eye oppo-
site the lame leg.
The physician suspected-not a
knife blade-but a brain lesion, pos
sibly an abscess. He ordered Sherry
tnder the X-ray.
On the Photographic plate the
knife blade showed vividly. 1t was
thrust straight into the brain. Its
point of entry on the left side. just
about at the level where hair would
be parted on the side.
The explanation now advanced is
that the Germans, short OF materials,
were using scrap metal in their
khrapnel, that this blade was in the
khrapnel burst; that it probably went
into the skull red hot, and cauterized
the wound Examination OF the scalp
showed very fine scar.

Senator Vandenberg, Republican of

as large as existing physical capacities

the life of the measure to two years.

CRUSAD|NG PRESS
TERMED j. s. NEED
Marlem Pew Says Faults in
Democracy Not Due to
Newspapers.
By The Associated Press.

BY he Associated Press.
ATHENS. Ga, February 24.-Criti-
cal. crusading. conscientious, intelli-
gent public service journalism is the
best augury for Americas future,
Marlem Pew. editor of Editor and
Publisher, told the Georgia Press In
stitute today.
Pew spoke at a journalistic round
table attended by the leading news
papermen of Georgia.
Il submit" Pew said, that the
faults in the Democratic system in
the best favored nation on earth,
creating the depression travesty. can
not be traced either to lack of dis
tribution of the news on which sound
public opinion is based, or to the
character of the general press.
Terms Ideal Sincere"
"a journalistic element with vital
bearing on our questions is editorial
leadership - crusading - the journal
ism which goes beyond mere news
statement or judicial interpretative
comment, taking sides in the business
of the people in determining the
choice of parties, measures and lead
erS.
In the modern day a popular city
room and publishing Office conceit is
that crusading is old stuff, well-nigh
extinct and jolly-well discarded. The
popular formula is that the news
must be properly confined to news
columns, editorials to editorial pages,
opinion features be duly signed by
writer's and that all statements for
which the newspaper stands must be
something better than belief, preju-
dice or sh-fulfillment. I believe this
to be a sincere ideal. Every journal
ism school advocates it. Generally
speaking, however, it is a myth.
1T is not humanity possible for a
newspaper to treat life in colorless,
wooden, balanced, disinterested and
neutral terms. Men cannot write as
robots and editors must select and
emphasize their preferences.
Guided U. S. in PeriIs.
"The moment an editor senses q
wrong or right in a public matter and
asks that it be written about as news
his newspaper becomes a crusader
never mind what he says or fails to
say in editorial columns"
Pew said almost every newspaper in
the country today is engaged in a
vibrant crusade to regain "our bru-
tally wasted national prosperity and
that those least restrained by con-
ventional notions about cruSading are
most effective"
"The recent, honest, capable news
paper press of the United States,'' he
continued, held this Nation en- the
track at the most perilous point in its
history. We newspapermen ought to
be more conscious Of this fact and
call it by its right name, which is
crusading journalism

EXTENDS STAND
ON DA|L|ES' CODE
Roosevelt Orders Criticism
of Free Press Clause Ap-
piled to N. E. A.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President RooSevelt's criticism OF
the freedom of the press clause In
the daily newspaper code yesterday
was applied by executive order to
similar provision in the already ap-
proved code for the graphic arts.
subsection of which covers small
newspapers.
The new order was rendered as an
olive branch to the members OF the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation, sponsor of the daily paper
code, many Of whom felt they had
singled out while nothing was said to
the National Editorial Association
group which stood upon the same
declaration under the graphic arts
code.
In thus extending the application
of his statement that this language
was pure surplusage" and no more
belonged in a code than did the Ten
Commandments, the President added
that nevertheless both clauses were
approved "as submitted and without
modification, condition or qualifica-
ton"
Another requirement Of the new
order was that the Government men,
bers of the graphic arts code au-
thority shall give particular attention
to the provisions authorizing minors
to sell newspapers and periodicals and
to deliver newspapers, periodicals and
advertising newspapers. They shall
report to the President not later than
60 days hence"
In the daily paper code the Presi
dents call for a report was coupled
with a definite expression of dis
satisfaction with provisions for the
employment of children. The Chief
Executive regards the problem as
more acute in large cities than in
small communities.

For Fingerprints
City Identification Bu-

ROCHESTER. N. Y. December 18.-
Believed to be the first community in
the country to cooperate with Federal
authorities in their plan to finger
print as many citizens as possible to
assist in identification and protection.
Rochester police have announced that
the services of the Bureau of Identifi-
cation are open to any Rochesterian
over years of age.
The announcement was made by
Chief of Police Henry T. Copenhagen
on his return from Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings crime conference
in Washington.
The service will be free and the
prints will not be placed in criminal
files, Chief Copenhagen announced.
Cards with the prints will be returned
to the citizen If desired or forwarded
to the non-criminal branch of the
Federal Identification Bureau.
Chief Copenhagen, in praising the
aim of the plan to fingerprint all
citizens possible, cited the recent
babes in the woods" case in Pennsyl-
vania. The three children found dead
in the woods could have been identified
with minimum of trouble had their
prints been recorded, he said.
