, BRUCE CATIONS
WASHINGTON COLUMN
President Could Run Radio
Not Press IF He So Desired

that the President Is empowered to
take such rigorous action In time
Of war, In time Of threat or peril to
this country-or ITO preserve the
neutrality Of the United States"
The likelihood that any such pow
ers would be invoked Is very slight,
however, according 10 the Federal
Communications Commission.
"Broadcasters are doing Q re-
markable Job Of censoring their
own stuff" says O spokesman for
the commission, I'VE have been
told that q comparatively liberal
censorship exists In European coun-
tries, including Germany. Common
tators are not required TO submit
word for-word copies Of their talks
In advance, but are simply asked to
hand their notes to the official CEN
sor before going on the air."
FEC officials point out that ra-
do Is tackling its new role Of
war-coverage without presidents
to fal back on. Officials Of net
works, as vel as Of individual
stations, have displayed full will
ingness to cooperate with the
commission.
If the FEC or the President de-
sires any change in method Of
presentation or In type Of pro-
gram during the war In Europe.
there Is every evidence that the
radio people will comply willingly
with any suggestions that are
made.
PRESS C0-OPERATEs
ANYWAY
Beyond making suggestions -
which might or might not be
acted on - there isn't much Of
anything the administration could
do to control the press as long as
the country Is neutral.
II ought to be added, probably,
that no one in the government Is
worried by this fact. Wholly aside
from the little matter Of the free
dom Of the press, 1t Is pointed out
that the newspapers have amply
demonstrated their willingness to
cooperate in previous grave crises.
During the last war - after the
United States got In, that is-the
Postoffice Department did try
get through q bill which would
have pu stringent restrictions on
newspapers through control Of
their use Of the malls. Congress
refused TO pass the bill, however;
as II turned out, the newspapers
themselves established q central
burau OF censorship for the ham
ding Of government information.
II the United States actually
got into q war, the government
could impose some form Of cen
sorship through cntrol Of the
telephne and telegraph systems
These agencies could be placed
under the direction Of military
authoritis with arbitrary powers
to administer them ct their dis
erection.
That wasn't done during the
World War, however, and II Isn't
believed here that there is much
chance that It would be done II
the United States should 60 70
war again.

6YHEZEW WEZzHZZhIER :

He was flesh and blood and hope
and despair, and he was also tired
man, in a shabby hat, going out to
beg or borrow few dollars here,
a little more there, to help his
daughter. That is, he had been until
Robert spoke.
"Oh, Robert, some day, some far
day, maybe we can make this up
to you," she told the aviator in a
faltering tone, coming back to the
reality of that simple boolz-lined
room with it's gay cushions and
fireplace banked with purple asters.
By morning the news had spread
across the town. Automobiles drove
past the parsonage, slowly, while
Iinquisitive faces peered up the
winding path between the maple
trees.
More reporters appeared. People
in whose life there had been no
drama, other than the simple We
racities of birth and marriage and
death, either envied Or felt remote
ly superior, according to their ma
ture.
Mrs. Allen hurried to the parson-
age, big basket in her plump
hands.
Land sakes, this beats anything
I ever heard tell! How can any girl
tell who's she marrying? And
here I was wishing that somebody,
dapper and soft-speaking like that,
had come along when was young.
But I guess I should be right
thankful I took Henry Allen. He's
not the sort to make ripples up
your spine, but he hasn't any sur
prise edges, either"
In her basket she had cake
with maple icing, and D. can of
sandwich filling, rich with olives
and boiled eggs and nut meats.
These were favOrite concoctions of
Corrinne's and the younger girl
smiled piteously when she saw
them. "I'd like a sandwich" she
said, though she had eaten nothing
that day-would eat nothing ever
again, she knew. But when the
crisp toasted roll was filled with
the rich filling, and brought to her
with tall glass Of hot, frothy cho-
colate and some potato salad, she
ate it all.
The mother of the Miller twins
sent over cold roast chicken and
a lemon pie, and someone made
chocolate cup cakes.
'It's like funeral" Corrinne
said starkly. People sending food
because the mourners are so sad
and busy"
people are kind" her mother an
swered. "They want us to know
they-they care about u.s."
But she looked at her husband
anxiously. His gray face did not
acquiesce. He had grown a dozen
years older over night. And she
had seen the addresses on some
letters he posted to churches far
away. Everyone of them had an
open pulpit.
She wasn't especially surprised
when the telephone rang and a
voice, which she did not recognize,
asked: "Mrs. Melton, is it true that
your husband contemplates leaving
his ministry hereafter this ex-
perience ?"
Sarah Anne, answering on the
upstairs extension, heard it too.
Surely this church which had
known them so long would not send
them away?
