The "ay" sound is also correct
in APPARATUS, FRACAS, and

Only Free Press
Can Guard America,
Publishers Told
Nv Holm w. DUNLAP

DEL, MONTE. Calf, Jan. 18.tUP)
The threats of dictatorship IN
America can be crushed only by
truth. and a militant press is the
agency that can best challenge all
that is Fascist, Communist or Nazl,
Nat L. Pieper, director of the San
Francisco office of the federal bu-
reau of investigation told the 53rd
annual convention of the California
Newspaper Publishers association
last night.
Pieper gave the publishers a
straight from the shoulder talk on
the complexities and problems OF
his organization, praised newspa-
pers for supporting crime preven-
ton programs and removing the
glamour from criminals, but warned
that even greater tasks lie ahead
to prevent hysteria.
Pieper, after outlining the FB1
campaign to train local officers
in scientific solution of crime, de-
clared:
I'VE live in a world at war. De-
clared and undeclared wars enmesh
us all . yours is the job of review
ing the news of the days events
You are the recorders of contem-
porary history. In America, per-
haps the last place on earth where
it can be done, you are the cham
pions of truth and fairness.
LAS newspaper publishers you
want to see the truth brought before
the people. Together We can dc
these things, We can crush the
threats of dictators in the Ameri-
can way. which is the challenge to
all that is Fascist, Communist or
Nazi."
The tremendous task performed
by American press services in bring
ing news from abroad and winnow-
ing the propaganda was outlined
by Joseph Connely, president OF
International News Service; Miller
of the United Press, and Bob Nixon
International News Service cores
pondent recently returned from

Paul Leake, Woodland publisher
and collector of customs for the

Plane Production
Exceeds Program,

WASHINGTON. Jan. Is. up
John D. Biggers. director OF the
new super defense agencys pro-
duetipn division. revealed today
that 799 military airplanes were
built in December, exceeding ex-
pectationS by nearly 100.
Biggers. who held press con-
ference to explain the new organi-
rational setup of his division of the
office of production management,
said that he expected January pro-
duction to exceed the December fig
ure.
OPM Director General william
S. KnudSen. in recent speech be-
fore the National Association OF
Manufacturers, said that plane pro-
duction in December was approx
mately 700. 80 per cent below the
estimates that had been made near
ly seven months before.
BiggerS said that KnudSen's
speech may have inspired greater
efforts on the part OF aircraft man
ufacturers to push production up.
He said he could not recall how
many of the planes proouced in
December were combat craft and
how many trainers. 1t was mis- guess
