tiger, against Secretary of the Navy
Knox's censorship policy.

a long series of officiousness, stupid
regulations and a lack of coopera-

that the United States navy is
trying deliberately to ALLEVIATE the
American press.
The local authorities say they
were operating under strict orders
from Washington. and indeed it
must be so, since they could not
possibly be so stupid under their

Since Mr. Knox became secre-
