Soldier Writes
Of Army Life
In Texas

The many Libby friends of Sill
Sacco will be interested in excerpts
from letter he recently wrote to
the editor of this newspaper. Sill
was valued employee of this office
when he was called into the army
in June. He is now with the coast
artillery at Camp Wallace, Texas,
and writes, in part as follows.
I'm located, as you probably
know, at Camp Wallace, Texas,
which is 16 miles from Galveston,
found after being here a while that
we should have given Texas back to
Mexico long ago. There isn't tree
in sight here and the heat is ter
rifle. We drill in the hot sun all
day long and then have to drink
water that people in Libby wouldn't
ever use to wash dishes in. It's hot
and very oily.
1T might interest you to know
that there are three Libby boys in
my barracks. We've been together
since we left Libby. 1t also
might interest you to know that
Ralph Spencer of Libby qualified
as a sharpshooter and Kenneth
Manlcke. Willie Nlttle and | all
qualified as marksmen with rifle.
Ralph Spencer and | were called
for officers training but we both
turned it down for various reasons,
however, if the shortage of officers
continues, we may be forced to take
it,

anything to be back at the shop and
carrying on with my regular life.
Army life in war time is no
snap.
Tomorrow we 60 ON a 10 mile
hike and bivouac with full field
equipment. This is our fourth hike
and they are quite strain with a i
full pack, in formation marching.
when the pack and equipment weigh |
in the vicinity of 80 pounds. We
are getting more hardened every
day and the hikes aren't near as
strenuous as they were at first but
we are far from seasoned soldiers
yet. =
This is fairly large camp with
personnel of about $4,000. The
officers are all pretty nice"

Says Hold
Your Hats
Until November

That politics is too prevalent In
.present-day planning is a statement
made in the Washington Letter,
published in the August issue of
Nations Business. The following is
a small excerpt from the letter:
The domestic front faces contin-
ued confusion, lack of cleaT-cut pol
icy until after the November
elections.
White Hoase- and Congress tend
to look at vital internal problems
through vote-colored glasses
Politics stalls decisive action on
such basic issues as
Initiation and wage sterilization
Gas and cmmodity rationing.
Synthetic rubber program.
O. P A. enforcement.
Drafting of married men 18-vear-
olds and manpoWer for industry.
Forced savings.
Sales tax.
War information policy.
There will be much temporizing
on these and other issues until the
new Congress is elected and i'm
portant state contests such as New
York governorship, are decided at
the polls.
Serious military reverses could
change this outlook in the next
three months. An alarmed public
would force action. So far the pub
lie is worried but not alarmed.
For every military realist who
speaks out, there is Congressman
May who cheerily assures the ma
ton that the war will be over be-
fore long.
Confusion in public mind is
heightened by Cd headlined dis
putes among government officers,
and ca tendency of newspapers and
radio to everyday good news, I'M
derplay the bad
The citizen still doesn't know
whom or what to believe.
To most of the country the war
is far off, it hasn't seen the blood
and sweat"
That's one reason there is so much
politics as usual"
So-hold your hats until Novem-
Der.
Then--look out for action

$500 GOOD IDEAS

The Inventors Council, headed by DR..
Charles F. Kettering, Of General Motors.
has received more than 104,43O inventive
suggestions.
The ideas of individuals, who think
that their devices may win the war, have
been carefully studied and considered bv
Army, Navy and other officials. More
than $500 inventions were worthy of seri-
Gus consideration
DR.. Ketteling reports that the inven-
ton most often submitted as a war-winning
device is the same for this war as in the last
war-a net or screen to protect ships from
torpedOes. Thousands of variations do not
meet the problem and none has received the
approval of the Navy Department or the
Merchant Marine
The Inventors Council was establish
ed by Harry Hopkins when he was Secre-
tary of Commerce. 1t serves as a clearing
house for ideas submitted by any individual,
giving assurance that the invention sub
mitted will not be stolen if it is practical.

states a fact, it really is a fact.
The other day we got to talking
about George Washington - who
besides being a great general, was
a public surveyor, a successful
farmer, and a wise statesman.
"And he made mighty good beer,
too," says Grandma.
That was news to most Of us.
"You can see his private recipe
for beer right in the New York

nent are twin stars that journalism must fol-
low if it is to deserve its privileges. -New
York Times.
Every intelligent newspaper man must
agree with the New York newspaper. The
positive responsibility chat should control
Journalists ale generally understood and
accepted but the practical difficulties that
surround performance continue to bedevil
the press.
''Integrity in news" must mean more
than the mere truth OF what is printed. It
should include the attmept TO present a
just picture OF what happens. Any intelli-
gent news editor knows that the power of
selection, in the publication of items, gives
him enormous power.
Newspaper readers are often unaware
that the problem of an editor is not getting
something to print; it is determining what
to print To ''select" all items that play
up strikes, for example, and ignore those
that relate to what labor has accomplished
ir the war effort is to unduly influence
readers,
The matter of headlines represents the
power Of the news editor to stress events
or phases of issues, in such a manner as 70
misrepresent what is actually taking place.
This criticism applies, very forcefully, 10
ove1-optimistic headlines over war items,
unduly stressing enemy losses and burying
enemy gains. The fact that optimistic
headlines sell more newspapers than peSsi-
mistic cnes has some effect and should be
watched by those who write the headlines.
"Sincerity in comment" applies TO edi-
tCrials and columns of ar editorial nature.
Certainly, these writer's should be sincere.
Opinions expressed should be the result of
thought, if possible, and not the bait used
to attract readers or advertisers.
So far as the editorials in this news
paper are concerned, they represent the
views of the editor There is no connec-
ton between the business office and the
editorial room. No campaign, to sway pub
lie opinion, can find its way into our edi-
torial columns unless the editor is per-
sonally convinced that the matter merits
discussion that may serve a public in
terest
Of course, we understand very wei
that some newspaper editors take hint"
from their advertisers. Al few pages of
paid copy often persuades the editor that
there is an ISSUE" especially if the adj
vertisers continue to provide support. This
prostitution of newspaper is a crime
against decent journalism, with most of the
blame resting upon the miscalled "editor,"
who should know better, and much of it on
the advertiser, who usually does not I'M
derstand the betrayal of the freedom of the
