showing. Each weekday last week
collections amounted to $4,000 or
more, while even during Saturdays
halliday more than $500 was col
lected,
Total collections up to Saturday,
including payments by mail,
amounted to approximately $3.50, 900.
This would mean that 5000 had
to be collected today to gather
enough to meet the state assess
ment.
Last year, for the first time, the
city collected more in old age taxes
than the assessment levied by the
state. This year more than $1,000 tax
bills were sent out, making posi-
BILE total collections Of over $170,000.
Even though attachments have been
given many soldiers, payments have
been much below expectations.
Those failing to pay the So tax by
eoday's deadline must now pay a
penalty of 81 for delinquency.

PRESS KEEPS LIGHT OF FREEDOM BURNING NritIen for A P. Wide World
 Feature Service
 D. pzfpo oHT ppYGF
By BYRON PRICE
Director. of Censorship

To ask whether newspapers are important in this war is like asking whether light is important in a uark world.
 Even in the totalitarian coun- tries, which are our enemies, news papers continue publication; and you may put it down in the book that such publication would not be permitted unless 1t contributed del initely 10 total warfare.
 To be sure, the totalitarian news papers are not true newspapers ac- cording to our American standards. But they do contain a certain a. mount of news. There are things in this modern world which even the most brutal of our enemies do not dare to keep from their own people.
 In free America. the light must and does burn far more brightly It is difficult to imagine what utter chaos would result if the newspa- pers of this country unanimously suspended publication for a period of single week.
 News broadcasting would be re- duced to a negligible minimum, a. long with news publication; for the sources of information upon which broadcasting so largely depends would have disappeared. The coun- try en masse would be at the mercy of rumor mongers. The loss of mor- ale and of national purpose on the home front would more than can eel out the bravest ventures of our armies and our ships of war.
 The peculiar importance of Am erican newspapers to the war effort springs from the high degree of pub lie confidence which they enjoy. From long experience the American people expect our newspapers to do the best they can to record events factually and collectively, to praise what is praiseworthy, and to criti- cize where criticism is needed.
 The public knows that certain in formation will be withheld in war time, but it expects that process to effect only such curtailment as may be imperative for the protection of the lives and interests of Ameri- cans.
 With few exceptions our news papers are fulfilling these expecta- tions. Thus they are performing a war service the importance of which can be measured only in terms of the national destiny itself.
