/ Problem for Small Papers.
IF there were no Associated
Press, or If Associated Press mate
rial could not be exclusively used by
small newspapers in their communi-
ties, the small newspapers would be
faced with two alternatives:
They might be forced out of
business because of a drying up of
their basic news service that would
result from taking away the present
| incentive of cooperative member
papers to furnish their news to their
| association.
OR the price of their news serv-
ice might become so high that
strong and independent smaller
newspapers would be forced to
shrink into purely local news sheets
that would supplement the large
regional newspapers financially able
to send their STATS to distant parts
/ of the world in search of exclusive
material.
! Guarantees Unbiased Reporting.
There are unique and priceless
| qualities in the cooperative char
acter of the Associated Press that
not only operate to keep the cost
of adequate basic news coverage
within the reach of the small news
paper, but that are reflected in the
news report itself.
The very nature of the Asso-
ciated Press organization guaran-
tees objective reporting, unbiased
and uncolored report of each of
the events about which it tells.
The member newspapers, Coop
Grating together through the .Asso-
ciated Press, represent all shades
of political, economic and religious
opinion.
!, "A news agency report of world
and national news Is vital to small
newspapers because they cannot
afford to send their own reporters to
distant points where the most inter-
esting or most important news events
might take place.
AmCdtCHCu WIFI DcStTuCtiOH.
Small newspapers do not and
cannot send their stats to Wash
ington to sit in on presidential press
conferences or to observe the
deliberations of Congress, nor for
that matter to describe the fascinat-
ing details of a World Series baseball
game.
The unique and priceless qualities
inherent in the character of the A. P.
organization are threatened with
destruction if the theory of the
Antitrust Division of the Depart
ment of Justice should be sustained
IN the course of its attempt to get a
forced A. P. membership for the Chi
cago Sun. The loss to the smaller
newspapers over the country-and
consequently to newspaper readers
as a whole-would be tragic"

TOUGH: Roane Waring, newly
elected commander of the American
Legion, declared in speech before
the AF'L convention in Toronto, Can

aried employees.
CONDEMNED: Norway's govern
ment-in-exile demanded from Lon

TIRES FOR ALL:
Is OPA Program,

A national stock pile of "all the
idle passenger car tires in the coun-
try" must be created if the govern
ment's plan to provide tires for all
essential mileage is successful,
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son has announced.
The stock pile is necessary to car
ry out the following five steps in the
government plan:
/. Rationing of used tires and re-
caps, and new tires now in stock.
2. Actual control of each cars
mileage through the rationing of
gasoline.
3. Compulsory periodic inspection
of all tires to guard against abuse.
4. Denial of gasoline and tire re-
placements to drivers who persist
emily violate the national 35-mile-an-
hour speed limit.
5. Capacity use, through car shar-
ing, of every car on every trip so
far as possible.
Sources close to the price admin
istrator stated that the stock pile
will be built up through an appeal
for voluntary sale of all tires in
excess of five for each car.
Replacement tires will be the
minimum grade" necessary.

UD dBit

From the Office of Price Admins
tration came details of new formu-
la to raise somewhat the prices in
IL major groups of foods. Such ac-
ton was declared to be necessary
because of the difference between
prices charged by various dealers
at the time the original price cell
ings were applied. Some inequali-
ties between wholesale and retail
prices were found to be working
hardships on dealers.
However the expected increases
were not expected to be very large.
One or two cents per item was esti-
mated as the possible increase.
Affected were prices on canned
vegetables, canned fish, sugar, cof-
fee, dried fruits, breakfast cereals,
cooking and salad oils, rice, lard,
hydrogenated shortening and other
shortening. Use of the new ceiling
is optional on all items except lard
and dried fruits; on these it is COM
pulsory.

SHADES:
OF Gangdon1 Days

Shades of Chicago's sizzling gang
dom fell over that city again as
Roger ("Terrible") Touhy and six
other convicts shot their way out of
the Illinois Statewide prison in one
of the most daring and brazen es-
capes in crime annals. With Touhy
was his old gangland aid, Basil
(''The Owl') Banghart, an extreme
ly dangerous criminal. The pair
had been in prison since 1888 when
they were convicted for the kidnap-
ing of John ("Jake the Barber")
Factor. During gangland's hey-day,
the Touhy gang was often in con-
flict with Al Capone's famous mob.
State officials began an immediate
investigation of the break to deter
mine the manner in which the con-
victs had been aided from the out
side. Early in the inquiry Governor
Dwight Green of Illinois issued a
statement to the effect that: "There
is no doubt that guns were SNUG
gled in from the outside"
AS a ''kill or capture" hunt was
launched on an intensive scale
throughout the Midwest, some de-
tails of the break were made public
1t was revealed that Touhy and the
others grabbed prison garbage
truck, drove across the prison yard,
threw a rope ladder across the
wall, shot and wounded a tower
guard. Then they seized his car
keys, fled down the towers stairs to
the outside and sped away in the
guards car.
The wounded guard was the first
to be questioned by officials after the
break and was subjected to lie-de-
tector test.
Later the escape car was discov-
cred in Villa Park, a Chicago sub
urb, but reports from various points
in the Midwest indicated that pos
sibly the convicts had split up and
made for other sections of the coun-
try.
During the first three days follow
ing the break the convicts were re-
ported seen at points in at least six
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, In
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin.

CHINA:
End OF a System

On the eve of embattled China's
national anniversary celebration,
citizens of that country had some
thing to cheer about besides the
valiant efforts of their armies
against the invading Japs. This was
the announcement by Great Britain
and the United States that these
countries were taking prompt steps
to abolish the system of extra-terri-
torial rights enjoyed in China for al
most a century.
In the United States, this infor-
nation was communicated to Chi
nese Ambassador Wei Tao-Ming by
the state department. Under the ex-
tra-territorial rights system, U. S.
and British citizens enjoyed certain
privileges, among them the right of
their court for offenses committed
in Chinese territory.
Usually crimes and misdemeanors
of foreigners in another country are
tried under the courts and laws of
the nation in which they occur.

RUSSIAN FRONT:
Movement to Position

Military experts were describing
the fighting on the Russian battle
front as "that in-between period"
during which Adolf Hitler's forces
were struggling against time and
weather that will soon turn this fight
ing from a war of movement to
a war of position"
Stalingrad had been heap Of rub
BILE for days before the Nazis de-
clared that frontal attacks on it had
ended. There was still heavy street
fighting, however, and the outskirts
of the vital Volga river port were
witnessing some of the severest
losses ever afforded Nazi military
might.
AS they stood before Moscow
year ago and waited for the coming
of the harsh Russian winter, so
Joseph Stalin's army had made its
stand within the city that bears his
name. There were reports that be-
cause of this stand the main weight
of the Nazi power in Russia was be-
ing shifted to the Caucasus.
Though this shift appeared to be
temporary, official Moscow sources
were reporting local successes in
crushing stubborn Axis resistance
southeast of Novorossisk, an impor-
tant locality. With the Grozny oil
fields as their current objective, the
Nazis continued to drive forward in
that area.
In the Baltic sea, Russian war
ships sank five Nazi transports and
Moscow sources claimed that the
Soviet marines" on the ships of the
Volga had aided materially in the
defense of Stalingrad.

SOUTH PACIFIC:
An Inspection

The Japs had retreated swiftly
through the Owen Stanley mountain
range of New Guinea and the Unit
ed Nations forces were on the con-
slant alert for trap as they pur-
sued him over the rough terrain.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur went in
for look around. With him on an
inspection tour that carried them
deep into the mountain country was
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey,
commander of the Australian forces.
Before the trip into the mountains,
the official party inspected Port
Moresby,s docks and airdromes.
Macarthur praised the work of an
American engineers unit in build
ing these airfields.
Travelling by jeep, General Mac
Arthur had a first-hand view of the
difficulties encountered in fighting a
war in this area. He talked to sup
ply officers moving food, munitions
and equipment over the steep trails.
His general impression of progress
of the fighting was reported to have
been favorable"
Meanwhile reports from Guadal-
canal in the Solomons told of some
successful air warfare by U. S. ma
rine and navy fighting planes. In
one three-day period the score in
this area was set at: Jap losses
q bombers and IA Zero fighting
planes; U. S. losses-two planes.
In one day U. S. forces at Guadal-
canal shot down % out of Is bombers
in a Jap attack force. Also five of
20 Zero fighters accompanying this

run extremely high in proportion to

PROTEST.:
From Chile

Chilean Ambassador to the United
States, Rodolfo Michels, was not long
in filing a formal protest to state
ment by Sumner Welles, undersecre-
tary of state, which said that Axis
agents were operating in Chile and
Argentina.
Michels and Welles later met with
President Roosevelt. Following this,
Michels emphasized that this con-
ference was most cordial. If so,
this was deemed highly favorable to
continued good relations between
the countries inasmuch as Chile's
president, Juan Rios, was expected
soon to arrive in Washington on a
state visit.
