WHY NEWS is CENSORED

An official explanation of the basic
policy of Government censorship is OF
interest to editors and their readers.
ElmeGDaviS says that the safety of
our men is helped by withholding some
of the news That is of aid to the
enemy, such as reports of battles ut
sea, movements of troops, the landing
of the American eXpeditiOnary force in
North Africa, and reports of military
operations and activities in our own
country and other parts of the world.
Recently Mr.. Raymond Gram Swing
broadcast the statement that the pub
lie became most critical of the military
news policy at Il time when that policy
WAS better than ii ever had been, and
Il great deal better than the public be
lieved. Aad Swing is accepted as top
authority on the radio in Washington
Mr. Davis says that the policy the
Government is following regarding
military news is policy based on the
two principles of telling the American
people as much as possible, and not
telling the enemy what he does not
KNOW already The public will be told
the truth, he says, but maybe not i'm
medately'

to, so that the woman worker would
be sure to get the proper proportion of
protein, calcium, phosphorus and iron
foods.
Miss Papcrt, in submitting the min
imum maintenance budget for the
average woman worker, pointed ont
that Sl,l6O.l7 does not allow for pay
ment of income taxes or purchase OF
war bonds, these being relatively new
problems for most of the women il
this group. Therefore, an estimated
Sl72.l5 for taxes and SliO.O4 for wal
bonds should be added to the budget
making total of 81, ,4SO.3S.
Unless this is done, she said, stand
ards of living for the woman worker
will be lowered dangerously.

TAKEN OVER BY THE
GOVERNMENT

1t is almost impossible to imagine
the extent in which the big hotels, par
ticularly along Ilie Eastern seabOard,
have been closed this Winter and taken
over by the Government. Great hotels
in Atlantic City and Miami, as well as
on the Chesapeake Bay, and even at
Williamsburg, Virginia, are under Gov
ernment CONTROL.
Some of the leading private schools
of the United States have been com
mandeered by the Army and Navy, and
colleges and universities are using
their facilities to meet Government
needs and demands.
Large divisions of the Federal Gov
emment have been moved out of
Washington into Richmond, Virginia
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania /; New York
City, Chicago and elsewhere.
Thus, the gIobal war pushes every
thing around.

WLB Drops Control
Of Stdte. City Pay
Issue Is Up To Government
Heuds. Joint Statement
Says

Washington, D. C.-The Federal
Government relinquished all manda-
tory controls over the wages and sal
aries of the 100000 employees of
state, county and municipal govern
MentS.
The War Labor Board and the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, in
Joint statement, placed upon the heads
of state. county and municipal govern
ments final responsibility for conform
ing to the national Stabilization policy
in adjusting the compensation of en-
plOyees.
The statement declared, however,
that the duty of public employers to
conform to the stabiliZation policy was
clear and they were invited to ask
advice.
The announcement was sequence
to the WLB decision recently that ii
had no right to rule in labor disputes
involving state and municipal agencies
and their employees. One member Sald
that if the board had no right to IN
terfere in dispute, it had no right tt
approve or dlSapprOVe pay rise vi
pay cut, even if there was no dispute
Since Nov y, the WLB and the In
ternal Revenue Commissioner had re
uuired that adjustment of salaries ol
wages for state, county or municIpa
employees be submitted for approval
The joint statement said that man.
adjustment cases had been received
from state and local agencies and tha
neither the board nor the commits
sioner has had occasion to question
any adjustments.
This experience indicates h
statutory budgetary controls are ol
Grating to keep salary and Wag
movements of state and local agencle
within very narrow bounds" the join
statement said.
