Suppression Of
War Criticism

PORTLAND, Ore. June &c
tUP).-Coh Donald Leehey Of the
army engineers advocates suppress
sion of hot news and criticism in
newspapers and believes Ameri-
cans should place blind faith mi
their political and military leaders.
Leehey, one of four speakers at
the Northwest Institute of Inter-
national Relations forum last
might. contended that II was UNI
necessary for news 10 be presented
while il is hot and that all opinion
should be eliminated from news
papers and radio except when it
lis in the interest Of building up
the national faith.
His views were opposed by the
letheF speakers, Palmer Heyt pub
Usher of the Portland Oregonian;
Donald r. Sterling. managing edi-
tor of the Oregon Journal, and
III. F. Peters, member of the Reed
College staff and a former en-
ploye Of the British Broadcasting
Company.
MAY LOSE WAR
Leehey said he believed the
United States might be in danger
of losing the war unless criticism
of the government ceases.
THE nation owes IL 10 the
mothers Of America who are
making the sacrifices and send
ing their sons In the armed
forces to all parts Of the world"
he said. THAT nothing should
he printed that will In any way
shake the confidence of those
mothers In the leaders under
whom their sons will serve"
Leehey said the confidence of
the American soldiers on Bataan
in Gen. Douglas Macarthur was
"the sort of faith Americans
should have in their leaders.
BENEFICIAL CRITICISM
Hoyt argued that only improper
criticism should be prohibited and
defined such criticism as that
which questioned the wisdom of
waging the war, He credited news
paper and radio critics with OBJ
tanning beneficial changes in pros
ecution of the war.
In reply 10 Hoyt's statement
that Donald Nelson's appointment
as war production chief resulted
from public criticism, Leehey said
he believed these changes would
have been made any way and
probably more efficiently.
Sterling expressed belief that
there was no studied plot to with
hold news from the American pub
lie, but criticized the timing of
official releases. He said manipu-
lation of news was second only to-
Justification as a crime against
truth.

NTRODU CLING Jeanne
Smith, sixth grade English
teacher at Macomb School.
Miss Smith and her family
lived in Mount Clemens briefly
while her father was United
States engineer in charge of
construction at Selfridge Field,
and her sister is now junior
craftsman at the field, so she
is thoroughly familiar with
Mount Clemens.
And last year she taught at
Warren, after getting her Bach
elor of Arts degree (l94D from
Wayne University in Detroit.
An honor graduate from high
school and Highland Park Jun
ior College, she went in for
sports, particularly archery;
choir; Biology club; and liter
airy pursuits during her under
graduate career.
Her fathers position with the
war Department has caused con-
siderable moving and travelling,
and developed a wide variety
of interests. Golf and archery
are her favorite sports now; mu-
sic, reading and writing are her
recreations. Last summer she
did some travelling, some Civil
ian Defense work in Detroit,
where the family now has head
quarters, although her father is
at present working in Saginaw.
With a quick adaptability to
wherever she finds herself liv-
ing, Miss Smith has already
joined the choir of the Methodist
Church here. She is living at
the Capron Hotel.

NJ A T E ERIALS FOR WAR

This country is learning fast how
you must go about fighting a world
war. We are learning that it isn't
enough to be united in our feeling
about the war but that we must be
united in action, too And that we
must be realistic prepared for
long, hard pull.
Nothing better shows the need
for realism than the fact that
lot of people thought tire ration
ing wasn't going to last A lot of
people thought that because we
might be ready TO turn out synthe-
tic rubber at the rate of 100000
tons year in IS months or so
tire rationing regulations could be
relaxed Immediately.
The price administrator killed
that idea pronto. He called it a
false hope" and said it is entirely
possible that every pound of syn
thetic rubber than can be produced
will be needed for military use.
We will do well to avoid all easy
optimism all the trends indicate
that things may get lot tougher
for the consumer before they get
better but things will get tougher
for Hitler and Hirochito too.
***
AS for unity in action we took a
long step toward that on the broad
and all-important war production
front when the President establish
ed the war production board with
Donald M. Nelson as it's chairman.
That action cleared the way for
concentrated attack under a single
leadership on the job of converting
our huge national industrial plant
from the uses Of peace to the work
of war. And that's how We'll beat
the Axis.
The past few days have shown
that Americans can unite on action
in other spheres too. The cam
paign to salvage waste paper and
scrap metal and rags and old rub
Der now has been organized in 20
States and the country is calling
on operators of the nations 1,700,-
600 retail stores to help. Now
that we're in this war and faced
with critical shortages of mater
