In addition to this mixup over
the Presidents trip, two other
recent cases of confusion over
news poicy, have served to IL
lustrate how difficult is the job
of Elmer Davis Office Of War
Information in trying to co-ordi-
nate the governments policy on
the war story given to the pub
lie.
The first of these is the case
of Rear Admiral Ben Moreell,
who popped off in speech be-
fore the building trades depart
ment of the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention In To-
ronto to the effect that, although
people can't live without labor,
they can live without labor UNI
ions as people are living WITH
out them in Germany, Japan
and Italy.
Admiral Moreell, being chief
of the B ureau OF Yards AND
Docks, is responsible for the Ma
vys entire construction pro-
gram. And 1t may be that in his
official capacity he has had SO
much grief with the building
trades of the A. F. of l.. that
he was justified in giving them
q piece of his mind in salty, blue
air, sea dog style. But it so hap
pens that the Navy has been un-

of three tricks precludes any
development play by giving up
another trick.
Declarer has threat cards only
in hearts and clubs. A squeeze
can operate only by finding the
shoppers in these suits both in

high intermediates in hearts,
this would mean first of all find
ing the hearts split So or worse.
Then it would mean finding the
king-jack-ten Of clubs all in the
same hand-not the king only,
because the queen cannot be
saved as the threat card.
This seems a very optimistic
assumption, yet 1t must be made
because there Is no other re-

turns with the low trump to the
queen, ruffs his last diamond,

CORNELIUS WE ~ GANDT
was born in 1871 in German
town, within two miles OF the
spot where in 1886 his ancestors
settled. He was educated IN
Pennsylvania and h has lived
there most of his life-since l9OI
he has been professor of English
literature at his alma mater, the
University of Pennsylvania BY
birth, lifetime association and
by reason of leisure to explore
he has become one of the au-
thorities on the state and its
ways. BY prediction, this inter-
est has turned toward the coun-
try rather than the city.
"The Plenty of Pennsylvania

Germ almost every aspect OF
PENNSYLVANIA living you could
imagine. Pennsylvania mines
are Just as interesting to DR..
Weygandt as her Pennsylvania
Dutch cooking or painting or the
Rambo apple or candlesticks on
tripod bases. The range Of inter-
est is. in fact, so wide and so in
terlocking as to be confusing.
The author Is forever setting out
on one kind of exploration and
ending up with another.
But it would be difficult to
find more information about a
gwen state in one book than DR..
Weygandt has collected for The
Plenty of Pennsylvania" or to
find It presented with more au-
thority or more charm.
Carl and Jessica Bird n

Is very different. The emphasis
is altogether on Philadelphia,
and it is predicated upon fact
most of us have neve: learned
in the 50 years before the colo
MES became independent, Phil
adelphia was the second largest
city in the British Empire. More
than any other American city,
and more than most British cit
les, it reflected the cosmopoli-
tn life. Better yet, it was also
the mirror of the colonies and a
sort of collecting pend in which
the cold stream of New England
culture was caught and mingled
with the best of the other col
onies.
BENJAMIN Franklin was nat
urally the center of 1t all, but

think, overemphasized h m.

speech and get away with it.

speech and get away with 1t.
In the Office of War Infor-
nation here Is set up what
might be known as the Office
of Oratory Control. II Is headed
by j n r. Fleming, an ex-
newspaperman whose job it is
to scrutinize the manuscript on
all speeches to be delivered by
cabinet officers and the heads
of government agen' les to make
sure that the ideas therein ex-
pressed are in the groove, and
in close harmony with admins
tration policies.
But young Mr.. Fleming's au-
thority is limited to the top
men only. In the Navy Depart
ment, Fleming can review the
text of Secretary Knox, Under
Secretary Forrestal and assistant
secretaries Bard and Gates, but
he can't touch the speeches OF q
single admiral or lesser officer.
The only check there Is on
the remarks of a naval officer is
two sections of Navy regulations
which prohibit officers from d.
vuleing information of security.
NAVY officers may submit the
manuscript of a speech or an
article to the Bureau of Public
Relations for clearance II he
wants to. But the Office Of War
Information has nothing to do
with 1t.
The second case of confusion
also concerns the Navy. In a
special press conference at the
Navy Department, Lieut.. Comdr.
John Smith Thatch stated that
no major battleship OF the en-
envy has been sunk by horizon
tai bombing in this war, imply
ing thereby that Capt. Colin
Kelly of the Army did not sink
the battleship Haruna In spite
of all the evidence which the
Army has that he did. This Off
cially sponsored Navy statement
certainly added fuel to the
flames of discussion on the rel
ative merits of land-based heavy
bombers versus carrier based
short-range dive bombers.
UNCENSORED SPEECHES
In the order creating the Of
flee of War Information, among
other things owl was charged
specifically to "co ordinate the
war international activities OF
all fe deral departments and
agencies for the purpose OF as
surfing an accurate and consist
ent flow of war information to
the public"
But the way this works out is
that while Owl has authority to
pass on all the press releases and
prepared statements to see that
a consistent story is told, Owl
has no control over what may
be said orally. And as in the
case of Admiral Moreell, it ha:
no control over the public state
ments of officials below cabine'
and sub-cabinet rank.
From these examples 1t car
be seen thai Owl doesn't have
the control over war informa'
ton that was perhaps intended
There are loopholes and lodges
which the various government
departments can and do use to
put out ideas which may not be
exactly orthodox.
On the other hand there IL
some news which Owl thinks
should be Civen out which 9th
err departments want to sup
press. Spot news on the sabotage
trials and on the Presidents re-
cent trip are the notable ex-
amples. Either way, 1t can be
seen how difficult Is the job Of
Owl in assuring the public OF
this accurate and consistent flow
of war information.
