STATEMENT FROM
LEON HENDERSON

Office of Price Administration
Washington, d. c. - National
Newspaper Week gives me an
opportunity to express my sin
cere thanks for the splendid CO.
operation the newspapers have
given the Office of Price Ad-
ministration.
In carrying the Governments
message on Price Control and
Rationing to the American peo-
Pile, newspapers are doing their
part in the battle of the home
economic front. This battle must
be pushed vigorously. Our arm
ed forces must be free to fight
through to victory without fear
of having their sacrifices sabot-
aged by uncontrolled initiation or
inequitable distribution of scarce
goods.

Nation Needs
Scrap Metal
To Win War

In cooperation with the ma
TONS newspapers, the Licking
county salvage committee is CO.
operating in a harvest the
scrap week, which started Mon
day. William M. Sergeant, chair
man of the campaign, hopes for
at least 500 tons of scrap metal
by the end of the week.
Depots where scrap may be
dumped have been located in stra-
tegic places, as follows:
South, lot next to the Styron-
Beggs building on South Fourth
street; East, lot west of the
Knights of Pythias building on
East Main street; North, old
Fourth street school lot on Mt.
Vernon road, and West, lot on
Union street opposite the Pure
Oil filling station.
1t is imperative that the CO.
operation of every man, woman
and child in America be given to
the salvage of scrap metal, not
only during this particular week
but for the duration of the war,
according to War Production
Chief Donald M. Nelson, who EN-
phasized that steel mills do not
have over a two weeks supply of
raw material ahead of them for
the production Of war materials.
'The situation is extremely SER
ious," is the word coming from
the War Production Board.

STATEMENT FROM
STIMSON

War Department, Washington.
The task of the press in war
time is peculiarly difficult. Pa
triotism and a scrupulous regard
for the necessities of military Sc
curity place curbs upon the nat
ural enterprise of newsmen
which are in direct conflict with
their historic prerogative of col
lecting and dispensing informa-
tion.
We have no Government-im-
posed censorship of news. Unlike
our enemies, we do not ask that
publishers create a world of fan
cy, in which victories and defeats
are concocted in the propaganda
ministries rather than decided on
the field of battle. American
newspapers are free to print
what they chose, remembering
only that certain types of in
formation must be withheld SO
long as they may give aid and
comfort to the enemy.
1t is a great satisfaction to
me that the press of the nation
has accepted it's responsibilities
Loyalty and freely. The cele-
bration of National Newspaper
Week seems a fitting occasion to
take note of this fine spirit of
cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
HENRY L. STIMSON,
Secretary Of War.

STATMENT FROM
McNUTT

Office of Emergency Manage
ment. War Manpower Commits
sion. Washington, d. C.-Total
war in these days calls for the
united cooperation and informed
effort of a Nation. The best
fighting forces we could place on
the battle fronts would be DOOM
ed if the industrial forces failed
to support them. Both the men
who make the guns and those
who use them are essential, but
it is vitally important that their
morale and that of every man
and woman in the country be kept
at the highest level. Were 1t not
for the splendid cooperation of
the newspapers, our progress to-
wards victory already would be
blocked by a lack of understand
ing. In another three months we
shall have more than II million
workers in the war plants. In
dustry and labor are joined in the
greatest production effort our
country has ever undertaken.
But this mobilization of work
ers for war would not have been
possible had the press withheld
it's cooperation. This support is
what Nation of newspaper read
ers expected. The newspaper
mans stake in this war is exactly
that of any other American. He
knows that defeat in this war
rould mean the wiping out of
the Bill of Rights, including the
cherished guarantee of free
press. I am convinced that
throughout this world conflict
newspapermen of America will
stand shoulder to shoulder with
the working men and the fight
ing men in their fight for vic
tory.
Very cordially,
PAUL V. McNUTT,
Chairman,
Federal Security Adm.

Newark Accident
Rate Higher

In the first seven months of
this year, twenty-five contes-
tants in the perpetual industrial
safety campaign being carried on
in Newark, worked 6,690,0O6
man-hours with 92 injuries, an
accident frequency rate of 1873.
Twelve of the firms represented
in the campaign have not had a
lost time injury thus far this year
The record for July was 971,-
672 man-hours worked with II
injuries, frequency rate of
17.5.
The July record and also the
cumulative record for the year
are considerably higher than for
the same period in 1871, but the
exposure was also much greater.
