u. S. censorship is on the pan.
II usually is, in a free country,
but now Congressman are OBJ
jecting to censorship and they
are in a position to do some
thing about it. Senator Gerald p.
Nye of North Dakota has sug-
gested an investigation of all
censorship practises. Senator
Frederick Van Mugs of Indiana,
chairman of the Senate Judic-
larry Committee, has ordered an
investigation of charges made by
Ernest Gruening, governor OF
Alaska, that the Office of Gen.
sorship has been illegally CEN
soring mail to and from Alaska.
Senator John A. Danaher of
Portland, Conn, is responsible
for having the Senate call back
for reconsideration a bill which
it had already passed, giving
congressional authority to CEN
soring of communications be-
tween the United States and its
territories and possessions such
as Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and the Canal one.
Background of Cover n or
Gruening's complaint against
censorship reveals why he is
sore. The COVE ~Or of Alaska, as
you know, is not an elected but
presidentially appointed Of
fetal, operating under the De-
partment of the Interior. Cover
nor Gruening recently went to
the Office of Censorship to ask
that his mail be immune from
censorship.

North The moment South op-
ened the bidding, North should
have decided, because he him
self held an opening bid, to 60 to

The only question was as to
the suit or no trump. and that
was settled by South's bid Of one
no trump. North should have
jumped to three. South was
right in passing after North bid
only two.
While I agree that North
South ought to be in three no
trumps, want to point out that
they are little lucky to make

spade opening would defeat con-
tract. And as the cards lie, a
diamond lead would upset the

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONs

Office of Censorship, figured
that il immunity from censor
ship were granted to the COVER
nor of Alaska. it would have TO
be extended to other govern
ment officials of equal or higher
rank. That meant there would
have to be created a master
white List" of individuals
whose communications from
continental United States TO
points outside would be exempt.
TOO BIG A RISK
Price started adding up the
people who would have to be on
that list. All cabinet officers, 500
congressman, 48 state governors,
governors of all the territories,
heads of all federal agencies,
federal judges-pretty soon he
had a list of over 1000 names.
1t looked like too big loophole.
Governor Gruenings mail and
other communications to and
from Alaska are therefore still
subject to censorship, even as
your overseas mail is subject to
censorship, but the governor OBJ
viously doesn't like it.
If the Senate goes into full
dress investigation of u. S. CEN
sorsfTip, it can unquestionably
find that censorship steps on the
private rights of a lot of people.
That Injuries their feelings, and
there is no more Vociferous
Americana than one who has
had his civil liberties trampled
and kicked around by his gov
eminent.
This censorship business is ad-
mitedly a wartime nuisance, dis
tasteful even to the censors
themselves, who do it only as a
duty. They are charged with
preventing the passage OF any
information which may give aid
or comfort to the enemy. Other
way around, they are charged
with aiding in the protection of
American security. In protecting
American lives and property,
they probably lean over back
wards, figuring that in such cas-
es too much censorship is bet
ter than too little.
COULD BE A RUMPUS
The one point on which the u.
S. Office of Censorship will be
open to criticism is if it has al
lowed misuse of information
which has come into its hands
during the process of censoring.
For instanee::
The u. S. Office of Censor
ship prepares today an extreme
ly confidential resume of infor-
nation which its censors have
culled from mmunications
coming under their inspection.
This digest of information is Civ
en- restricted circulation among
top government officials, and it
is considered valuable to the
government in shaping poll
cies.
But II II should ever be prov
ed that this secret summary or
any other censored communica-
ton has been copied, shown to
any one who did not have an Of
fetal right to see it, or misuscd
in any way to betray constitu-
tional right of privacy as Cover
nor Gruening and others may
charge openly later on, then CEN
sorship will be in the soup and
you will hear a lot of loud and
loose yelling that u. S. censor
ship has become a gestapo.
The Office of Censorship ma
turally takes every precaution
TO see this does not happen.

Former U. s. Attorney General Marries Fourth
 Time; Bride Is B

Homer s. Cummings, former U. s, Attorney General and long a power in Connecticut politics, was married for the fourth time yesterday. In a ceremony at Cockeysville, Md, the 72-year-old lawyer took as his bride Miss Julia Alter, 32-year-old radio writer and former secretary to the late Floyd Gibbons.
 "She is not a career girl" said MT. Cummings of his wife after the ceremony. The wedding came as a surprise to Cummings friends in Washington, where he has been practicing law.
 A former resident of Stamford, MT. Cummings served as U. s. At torney- General from March 4, 1883, to Jan. 2, 1939
 His first wife was Helen w. Smith, of Stamford. They were divorced in 1907. He married Mar guerite OWings of Darien in 1909, that marriage ending in divorce in 1928. In April, 1929, he married Cecelia Waterbury, who died in 193G.

BINGHAM ACCEPTS
 $3,SOO OPA POST
State Senator Submits Resignation to Governor;
 Place Remains Vacant

State Senator Alfred M. Bingham (D), of Salem, has submitted his resignation to Gov. Robert A. Hur- ley, he said yesterday. He has ac- cepted appointment to $500 year post as OPA field supervisor under State OPA Director Chester Bowles.
 Under the state law, Mir. Bingham could not hold state office while employed by the federal govern ment. In addition, the Hatch Act would prevent him, as a federal employe, from taking part in poli- tics.
 The son of former U. s. Senator Hiram Bingham, a Republican, MT Bingham was elected to the state senate as Democrat in 1940 and was a prominent member of the General Assembly during the 1941 session. A liberal in politics, he pressed for several important reform measures.
 His place as state senator will remain vacant, unless there should be call for a special session of the General Assembly. In that case a special election in the 20th dis trict might be necessary.
 MT. Bingham said he regarded his resignation as a mere formality since a special session seems very remote and a new legislature will be elected in November.
