LIFTED FOR ALLIES
 COMING IN

WASHINGTON. July 1-Presi- dent Roosevelt has signed legislation to prevent a repetition of an incl dent which happened recently when a United States customs official on the Alaska border demanded that Canadian Airmen and ground endorsements pay duty on their arms and other equipment before entering Alaska to reinforce de- lenses.
 The new law accords free impor- tation privileges to the armed forces of any of the United Nations crossing United States borders.
 When the Alaskan customs off, cial messaged Washington, he was told the Canadians could be classi- fled as distinguished foreign visi- tors" in order to free them from the regular customs inspections and duties.
 One high official demanded the Customs mans name, suggesting that he would be useful after the war at a Philippine post where he could confront any new Jap inva- sion With copy of the United States tariff act.

The W ashingtOn
 Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON-After months of backstage plugging, the State De- partment finally has put across its idea of censoring the press on any news regarding diplomatic negoti- ations.
 Tine sales campaign to accomplish this started right after Pearl Har- bor when the press censorship code first was being written. At that time the career boys wanted all criticism of their Vichy policy barred from the newspaper, but the Army, Navy and other govern ment agencies demurred. They did not consider this as military infor nation of any value whatsoever to the enemy.
 Now, however, the censorship code has been restricted so that the American public must remain m ignorance of any diplomatic nego- tiations until the official cut-and- dried announcement is proclaimed.
 Behind -the-scenes, there is a lot of Senatorial resentment against this new policy of keep-the-public- in-the-dark.
 On Capitol Hill they point out that the press has performed an important function not only or keeping the public informed on for- eign relations, but has kept the State Department from putting across several phoney deals through the exercise of what Woodrow Will son once called ''pitiless publicity and the policy of "open covenants openly arrived at
 For instance, two years ago when the State Department secretly plan ned to lend $1OO,OOO,0OO to Fascist Spain, it was newspaper publicity unquestionably which blocked the deal.
 But today under the new cen scrship rules, newspapers could not publish such story until after Franco already had his $l00,000, 900 signed, sealed and delivered.
