Young Praises D. {.
Warden Service Of
True Patriots
Mi|ehom, BoIIes Also
Speak, Former c Conducting
Question Clinic

The work of the AFRAID warden
service was praised warmly last
night by speakers who appeared at
meeting of 1900 senior sector
wardens held in the Departmental
Auditorium.
Chief Air Raid Warden William j.
Mileham presided at the meeting,
which was the first conference to be
held for senior sector wardens here.
John Russell Young, District
Commissioner and civilian defense
co-ordinator for the Metropolitan
Area, paid a tribute to the men and
women of the warden service, call
ing them true patriots"
During my trips around the city
during blackouts it has been inter-
esting to stop and talk to the men
on the corners doing civilian de-
fense work. They are from every
walk of life.
As Good as Best.
II believe that can say, without
Dragging. that the organizat ton
here is at least as good as any in
the country"
1t. Col. William A. Brewer, assist
ant chief of training in the OCD,
and Col. Lemuel Bolles, executive
director of District civilian defense,
also spoke briefly, and praised the
wardens for the service they are
rendering the community.
Mr.. Mileham introduced to the
sector wardens the various deputy
afraid wardens, inspectors and
other senior officers of the local ci-
william defense organization.
. During a question-an pc
riod these officials put to Mr.. Mile
ham some of the inquiries which are
most frequently made by civilian de-
tense workers. Mr.. Mileham an
sWered the questions for the benefit
OF the audience.
Building Liability Opinion.
In answer to one inquiry as to
what liability building owner in
ours If he allows his property to be
used as an air-raid shelter, Mr.. Mile
ham read an opinion from the
corporation counsel. This opinion
held that building owners were not
liable for damages to the person or
property OF those seeking shelter.
A movie on civilian defense ac-
tivlty and dramatic skit COM
pleted the program. The Police
Boys Club Band played before the
meeting opened and the colors were
presented by the American Legion.

WHEN CENSORSHIP
GOES TOO FAR

Fortunately wiser heads in Washing
ton overruled Chicago lamebrans, or this
country would have had It's first sour
taste of downright political censorship
last Week-the sort of censorship that
ntade eEHtler what he IS. Stain what he Is,
ala would have made MuSsolini what he
tEedsto be if he had been half the man
NJ hkthought he was.
Ghicago postal authorities attempted 70
take leaf out of the axis notebook when
they closed the mails 10 the National
Townsend WeekIey Saturday because
that publication expressed the editorial
opinion that a five per cent gross income
tax would be far better fer the nation
than sale Of defense stamps and bonds.
which was described in supplementary
economic phrases.
In WaShington-of all places eS,-there
enSued Eush Of common sense to the
head. and fine Chicago meddlers We're i'm
mediately ovemuled. The Townsend pa
per went through the mails, It's criticisms
intact and untampered with.
Personally. we think the Townsend
weeklvS proposal is as all wet as horse
blanket in blizzard. We hold that It IS
as economically unSound as some OF the
worst of the New Deal brainstorms, and
nothing could be unSOunder than that.
We're all in favor of defense stamps and
bonds-theyre not tax, they're an m
Vestment. and an investment IN the VIC
tory Of democracy.
But we would rather see defense
stamps and mail service and the national
capitol building itself junked than to
see this country give up the right it
guarantees indiViduals-whether they be
newspapermen or soap box orators-to
suggest what they please within the
framework of peaceful change, and to
criticize where they please when ma
tion&! issues are a ST..
All our blessed Democracy and all its
trappings from presidency to patriotism
would be as worthless as a Jap's reputa-
tior in Singapore if we permitted the
sort Of censorship which says to any
American: you can't criticize the things
your government is doing; you can't even
suggest other methods.

THERE ARE TWO KINDS
OF CENSORSHIP

There is censorship in this country to-
day, and nobody has complained with so
much as one belly-aching little remark
about it. 1t is the kind of censorship
which restricts news Of troop movements,
of ship movements, Of military plans
of anything and everything which would
give laid or comfort to the enemy.
Let it end there.
We don't want to see the Japs or the
NaziS get even whisper of information
about the things it would help them to
know we're all in favor Of the kind of
censorship which prevents publication
of anything like that. We don't want to
see the super-egotists in our own govern
to stifle democracy 50 they can set up
their own brand of dictatorship; We're
all against any censorship which would
give them foOthold in that direction.
If YOU can stretch your imagination
to the point Of believing it would give
laid or comfort' to the enemy in any
vital way to read in factiOnal weekly
newspaper suggestion for five per
cent gross income tax instead Of the sale
of defense bonds, then there's more elias
tcty in your reasoning than IN Herr
Joseph GOebbelS' widest fabricatlOns.
In wartime we expect certain amount
of hysteria, and we can laugh il off when
il comes in comparatively harmless doses,
but il is no laughing matter, and there IS
nothing harmless, about any federal at
tempt to restrict public criticism Of pub
lie business in this country.

HOW TO TEACH GERMANY
Riverside PreSS)

lklNerSlde Press
What are we going to do with the
GermanS?" many people keep asking.
Time and again they break over their
boundaries. make war on peaceful neigh
bors and try to conquer the whole world.
The balance of the peoples of the world
were getting along nicely until we had
to drop our peaceful pursuits. ride herd
on this nazi outfit, and endeavor to drive
them back into their own corral, if YOU
know just what We mean.
Once everybody was asking the same
question about the French. Most notably
under Louis " and again under Napo-
lean, France had the same urge that
Germany has now to bring the whole
world under its sway If anything, the
French had a better claim on dOmina-
tion than the Germans, for France had
long led the world in many Of civiliza-
tons more gracious aspects.
However, the world did not wish to
be forcibly subjected to French culture;
it resisted successfully. Eventually
France got all the fighting ii wanted.
1t has been said that, as a result Of the
Napoleonc wars and the loss of the fin
est youth in battle, the height Of the aver
age Frenchman dropped an inch
The lesson was drastic but it took.
1t looks like Germany has to learn the
same lesson. And it may be it won't take
50 long as we had first feared.

100000 tons of merchant shipping, but
$4,000 200, 600 anything, let alone dollars,

explanation, as OPA interprets

mess man had diversified.
Knowing that he couldn't make
his living on tires and nothing
but tires, he had taken on other
lineS-a filling station, soft
drinks, hot dog stand, fresh
country vegetables, a reStaur-
