| Only One Paper
Told of MoIotov,
| Price Asserts

Newspapers and radio broadcast
ers with one exception we're COM
mended by Byron Price. director of
censorship, today for voluntarily
withholding news of the Molotov
visit to this country.
Mr. Price issued this statement:
The newspapers and broadcasters
of the country in general have per-
formed magnificently in withholding
information. about the visit to this
country of v. M. Molotov, the So
Wet Foreign Minister
The facts about this visit were
known to hundreds of newspaper
men and broadcasters. 1t was news
of very high importance. But the
voluntary wartime codes issued by
the Office Of Censorship had re-
quested that news of all such events
be withheld from publication or
broadcast for reasons of safety until
official announcement was made.
The result was that. so far as
we have been able to learn, no pre-
mature mention of the visit was
made on any broadcast or in any
newspaper OF the United States ex-
cept one. This is performance
which reflects great credit upon the
patriotic self-discipline of the pub
fishing and radio industries
The one newspaper in which the
story was published was the Phila-
delphia Daily News. The publisher
of the Daily News has assured us
that the code was not violated in
tentionally. but so far he has made
no satisfactory explanation of the
manner in which the error oc-
cured

venge for the destruction OF the
village and populace OF Lidice In

Legation here, that the brave,
wonderful pilots of the United Ma

villages and for every defenseless
man, woman and child in the occu-
pied countries, at least the same

The monarch. who Is here for a
week, made this pronouncement at
a press conference in the Blair
House, his official residence.
Accompanied by his prime min
lister, Emmanuel Tsouderos, the
King also participated in ques-
ton and answer interchange, during
which, under the regulations of his
government. the prime minister was
the ofiicial spokesman.
The pact signed by Greece and
Yugoslavia, they pointed out. con-
tanned the elements of a new order
in the Balkans to which other ma
tions in that area may also adhere.
Cooperating With Britain.
THE Grecian Army and Navy is
cooperating with Great Britain in
the war against the Axis" they said.
Asked what should be done with
Italy after the war the Prime Min
lister replied with one word, Peace"
The one thing which has i'm
pressed the Greek officials most
since arrival, the Prime Minister
said in response to a question, is
the great effort put forth by the
American people for victory
Are the Greeks able to resist
now?" asked the inquirer.
They have never stopped resist
ing was the reply.
The Prime Minister, when asked
whether he was answering for the
King or for himself. replied:
The government is one and in
separable."

ton for the attitude of the Ameri-
can press and the American people.

to the United States" he said, Il
have come with the prime minister,
Mr.. Tsouderos, representing a fight
ing nation. which is deeply honored
to be among the signatories of the
historic pact Of January l, 1912"
This pact was the joint declaration
Of the United Nations.
L am in your Capital" continued
the monarch. ito renew to your
great President and to the American

but he also has an air bladder very
like a lung. and now and then rises
to the surface for a gulp of fresh
air. He needs lot Of oxygen. Held
under the surface, he would drown
AS proof of this, DR., Mann cites
the fact that Homer w. Smith,
lungfish fancier and author Of the
book "Ksmongo." In which he
argued that all breathing animals
including man are descendants of
the African lungnsh. lost several Of
the beasts because he kept them in
a jar so small that only the stronger
ones could get to the surface often
enough to gulp air.
In a drought, a lungflsh simply
retires into the mud. pulls an earth
clod over his head. bores a few holes
for ventilation and goes to sleep.
The Zoo now has two Of the three
varieties OF lungash, including one
from South America.
