Job Talk About Censorship
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 The Record frequently has attacked the policy of the Army and Navy in suppressing news.
 Not news that could possibly help the enemy. None of us wants that kind of news given out.
 But news the enemy already knows
 We believe it is dangerous to keep from the American public news already known to the enemy. We know that Americans take bad news They have proved it ever since Pearl Harbor
 The situation has improved since the Office of War Information set up last June 13 under Elmer Davis
 But it is significant that Davis felt it necessary to say, recently, that up to the time he talked with Navy representatives that day all sinkngs of major United States naval vessels have been reported.
 He made that statement to end runlors of heavy losses still being concealed--rumors that start not so much through enemy propaganda as from lack of public faith in official communques and nouncements ..-..--..a
 It is probably significant, too that this week a high h-ranking OWI official resigned He is Paul c. Smith. He resigned not only his job with owl, as Davis rght-hand in the direction of our information, but also his commission as lieutenant commander given him when he handled Navy De- partment news. He is entering the Marines as a private.
 Does this resignation reflect the dissatisfaction of very able man? Our guess to the answer is "Yes"r
 There is another aspect of handling news-the part played by newspapers
 good example of the newspapers responsibility be seen in recent mornings editions.
 There were two important stories on the wires regarding the critical situation in the SolomonS.
 One was the Navy conmunique saying that Japanese losses Guadacanal have been very heavy in comparison with ours"
 Later a story from Pearl Harbor, based largely the reports of Navy and Marine officers recently returned from Guadalcanal. It told of the vital need for supplies and equipment in sufficient quantity and of good enough quality to combat the numerically superior Japanese. Their report made it clear that the situation critical
 In recent editions The Record emphasized the story felt told the real situation, the story from Pearl Harbor Some newspapers stressed the very heavy losses of the enemy, without even adding the Navys qualifying phrase lin comparison with ours
 Both the Government and the press have serious responsibilities in giving the American public the plain facts about the
 The Record has insisted that the people be trusted with the truth We pledge ourselves to pre- sent the facts they received without tryins to gloss over unpleasant realities

filled with flowers of many hue-"and without thorn the rose"
 Man has accomplished such wonders in mprov- ing plants that thorness rose need not excite our special wonder Take the apple tree in our orchards. It comes direct from the wild apple which is so thoriny that it is than honey locust But through the ages all the thorns have been bred of it and it is now respectable smooth -barked tree. Consider that glory of autumn, the chrysan- themum: in it's original state in Mexico it was not much more than colored daisy, yet we have trans formed it into of the largest and most varied of flowers
 The United States has been granting patents on plants only for the last l2 years Now the hortcul- turist is assured if he has accomplished something worth while, of proper protection, and we trust of proper remuneration. Certainly wish well to this grower of who has removed it's thorns

story of war short of war.
 Petain has been hailed as the great hero of Verdun. Attributed to him for generation have been the words. They shall not pass!" Ac- tually those words were written by typewriter Strategist of 1916 and put into Petain's mouth He never said them Actually Petain was for surrender to the Germans in the last war, just as he was for sur render in 1940. He has always been for war short of war.
 What happened at Verdun in 1916 is told by Marshal Joffre.
 T constantly recalled to General Petain the necessity of taking ac- tion," Joffre wrote in his memoirs T looked around for some means of removing Petain from the Verdun battlefield-he had gone so far as to declare over the telephone to Casteinau that they could not hold a week"
 Again in 1918, Petain was even more of an appeaser. Tn the Battle of the Somne, Field Marshal Mont gomery- -Massinberd described con- ference with Foch and Petain at which Petain wanted to withdraw the French armies, leaving the Brit ish to face the enemy alone.
 T have never heard senior gen. eral told off in public" said Mont gomery Massinberd, 'as was Petain by Foch on that occasion
 After the war, however, the Roy alist- Fascist crowd in France rallied behind Petain and built up a great myth. This was increased by the big French munitions firms, working hand in hand with Krupps. Whether the Germans actually groomed Pe- tain for the job he was to hold after the fall of France is doubtful. But certainly Petain thought the Nazis were friendly, and trusted them. For he was one of those who, during the fateful days of June, 1940, held out against setting up a French government ill Africa, as Roosevelt long had urged the French to do.
 Now, two years later, a French government is in Africa. France proper has been invaded, and France once more may be the battle-ground over which Allied Nazi armies strug-1 gle. In other words, all the things Petain tried to avoid-through ap- peasement-have now come to pass Copyright, 1942, United Features

tional features, the seerS foreteu.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Discovery of sabotage and fifth column agents will increase suspicion among the people east and west. The stars warn that guilty persons in respon- sible positions will escape suspicion while innocent citizens will be wrongly accused of disloyalty. Dur ing the holiday season increased activity among spies is prophesied New York. San Francisco, Los An geles and Washington, D. O., will be centers of subversive agencies which are operated according to novel and original patterns. Again the seers warn of enemy inside jobs in the way of explosions and fires. Vigilance must be untiring and thorough, especially on the seaboards.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Evil portents are discerned as ofrlens of growing friction among allies. Signs are read as presaging separate peace offers and secret ne- gotiations by Axis powers Lack of cooperation will be a favorite &C., cusation intended to. cause mis- understandings. Effects of the Nep- tune adverse influence are seen in deceptions through the medium of pretended friendships. Desperate situations will inspire desperate measures by the Axis

 Adverse aspects are strong today. There may be a spirit of uncer- tainty or unrest as the week begins In the business world.
 HOUSE AND HOME: For con servatiye persons who never borrow trouble this should be a busy day. Women should concentrate upon whatever important work outside the home has claims upon them. They are warned against scatter ing their energies. Domestic mat ters should be carefully directed so that the family does not lack any care, even though holsekeep- CTS are engaged in tasks that pro- mote war interests. The aged should be especially careful to guard their health and to avoid falls, for there IS a. threatening omen
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Regimen tation of skilled workers will be helpful in shops and factories. Ra- tionifig will become one of the everyday regulations and will prove successful in all parts of the coun- try Merchants will profit. Scien- tists will warn of future imitation which will be partially controlled within a short time. Banks will encounter many phases of the na- tional money problem as war ex- penses soar Compulsory savings, long discussed, will be accepted in a form that minimizes its objec-

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER p

Good and evil planetary aspects appear to contend today The clergy are well directed and will gain greatly in influence, the stars in- dicate.
 HEART AND HOME: All mem- bers of a family engaged in war service of any sort should appre- ciate the value of the most care ful preparation. The well-trained soldier and the expert nurse mean much more to the nation than the average man or woman Cour- age and resourcefulness are im- portant when combined with tech nical knowledge. In this machine war science is the keynote of achievement on battlefields and in hospitals This is configuration under which to plan for all-out usefulness in the war
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: As rivers of gold pour out for the prosecu- , tion of our part in the war there will be a predigality in expendi- lures which may be of wide con- cern. Haste makes waste in war costs and the United States has been forced to perform miracles without counting expenses. How ever. the American habit of living and spending generously may now prove costly. Astrologers forecast revelations of willfull padding of necessary cost reports and graft ing in small as well as large ways by persons whose greed overcomes their patriotism. Thrift will be exerted successfully in the new year.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Deinonstfa- uions of efficiency among thou sands of women in uniform will emphasize the fact that this is war ill which everybody must en- list in some special way Nurses will be greatly needed in the next few months and supplies of speedily trained young women will meet the growing demand for them. With the record of 30 million Rus sian women as inspiration the num- Der of Americans who serve brave ly will be augmented from week to week, the seers foretell.
 INTERNATIONAL FFAIRS: It is recalled that before the Sec ond World War started the astrolo- gers warned of its nearness. The seers prophesied United Nations reverses in the first months of widespread conflict but foretold victory after supreme tests. After our hard lessons in modern war fare. by trial and error splendid triumphs are to crown the offen- sive pushed by the defenders of liberty. The seers point out that much can be learned from the Ger mans who have worked out the science of all-out war by means of long preparation and wide ex- perience.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement. Unusual or novel voca- tions will be fortunate.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have varied talents and extraordinary strength of char acter except where romance inter feres with business or professional interests.
