Gen. Mcclure Denies
Discrimination in .
Handling {! War News
Insists British Press
Gets No Fuvoritism
On African Dispatches

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-Brig. Gen
Robert A. Mcclure issued . state
ment today categorically denying
what he said was recent edi-
torial comment in United States
newspapers falsely describing what
is purported to be . discriminatory
policy against the American press"
in war coverage.
Gen. Mcclure, chief Of stan Of the
United States Army in the Euro
pean theater Of operations, did not
specify the source Of the editorial
comment. A similar statement is
sued simultaneously at the British
Ministry of Information, however,
mentioned articles" in the New
York Daily News, December II. and
the Chicago Tribune, December IL.
Some Delays Of Week.
The controversy apparently con-
cerned chiefly dispatches from
North Africa. which in some cases
have been delayed more than 4
week.
"a Washington dispatch Friday
to the New York Daily News de-
clared that behind the scenes of
the North African campaign =
furious battle is being waged be-
tween United States and British
authorities over a discriminatory
policy against American news
papermen that is inflicting An
overwhelming time handicap on
this country's press"
London newspapers were de-
clared scooping the world daily by
from six hours to as many days.
Gas explained to the News by
spokesmen for the ONCE Of War
Information and the War Depart
ment," the dispatch said. the
reason is that because of the
limited facilities in North Africa,
our correspondents must route
their stories through London. Al
ready once censored at the origi-
nal filing point in North Africa,
the stories are again subject to
the blue pencil in London be-
fore being retransmitted to the
United States"
(The Chicago Tribune in an
editorial December IL entitled
"Via London" declared:
GA number of readers have
asked US why so much Of the
news of the American operations
in North Africa carries a London
dateline We don't know, but
We share the belief that the dis
patches should come to us di-
rectly from Gen. Eisenhower
headquarters, without being fil-
tered through another censor
ship or rewritten. The Ameri-
can reporters at the front are
capable. Their work is not likely
to be improved by being rewrit-
ten by British newspapermen

Discrimination Denied.
1T has been erroneously stated, ="
Gen. Mcclure said, that British
wire services are able to obtain
better transmission Of, dispatches
than American agencies; that the
War Once In London daily supplies
correspondents with informa ton
not available in Washington.
London journals have also had
Z reflection Of this false impression
In cables received from North Africa
which describe the holding up Of
American dispatches in favor Of
British stories. Still further eH-
dence Of the general misunderstand-
ing has been found in comments
concerning censorship delays in
London.
There has been no discrimina-
ton between the British and the
American press there has been
no unusual censorship delay in Lon
don and all stories marked cen
sored' are passed to the proper
agencies Immediately. Others are
cleared as quickly a possible. Most
North African dispatches have come
through United States Army head
quarters in LondonJ
The War gsnice in London has
not given out information that was
not available to correspondents in
North Africa II an occasional
British dispatch has been cleared
before an American story it was
solely the result Of good fortune in
communications and there Is no
record Of this occurring consistently.
Field Censorship DifYicult.
Field censorship IL always difi-
cult and time involving. The CON-
municat tions system between North
Africa and London and the United
States has been severely taxed since
the task forces made their landings.
Our censors, our public relations
officers and our communications Of
ficers are doing all within their
power to provide expedient and fair
transmittal OF all news dispatches.
It Is hoped the American press will
take steps to correct the false i'm
preston. wherever it exists"

Particular significance was at
tached to the Dakar announcement,
since it was at Dakar that Vichy

take the strategic base and withdrew
after shelling the town and damag-

HEALTH ARSENAL
HAS MAJOR ROLE
Defense Workers Furnish
Arms and Materials to
Services and Allies

An arsenal Of health has been
built up in the United States In the
last quarter century, which Is play
Ing as important q role among the
civilian population as II Is among
the armed forces, according TO the
statisticians Of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company. Drawing on
this arsenal OF health, the workers
on defense projects will successfully
accomplish the great Job that lies
ahead OF them In furnishing arms
and material TO their fellows In the
various services. and to their allies.
Outstanding discoveries In medical
science and notable developments IN
public health, the statisticians point
out, have made the population OF
the country better fitted to endure
the hardships and viciSsitudeS OF
modern warfare than their fathers
were at the time Of the first World
war. One proof OF his Is o reduction
OF more than 30 per cent in the
death rate among the companys In
dustrial policyholders In the past
quarter century.
with the virtual elimination OF
measles, scarlet fever, whooping
cough, diphtheria, and diaTrhea and
e1teritiS as causes OF death among
children In the last % years, not
only has there been O saving OF life
at the earlier ages but American
youth has also been spared the dis
abling sequelae OF some Of these dis
eases. Thus thousands are now
available for war and defense Serv.
ices who, under former conditions,
would have been rejected.
The tuberculosis death rate among
the company'S industrial policyhold-
ers has been reduced TO about one
nth the rate In 1917, the StatiStis
clans report, while the mortality
from syphilis Is less than one half
Of what II was In that year. Recent
research into the cauSative agent OF
influenza and Improvement In us
treatment encourages the expeeta-
ton that we shall be spared any
epidemic Of such calamitous proper
lions as that which swept America
In 1918. Pneumonia, with Its new
chemotherapy treatment, has also
lost much OF It's terror and the death
rate from this cause has dropped
more than 80 per cent since 1917.
An increase In fatal industrial ac-
clderlts may be expected, the Stats
ticianB point out, because many de-
tense workers are coming Into con.
tact with machinery and other haz-
ards Of war work for the flrst time
IN their lives In the rapidly increaS-
ing characterization OF the country.
However, this should be IN part OFF,
set by modern advances In industrial
hygiene and in accident prevention,
50 as 10 keep the toll lower than
during the last World war. =
In motor vehicle accidents the sta
tisticiafiS report 0 doubling OF deaths
In the past quarter century. This,
they point out, Is due TO an increase
IN the number Of cars on the high.
ways from less than 5000, 900 In 1917
TO more than $4,000, 900 today. The
clirtailment OF automobile traffic due
70 q lowered supply Of gasoline and
rubber tires may help keep even this
toll ct lower ratio than In the
past few years.
