Byron Price Urges
Rule Of Reason in
Broadcasting News
Warns Against Prediction!
That Convey Dangerous
information to Foe

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 1l.-Byron
Price, director of the Office of
Censorship, urged today that radio
follow the rule of reason" in its
role of voluntarily keeping informa-
tion from the enemy while con-
tinuing to give the public "compre-
hensive news about the war"
In an address to the annual con-
ventl0n of the National Association
of Broadcasters. Mr.. Price put the
final responsibility on station op-
orators not only for the proper
broadcasting of news dispatches. but
also for the activities of COM
mentators and news analysts. He
warned against speculation and
prediction which makes itself the
vehicle for smuggling of dangerous
information"
Concern Over CareleSsness.
1t is not too much to say, he con-
tinued, that the success or failure
of voluntary cooperation in broad
casting will depend on the degree
of control which patriotic broad
casters exercise over the operation
of their stations"
OF deepest concern, he said, is the
error which results from "throught-
lessness or carelessness," rather than
from faulty judgment.
ITO those who are trying to keep
information from the enemy the
magnitude of radio as a facility
of communication is appalling" said
the censorship chief.
Encouraging Element.
He stated the problem: "On the
one hand there are agencies of the
Government which, because of the
particular responsibilities assigned
to them, are naturally skeptical of
every disclosure. On the other hand
are the press, the radio and the
public ANXIOUS for a maximum of
news.
Each of these groups is eager
to help the other; in fact, the con-
soling and encouraging element is
that no one worthy of the name
of American, be he broadcaster. re-
porter, Navy officer, buck private
or plain citizen, wants to endanger
a single life by disclosing something
which should be kept secret"
Then he asserted: You can only
resolve such situations by the rule
of reason. Narrow thinking, on
either side, can lead only to ridicu-
lous results and national harm"

War Costs Top All Spending

Government until it entered the
World War in 1917.
In President WaShingtons ad-

alone, every hour of the day and
night, week days and Sundays.
It wasn't until Abraham Lincoln

Nation was split into Civil War,

The United States spending pro-
gram for this war is greater than
all the Treasury money spent for
all purposes from the time George
Washington was inaugurated until
Pearl Harbor.
From 1889 to December 7, 1941,
a checkup shows the Treasury paid
out a total of s197, ,18o 900 900. The
current war program of appropria-
tions and authorizations, including
a new s35 ,500,0O0,O00 Army request
which has been prepared for the
President to send to Congress this
week, totals $197, ,267 900 900.
While much of the current pro-
gram won't be turned into cash on
the line for a couple of years, it is
moving so fast that already the cash
outlay approaches 81, 900, ,000,0 900 per
week. That's more money than was

NO NICKEL FOR Sc PIECE

Some people have the idea that Congressmen do nothing but draw gasoline X-cards and make speeches. Actually, however, a lot of things would slip by the executive branch of the Government if it were not for watchful Congressmen.
 For instance, the Treasury re- gently was on the verge of coining a new nickel without any nickel in lit when Congressman Charles Dew ey of Chicago stepped in and point led out that the new nickel could not be used in the New York sub way turnstiles, nor in thousands of slot machines which sell refresh ments in factories and elsewhere.
 Behind all this is the fact that nickel is one of the scarcest of de- fense metals; so the Government had decided the new Scent piece should not be made of nickel at all, but of fifty percent copper and fif- ty percent silver.
 But suddenly Congressman Dew ey discovered that it is not entirely the weight or size of the 5-cent piece which moves turnstiles or slot machines, but a magnetism com- ing from the quantity of nickel in the coin Conner and silver it was also found, would not set off the mechanism. So the mint suddenly held up making the new coins.
 Since then it has been discovered that electrolic manganese, not a critical war material, can be used to supply the magnetism, and it will be used instead of nickel So the new Scent piece will function in slot machines and subway turn stiles after all.
