Montgomery
Addresses
Press Club
Newspaperwomen
Told of Peril in
Spectator War

Starring Robert Montgomery In
the role of honor guest and speaker,
the Women's National Press Club
entertained at a luncheon yester-
day which attracted a capacity
house of members and guests.
The occasion, however, featured
1t. Montgomery, u. s. NJ, rather
than Robert Montgomery, movie
star.
Presenting what he believed to be
serious difficulty in the prosecution
of the war, 1t. Montgomery deplor-
ed the fact that the conflict seems
to possess a remote quality" even
to those who are near the scenes
Of action.
People, he urged, must be made To
realize that bombs falling on Soera-
baja, for instance, are falling, in ef-
feet, on our factories in Detroit, ouI
inland and coastal towns and on
every one Of the United Nations.
He had noted this spectator" atti.
tude in England, even under bhtz
when those who watched falling
bombs several miles away seemed Il
disassociate themselves from th'
scene they witnessed, he continued
The fact that things happen 81
fast" in modern war might accoun
for this attitude in part, he said
but described its effect as "very
dangerous"
| It Is the role of the press to make
the war a human story" 1t. Mont
gomery suggested, and warned
against the use of too many sta
tistics as tending to "dehumanize
war"
1t. Montgomery also pointed out
the importance Of the imponder-
ables to the final outcome Of the
conflict. In this war, he said, there
has been little band music and flag
waving" In any country, but added
things of the spirit" are going to
win.
Although he answered a number
of questions after his address, this
period of the program was OF the
record.
Esther Van Wagner Tufty, presi-
dent of the club, introduced the
speaker at the luncheon, which was
held at the Willard Hotel.
