Senator Ralph o. Brewster, Reprsb-

less the forces who sponsored re-

.Casua|tyLists
Can Be Published

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-U.PO
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox said
today the Navy will follow the
Army example and permit nation
wide publication of complete cas-
ualty lists.
Knox said the new policy would
apply to all future casualty re-
leases.
The War Department previously
had revealed that it would permit
publication and broadcast of entire
Army casualty and prisoner lists.
The ban, which had restricted
publication to names of men from
the area served by each newspa-
per and radio station, was lifted
after a decision by administration
officials that the American public
can take bad news" is was said.
The previous order had been in
stitt}ted for security reasons -- to
prevent easy compilation of over
all casualties by the enemy - but
! this was found to be not sufficient
to warrant the censorship.
