Navy's New Secret
Weapons Are Best

Continued from page i

ton has been increased 1000 per
cent.
He paid tribute to the coopera-
tion between the ordnance bureaus
of the army and navy and said that,
unlike the last war, there was little
or no duplication of effort.
Some of the merchant vessels
in this war are better armed than
some of the fighting ships of the
last war he continued.
The success of our navy is in
a large measure due to its capacity
to repel air attacks.

DEFENSE IN DEPTH

Our modern antiaircraft de-
fenses might well be called a de-
fense in depth. The five-inch guns
the most outstanding antiaircraft
battery pa the World-are fired first
at incoming planes when they are
still at great distance.
Next used are the 40 MN. bat
teries with their tWo-pound projec-
tiles and terrifically high rate of
ii e. Any plane which survives
the first and second batteries is
subjected to the one-half pound
bullet of the 20 nm. guns.
ANY planes which are not SHOT
down when they run the gantlet Of
this fire cannot possibly use their
bombs accurately"
He repeated Secretary of the Ma
Wy Frank Knox's recent statement
that more than 1000 enemy planes
have been shot down by naval anti
aircraft fire alone.

Our ChiIdren's Milk

The CLIO Cost of Living Committee has disclosed
q shocking secret decision of Food Administrator
Chester Davis to suspend government aid to school
lunch and penny-milk programs, from which more
than five million children in $4,000 schools have
been benefiting
Donald E. Montgomery, former consumers coun-
sci in the Dept. of Agriculture and now member
of the CIO committee, also revealed that relief
milk distribution for low-ncome families is also
being stopped Davis's order.
In England where the milk shortage is
much greater than here, the children are given
first shot at it, with much larger rations than
adults, with free milk in schools and with spe-
ciay reduced prices or free supplies for low
income families
But in wealthy America it Is now actually
proposed to take milk from the mouths of mill
lions of children who can't afford their full
share of this essential food.
The school-milk and school-lunch programs have
already been hard hit by the withdrawal of WPA
aid, and if all further federal aid is withdrawn as
ordered by Davis, they will probably collapse.
The Food Administration is attempting to excuse
its scandalous order the grounds that the House
appropriations committee approved language which
may have been aimed at these programs
But this language was not approved by the
House. And the law as it stands authorizes pro-
grams Of this type and provides money for them.
The school-milk and schOOl-lunch program
must not only be continued 1t must also be ex-
banded until all American children are assured
the food on which their future health and
strength and the nations welfare depend.
Let Administrator Davis hear from you.

fers are made.
But McNutts order leaves such real manpower
problems untouched 1t simply prohibits essential

power situation, regardless of reason.
In critical areas there are already successfully
operating employment sterilization agreements,
worked out through labor-management coopera-
ton. In these areas, workers may transfer from
one job to another, under the terms of the agree
ments if such transfers aid in the prosecution Of
the war.
But McNutt has now imposed shameful
restriction these agreements in critical areas
namely that worker may not change jobs
because his pay is substantially less than that
prevailing in the locality in the same or SUBJ
stantialIy similar work." This means freezing
workers to sweated jobs at substandard wages,
regardless of the effect labor morale and
production.
The whole order negates the democratic and
effective procedure of labor-management agree
ments for employment sterilization and places a
most unjust burden on the workers.
On behalf of the CLIO therefore, Pres. Murray
calls for the scrapping of this order, and its
placement by labor-management job sterilization
agreements wherever needed
These agreements, he says, should include
proper safeguards for working conditions; should
permit job changes where worker can be more
usefully employed; and should guarantee workers
a minimum 40-hour weekly wage.

Manpower Crazy Quilt

The job-freezing order of War Manpower Chief
McNutt is a sad example of the distorted, piece

BATTLE OVER NEWS HANDLING

Not long ago we expressed our thoughts on handling war
news in an editorial entitled Lets Have 1t Straight" Now that
same issue has split the office of war information wide open.
The Owl apparently has two schools of thought about getting
war information to the public. One is composed of what might
be termed the advertising writer public relations man section
that believes the war should be glamorized like a high-pressure
advertising campaign and, if necessary, the bad news should
be SKINNED over and the good news emphasized. The other
school, for the most part experienced newspapermen, believes
that, within the necessary limits of censorship, the public should
get the news straight whether it is good or bad.
The recent resignation of some topfight newsmen in Owl
indicates that the "glamor boys" have at least won temporarily
a move that has brought the hearty condemnation of virtually
all the press in the United States. The strange thing about it
is that everything hitherto in the background and declarations
OF Elmer Davis, owl director, has shown him to favor the
straight news approach. Several times, when embarrassed ad-
mirals or generals wanted to withhold bad news, Davis went to
the mat with them and got results. Now he seems to have
changed tactics and the conclusion is unacceptable that he has
been subject to pressure from high places.
Another sign of deterioration of relations between the adj
ministration and the newspapers is the presidents recent "in-
vitation' to the press not to attend a United States conference
on food and refugee problems in Bermuda. Even the president
would not say that information from the conference should be
suppressed because it nigh. interfere with the war effort. He
seemed to think that the presence of the newspaper represen-
tatives would be disturbing to the delegates.
More disturbing to us are al. these signs of a growing trend
toward suppression and distortion of news. Our democratic
philosophy is based on complete education, and complete in
formation to the public. Then, when the public has that in
formation, when the subject has been thoroughly aired and
debated, it is supposed to be the people and their representa-
tives who join in making the final decision. The administration
heads now appear anxious to bypass this age-old process of
government in America. The information and the decisions
would be left to the leaders only and the people would no
longer share in the partnership. We would be the last to cry
dictatorship" but these recent moves to control information
are in the best tradition of the totaitarian governments. Isn't
a free press one of the things we're fighting for?

JOHN ETCHART

It is almost as difficult a task for us to express our sentiments
about John Etchart as it was Wednesday morning for his friend
and parish priest, Father Foley, as he stood before Johns casket
to pay a final tribute to one of Valley countys and Montana S
leading citizens.
We think that there was wel[told the true story of a many
sided man - successful man, a public-spirited man, a family
man and a Christian man.
His associates knew of his early and varied life, how he
reached an eminence on the western ranges through hard work
and thrift, a heritage from his sturdy forebears.
Those who came from all sections of Montana knew of his
wise counsel, his quick judgment and foresight in the many
offices he held.
His ~neighbors, and they were all there, knew of his unfaiing
and inherent courtesy and consideration in talking with them
and in helping them with their problems.
His children and his widow knew his kindiness and his
pride in his family.
His spiritual mentor testified that John Etchart realized that
in every man there are both a body and a soul and that he
gave attention to the care of that soul.
Truly he was a many-sided man. Not many are so endowed.
Few will be so sincerely missed.

Beet Prices Not
Affected by Cut
Made by Congress

The action of the house appro-
priations committee recommending
reductions of $240, 093 SAT in the bud
get in restricting activities of the
department of agriculture will not
affect the sugar beet program" says
Douglas Scalley, vice president and
general manager of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company.
Sugar professors have a definite
contract with the commodity credit
corporation which supports the adj
ditional price, to its growers, for
sugar beets. The funds for the pay
ment of this additional amount of
S1.50 per ton average are already in
the hands of the commodity credit
corporation, and their use for this
purpose is not dependent upon any
legislation or further negotiation"
Therefore" says Mr.. Scalley, re
CARELESS of the effect that this &C
ton may have upon the price of
other crops, it will not, in any man
ner, affect the price of sugar beets."
Mr.. Scalley also states that gov
eminent officials in Washington in
charge of the sugar program are
concerned with the great
threatened reduction in beet sugar
for the coming year, and are, at this
late date, striving to encourage the
production of sugar beets to the full
of the goals established.
1T is quite apparent" says Mr..
Scalley, THAT Chester Davis has
favorably impressed congress and
made a good start in his
difficult job of administering our
food program. !
