Censors Do
Not Know All

washington, Nov. 15.-(UP)-Pal-
mer Hoyt, director Of the domestic
branch of the ONCE of War Informa-
ton, said today that some MILL
tary censorS never have heard Of the
voluntary code Of censorship fol
newspapers.
Writing in a symposium, Journal
ism In Wartime" conducted by the
University of Missouri School OF
Journalism, Hoyt said:
. Some of the practices INDUCED
In under the excuse of military or
naval security smack of the thought
processes of the middle ages.
The present system of the ap-
. plication of censorship filters down

ian authorities many Of whom
are unfamiliar with the wartime GEN.
sorship code; in fact, there are cases
where military censors have never
heard Of it,
The symposium was prepared in
volume form in lieu of the univer-
hty's annual Journalism week
which was not held this year be-
cause of travel restrictions and the
tact that most reporters and editors
are covering the war. The symposium
. Includes 80 articles covering virtually
every aspect OF wartime journalism.
The prominent participants criti-
cized many government restrictions
on wartime news but generally en-
dorsed the board principles OF vol
untary censorship.
