CHICAGO, Nov. l.-Col. Robert r.
Mccormick. editor and publisher Of
the Chicago Tribune, today called
upon the Nations press services TO
Join with the Chicago Tribune New
York News Service to demand in
unison reform of the dangerous
and dishonest censorship under
which we are operating"
Col. Mccormick discussed wartime
censorship In an address before a
luncheon of the Chicago Association
Of Commerce. After outlining rela-
tons between the press and those in
cnarge of conduct of the Civil, the
Spanish American and World Wars.
Col. Mccormick said:
In this war, as we learned from
a speech Senator Russell, Demo-
crat, of Georgia. made in the Sem
ate, our censorship has been mill
tary, of course. to conceal from the
enemy any news of value to him, also
TO conceal from the America people
any shortcomings of our command
Furthermore 1t has become a COM
plete political censorship to control
public opinion.
Calls for Combined Stand.
That the newspapers have yielded
to this pressure is not the fault of
the correspondents but of the pro-
prietors and managers of the great
news services. No single one of them
can resist this coercion alone. 1t
will take the combined demands Of
all of them to obtain the truth for
the American people, now so COM
pletely withheld from them.

me today TO ask the ASSociat ted

INSURES LOANS

Preference ratings on mate

Housing Administration, an
other unit Of the MIA, in
the same manner as priorities

Loans up to $4,000 can be
repaid in monthly instruments
over periods up to seven
years.
All type of conversion
projects must provide new
accommodations only for war
workers and their families.
The Homes Use Program is
essentially a localized opera
ton. Some 100 War Housing

these centers that the pro-
gram is conducted.

)lumbing the first year after

abrupt departure from established
practice but instead will be based
on a logical development Of trends
which were in the making before
the war began, the bureau points
out.
Plumbing in 1913 will combine
the best of prewar plumbing
along with the chronological proc
esses developed and FASTENED by
the war.
Postwar plumbing fixtures, the
bureau predicts, will be distinctive
and represent new advances in de-
sign, styling and sanitation, but
will not be bizarre or extreme.
The bathroom and kitchen will,
above all, be practical, embodying
all the time-tested mechanical
features which assure functional
efficiency and sanitation.

further test, Vigneau put his
full weight on the low hanging
wire-the heavy stables held

Fuller, who was outside poking
in the barbecue pit, called his
partner and showed him
damning bit of evidence that lay
in the aShes-a patch of mat
tresS ticking that had survived
the flames because it was too
wet with blood TO burn!
The conclusion seemed plain
TO the officers. Mrs. Hcnniger

then placed on the bed, where
she bled so freely that her at
tacker was forced to get rid of

thought.
AS they suspected, the neigh
bors were unanimous in their
high regard for the dead woman.
She was never known TO have
taken a drink, and considered
herself too old-fashioned even
TO smoke cigarets.
The detective partners next
tackled the motive for this UNI
usual crime. They searched the
county records and learned that
Mrs. Henniger was the owner of
the house in which she met her
untimely death.
Then, in checking with insur-
ance agencies, they were in
formed that Henniger had taken

that the fire had originated In
back closet. In front bed
room we found a woman who
seemed TO have staggered there
and collapsed"
The tWo suspicious detectives
decided TO visit the scene right
away.
The house was located a few
short blocks from Headquar-
tiers and two blocks from the
San Pedro waterfront-gather-
ing place for seamen from all
four corners of the globe.
Inside they were met by a
tall. cadaverous looking man
who introduced himself as Hiram
T. Henniger, husband Of the fire
victim. He said he was ship
builder by trade; then, in spite
of his obvious grief, he was un-
able to conceal a sense Of pride
when he stated his age as o.
wears.

lowed the exact same routine.
Then. after his wife'S funeral,
he began to make a leisurely
round of the waterfront bars
each evening, drinking a little
beer in each and occasionally
stoppG1g for a moment to greet
a fellow worker.
Always at $50 he would start
for home, and reaching there
would turn on the lights. Then
the detectives would see all the
lights go out except those in his
bedroom; these were not eXtin-
guished until the small hours Of
the morning.
