Noted Movie Star Blasts
Way Into Local Circles

A California cyclone struck Will
mington during the past weekend
when Lionel Stander, the movie
star with the battering-ram jaw

a rusty metal plate, breezed his
devil-may-care way into the city.
In his inimitable croak, Stander
sounded off for the edification of

when questioned about his work
in the Army. ''I'm in the Army
now and the movie career is left

shoreman who looks the part.
Stander enlisted in the Army Air

refusing a commission and still

, affecting their own business.
Pointing out the possibilities OF
pcst-war restraints on newspaper
activities and expressions, he
says:
'Affected itself. and cropping
blindly for security, the American
press could well afford to draw
favorable attention upon itself
through a crusade for world &C
ceptance of the status upon which
il has been built Worldwide ad-
vocacy of the principle of a free
press and what it takes to make
free press successful would
strengthen the standing of a free
press in the United States.''
In such a move, he continues,
the press should take as its pre-
mise the fact that suppression and
control of the press by govern
ments constitute a prime cause OF
wars. Exclusive access to the
news of governments can only be
gained by news service through
it's subordination to the govern
ment that affords such access.
That means that the government S
news story can be told in only
one way, the governments way,
with the resulting perversion of
the truth when necessary to serve
that governments purpose.

past has "contirbuted to cause

worldwide press freedom, the As

At the first light on Friday, en-.

vaders were repulsed, except at
TWO points, with considerable cas-

Then the Germans with local air

hoping to pin down our troops
while the enemy consolidated his
nold upon the bridgeheads he had
established. Wave after wave came

British anti-aircraft gunners gave

Vatutins Warriors Push
Closer To Korosten Area

, about to unleash powerful new
drive beyond Smolensk toward
Vitebsk and Orsha.
But the drive beyond Zhitomir
toward Poland gave the German
command its biggest worry.
The Russians, making their
deepest westward penetration of
the war, as they neared the pre-
war Polish border. were 220 miles
from the foothills of the Carpa-
THAN mountains in their efforts to
create an enormous death trap
for hundreds of thousands of Ger
mans battling far to the southeast
/ in the Dnieper Bend and along
the lower stretches of that river.
Berlin lies $40 air line miles
from fallen Zhitomir, or roughly
the distance from New York to
Chicago. The Red army has rolled
more than that distance from Stall
ingrad in a year of almost steady
fighting.
The loss of Zhitomir, which the
Germans still had not acknowledge
ed, threw the whole German Uk-
rainean communication system in
to confusion. The Soviet seizure
Of Korosten and Berdichev would
confront the enemy with a decision
either to flee from its exposed
salient along the lower Dnieper
or risk enlightenment and annihi-
lation on a scale perhaps greater
than the Staingrad disaster.
Thirty-five miles southwest of
Kiev at Fastov the Germans still
were counter-attacking but were
being repulsed, Moscow said. The
Russian column battering against
the enemy there was within AS
miles of the Rumanian border,
seeing to seal off Germany's
Dneper bend forces.
The Moscow newspaper Red
Star said the Germans, when
driven from Zhitomir, hurried
fresh tank divisions to Fastov to
try to stem the Soviet flood there.
Instead of finding the Russians
weak at Fastov. Red Star said
the Germans discovered they were
as strong there as elsewhere and
that the enemy suffered large tank
losses.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. u
A crusade for guarantees in fu-
ture peace treaties of worldwide
press freedom, on the premise
that universal dissemination of
the truth would make the chance
OF war remote, is proposed by
Kent Cooper, executive director of
the. Associated Press, in a survey
CD Journalism in Wartime" pub
lished today.
The study, released by the
American Council on Public AT
fairs, includes contributions from
more than score of leading
news executives, writer's, advertis-
ing men, and others on various
phases of newspaper responsible
ties and contributions in wartime.
Particularly, Cooper argues for
free and direct access to news of
all governments, by foreign cor
respondents equally with domestic
reporters, and equal facilities for
transmission to their own coun-
tries.
Availability of news at the
source" he says, with the re-
sulting competition in getting it
and preparing it for publication
UNDERSTANDABLE, will lead to the
disclosure of the truth to all peo-
Piles. And it is the truth that
makes men free. Governments
never have an easy time melting
free men to war. Thus if the
truth is available. men everywhere
will be free and there will be less
likelihood Of war"
Although he says it is too much
to expect" that newsmen will sit
at the peace table after the pres
ent war, Cooper expresses doubt
whether any politician or soldier
can have any better understand
ing of most of the causes of war
than accomplished newspaperrnen
of international experience"
He suggests that self interest
should lead newspapermen for the
first time in history to unite in
demanding peace treaty clause
