Navy's New Policy on
Release of News Hailed AS
Step In Right Direction

New York City (ILNS).-Hailing
the Navy Departments new policy
providing for the speedier release of
news, Editors & Publisher says, un-
der the heading, "Navy Censor Re-
lakes"
"Under a heavy barrage of pro-
tests from newspaper editors and cor
respondents, the Navy Department
apparently has eased off it's tight grip
on the news. To be sure, the first evi-
dences of new policy concern mat
ters which are scarcely current.
Eleven months after the event, the
public has at last been informed that
the famous Battleship x is the U.S.S.
South Dakota = which thousands of
people have known all year, but which
newspapers could not print.
"We also hear now that the COM
manding officers at Pearl Harbor will
not be brought to court-maritial for
their alleged negligence until after
the war-a fact which we seem to
have read several months ago. Also
of 1912 vintage is the release OF de-
tails on the sinking of the U.S.S.
Hornet.
at must be plain to the President
and his military and naval advisers
that no newspaper in America wishes
to violate any reasonable regulations
designed to promote the safety of our
fighting units. The press has cheer
fully complied with requests for Sc
crecy, even when no logical basis for
them was evident AS months passed,
it became more and more clear to
competent editors and Washington re-
porters that military censorship was
suppressing news to which the people
had a just right. The findings of the
newspaper advisory board of the Owl
made this plain in words which could
not be misunderstood, and the appar-
ent change in naval policy followed
Immediately.
''If the new order is to be perma-
nent, it will have to have similar sup
port in the War Department, even
more. from the President himself. Mr..
Roosevelt's attitude toward the White
House reporters in recent months has
all too often been either peevish or
arrogant, and in neither guise is he at
his best"

Labor and Many Other
Organizations to Help
Returning War Veterans

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Eight
government agencies, headed by the
Veterans Administrator and U. S.
Employment Service, the Red Cross,
labor organizations and civic leaders
in every community in the country
will aid in obtaining civilian jobs for
returning war veterans.
A bulletin issued by Selective Serv-
ice announces plans to assign to every
draft board unemployment commit
teeman, who will be the veterans
personal representative, agent and
adviser" in returning him to his old
job.
In addition, the bulletin announces
the creation of national clearing
house committee, consisting of repre-
sentatives from 16 organizations, and
said that state and local committees
were now being organized.
Labor on Local Groups
The function of local committees
will be to handle, as community prob
lens, "all unemployment cases that
cannot be adjusted by the reemploy-
ment committeeman" attached to the
draft boards.
The local committees will be COM
posed of persons from the l6 organi-

Safety and Health Ignored

Boston. State legislatures COM

Gil reported to the federation's annual
convention. About half the states have
no authority to make safety codes for
industry and not one state was given
authority this year, the council said,
adding that the need for passage of
the Norton bill for federal aid to state
labor departments to protect the
health and safety of workers is
amply demonstrated by the lack of
interest shown by the states in this
subject"

cations represented on the national
committee and from any other groups
which can help with the task.
The 16 organizations include the
American Federation of Labor, Rail
way Labor Executive Association,
and Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions. Others are: American Farm
Bureau Federation, American Iron

Disabled American Veterans, Kiwanis
International, Lions International, Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
National Exchange Club, National
Grange, Rotary International, United
States Chamber of Commerce, United
States Junior Chamber of Commerce,
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Committeeman's Duties
Each honorably discharged veteran
is entitled to have his problem handled
by the unemployment committeeman
of his own local board, or if that is
inconvenient, the committeeman of
any other local board.
The unemployment committeeman,
in addition to his direct responsibility
of returning the veteran to his old
job when possible, will serve as liai-
son man with Government agencies
which provide specific services for
veterans.
