Censorship Troubles

Specific criticism against censorship
has not been frequent. This is tribute
70 Byron Prices good will and efficiency
d very difficult task, and confirms the
Presidents wisdom in selecting a work
lng newspaperman for the job. Mr..
Price's lifetime training as press asso-
Station reporter and editor was aimed at
getting facts and presenting them objec-
lively, regardless Of who was hurt. AS his
ranking assistants he chose practical
newsnen with the same approach. AS
result, the Office Of Censorship aims not
to see how much genuine news it can
suppress, but rather to find ways to make
legitimate news available without injur-
ing our war efforts or aiding the enemy's.
Some details Of this have been told by
Peter Edison In a recent NEA article.
Because Mr.. Price is doing such capable
work In the sole justifiable field for CEN
cCrship, 1t Is doubly unfortunate that his
office has been pushed into adding duties
that are utterly inexcusable - that is,
into serving as what the less restrained
like 70 describe as an American Gestapo.
Governor Ernest Gruening of Alaska first
called attention publicly to the fact that
Censorship was acting as a gossip me-
dunn, extracting items from correspond
ence and passing them around among
government departments. These were
not confined to material indicating un-
lawful or militarily harmful situations,
but covered political and personal affairs,
Or. Gruening claimed. The Alaska exec
utive's charges were identical with those
made from Puerto Rico in a recent NEA
article. It is notable that both complaints
arise In connection with internal mail,
not international.
Censorship to keep the emmy from get
ting useful information is legitimate be-
yond dispute, even when there are dis
putes as to what would be valuable to
the enemy or as to what he already knows.
Censorship to inform reinforcement,
anti-espionage agencies Of treason or
militarily harmful facts can be argued
effectively.
But censorship to let Secretary x know
that MIR. Y. dislikes him personally, OPP
poses his policies, and is out after his
official scalp, is one thing we are fighting
to keep totalitarianism from bringing
here.

HenryE &. Dixey

The stage career Of Henry e. Dixey,
who died the other day following injuries
received when hit by bust at Atlantic
City, reads something like history Of
all that was Of Importance in the theater
from the late 1905 until the late 1905
His celebrated stage life embraced cSo;s::
fifty-eight years. His death this week
at the age Of "a removes one Of our his
toric theater persons, his roles including
q wide range Of characterization, from
comedy to serious drama to musical
comedy.
The older generation will have seen
him in the play "AdoniS", which ran $40
days in New York, q great run for those
days, beginning in 1884. He took his
first how, or did his first stage work, in
that play that brings laughs and tears
and misses and booS, "Under the Gas
light. He played in "Pinafore", in
"Ermine", in "The Moscot", "The
Sorcerer", Robinson Crusoe", and too
many others to mention in his early
theater days.
It is judged his greatest role was in
"Adonis" In which he gave his memorable
imitation Of Sir Henry Irving. He played
1.-THE Seven Ages. Others keep coming
to mind that have been talked Of and
noted by our Undetermined friends.
Dixey was handsome man, fine features,
and stage attitude not so much in
vogue today. He was in his day what
might be termed in the present day YER
nacular, a WOW and Knockout. AS a
matter Of fact a metropolitan headline
refers to him as ian idol Of the gaslight
era" Suffice it to say he enjoyed, right
fully one would say, a tremendous pop
ularity. He was David Garrick in solver
Goldsmith" and advanced from the
gaslight era to the very modern twen-
tieth century when he did "Mary James
Pa" and ever so many other shows Of
the next two decades. His life was the
stage, which to Henry Dixey was clean,
wholesome theater.

Willow Run

At last efforts are being made to over
take the flood Of discouraging rumors
that have come from the mammoth
bomber plant outside Ypsilanti operated
by Henry Ford. The owl has persuaded
the Army to permit brief, general fact
ual statement, and NEA Service has been
allowed to give the answers to con1e
unfortunate Misunderstanding. One
source of trouble appears to be that the
general public never has understood the
routine of mass production as originated
BY Ford and perfected in the larger Amer
lean automobiles plants. We have be-

A Modest Soldier

Colonel Royal P. Davidson, superintend-
ent Of the Northwestern Military and
Naval Academy in Wisconsin, died
recently In Florida. His departure Gre
ated little national interest because few
knew that he was perhaps the grand
daddy Of military INFLAMMATION. When
the bicycle first became popular in the
COS, Colonel Davidson mounted his
cadets. While the automobile still was
in the "get a horse" stage, Davidson put
an automatic rifle on a chassis, and then
continued experimenting until he had a
completely armored car. The British
Army sent experts to study his work. The
tank emerged In time to win the World
War for the Allies. Colonel Davidson's
contributions were recognized in military
circles, but the public heard little Of him.
He did not seek publicity. Now that he
is dead, here are few flowers for his
grave. .

First, II must be admitted that
continued setbacks In North Africa
are bound to be serious because
Of the effect on Spain, which has
q well-equipped, Naxi-trained

In Spanish Morocco, poised like
q knife at the supply line Of the
y. 8. Army.
There Is no use crying over split
milk, but all this could have been
avoided II the reactionary clique
In the State Department had not
deliberately stifled q Republican
Government In Spain and con.
sistently played into the hands Of
Hitler. fIitler's Spanish Fascist
stooges now constituted he biggest
menace to the American army,
and that menace will grow holder
with every American defeat.
II Franco does not move, how
ever, the long range view Of the
u. 8. military position is much
better than anyone ever hoped
last November. Inside fact is
that the invasion Of North AZ
RIGA was delayed three weeks
beyond schedule. Originally IL
was planned for late October.
Instead it came Just after cleo
ti0n In November.
Reason for the delay was large
" o matter Of getting supplies
loaded and embarked from the At.

rent in military circles Is that GER
tain high-placed military men,
not wanting Roosevelt to get the
political benefit from Q North
African victory at the November
elections, were not averse to de-
layed elnbarkation.
HIGH OCEAN SMELLS
Whatever may have been the
reasons, the indisputable fact Is
that the expedition was delayed
so long that the British were
greatly worried regarding the sea-
Sonal ocean swellS off the West
Coast Of North Africa and warned
US that o landing In small boats
around Casahlanca would be I'M
possible. Atlantic breakers run
extremely high off the West
