OWLS CONTRIBUTION
The information on the paper
came from Elmer Davis. director
of OWL; while the Owls contri-
button concerning closing doors
was put in the record by Rep.
Lyle Boren Of Oklahoma. chair
man of the committee, who
wanted TO know If it was typical
of the uses 10 which the $4,000
tons of paper were put.
Boren displayed pamphlets put
out by the OPA and the office Of
civilian defense. Rep. Clarence
Brown of Ohio displayed another
OCD pamphlet, You and The
War" and said.
II am told that 1000. 900 OF
these pamphlets were printed.
I am further informed that, out
of that 1000, 900. there are still
5000, 900 In the warehouse
unused on which we pay

Davis said he would find out il
Owl had anything no do with the
pamphlet. and that there must
have been a very marked over
estimate Of the demand for il.
Davis insisted that his office
should get credit for economies
already effected. and that others
would come he said:

do not think he was entirely
serious, but l find that the Ma
tional Research Council has an
ticipated him and has appointed
a Committee on Food Habits. In
the course Of the last two years
this committee has been develop
ing a systematic approach to the
problem of food habits in Ameri-
can culture and the methods which
may be used to change those hab-
its in times Of crisis, such as these.
That so eminent a body should
take cognizance Of such ideas, in
dicates that probably they do have
some bearing on the adjustments
and especially the maladjust-
ments, that are being made during
the emergency.
Some tentative results Of the re-
search have been published. In in
terviewing a number Of Americans
and foreigners and comparing
their food habits, it is evident that
the American attitude has been
greatly influenced by the fact that
we have always had more than. an
abundance of food Of all kinds,
whereas the European, even in
times that could not be described
as those of economic depression
has had to make adjustments in
ordinary food habits by the pres
sure Of necessity and limits Of sup
ply.
The American attitude is that
if you eat enough food that is good
for you whether you like it or
not1, you are then permitted to
eat good deal of food that you
like, although it may not be theo-
retically good for you.
This psychological attitude is
evidenced by the fairly well in
grained reactions Of the ordinary
cook, housewife and mother. For
instance, men and children are
supposed not to like vegetables. 1t
is woman's responsibility to see
that the family eats vegetables, by
coercing the children, cajoling the
men, by camouAaging the disliked
vegetables in different ways, with
sweets and desserts used as re-
wards.
A group Of American mothers
frankly don't understand how they
could get the children to eat what
is supposed to be good for them
without brides, and yet in many
areas Of the world-in highly cul-
tured areas-it is not the habit to
have desserts as part Of the meal
at all. This American attitude, as
conditioned by the mothers coer-
cion, has resulted in a state Of
mind whereby the growing boy can
express his rebellion against par
entail control by revolving against
certain foods.
These and other results may APP
pear somewhat fantastic and su-
per-psychological and yet it seems
to me that they have a good deal Of
sound basis. The one lesson is that
children should be encouraged to
eat as great a variety of foods as
possible and there should be estao-
lished early in life real liking for
a variety of foods. ! can only say

NEWSPAPER SUBSIDY DANGEROUS

A bill is reported ready for introduction in the senate which
would set up a government advertising program to speno
millions of dollars, a large part of it in the weekly newspapers
We know of nothing that could more endanger the freedom OF
the press. nothing that is a more insidiouS challenge to one OF
our cherished liberties.
On the surface, like many other plans of recent years, it
appears praiseworthy. 1t would provide rs or 30 millions for
advertising in small town newspapers to promote the sale OF
government bonds and inform the public about government
programs. incidentally, we think the press, both rural and cos
mopoitan, has done a pretty good job along these lines already.
We recall not so many years ago here in Montana when the
state liquor control system first came into being. There was a
so-caIled weekly newspaper advertising program then. The
advertising went only to the newspapers that supported, poll
tically, the administration in power at that time. Any who
breathed a word of criticism got none OF the advertising. Hon.
estly, we do not believe this policy affected the editorial views
of any bonafide newspaper. But it is an example OF how adver-
Using can be used by government as a coercive weapon.
And it can happen. 1t did happen in France. France, before
its fall, had a reputation for the most venal and prostituted
press in the world. 1t can be said that the story of France
might have been different if the newspapers had awakened the
public to the hollow shell of Frances administration. And how
did this come about? Mostly through the control of virtually
every French newspapers advertising by the government
financed news agency, Havas. Havas could not be compared
with anything in the United States. 1t did distribute news, just
as the Associated Press or the United Press do here, although
they are Independent agencies. But it also had the control and
placing of most of the national advertising in France. By its
decree, newspapers failed or prospered. Honest criticism of the
existing ministry in power meant quick extinction for a news
paper.
Today, we find weekly publishers struggling under great
handicaps - both loss of manpower and revenue. Perhaps some
of them will clutch at this government proposal as a way to
survive. In the long run, they will have made a grievous error.
Quoting from a bulletin of the National Editorial association:
I'VE abhor the gestapo methods by which newspapers in
dictator countries are compelled to conform to the will of the
ruling gang. We should beware of the political finesse that
would accomplish much the same result in this country through
the use of bounties dipped out of the public treasury. The
warning that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance had never
more tinoe1inacc than todav Naucpaperc should ba he fret
to oppose any bounty that would make them beholden to the
government"

GENERALS ON CASUALTY LISTS

That ancient Napoeonic conception most of us have of the
general standing some IS miles behind the battle lines with
his binoculars, far from shot and shell, is due for some revision.
General Wesley j. McNair on the North African front Battle
reports indicate that General McNair was standing on an ex-
posed ridge not far from a bitter fight when he was struck
by shell fragments. We recall how a few months ago General
Honore Giraud of the French forces missed death by feet when
a land mine exploded and killed one of his aides. Just this
week came news that Lieut.. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, comman-
der of American forces in Europe, was killed in an airplane
accident in Iceland.
In the Southwest Pacific, General Douglas Macarthur has
lost four generals who were in command of air activities under
him. In that sector, the commanding generals of air forces fire.
quently take part in bombing raids. Brigadier General Howard
K. Ramey of the Fifth air force has won the distinguished serv-
ice medal and the distinguished service cross for extraordinary
heroism in action in the New Guinea area. He has been missing
IN action since his plane failed to return from a combat mission
on March &c. He played an active and personal part in the
annihilation of the 22-ship convoy in the Bismarck sea.
Many more examples could be given. They might be partly
explained by the new conception of war. by its fluid and rapid
movements in which high officers must be in close contact with
the front.
But they also indicate a new conception of command. General
K. A. N. Anderson of the British First army has expressed it
by saying that the generals greatest value in this conflict is in
under all sorts of conditions, to set for them an example of
courage under fire. General Anderson knows what every sec
ond lieutenant learns that to command one must have the
confidence and trust of his men. Can there be any hieher func-
ton of leadership?
