the globe, Panama is feeling the
effects of vast defense works and
expenditures on both sides of the

the Canal Zone, by needs in the

Representative Dies, Democrat, of
Texas last night accused clever and
unscrupulous propagandists for un-
American organizations" of persuad-
ing "a large part of the Negro press"
to join in an attack against the
House Committee on american
Activities.
In radio address, the chairman
declared the committees enemies

Mr.. Dies assailed those who, under
the guise of democracy. or liberalism,
or trade unionism, inflltrate Gov
ernment bureaus, the Democratic
and Republican parties, and the
great trade unions of our Nation, so
that they can carry on their de-
structive work without danger of
detection or molestation."

becoming involved in propaganda. -
In subsequent resolutions, the
ASNE urged that news of all gov
ernments - here and abroad - be
made available at it's source when
ever possible, and suggested that
setting up Of such a policy be part
OF any postwar international PLAN
ming.
Relations between Owl and the
Agriculture Department have not
been smooth since Owl issued
formal directive several weeks ago
requiring all information pertaining
to food production and distribution
to be turned over t. it for clearance
and release The Agriculture De-
partment had sought to maintain its
own direct contact with newspaper
men.
Other Stories Obtained.
Since that time reporters regularly
assigned to the department have
continued to carry out their duties
there. In consequence they have
obtained a number of stories in ad-
vance of their release by the Owl.
This led Owl offif1icials to complain
to the Agriculture Department.
When the flour and wheat ceiling
story was published in advance of
the formal announcement, the owl
made detailed check of the possible
sources OF the information and mar
rowed them down to a few officials
in the Agriculture Department.
So far, neither Agriculture Depart
ment officials nor the Owl have
been able to determine the actual
source or sources and the news
papermen, in keeping with the tradi-
tlon OF the press, have refused to
disclose them.

owl Begins Probe
Of News Gathered
From Other Sources
Protests to Agriculture
Department on Release
OF Wheot Price Story

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of War Information,
which claims the exclusive right to
release Government information
pertaining to the wartime food pro-
gram, has started an investigation
to determine how newspapermen
obtain information from other
sources.
The probe involves the Agriculture
Department and the recent publica-
ton, In advance OF an owl an
nouncement, of Government de-
cision to place ceilings on soft wheat
prices and raise ceiling prices on
flour milled from that type of wheat.
Information about the ceilings
was obtained by an Associated Press
reporter from Agriculture Depart
ment off1cials. The Owl has pro-
tested to the department and has
caused officials of the latter agency
to make an effort to determine the
names of the officials who supplied
the reporter with the data.
Editors Warning Recalled.
News Of the investigation and the
reported interdepartmental strife
which was said to have preceded it
recalled the recent contention of
editors throughout the Nation that
official news should be made public
at its original source whenever pos
sible.
During the American Society of
Newspaper Editors meeting here last
month many members protested the
funneling of news through one
Federal source as threat to the
free press. Roy Roberts, managing
editor of the Kansas City Star and
newly elected ASNE president,
warned of dangerous propaganda
tendencies which he feared were
inherent in any such Office as Owl.
He expressed personal respect and
confidence in the motives and abil-
ity of Owl Director Elmer Davis,
but added:
Whenever you try to funnel news
and control it at it's source, you get
into the field Of propaganda There
isn't one man in million who can

Disagree on Efficacy
OF Confirmation Bill
Letter Sees Senote
Given Power to Control
81, 500 Type Employees

New Jerseys two Republican Sem
out today with different viewpoints
on the McKellar bill to require Sen
ate confirmation of all Government
employees receiving $4,000 or more.
While condemning what he called
"wasteful bureaucracies" in the
Government, Senator Barbour said
he did not think the Mcclellan pro-
posal would correct the situation.
He favored however, the principle
of the O'Mahoney substitute to limit
confirmation to definitely specified
policy-making officials, as the best
way of correcting the present ex-
travagance and turmoil in the Fed
eral agencies"
Opportunity" for Checking.
Senator Hawkes. announced he
will support the McKellar bill, in
the following statement:
Il am in favor of the passage Of
Senate Bill SIS, introduced by SEN
ator McKellar, because I believe
that regardless of the fact that it
will be difficult to check on the
appointments which come before the
Senate. nevertheless, it gives the
Senate an opportunity to know how
many people are going on the Gov
ernment payrolls at a salary OF
81, 500 or more per year.
1T also gives the Senate a chance
to analyze the general type of peo-
pie appointed and the possibility
of preventing individuals who are
opposed to our form of Government
from being employed by the Gov
ernment in positions where, un-
known to the people of the coun-
try, they could interfere with the
intended operation of our Govern
ment."
Efficacy Questioned.
| Senator Barbour said the Nickel
lar measure should not be dismissed
lightly as "a pure patronage grab"
adding that some of the most able
and respected members of the Sem
ate are supporting it," Continuing.
Senator Barbour declared:
The overstafflng of the endless
number of boards and agencies and
the tremendous cost of these bu-
reaucracies has brought about a re-
pulsion of feeling in the taxpayers.
The members of Congress are but
rejecting that sentiment. It Is gen.
orally recognized that the present
situation Is a most unsatisfactory
one
However, I do question sincerely
whether this bill will correct this
condition. The McKellar bill would
only superimpose senatorial patron
age on top of chaotic structure Of
administrative agencies, thus Gre
ating greater chaos in the various
agencies. While the Senate may
start out with the best OF intentions
in properly supervising such ap-
pointments the tremendous degree
of legislative work during this grave
war emergency would soon make
the supervision of such appoint
ments purely routine. With that
would come even greater confusion,
lack of proper supervision and
wasteful spending"
