. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

the war was over, and a Few
years after that. Then there was
a regular orgy of horror pic
lures. They came all at once
whole pages of them in some
newspapers, in magazines, by
the best-selling bookful. They
showed war as il really had been
and they may have played their
part in building up the Ameri-
can-psychological in 81 e n
upon an era of peace.
OLD STORY
Up until recently the same
pattern has been followed in
telling the story of World War
II to the American people. Pic
lures of dead men--dead Ameri-
cans that is-have been taboo.
Pictures of the wounded have
been passed only after the
wounds have been washed up,
after bandaging, after the
manned have been tucked be-
tween clean sheets in hospital
hunks.
Similarly. the stories of the
casualties have been played
down. Only local casualty lists
are published. The marvel of,
blood plasma and the sulpha
drugs have been played up.
Evacuation Of the wounded by
air--in flying ambulances-out
of the danger zone and back TO
the quiet of the base hospitals
has been emphasized. The eff
cheney of the Army and Navy
medical services has been ac-
claimed.
An Office of War Information
report Of last May, on the recov-
cry of the American wounded,
gave figures that only 26 per
cent of the Navy and Marine
Corps personnel wounded in &C
ton subsequently died. Compar-
able Army figures weren't then
available but, said the report,
IAN analysis of available data
on Army wounded shows that
recoveries are comparable to
naval and marine percentages.
All this presentation has
served TO build up the legend
that in this war, the wounded
don't die II may be true as far
as il goes, but is IL the whole
story? What are the facts of bat
tie casualties-the proportion Of
dead to wounded, the prevalence
of n, p. or neuro-psychiatric
shell shock" breakdowns, the
nature of the infections with
which the 81 per cent Of the
wounded who are saved must
carry with them through life?
BURIED CASUALTY REPORT
Owls report on 10000 war
casualties as of Sept. 18 was
boiled down TO 20 lines or fewer
and in most papers il was buried
inside under a small headline.
Should it have been first-paged
and played up?
A week before, the first pic
ture of American dead on the
field of battle was released for
general publication, to be fol-
lowed later by another. The two
pictures were released by Navy
and Army at the suggestion or
insistence Of Owl. But the real
original impetus for the release
of these pictures came not from
the war information specialists
but from the people concerned
with the conduct of the Third
War Loan drive. Why them? 1t
was their contention that the
complacent American people
needed to be shocked into a real
ization Of the actualities of the
war to make them buy more
bonds.
The Office of War Information
is determined it is going TO get
out and tell the full story Of this
war as it really is, now, putting
out the bad news along with the
good. Can you take it? Or do you
think you should be spared the
gorier detalls7
There you have the crux Of
the whole issue.

. SO THEY SAY

------------------ -
Livestock production is a

ly we have speeded up the build

devised a method of speeding up
the production of a heifer.-Alf
NJ. Landon.
Whether we recognize it or
not, the peacetime effect of
government control over the
terms and conditions of labor
would inevitably be TO regulate
out of existence the whole pur-
pose of labor unions. - Gov.

If there are wage injustices
they are TO be found in the white
collar groups - certainly not
among the manufacturing work
ers.-National Association of
Manufacturers report.

over carless words thoughtleSsly
uttered can restore a single life
lost because the enemy was tip

Army's military intelligence sec
ton.
If trip hammer, round the
clock utilization of Anglo-Amer-
lean air power can continue with
a reasonably increasing tempo, it
will accomplish the failure of

the end of the year. - Mai. Gen.
Harold l.. George. u. S. Trans
port Command chief.
We have been forced TO call
out the sheriff posse TO break
up the gang in order that gang
sterism may be eliminated in the
community of nations. - Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The tough battles are
ahead. The going will get tough
er and tougher as we crash
through the outer fringes of the
Axis defenseS and attack their
main bastions.-Rear Adml. G.
II. Woodward.
This is the costliest war in all
history. In each l0-hour period
your government is spending
more than the cost of the entire
American revolution. From this
point on it will be even more
expensive. Treasury Secre-
tary Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
We want to recover all Chi
nese territories. but we have no
designs on a single foot of for
eign soil. - Or. T. V. Soong,
Chinese foreign minister.
The task of holding the line
against initiation is one that re-
quires closest co operation be-
tween the people and their gov
eminent. Voluntary action on
the part of civilians is essential
if success is TO be achieved. -
President Roosevelt.
Throughout tn e productive

There is no present reason to

In 1923, Cornelis Otis Skin
ner and Emily Kimbrough took
a vacation trip TO Europe. TWen-
~ years later they compiled
their romantic, teen-aged eX-
periences in a delightfully."- anus
ing book, Our Hearts We're
Young and Gay which last
month became best seller.
Now Paramount is bringing
the book to the screen and Cor
nelia and Emily have written a
sequel, due TO be published soon,
Of their adventures in filmtown
which they are calling I'VE Fol-
lowed Our Hearts TO Holly

We looked in on the set OF
"Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay" today and found two sets
OF Cornelias and Emilys. They
were Diana Lynn and Gail Rus
sell. who play Cornelia and En-
lily in the picture, and the au-
-thors themselves.
I!Cornelia and Emily-the real
ones-said the set was an ire
slstible lure. With the help of
Hollywood, they were re-liVing
their 20-year-old memories of
London and Paris and the Ritz
bar.
In fact, Cornelia and Emily
said they were having a won
derful time, except for being
dazzled by the beauty of Miss
Lynn and Miss Russell. That was
their only complaint, they said
Their film prototypes were too
beautiful.
If | looked like her 90 years
ago, said Emily, nodding toward
Miss Lynn, II wouldn't have had
to go to Europe Cornelia
agreed. They said they've for
given Paramount for this incon-
SiStency, though, because other
wise the film is faithful copy
of the book. II should be. They
helped write the screen play
with Sheridan Gibney, who IS
also producing. Corneha and
Emily of the picture have two
steady boy friends, which Cor
nelia and Emily of the book
didn't have, but that, they said,
was TO be expected of boy

CAUTIOUS CENSORS
Also, which they expected, the
Hays office did a good deal of
frowning on their safety pock-

girls had harnessed about Cor

Ray Bradshaw and Basil Kam-

their inexperience would weigh
heavlly against them. Each won
only one fight in six this winter and

Rookie Light-Heavy Ed Reider, 1856
or l65; Alex Bobenko. 145 or 155, and
Tommy Jones. l35 or 145. The last
three can fight in either of two
classes and the coach hasn't decided
which they'll enter. He wants to see
them in the gym a few days before

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 24.-Don't
be surprised to read one of these
