OWI Under Fire

Probably it was inevitable that the Office of War Information should be attacked as propaganda agency, For one reason, because it is the appointiVe creature of the party in power, and as such it is natural - if not fair - game for the opposition. For another reason, because the owl has made mistakes which have provided ammunition for critics. On more than one occasion Dl- rector Elmer Davis has conceded frankly that his office had issued unfortunate material. At other times he has stood belligerently behind releases that were under attack. It would be easy for MT. Davis to avoid such troubles. He could confine his output to humdrum factual statements, full of exhaustive and eX- hausing statistics on war production and military activities. Most of his troubles have come from two activities that go beyond this pure routine. One Is the preparation of propaganda for the bene- fit of enemy and neutral countries. In this the objective has been to play up those facts that would help to break enemy morale and demonstrate to neu- trals that the farther they stay away from the Axis, the happier they will be about 1914 or 1945 and thereafter.
 The other is the preparation of reports based upon fact-fnding surveys in con- nection with often controversial matters = the rubber situation, for example; the performance of American warplanes; war financing; the food production and dis tribution breakdown. Concedlng that errors have crept into some of these latter studies, we hope that MT. Davis will be neither ordered nor bulldozed into discon- tinuing such work. In ordinary times, newspapers could and would make such surveys for themselves, and would keep the public informed about what is Delng done. Unfortunately, there are enough war secrets involved in most such sub- jects so that newspapermen cannot per form, fully and satisfactorily, their tunc- tion as watch dogs for the public.
 MT. Davis staff has not proven an acceptable substitute for freedom of the pres sto pry into misleasance and non feasance of governmental agencies. NO government agency, responsible to the same executive whose appointees have been remiss, could be expected to sWlng from the boottops against bureaucratic inefficiencies Nevertheless, the pubic knows infinitely more about the weak spots of government, because the owl IS doing what it can as an agency Of pubic enlightenment, than if the office hao avoided that field,

The Leslie Howard Style

One of Leslie Towards best stage roles was in Berkeley Square,. His appear ance. voice, and mannerismS were well adapted for his appealing play. The gen eral Howard mien always had something of sadness, and one usually thinks Of him slightly pathetic rather than merry. The chances are slim that he has survived m the shooting down, supposedly, ot the plane in which he was enrOute rom LIS bon to England this week.
 He held an important place on the American and British stage, and his po- sition in moving pictures was assured TOT many years. Though distinctly British in manner, two of his outstanding DIG lures were American, "The PetTltled For est" and "Gone With the Wind
 He was an artist of expression and nlaved whatever role assigned him in manner somewhat restrained. His ap- pearances and voice expressed refine Inent whether he was playing drawing room role, an adventurer or a Shakes pearean part. His ambition led him to play the role of Hamlet which was an artistic production, but did not meet With the approval of the New York critics. HIS sadness of expression made his Hamlet the melancholy Dane in appearance, put as the saying goes, in that effort he did not make the grade.
 His stage and screen roles were LOO many to mention, and all of his work was marked by sincerity and intelligence since he did not follow the hackneyed style of acting adopted by too many in and out of Hollywood, but was definitely on his own when interpreting given role.

The Family Washtub

We have read much of the attempts of the War Production Board to make available to the civilian population in- creased quantities of civilian goods in which shortages have become critical. For example, it is difficult for the average person to realize the function of the gal vanized washtub to millions of our peo- ple Over half the homes of America are without bathrooms, and the galvanized tub used for laundry, is the only bathing facility for the family. Despite this need, however, there has been for many months an acute shortage of large galvanized tubs.
 This situation is cited to illustrate the importance of renewing supplies of essen- tial domestic items which the majority of our citizens must eat, wear and use in order to maintain the morale and health of the country. Only the local storekeeper and the people affected know the importance of such items
 Mistakes were inevitable in establishing any rationing program of food and com modity supplies, but the time for correc- ton has arrived, and washtubS point the way.

Time to Quit Kidding

In spite of the appareint success of that last war bond drive, the omninous fact remains that of the billions of dollars worth of bonds sold only small propor- tion went to individuals As usual banks, corporations and other institutional in- vestors with accumulated reserves ab- sorbed most of the obligation.
 This means that the prosperous mas ses are still riding the crest of luxurl- ant war boom, with income expanded in March, 1943, 28 per cent over March, 1942 Taxes and bond buying will barely scratch the surface of the billions of the "new rich"
 This all adds up to one thing: The people at home are still trying to fight the war the easy way. Instead of sacrlflc- ing comfort for the sake of victory as our men are sacrificing their lives, they are, so far using the war as device to walloW in more comfort.
 Will our soldiers return to luxury satiated bankrupt homeland with Con- gress still arguing over picayune tax details, or a land where integrity and solvency of their government has been preserved? The answer is with us.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-05

Those were the days, though, when people did not mind staying at home. The excursion to the shore was sometimes, a one-day event of the summer. You got there often in a roundabout fashion, by trolley and train; ate magnificent shore dinner, and returned the same evening quite happy about the whole thing; You took a trip that used up several hours on the road; this same trip matter of an hour at the most, one way, this pres ent day and year. Those others who went away for the summer" as they used to say, packed up early in July and went by train, and that was the last you saw of them until September.

The daylight alert came and went. Those taking part and those in the streets at the time of signals will know more about it than the ones in their places of business or at home, who simply continued what they were doing. To them the "alert" was simply program of whistles to the tune of defense on the homefront, a matter of preparedness which seems vital at the moment. Llttle excitement is manifest during these pro cedures They say this more or less Wlth calnness and matter -of-fact-ness, exists in those countries where actual air raids are prevalent, and where the alerts ana warnings are not just grand rehearsalS So we have completed our second (to all extent and purposes) daylight alert Ill this city and surrounding towns.

Views Of The Press

sanction for American collaboration in postwar organization. It is a heartening victory for Secretary Hull's enlightened program to lift American living standards by re- ciprocal trade.
 Yet the victory is qualified one This time extension is for only two years. And the fact that so much opposition and misunderstanding ot the basic advantage of freer trade can persist carries sharp warning The ultimate Senate majority-59 to 23-hid the votes of several Sena- tors who in one or another of five attempted amendments had tried to cripple or destroy essentials of the program.
 One hopeful feature worth noting was that this time only a minority of Republican Senators clung to their opposition. Yet most of the old obstacles to freer trade remain the desire of producers to avoid foreign competition; the tendency through log-rolling to place local producers interests ahead of the consumers of the whole Country; the temptation to forget that there may be more gain in buying than in selling.
 It is clear that very large num-

This means one of two things:
 1. The Nazis are not worried over the prospect of an Allied invasion of Europe.
 2. Hitler is detremined to take one last gamble, throwing all he has into Russia, in win or lose attempt to take the Soviet out of the war.
 Diplomatic information coming from neutral countries is unmis- takable that German troops have been withdrawn from (a) Nor way, even though there is talk ot a. British landing operation there; from (b) France, despite neWspa- per gossip about cross-Channel invasion; also from Co southern Italy, despite daily Allied bombings of that area.
 Apparently the Nazis figure on letting the Italians defend their own homeland, and reckon that the islands of Sicily and Sardinia are as good as gone anyway. At any rate German military activity inside Italy is confined to the in dustrial North, where strong tor- tifications are being erected.
 All this would indicate that Hit Ter figures Italy is more or less of weight around his neck and that he would be glad to drop it as long as he can keep the Allies from penetrating beyond Italy. And with the Alps to help him, this should be possible - at least until after he finishes his great and last gamble in Russia.
 NO LAND INVASION IN '43
 The opinion of this columnist, purely personal, is that both of the above deductions are true, and that there will be no real land in vasion of Europe this year (the islands of Sicily and Sardinia be- ing excepted), and also that Hit Ter, apparently confident of this, will do his utmost to take Russia out of the war this summer.
 These deductions are relatively simple and can be drawn by any good military observer. Since the German General Staff has some of the best military strategists in the world, Hitler's present move ments may be based on similar deductions. At any rate here they are:
 1. No successful invasion of Western Europe can take place without a relentless pounding of Axis industry and Axis forti- fications from the air. This has only just begun. As of March the United States had only about 2n0 Flying Fortresses in England, and the raids over the continent
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-05

You may not use your car to drive to your summer cottage at the shore or lake. This seems final, and is somewhat of blow to the summer cottage owner The cottage dweller this summer will have to stay put, it would seem. Looks like the head of the house and any others who go to business miles away will have to give up the cottage, unless they can manage it weekends by bus or train. Truly it is hard to get along without cars once you have formed the habit of using them for all purposes. Yet there was time, about forty years ago, when folks went their busy way, going places and doing lots of things without them

You can only starve the loving peo- pie who are on our side. To render them helpless now is poor strategy. -Dr. Howard E. Kershner, former director Quaker Relief in Europe.
