BEAUTIFUL ARIZONA

BEAUTIFUL ARIZONA
Out on the sun burnt desert,
Camp Horn is the spot.
Fighting these terrible heat waves
The land that God forgot.
Out in the brush with rifles,
Eating the sand and dust.
Doing the work of slaves,
Too dog-gone tired to cuss.
Out with the sage brush and cac-
Out where the boys get blue,
Out in the sun burnt desert,
Many miles from you.
All day and night the waves keep
coming,
It's more than I can stand.
Now folks, we are not convicts,
We are defenders of our land.
For the duration we must stand
it;
Many years OF life we Will;
If the draft board ever gets you,
You can 60 over the hill.
We are the boys from the 1nfan-
try
Earning our meager pay,
Guarding the folks with millions,
For a dollar and sixty cents a
day.
We are the boys from America,
And we can put on the gas.
Some day we will catch old Hit
Ter,
And of Arizona, see the last!

MixuP Finally Revealed

and IL had no strings attached
II was for immediate release,
This all happened Tuesday
morning and, in view OF the 80
hour restriction on the White
House story. the office OF CEN
sorship here was asked If the
Reuters story could be used at
once. The censorship office said
il had no objections and later,
when -sked. gave these reasons.
II was following its policy OF
letting into the United States
dispatches which are available
10 the enemy and the rest of the
world because stopping such
stories would be just keeping
away from the American people
information which the enemy
has and which therefore cannot
be considered as affecting "se-
curity."
The censorship office said
further. in the case Of dispatches
from neutral countries and par
ticularly Lisbon in Portugal,
which is a listening post for
Allies and AXIS. il was assumed
the Axis had access TO the infor-
nation.
Censorships assumption was
proved right. Elmer Davis, head
of the Office OF War Information
(OWD. said later that 30 min
utes after the Reuters dispatch
had been broadcast TO this coun-
try Axis radios were re-broad-
casting IT.
Later Tuesday Davis, who
said his Owl Cairo office had
nothing 10 do with the White
House communique had nothing
TO do with setting the release
time on it, had his agency broad
cast 10 foreign countries an ac-
count of the Cairo meeting in
order TO offset AXIS broadcasts
and interpretations.
But the Owl, operating under
the same time restrictions
which applied TO American
newspapers and radios, could not
violate the White House orders
and its foreign broadcasts had to
quote Reuters.
