Get Power or

Washington. Dec. SINS Sen.
Raymond Willis (R) Ind, called on
Elmer Wis today to get the pow
er needed in directing the Office of
War Information or resign.
The senator made his assertions
as an outgrowth OF the recent con
troversy over British and Russian
news services breaking news re
leases on the Cairo and Teheran
conferences while American news
papers observed them.
81 think the Office Of War Infor
nation is a rather loosely-operated
organization, Willis, himself a

Of usefulness the director should be
given real power and held respon-
sible.
"The Ameri an people are losing
confidence in Owl. They are get

secondhand from sources other
than American"
Rep. stonroney ID Okla, Said he
thought Davis "has ample power
to handle the Domestic job" but
like Willis, the Oklahoman Is dis
satisfied with the handling OF news
from abroad.
When the next big news story
comes involving this country and
other United Nations" Monroney
said, 81 think 1t is up to Davis to
plug every possibility against a
breaking OF the release"
Sen. Lodge tRD Mass. took the
view that it is "a question OF in
