| British public opinion might take
exceptions" he added, but we've
been daily treated with a flood ol
vulgar trivialities The genera
impression given us was not so much
that this was conference of high
strategical value, but that it was g
sort of international beanfest
marked only by a hideous skeleton
in the cupboard called war"
The News Chronicle charged also
that the Ministry of Information ir
London sat for hours" last night
on news pictures of the parley
awaiting New York order for then
release which was delayed because
the pictures had not yet arrived ir
America, and that when the release
came, it was too late for their pub
lication in the early editions of the
London morning newspapers.
The News Chronicle correspond.
ent in Atlantic City, N. j., stated
that it was difficult to resist the
conclusion that the most remarkable
exhibition of inept censorship of the
war was staged somewhere in Lon
don, and that one of its products
is that the recurrent allegation thai
the British have allowed the Ameri-
can press to be scooped is being re-
vived in an intensified form"
1T is assumed there will be Off
cial representations" he added
Nor will so sorry-someone blum
dered,' be found very good to either
the American press and it's CORE
spondents-or to the British press
which was left standing while
American papers were publishing
the British dispatch"
The London Stars Cairo CORE
spondent called the conference press
arrangements IAN incredible force
with every obstacle placed in the
way of the accredited corresponds
ents doing their job
"A petition requesting interven-
ton and aid was sent to Harry Hop
kins by six different methods to en-
sure its delivery" the correspondent
added. 1T was signed by At CORE
spondents, but nothing was done to
alleviate the situation and the
statesmen left the conference with
out according one press interview.
"A most disgraceful episode oc-
CURED when group of English and
American correspondents attending
a Thanksgiving service were insult
ingly elected from the church."
Sample of Mixups.
A sample of the many miXups in
the censorship handling of news was
this:
After refusing to permit Cairo
correspondents to call the meeting
the Sphinx Conference, the Cairo
censors deliberated for hours, re-
Tented. and permitted this designa-
ton to be used.
Then, more than "a hours after
the advance stories had moved, with
repeated references to the meeting
as the Cairo Conference" there
came an urgent request from British
censorship that any reference to a
Cairo conference be deleted.

has been a part of the Army since
1901 and has been the only corps
without commissioned rank" she
said in a House speech yesterday
Relative rank was granted in the
last war to meet specific organiza-

"Curiously enough most people
including the Army itself, have
been under the delusion that when
they received relative rank it was
actually commissioned rank"
Army officers said relative rank
gave nurses the rights and privi-
leges but not the pay Of commits
stoned officers.
