James Wellard has not always
enjoyed the distinction Of cover

ences; the Assassination OF OAR

on which he was committing.
Jamas Wellard's early life was
one comparatively complacent.
Wellard, who has joined the
growing list Of war correspon-

is native Of London AMI a
product Of English universities.
In 1888, he came to the United
States on a fellowship to the
University of Chicago. America
won citizen and journalism

to stay here as editor OF the In

suaded him to help cover the ae-

ALLIES LOSE TWO
PLANES in RAIDS

Cairo, February 8. - CUP -
American (B-24) Liberator Bomb
ers attacked the Railroad Ferry
Terminal at Messina, Sicily, yester-
day and scored direct hits on oil
installations, the Port Power Station
and other harbor facilities, a ninth
q. s. Air force communique said
today.
The heavy consolidated bombers
blanketed the waterfront generally
with big bombs, the communique
said, and shot down at least one Of
a sizeable force Of challenging
enemy fighter planes. All U. s..
aircraft returned safely.
A hole in the cloud cover over
the target provided the opportunity
for "an excellent bomb rum" the
communicate reported, but the
clouds later partially obscured OBJ
esrvation Of results.
The enemy fighter which fell
victim to the u. s. attackers was a
Messerschmitt- 100. Other inter-
cepting enemy fighters suffered def
mite damage, the communique said.
The attack on Messina, one of
several already made against the
important harbor first was reported
by British Middle Eastern Com

Chairman Clarence Lea, D., Calf. q,
Of the house Interstate and foreign
commerce committee somewhat
modified the Republican groups
earlier alarm that there was "1in-
minent threat" to the freedom Of
the press" In a telephone CONVERSE
ton with Arthur Wakeman, head Of
the WPB pulp and paper division,
made at the request Of the 16-man
committee, Lea received assurance
that no further order curtailing pro-
duction Of newsprint would be issued
until March 81.
Lea further said that his commits
tee would act on the Halleck resolu-
ton by March !, which would give q
considerable period for adjust
ment."1 II an investigation was found
necessary.
Shafer feared "precipitous" cuts,
"as high as 80 per cent" which, he
said, would result in extinction Of
every newspaper with circulation Of
Is, 900 or 10000 or over.
Both Lea and Bradley said that
the anticipated further cut was 10
per cent. But even that, Bradley
estimated, would close down many
papers because Of the curtailment
of advertising space, unless publish
ers resorted to government subsidy,
which, he said, was ''the first step in
dictatorship"
