NAVY May ACQUIRE
J0NES-0NSL0W REA
Expected To Pay $780,
900 For Property To In
sure Power For Camps

WASHINGTON, April q - The
Navy sexpected some time dur

utility business through purchase
of the electric generating and trans
mission system of the Jones-Ons-
low REA cooperative for a sum
reported to approximate $4,000, co.,
it was learned here today.
The Navy's prime purpose in
seeking title and control of the
property is, of course, to insure
adequate electric power for the
New River and Cherry Point ma
rine environments. When current
negotiations, which have extended
over period of several months,
are completed, farm families
served by the REA unit will pur-
chase their power from the Navy.

owl TO EXPEDITE
NEWS ON INVASION
Concluding Arrangements
With High Command And
Army Censorship

WASHINGTON, April 22-(M-
War news of the allied invasion Of
Europe will move from beach
heads to the American publis more
directly than ever before, the Of
flee of War Information said today
in disclosing some of the arrange
ments being concluded with the
allied high command, British min
istry of information and military
ensorship and communications Of
fic.als Of both countries.
Elmer Davis, director, and
George W. Healy Jr. domestic di.
rector Of Owl, reported progress
in arrangements to smooth quick
transmission of news to America
from press and radio corespon-
dents.
Basically, the problems are re-
moval of military censorship de-
lays abroad and improvements Of
communications facilities. They dc
not involve the operations of do.
nestle censorship within this
country, although the office of cen
sorship is cooperating in the ar
rangement.
"Beachhead copy-or any copy
from outside Britain-will run
through without being touched
again." Healy said, explaining Owl
is seeking single censorship.
News will pause once. During
previously combined operations it
frequently was subjected to censor
ship on the field, at headquarters
and then by officials of all nations
involved at transmission points.
All censors will work under uni
form censorship rules and instruc-
tons on clearance. Any dispatch
originating outside Britain-from
beachheads, ships or planes-will
be censored by the military at the
point of origin. When it reaches
Britain it will be treated as transit
news, flowing through the filing
point in Britain without other cen
sorship delay.
A single central filing office will
be set up, probably in or near
London. Here correspondents will
find military public relations Of
ficers and British and American
civilian information officials.
One reason why central fling will
smooth the flow of news to Amer
lea, Healy said, is that if one trans
mission circuit is damned the
ready story can be put on another
less crowded circuit without delay
in shuffling to another place.
Transmission of the torrent OF
news of invasion operations, which
owl estimates will at least triple
the current daily stream, will be
speeded up by as many extra
transmission facilities as possible.
