Representative Edith Nourse Rog-

She returned from a tour of the

cess to the Associated Press, United

through an Army agency in the
United States" Mrs Rogers asserted
Such an agency" she said. can
not have the wisdom to decide what
is good for the morale of overseas
troops even if that is considered to
be a factor in releasing news to
troops.
THE newsmen, both military and
civilian, are incredibly heroic in
getting the war news. Why can't we
have a little moral courage in re-
porting the home news to our men
and women in uniform overseas.
American soldiers and sailors are
not children who have to be pro-
tected against home news. They
are entitled to know what goes on at
home and we at home should pro-
tect them by doing our jobs-not by
withholding news that we are
ashamed or afraid to give them"

Turkeys Policies Credited
With Saving Dardane|Ies
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Turkeys nice balance between
caution and boldness in 1941 may
have prevented Germany from oc-
cupying the Dardanelles, the For
eign Policy Association asserts.
DR.. John Kigsley Birge, surveying
Turkeys interwar years for the as
sociation, conceded that critics may
say Turkey has not met its 1899
commitments by extending full mill
tary aid to Great Britain, but he
added:
Had it done so in 1941 when
Germany invaded Greece it seems
inevitable that the Germans would
have promptly occupied the straits
of the Dardanelles and. perhaps
opened a passage for their troops
through Asia Minor to Syria.
Because Turkey used its diplo-
matte skill rather than its neces-
sarily ineffective offensive military
power, Britain's flank on the Med
iterranean remained protected and
Germany, instead, proceeded to at
tack Russia"

Earn S714,636 in YeaI
After Rehabilitation

A total of 435 physically handi-
capped District residents earned
$714,636 the first year after their
rehabilitation by the District Re-
habihtation Service, according to
Federal Security Administrator Paul
Nv. McNutt.
Reporting on the Nation as a
whole, Mr.. McNutt said more than
$4,000 men and women who were
unable to hold a job because of some
crippling disability have gone on
the 1914 payrolls as result of as
sistance given them under the Fed
eral-State program for vocational
training
Mr.. McNutt cited the results re-
ported by the Districts rehabilita-
ton service during the fiscal year
1884 to show the economic i'm
portance of the program.
161 in Government Work.
OF the 435 placed on jobs here,
he reported, 16l went into the Gov
ernment and 274 went into essential
civilian industries. The average
weekly wage of the rehabilitated
worker, Mr.. McNutt said, was raised
from $28.65 in the fiscal year 1942-43
to $31.59 in 1914.
The Districts Board of Public
Welfare sent rs of the 435 cases to
the rehabilitation service, Mr.. Nc
Mutt reported. All of them were
either getting relief or had applied
for it as unemployable. The annual
earnings of this group alone, Mr..
McNutt said, will amount to at least
$103 ,320. If these workers had not
been restored to employment, he
added, public assistance for them
would have amounted to $25,0l6 a
year, while the cost of rehabilitation
amounted to only $3,592.
IS Per Cent Restored.
The District Rehabilitation Serv-
ice reported that since July, 1943,
when the service was expanded to
provide medical and surgical care
and appliances for those who needed
them, Is per cent of all the re-
habilitation cases are given this
physical restoration.
A rehabilitation service spokesman
cited the cases of the blind. Be-
fore July, 1943, he said, the service
could not pay for the restoration Of
eyesight to those who were losing or
had lost their sight, even If it could
be restored. This care now can be
given.
Physical restoration, which in
cludes payment of hospital bills up
to 80 days if the prospective workers
can't afford to pay for their own
treatment, is available to any dis
abled District resident with a non
