owl Issues
New Orders

Washington, March 2. - (UP) --
War Information Director Elmer
Davis has issued O new policy d..
receive for propaganda handling Of
1914 campaign news, instructing
owl employees to get as close 10
the facts as the facts are known
In Identifying candidates for the
presidential nominations, II was
learned today.
The new policy was On outgrowth
OF O recent incident In which M
owl news dispatch abroad, con-
corning Governor John w. Bricker
OF Orio, failed TO mention that he
was q candidate for the Republican
nomination. There were some
charges that the omission was not
unintentional.
Under the new directive, full
text Of which owl refused to make
public, only those who have Off.
cially announced their presidential
aspirations will be designated fatty
NJ candidates. In the case OF those
being mentioned" for the nominal
lions Of either party, that fact and
10 more will be stated III owl dis
patches and shortwave broadcasts.
As OF now, the owl will have
little difficulty In interpreting the
policy 80 far as the Democratic
party Is concerned The only formal
candidate Is former Governor
Joseph 3. Ely Of Massachusetts who
has entered the race for the Demo.
cratic nomination in an acknowl-
edged attempt to block q fourth term
for President Roosevelt.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt'S decision
Is rot Known, he Is receiving more
than mention" as an aspirant for
O fourth term. Thus, in addition
to being described as President Of
the United States and Commander
IN Chief Of the Armed Forces, Mr..
Roosevelt also can be mentioned as
O possible seeker Of a fourth term,
according to O spokesman for Davis,
But, he said. II an owl dispatch
should quote someone as saying that
the Chief Executive intends TO run
this fall. the dispatch must also
point out the fact that Mr.. Roose.
welt has not committed himself on
this matter In any way.
This situation has not vet arisen,
however. 1t was learned that owl
did not carry q story on Vice. rresl-
dent Henry Wallace's statement that
he believed Mr.. Roosevelt would
run again. An owl official said
the Wallace statement was consid-
cred purely domestic" news.

(UP)-The Argentine navy, which
withheld support from 1t. Col
Tomas Duco's ahortive revolution
may make an attempt Of It's own &c
Dust acting President Edelmiro J.
FarreS regime. reports from Bue-
nos Aires said today.
Other adviceS said that Ducos
unsuccessful attempt to force Far
rcll to restore President Pedro p
Ramirez to office or to turn the
Argentine government over TO the
supreme court was premature
manifestation Of O large-scale army
revolt scheduled to occur later.
II was considered possible that
dissatisfied elements IN Argentina
will act independently, rather than
organizing into o single group
against the government, these re-
ports SAID.
At least Is naval vessels Of the
Argentine high seas fleet were re-
ported due to arrive off the capital
momentarily, presumably to take
part In the maneuvering for power
now going on within the govern
lnent, perhaps threatening to bolck-
ade the city.
