The Wilmington morning star., 1944-11-10

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-R-Editor
and Publisher, newspaper trade
magazine, will say in an article to-
morrow that "a close analysis of
the election returns, county by
county, will reveal that the news
papers of this country on the whole
WELD dominating influence"
Commenting on interior sec-e-
terry Ickes' assertion in Washing
ton today that there was decline
in reader confidence in the ma
tons press, the article, written by
Robert U. Brown, editor, said:
1T is as nonsensical to indict the
entire American press because a
majority of the newspapers sup
ported losing candidate as it is
to state that Mr.. Roosevelt's sue
cess was due entirely to the % per
cent of newspapers that supported
him, neglecting to state the fact
that 20 per cent were independent
and neutral and that practically ell
of the newspapers gave an honest
presentation of all political argu-
ments in the news columns.
Ickes told his news conference
he had submitted his resignation
to President Roosevelt, as he had
done after previous elections. He
smilingly replied, T don't know, "
when asked if he had any reason to
believe the resignation, custo-
mary post-election cabinet proceed
ure, would be accpeted.
Ickes then declared:
II wish again as four years ago,
to invite, in friendly fashion, Amer
lean newspaper publishers through
their editorial columns, to give the
country their explanation of facts
which seem to me to indicate a
progressively unhappy and dang
erous decline in reader confidence
without which free press lacks
strength.
This nation has again question
ed in ringing tones the right of the
press to represent readers opinion
by selecting a president supported
by only 1T per cent Of the press
and actively opposed by 69.5 per
cent with only 1873 per cent repre-
sentlng themselves as neutral"
Ickes said the figures were taken
from an Editor and Publisher roll
on Nov. 4. tThe figures, Brown
said, represented the proportions of

The Editor and Publisher article
said ''in practically every instance
it is found that the large voting
population in tn metropolitan
areas, where many factors in vote
getting must be considered, were

In New York state" the trade
publication continued, ''the E & P

ing only eight to Mr.. Roosevelt who

U. S. CASUALTIES
NOW TOP 100000

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-tR-Al-
most three years of war have cost
more than half million Ameri-
can battle casualties d e d,
wounded, missing or prisoners.
The Army said today that its
casualties, from Pearl Harbor,
Dec. Z, 1941, through last October
% totalled 1856. The latest re-
port for Navy, Marine and Coast
Guard personnel accounts for H.
839.
The army total represents an
increase of 20,235 since the report
a week ago which covered the
period through October 81. Secre-
tary of War Stinson said part Of
this increase was due to a revision
now being made in the casualty
information system SO as to bring
the figures up to date. 1t was ex-
planned later that about Is per
cent of the increase resulted from
the bookkeeping change over.
This would mean that new cas-
ualt.es occurring in the period CT
about one week and ending around
midi October were approximately
49, 00 (The reporting of casually
figures to the war department
usually is about two weeks after
the casualties occur) Heavy
fighting was taking place in the
.Aachen sector in Germany, as
well as elsewhere on the western
front, at that time, with a cam
parative lull on the Italian front.
Of the total army casualties re-
porte dtoday, 84,811 were killed
and 243,054 wounded, an increase
for the week Of 4,145 killed and
1912 wounded.
The overall casualty total of
437, 1856 does not represent loss
of strength equal to that amount
because 1894 of the wounded
have been returned to duty. This
is far higher percentage tnan
in any previous war.
