WASHINGTON - The President really let loose some fireworks at a recent cabinet meeting shortly after Charles E. Wilson resigned as WIPE executive vice chairman after publicly blasting WIPE Chief Don- aid Nelson. The cabinet members, who usually meet with smiling, wisecracking President, pricked up their ears at his vigorous denun- citation of businessmen.
 Here we are at the most i'm portant phase of the war" said Roosevelt icily, "and these busi- nessmen act like bunch of chill dren. They pick up their baseball bats and go home"
 The President went on to say that those who are schooled in government may have their differ ences, but know how to iron them out and get along together in the end After delivering quite lec- ture on name-calling and the in- ability of businessmen to get along together, he turned to Secretary of State Hull and said:

MRS. LUCE's NARROW SQUEAK

Democratic and Republican Con- gressmen who hotly debated how much money FDR spent for war ships on his trip to Pearl Harbor and how much Mrs. Roosevelt spent going to New Zealand, did not know that one of their own number had narrow squeak from being in the same category.
 She is beautiful Mrs. Clare Luce, COP Congresswoman from Con- necticut, who contemplated an air. plane trip to the South Pacific Australia and China. It was fath- erly Andrew Jackson May of Ken lucky who saved her.
 What happened was that, after Alabama's Joe Starnes had ridden all over the U. S. A. in military planes as a member of the Appro- priations Military subcommittee it was finally arranged that such junkets be approved first by sub- committee. Congressman May, as chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, appointed this subcom- mittee, keeps tight rein over it.

JOB DONE TOO WELL

It was indicated by the recent announcement of Byron Price head of the Office of Censorship that the newspapers have done their job too well in CO., operating to keep useful information from reaching the camps of the enemy. He called attention to "a dangerous psychology of oyereensorship and at the same time announced that liberalized set of regu- lations for voluntary censorship would be issued.
 It has taken long, long time, however, for the Office of Censorship to wake up to what has been going on We point out the most recent example of how the average uninformed military mind works concerning censorship, the following:
 Shortly before Christmas, in North Carolina, a rail snapped and passenger train jumped the track, killing one injuring several short time later an- other passenger train piled into this wreck. Seventy two were killed and many more injured. It was big story Naturally railroad executives don't like publicity on these things But one reason there are fewer such tragedies because there much publicity given to such things
 As reporters and photographers swarmed to the warehouse where the dead were carried they found the way barred by Army M P.s who had followed the orders given by railroad district chief who said the railroad did not want that kind of publicity An
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-01-04

Associated Press cameraman arrested and Red Cross photographer had all his film destroyed before protests reached the War Department and the military units told to stop meddling.
 This is how far the thing can be carried.
 Although the scope of the Office of Censorship is limited because it does not give out general news, this office is the only authority which issue censorship regulations which the newspapers carry out voluntarily.
 Commanders in the field still hold back as much information they wish can most Govern ment agencies. However if the press secures any information from any source, no Army commander or Government official has the right to demand that the material not be published
 All news that help the enemy should be suppressed
 It is humane to hold back news of battle losses and other deaths of military personnel until the of kin have been notified
 However, to hold back bad news in order to guard the reputation of commanders because of it's expected effect upon the public morale is unwse. If the American people can't take it" without the use of artificial aids, then they pretty weak
 Neither should the press do another job too we'll that of cooperating 100 percent with everything the Government does-whether it be good bad The press isn't and shouldn't be propaganda agency for the Government. That is totalitaran and not to be tolerated in a democracy.
