Navy Plan to
Control News"

WASHINGTON, March 81. (UP)
Senator Burton *. Wheeler, CD,
Montana, late Tuesday attacked a
navy plan for a postwar merger of
all American overseas communica-
tions services as a threat to free
dom of the press in handling for
eign news. ..-.-sss
Navy Secretary James w. For
restal presented the plan tc SEN
ate interstate commerce subcom-
mittee at the beginning OF heaIings
on the international communica-
tions problem. 1t would establish a
privately owned, government su-
pervised' corporation to take ever
the foreign business of all American
companies providing overseas cable,
wireless and telephone service. The
navy said this would include Piess
Wireless, Inc, an organization that
transmits press dispatches in behalf
of newspapers and press associa-
items.
Wheeler told Admiral j. r. Red
man. chief of the naval communica-
tions division, that the navy plan
would give government officials the
roWer to censor incoming and out
going dispatches.
It can't see how any arguments
you have advanced in favor Of the
plan apply to the press and radio,
Wheeler said.

Two Yanks Get
Wrong Steer
On Peace News
BY S/SGT. FRANK DEVINE
Marine Combat Correspondent

TWO JIMA, March 18. Delayed
CUP)-For an hour Monday night
Two Jima was the happiest spot on
earth. Machine guns, anti-aircraft
guns, carbines, rifles and even pis-
tols-the cnly celebratory equip
ment handy-roared the local jubi-
lation. The war in Europe was over;
Germany had surrendered.
Then came the dismal truth. 1t
went like this:
A walkie-t -talkie army radio oper-
ator, bored in solitary foxhole, de-
oided to play radio announcer with
a buddy a couple of holes away.
Close by, inside truck, another
operator was tipping military mes
sages from San Francisco.
Somehow, the frequencies became
tangled and from the official oper-
ator's official set came voice with
the electrifying message:
Germany has surrendered un-
conditionally."
The operator got the news to his
headquarters and in 10 minutes all
the island and the ships of shore
had the WCrd.
The foxhole radio announcer,
hearing all the shooting and the
shouting, became worried and went
to his commanding officer with a
statement that deserves to be addeo
to the archives of understatement.
Said he:
"Sir. I think I've done something
wrong"

Initiation in
Realty Values

WASHINGTON, March 81. (UP)
Price Administrator Chester Bowles
said Wednesday that initiation of
real estate and stock market values
is a serious problem that needs
quick corrective action.
He told the senate banking COM
mittee that congressional action to
curb sale prices on both urban and
rural real estate should not be long
deferred" It is too serious a prob
lem" to permit delay, he said. Then
he added
$50 also is the problem of stock
market inflation."
He did not elaborate the refer
ence or suggest what action should
be taken about stocx market prices.
On real estate, he renewed his plea
that congress pass legislation pro-
viding some authority to control
sale prices and commercial rents.

tionwide. It's effect was felt first
in New York where Mayor Fiorello
LaGuardia announced Sunday that
his police force would no longer
report violations until after 100
a. m.
MARKED BY SPEED
The action came with lightning
swiftness. There was no previous
announcement. The army's mill
tary police, accompanied by the
navy's shore patrol as observers"
began making the round of Man
haitian bars and night clubs at
mic night. They explained the
order to owners and managers,
asked them to clear their premises
of service men, then left. The MP's
did not approach the service men.
The first reaction from night spot
owners was that Mayor LaGuardia's
hour of tolerance" had been hit
body blow.
Several saloon keepers, already
dubious about taking advantage of
the mayors one-hour extension,
said they probably would return to
the midnight closing Ito be on the
safe side"
They were faced with two dis
couraging factors in catering to
civilians only during the extra hour.
They were left personally to face
