Not Out Of This World

Stories Of clashes between American troops
and French civilians at lie Havre, and
criticisms of troop handling in that big en-
barkation port have resulted in the imposition
of Army censorship in that area, according to
{ New York Herald-Tribune correspondent in
France.
The American port area commander is re-
ported to have restricted correspondents free
dom of movement in his command, and to
have ordered that all newspapermen be &C
companied by public relations officers and their
stories submitted for Official review The reason
given is EMBARRASSMENT that previous stories
have caused.
1t seems hard for some officers to realize
that the war has ended and with it the neces.
sary and to some autocratic authority that
they enjoyed. 1t is hard for them to realize
that rules of m Military security NO
longer obtain, and that Embarrassment is
not sufficient reason to ban the unhampered
coverage Of news events.
In short, it is hard for some officers to re-
member that they aren't living in a world
apart, and that military authority is now con-
fined to military matters. 1t may be hoped that
their superiors will get in touch with such OF
these officers as exist, and set them right

LORD ROGER KEYES
dies in LONDON

LONDON. Dec. 26.-R- Admir-.
al of the fleet Lord Roger Johr
Brownlow Keyes, distinguished Bri
fish naval hero who emerged from
retirement to serve his nation in
the Second World War, died in his
sleep today after an illness of three
weeks. He was 70.
Lord Keyes, who was given a
large share of the credit for de.
feating the German U-toat menace
in World War I, was famous as
the hero of the spectacular Zeeb-
rugge raid which sealed up the
Bruges canal in 1918.
In 1910, after five years of re-
tirement, Lord Keyes was made d.
rector Of combined operations and
was one Of the sponsors of the dar-
ing British Commands.
A shrewd and audacious leader.
Lord Reyes played a part in the
attempt in May 1910, to duplicate
his feat of 1918 by blocking off o.
tend and Zeebrugge. The attempt,
which failed, was made while he
was in Brussels maintaining special
halson with King Leopold.

Still Going Strong

The S. S. Patrick Henry, first Of the 2,7OC
Liberty ships constructed during the war, is
four years old and still going strong. The rug.
ged vessel has been in constant service ever
since her completion % days after Pearl Har
Dor, carrying cargo to virtually every front
from Murmansk to the Pacific, in wartime
voyages totaling 100000 sea miles.
When the late President Roosevelt first saw
a model of the Liberty ship he christened il
the ugly duckling." And truly the Patrick
Henry and other ships Of her type that followed
were unbeautiful as we'll as slow. But for all
that they were welcome sights in ports through
out the world during the war years.
Today. the Patrick Henry is on her first
peacetime voyage, crossing TIE Atlantic with
cargo OF b. ly needed coal for Holland. Her
arrival will again be a welcome sight, for the
supplies Of relief and rehabilitation are, in
their way, az important as the supplies OF
war;
The days of the Liberty ship may be number
ed. But SO long as there are emergency needs
such as exist today, the surviving vessels Of
the great Liberty fleet will continue to prove
their usefulness.

YOUR G. |. RIGHTS
By DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON - Former GIs
have sent in the following queries:
@. Just what is the status now
of the housing situation for vet.
Grams? What has the government
done recently?
A. The latest move by the Fed.
eral Government in addition tc
President Truman's action has
been made by the Surplus Prop
erty Administration. 1t has au.
thorized all Federal agencies to
turn over any surplus property
adaptable to housing to State or
local governments for rental to
veterans. This is to be done i'm.
mediately, without charge. The or.
der applies to both permenant and
demountable housing, as well as
to any buildings which can be
converted to housing use.
@. I have been trying to get
started in small business which
I operated a couple of years be.
fore the war, but have run into
several OPA price ceiling regu-
lations which are holding me back.
Will the OPA do anything about
this, inasmuch as I am veterans?
A. Yes. Present your problems
to the nearest District OPA Of
flee. Officials there have been in
structed to remove certain num-
Der of price ceilings which are
hindering veterans.
@. I have heard lot lately
about making government surplus
easier to get for vet
Grams. Just what has been done?
A. The. Surplus Property Admin
istration has asked Congress to
make surplus property available
to veterans at low prices through
of wholesalers in addi-
ton to the new regional offices
now selling these goods. The speed
with which these requests are act
ed upon by Congress depends on
Congress, but it probably won't be
any easier for vets to get these
goods for at least several months.

LETTER BOX
To The Editor.

To The Editor:
May I use your paper again to
express my deep gratitude to the
many people for the tremendous
response to my letter of last Sun
day. The rush we have had prov
ed beyond doubt that it was lack
OF information, rather than lack
OF Christian love, which account.
ed for the bad situation.
The children and mother are very
happy and we'll fed. The need has
not only been well met, but also
some luxuries have been added.
Best of all the spirit of the donors
was Certainly Christmas type.
They went, they saw, they gave
and came away feeling good.
l am glad to say that the imme.
date future of the family is well
secured.
May. say for the family and
myself many thanks.
