They called it Purple Heart
Valley by Margaret Bourke-
White (Simon and Schuster:
so, is a major addition to the
literature of this war, not only
in photographs, but in words as
we'll. Miss Bourke-Wh Mrs.
Erskine Caldwell), in her real
istic story of the grim, and, Of
late, unheralded fighting on the
Italian front, proves to be as
able with typewriter as with
camera and her photographs
are remarkable.
Although she might we'll have
been expected to bypass some of
the hardships and dangers of
the front lines because of her
sex, and easily could have done
so without criticism, the author
disdained what she terms Eve
stuff" She shared the physical
misery and risked the death
that has taken so many war
photographers and correspond
ents. Much credit would be due
her even if the results of her
tough assignment were less i'm
pressive.
Photography on the front was
no new chore for Miss Bourke-
White. She had become familiar
with the sound Of guns in Spain,
China, Russia and North Afri-
ca. In the latter theater Cor
poral Jess Padgitt, of Des
Moines, was assigned as her
Man Friday. He appears much
in this book, stands out as ev-
erybody's CT in Purple Heart
Valley that dangerous and
bloody stretch near Casino; but
there are pilots, monks, doctors,
privates, generals, and artillery
men. You get to know them all,
and you get to know as much
as any non-combatant could
possibly know of the hell in
Italy, through the authors pic
lures and equally graphic
words.
US. CAMERA ANNUAL
Quite the finest pictorial rec
ord of the war to appear thus
far is "The US. At War: The
US. Camera Annual, 19A5,"
distributed by Duell. Sloan &
Pearce ($4.50). Commander
Edward Steichen, U.S.N.R.,
edited by Tom Maloney, and
has a foreword by Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz.
The year 1914, history's great
est year of invasions, Is record
ed by photographers of all the
branches of the armed services,
Yank, the Army magazine, and
the major news services, includ-
ing the work Of Charles Corte

Nearly all of the Photographs
are full-page; the accompanying
text gives an excellent back
ground for each photo and the
events surrounding its taking.
THE u S "A. at War is a book
whose value will n crease
throughout the coming years;
something to be gotten out, pag-
ed through-and shuddered at,
= even though most Of the wars
more realistic horror has been
omitted in its pages.
Artists as we'll as photogra-
piers are busy chronicling the
war; George Biddle's War
Drawings" is one of four art
books published simultaneously
by The Hyperian Press. and dis
tributed by Duell, Sloan and
Pearce, each priced at $500.
Biddle sketches men, mules,
and landscapes in the Mediter-
ranean theater in free, almost
cartoon style. There are IL full
color pages, approximately 100
drawings in black and white.
"Renoir," by Rosamund Frost
Is another of the group, and
contains only reproductions of
the works of the modern old
master which are in American
collections. Eight color plates,
48 in black -and-white, prove
that some of Renoir's best may
be found in the museums and
private collections of this coun-
try. Striking is his Madame
.Charpentier and Her Children"
a bit hard to take is his THE
S.iopherd Resting" in which
the basic red dominance is al
most binding. Brief but inform
alive biography and critique
helps to evaluate and enjoy the
pictures.

TOWARD WORLD PRESS FREEDOM

Freedom Of the press not one Of the plonks
in the Platform Of world security issued from Dunn
barton Oaks And the omission was quite proper,
since in most countries free press is interpreted as
beinq first Of all, press free from government die
lotion and interference
But there are many suggestions in the Ounborton
Oaks outline which could not be carried out unless
world press freedom already existed Better interno-
tonoI understanding and co operation can only
thrive in an atmosphere Of free and complete inter-
change Of news and deos.
So it is we'll that plans for free press in the
postwar world already taking shape. And it is en-
couroeine that leadership in this shaping up COM
ing from the United Stotes, and consPicuousy from
the heads Of its two largest wire services, Hugh BoiIe
Of the United Press and Kent Cooper Of the Assoc.
oted Press.
Misunderstanding and varied interpretations
have naturally arisen in determining world press
Qools and certainly there other difficulties ahead
One Of these will certainly be the virtual impossible
ity Of compelling government to allow its newsPo.
pers to give complete and unbiased news cover
oee even when the news is gathered under ideal con-
ditions Of freedom and equality.
But at least there seems to be on encouraging
agreement on fundamental needs in the discussions
thus far - the needs for free and equal access to
for correspondents Of all countries for
provision Of news-eotherine facilities free from in
reference; for adequate world communication sys
TENS available to all at fair, non-preferentio rates.
As for the remaining obstacles, the best prescrip
tion is to continue discussion and to advance from
new points Of agreement And in Of the most re-
cent discussions Of the subject, Mr. Cooper put forth
suggestion that should find ready agreement among
most Of the worlds newsmen.
He proposes that foreign correspondents be grant,
ed diplomatic immunity on the grounds thot they
ore better qualified than diplomats to observe and
report on trends Of foreign opinion government
policy.

This would certainly seem to be on indispensable
requisite of press freedom, II post Dangers and in
dienties are to be avoided. Such immunity would
naturally impose responsibility on correspondents
and publishers to do nothing which would eopordze
the immunity or use it to unfair advantage. But there
is little to feor this from post experience
Correspondents Of democratic nations have the
quosi-diPomotic duty Of reporting to the sovereign
people in whom the power Of government rests Most
Of them are conscious Of the trust Of this duty And
most Of their post troubles have arisen from their
Jealous regard for duty, even when it meant incur

President recommends: eve

lessons in ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CO.
operation in working out a
sound long-range labor policy,
supplemented by per m t
mediation machinery for the
adjustment of labor disputes.
Before long, there may be
so million men and women to be
employed We must attack
the employment problem on
every front. For instance, we
must overhaul the wartime tax
structure to stimulate consum-
ers' demand and to promote
business investment. The ele-
ments of such a tax program
should be developed now so
that it can be put into effect
after victory"
Our program should include
provision for extended social

improvement of our homes,
cities and farms; and for the de-
velopment of transportation ia

are for Lend-Lease and for re-
lief and rehabilitation
Although the full impact OF
the veterans program will not
be felt until the years following
rehabilitation, the total esti-
mated requirements for l946
represent about 20 per cent OF
the total appropriations for
other than war purposes ="
incidentally, the peak of
veterans benefits, according to
present estimates. will be three
and-a-half to four billion dollars
a year, maybe more.)
anticipating the needs Of re-
turning war veterans and the
desirability of providing ade-
quate assistance to small, low
income farmers" writes the
President later on, II recon-
mend that the borrowing au-
thority of the Farm Security
Administration be increased
from 81 to 125 million dollars
for rural rehabilitation and
from Is to so million dollars
for the tenant purchase pro-
gram"
I'm the future, We must de-
velop a program to eliminate
malnutrition and rural poverty.
So long as large number
of people have inadequate diet,
We cannot have a true surplus
of agricultural production. We
can only have too much of the
wrong things"
String another brand-new So
cial program in the middle of
the war, the President writes:
II am recommending reorgani-
cation of the basic structure Of
the Office of Education. This
reorganization will facilitate
service to the states, in the de-
velopment of more adequate ed
ucational programs with proper
emphasis-emphasis on all the
various aspec Of educa-
ton.
The records of lectiv e
Service reveal that we have fal-
len far short of a suitable stand
ard of elementary and secon-
Diary education. If suitable
standard is to be maintained in
all prts of the country, the Fed
erl Government must render aid
where it is needed-but only
where it is needed :"
II recommend appropri-
atoms for the planning of pub
lie works which the Congress
has already authorized we

plans in order to be prepared
