 LESSON IN JOURNALISM
 Editor X Publisher, watchdog of objective reporting, got its ears pinned back by owl Chief Elmer Davis for printing rumor that the overseas branch of owl may be sold to newspaper publisher.
 Calling it ''quite a story," Davis said: "I can think of one or two better ones-for instance, that the navy may be sold, after the war, to the Hudson River Day Line, the battleships to be used on the AL bany run and the carriers for ex- cursions to Coney Island, with dancing on the flight decks."
 K, x P cOuld have suhstantiated the rumor ''by the simple expe- dient of picking up a telephone" |" Davis said, ''but this would have deprived us of an interlude of in- nocent hilarity."
 THE Pittsburgh (Pa.) Press can be held responsible for this |: ''When he awakened yesterday, Sgt. Mirt told police, his wallet con- taining money and his fathers auto had disappeared"

Trade, Berge Charge,
BY the Associated Press.

LINCOLN, Nebr., June 1.-Wen-
dell Berge. assistant United States
Attorney General, charged in Fed
eral Court yesterday that Western
railroads, since sometime prior to
1882 have operated under an agree
ment which he claimed was IAN un-
lawful contract in restraint OF
trade"
Mr.. Berge appeared in court to
resist the railroads motion to dis
miss the Governments antitrust
suit, filed last August against Al
Western railroads, rail executives
and Eastern banking houses.
Douglas F. Smith OF Chicago
earlier told the court the action OF
the railroads to eliminate competi-
tive waste was taken at the behest
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Mr.. Berge asserted the alleged
agreement, which he termed in res
traint OF trade, had prevented OF
delayed Inauguration of improve
ments in service, including tech
biological improvements"
He also charged the railroads had
"conspired to impose on shippers
higher freight rates in the Western
district than for comparable service
in the Eastern district"
He accused the railroads of con-
spring to deprive perishable prod
ucts shippers Of competitive trans
portation rates and asserted the al
legged agreement by the contracting
railroads, to notify competitors in
advance in writing of any contem-
plated change in rates or service
tended to "monopolize railroad serv-
ice through elimination of competi-
ton"
w. I. Aitken of Lincoln, appear
ing as attorney for Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., New York, one of the defend
ants, declared the suit was an ef-
fort by the Department of Justice
to emasculate and destroy unity OF
action with reference to the fixing

99% Of Yanks Captured
By hazis Survive Ordeal

More than 90 per cent Of Ameri-
can prisoners of war held by the
Germans have survived their hard
ships and are now gradually re-
turning to their homes, the Ameri-
can Red Cross said yesterday.
The Red Cross credited the high
percentage of returning prisoners
"in great part to the correct OBJ
servance by the American Army of
the Geneva convention"
The organization cited the refusal
by German Army commanders to
carry out the orders said to have
been issued by Adolf Hitler last
March for the execution of all Amer
ican and British airmen held captive
in Germany.
"A vital factor back of the re-
fusal," said the Red Cross, was the
German knowledge that both Amer
lean and British governments had
discharged their obligations toward
enemy prisoners in strict accordance
with the Geneva treaty rulings"

Soviet Writer BIames
Perpetrators, Not All
Germans for Crimes
BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, June 1.-Prof. AleXan-
der Trainin, leading writer for tht
i government newspaper Izvestia, sale
today that responsibility for the
war crimes rests on the actual per-
petrators of these acts and not on
the German people as whole.
"Of course, the German state anc
German people should suffer and
will suffer the political and material
consequences of Hitler's aggression
and the Hitlerite system of military
gangsterism," Trainin wrote, "but
only those actual persons who COM
mitted crimes are responsible for
the crimes of the war"
Foreign observers here regarded
the article as vitality significant in
appraising the Russian attitude
toward Germany.
Trainin said the war criminals as
such would fall into two groups:
l. Those who upset relations be-
tween peoples, the planners of in
tl16 dC dlid 1881 CoSioll, VI SdIllACiS VI
fifth columns and acts of terror for
the purpose of stirring up interna-
tional conflicts.
O. Those who carried out the MUIR
der of peaceful citizens, the slaugh-
ter and torture of war prisoners and
the organizers of slave labor.
The foremost of the guilty, he said,
are Hitler, Heinrich Himmler. Jo-
seph Goebbels, Reichsmarshal Goer-
ing, Franz Won Papen, Alfred Rosen-
berg and Robert Ley; Hitler's pro-
teges in various localities, the lead
ers of the Fascist parties, the SUI
preme military command, the Ges-
tapo and Stormtroopers.
In this main group of war GRIM
inals," Trainin wrote, I'VE should
also include the financial and in
dustrial magnates who in the course
of a number of years actively par
ticipated in the preparation of this
war of aggression and now after
Germany's defeat try to pose as
political virgins as they make their
way to comfortable hotels in neu-
| trail countries"
| Trainin also included in his list
of outstanding war criminals "all
persons at the head of satellite
countries" who delivered their home
lands up to Hitler.

The citation reads:
"For meritorious service in con-

"The high degree of efficiency
which Major Stern exhibited in
registering effective fire in Bel
GUM on the enemy at time when
major and formidable attack had
been launched was a material
factor in the repulse and failure
of the onslaught. The aggressive
ness, sound judgment, planning
and exemplary conduct of Major
Stern reflects the highest credit
upon himself and the Armed For
ces of the United States.
