many into two isolated sections,
while a meeting between the 9th
Army and the Russians near Berlin
would accomplish a similar feat,
making it impossible for the Ger
man high command to conduct any
sort of organized war. {.
This is particularly true in view
OF the fact that nine -tenths of
Germany's heavy industry is in
Allied hands.
Such cutting up of the Ger
man Army would allow German
soldiers to surrender with honor"
because their military situation
would be impossible.
Formal Truce Doubted.
Almost all Germans, officers and
civilians, seem to agree that there
will be no formal truce. They say
the Nazis will never make peace and
there is no other German group
strong enough to do so.
They say the German soldier
would like to stop fighting. but that
he will not give up until he knows
he can surrender without danger of
retaliation from the Nazis.

Nation Given All New,
Security Will Permit,
Byron Price Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

by t1t ASSOCldteu rItSs
Byron Price, director of censor
ship, said last night that in general
the public is being given all the
news possible consistent with ma
tional security.
"Of course" he declared on a
Blue Network radio program, there
have been mistakes, and censorship
has made its share, but I think
that any broadcaster or newspaper
man would say that the news avail
able is far more complete than in
any other country, and far more
complete than many people thought
would be possible when the war
started"
will censorship end as soon as
there is no longer any security
problem involved?" he was asked by
commentator.
II hope So" Mr. Price replied, Il
will do everything I can to see that
all censorship ends completely the
moment the shooting ends and
American life is no longer in dan
ger
No Censorship of Opinion.
At the opening Of the program, at
which he explained what the CEN
sorship code covers and its volun-
tary operation, Mr.. Price was asked
Has the censorship code ever
been applied to control the express
sion of oplnion?"
No" the chief censor replied
I'VE nave made no requests in the
field of opinion, and every one is
free to speak his mind so long as he
does not disclose information of
value to the enemy"
To what degree have broadcasters
and editors co-operated in observ-
ing the code so far?" he was asked
They have co-operated remark
ably well. The sum total of the
contribution which has been made
to national security is very great
indeed"
Have all broadcasters and editors
agreed with all requests of censor
Shlp?'
Haven't Always Agreed.
mo" Mr.. Price answered. Nat
urally they have not. There have
been many instances in which they
complied reluctantly because they
did not agree. but still they have
complied as patriotic contribu-
ton
What is the general feeling of
broadcasters and editors toward
censorship"
Il am quite sure" Mr.. Price said
they do not like censorship and
neither do I, but I believe there is a
universal recognition that we must
have some restraints in wartime and
that the Government is in the best
position to know what restraints are
important"

1--WE have not grasped the size OF
the problem which we face in re-

will be from seven and a half to
eight million soldiers facing read
justment, and approximately 90

need particularly a wholehearteo
community support"

terstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee said last night members
of his committee would give prompt
consideration to demands for an in.
vestigation of the manufacture anc

A demand for investigation of the
manufacture of inflammable cowboy
suits was registered with the House
yesterday by Representative Rankin

urged the Justice Department to
prosecute those responsible for this
criminal practice"
Mr.. Rankin said he would offer q
resolution calling for a probe unless
such move were made by men,
ber of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee.
Mr.. Rankin took the House floor
to attack the reckless use of these
inffammable materials" after read
ing reports that three boys in this
area had died of burns caused wher
their play suits were ignited.
Cites Other Disasters.
Citing the Boston Coconut Grove
night club disaster and the loss OF
life in the Hartford circus fire, Mr.
Rankin said: Anybody who has
sense enough to operate a factory
certainly has enough sense to en-
ploy chemists to tell them when they
are using dangerous materials.
II hope the Interstate and For.
eign Commerce Committee, which
has jurisdiction in matters of thi'
kind, will investigate it and see tina
legislation is reported to the Hous.

1900 Yanks, Freed
From Ndzi Prisons
By Reds, Reach u. ).
Ry the Associated Press,

j
BOSTON, April l0-Fifteen hun
dred liberated American soldiers
were eating good Yankee chow
today after months of meager meals
in German prison camps.
Freed from Nazi rule by Russian
forces sweeping across Poland last
January, the men marched ashore
from an Army transport just after
dark Sunday night-the first large
group of ex-prisoners to come home
from the European theater.
The cheering soldiers trudged
down gangplanks, almost drowning
the music of a welcoming Army band
on the dock, and then were whiSked
away to a nearby camp for proc
essing and briefing, preliminary to
being granted furloughs.
Get Steak and Ice Cream.
They ate steak and ice cream and
all that goes between and talked
endlessly. There were tales Of near
starvation and mistreatment, yarns
of high adventure and thrilling
escape, Of desperate flight through
enemy held territory. and of death
faced on many a cold and fearful
morning.
Through the discordant symphony
of the arrival and the settling down
ran two themes, echoed and re-
echoed by a thousand throats.
TIE Red Cross" the men said,
those packages of theirs kept us
alive" and the Poles, they didn't
have much, but they shared what
they had"
Some of the soldiers-among them
were SO from New England-had
been in prison camps for two years.
Several of them knew Larry Allen,
Associated Press war correspondent,
who recently was returned to this
country on the exchange ship Grips
holm.
Men Lose Weight.
Second 1t Rudolph J. Malchiodi,
Deep River, Conn, said he had been
at Oflag 81 with Mr.. Allen. The
lieutenant said he dropped from 1875
to $50 pounds eating German prison
fare.
Typical of the men who spent some
time at Limburg-a German prison
camp recently taken by the 1st Army
before they we're moved to Poland,
was Pfc. Paul Thompson of Marys-
vile, Ohio, who dropped from 1913
pounds to ITO pounds in three
months.
Later he said he escaped from the
prison camp in Poland while the
Germans were trying to move the
prisoners back to the Reich in the
face of the swift Russian advance
His right leg cut by shrapnel. Pfc
Thompson said he hobbled on for 10
days until a Polish girl found him
and nursed him until he was able to
continue his flight.
"She saved my life" he declared
I'm going back to Poland some day
and get her"
He was joined by scores of others
in his praise of the Poles.
Pfc. Walter w. Steinhaus of She
boygan, Wis, experienced a German
court-martial along with his other
troubles He said he hit a guard
and drew 3-year-3-month SEN
tence.

LONDON, April 10. - Forecasts
that Britain's s wartime coalition gov
eminent will come to an early end
were voiced today by virtually all
London newspapers as the House Of
Commons reconvened in an atmos-
phere of tension and dispute after
its Easter recess.
The Daily Express, owned by Lord
Beaverbrook, demanded a general
election, Britain's first in 10 years,
"at the earliest moment" Lord
Beaverbrook is a member of Prime
Minister Churchills cabinet.
There is no need to lament this
political cleavage now that the Ger
man danger no longer threatens"
the Daily Express said.
The Times declared that 1T is in
evitable that with one accord the
parties should seek to resume free
dom of speech now that the primary
task of the coalition is almost
achieved
Both the conservative Daily
Sketch and the Daily Herald de-
plored the agitation for an early
election, but agreed that one seemed

Threat Of u. ). Seizure
Prods Coal Conferees
Nearer Agreement
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Prodded to action by contin-
uing threat of Federal seizure
of mines, soft coal operators and
p miners were nearer agreement
today on terms of a work con-
tract than at any time during
six weeks of negotiations.
The work situation in the mines
had improved, but the situation in
captive" mines that feed steel mills
was still serious and thousands OF
tons of steel production are being
lost daily. Seizure of the struck
mines was still a possibility today.
John l.. Lewis and the operators
were in agreement in principle on
all but the miners demand that all
mine employees be classed as
miners" except the superintendent
and one foreman at each mine
This demand would reduce by two
thirds the number of mine super
visory workers.
Agreement Is General.
Agreement on wage issues was
described as very general, however,
and one operator said I'VE still have
a tremendous amount of negotiating
to do before there will be a firm
contract" The miners, it was under
stood, would receive about SIPS a
day more pay from issues resolved
If this is written into a contract, it
would represent the best deal Mr.
Lewis ever made for his union.
The War Labor Board, meanwhile,
was understood to have sent seizure
papers to Economic Sterilization Di-
rector William H. Davis and the
wish to scan today's reports on the
wildcat strike situation in the
field before making a decision on
seizure. Involved in tsle unauthor-
lied strikes are about $50 mines,
mostly in Western Pennsylvania
Alabama, Kentucky and Indiana.
Ezra Van Horn, conference chair,
man, announced at the conclusion
of yesterdays long negotiating SeS-
sion at the Shoreham that 'tenta-
tive agreement had been reached
on all but one of the major contract
issues.
Later. Mr.. Lewis submitted the
tentative proposals to his 250-mem-
Der Policy Committee and the group
is said to have extended approval.
1t could not be learned whether Mr.,
Lewis was prepared to be tough"
on the foreman issue

composed of miners and operators

solve remaining differences. The
