UN0 Delegates Instructed
To Push Press Freedom
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
American delegates to the United
Nations General Assembly meeting
have been instructed by the State
Department to push for a prompt
international study aimed at pro-
noting freedom of the press, Gov
ernment officials disclosed last night.
In line with former Secretary of
State Edward r. Stettinius' pledge
to the American Society of News
papers Editors, the delegation will
urge that a commission under the
Economic and Social Council, and
not the General Assembly, tackle
the question.
American officials told reporters
they believe that a study by a
group OF experts will be more fruit
full than one under auspices of the
Assembly. American delegates will
advocate that commission for the
promotion of human rights take up
the study.
In telegram to the newspaper
society last June Is, Mr.. Stettinius
promised that as soon as such a
United Nations commission is form
ed "the United State Government
will urge that 1t should promptly
study the means of promoting free
dom of the press, freedom of COM
munication and fuller flow OF knowl-
edge and of information between all
peoples"

Civilian Prisoners Of Axis
To Be Exempted From Draft

Draft age men who were interned
as civilians by enemy nations after
the Pearl Harbor attack will not be
called for induction into the armed
forces, Selective Service has an
nounced. After submitting proof
of their internment to draft boards,
the men will be put in Class 1-C.
Selective Service said few men
were affected by the regulation
Among them, however, are men who
were recruited for construction
work on Wake Island and survived
three and half years of Jap cap
tivity. Some of these are still of
draft age-under 26-because they
were very young when they went to
Wake Island, a draft spokesman
said.
| The Selective Service action fol-
lowed protests by the Denver Amer
lean Legion post to the Colorado
congressional delegation that three
youthful former internees of the
japanese were being drafted. The
youths, two of whom were scheduled
for induction next month, were liv-
ing with their parents in the Philip
pines at the outbreak of war. All
three emphasized that they were
not trying to dodge the draft.

centered attention on the forthcom-

Request 10 Congress
To Extend Some Food
Subsidies Expected
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration may ask Con-
gress for authority to continue a
part OF its present $1,785, ,000, 600
yearly food subsidies beyond June
30, 1t was learned last night.
The authority expires at that
time and the administration has
announced time schedule for re-
moval of the various subsidies be-
tween now and June 80.
The administration had hoped
that the subsidies, applying to a
wide variety of important foods,
could be ended without raising the
cost of living. The subsidies were
started during the war to prevent
undue increases in food costs.
But most farm and food price
increases have been holding at war;
time levels or have moved above
them during recent weeks. The
Agriculture Department reported
today that the general level of
farm prices on December Is was
the highest in Is years.
The subsidy problem was discussed
at several conferences last week at
tended by officials of the Office of
Price Administration, Judge John C
Collet's stabilization Office and the
Agriculture Department.
A department official, who re-
quested that he not be quoted di-
rectly, said administration leaders
were giving serious consideration to
the suggestions for continuing some
OF the subsidies beyond the June 80
deadline.
The administration had been ex-
pected to announce last week plans
for removal of 100000 in meat
and livestock subsidies. The re-
moval is expected to necessitate in
creases in ceiling prices of meats and
meat animals to Offset the subsidies.
The administration has promised
to give cattlemen six months notice
of any price changes. Thus the
administration will have to an
nounce any changes in meat and
cattle ceiling prices by January /,
if the subsidies are to be with
drawn as scheduled.
When the administration an
plans to end subsidies by
June 80, it said it expected prices
of some foods to go down, thereby
any increases that might
be made in prices of subsidized
foods.
But with food prices tending to
and with prospects of
continued price strength until l946
production becomes available, some
officials are said to be
pressing for continuance of the sub
sides until they can be removed
without boosting overall food costs.
