The Warsaw government has In
formed protesting diplomats that
censorship is necessary because oi
the presence of "subversive ele-
ments." All outgoing dispatches and
everything published in Polish news
papers are studied closely by the
censors, who are often advised by the
Russians.
The survey also disclosed that.
Hungary maintains a scrutiny
over outgoing dispatches on behalf OF
the Russians. This has delayed the
transmission of news stories, since
Hungarian officials are available to
"scrutinize" only between m. and
2 pm, and doubtful stories are
passed on to Russian official who is
available only between noon and
pm. There has been only one in
cident of dispatch being halted in
transmission.
In Bulgaria, Romania and Czecho-
slovakia outgoing dispatches are not
censored, but incoming news in Ro-
mania is censored prior to publica-
ton. Dispatches from Prague often
take seven hours to reach London
but this is attributed to poor COM
munications. All outgoing stories in
Bulgaria are translated, primarily
for the information of the ministers
concerned
In Yugoslavia no restraint Is i'm
posed on outgoing dispatches, but
foreign correspondents are held
strictly accountable for what they
send and are subject to punitive ac-
tion. AS in Bulgaria, outgoing dis
patches are translated for the in

AT q press conference later, Mr..

veterans had reached crisis" and
insisted that the pending Patman
bill In the House needed the So
called premium payments" for
extra production of critical build
ing materials, feature eliminated
when the. bill was reported out Of
committee.
In speaking of the task ahead,
Mr.. Wyatt said, that he was asking
Commissioner w. E. Reynolds of
the Public Buildings Administration
to get him larger quarters. The
office now is at Sixteenth and I
streets NV.
1t is hoped, Mr.. Wyatt said, that
the agency might be housed in the
Social Security Building. where it
would be convenient to the Civilian
Production administrator and the
ONCE Of Price Administration.
Mr.. Wyatt said the reaction of the
country indicated the veterans
housing problem is regarded as an
emergency" and that If such is the
case, I'VE need emergency legislation
to implement it,
Asked about the apparent conflict
between the home needs of veterans
and proposed commercial construc-
ton, the housing expediter said the
backlog for commercial building was
positively colossal" He predicted
that unless there was some control
over critical materials for construc-
ton, the demand for business build
ines might take so much critical
material that there might be virtu-
ally nothing left for veterans
homes.
He added that material regula-
tions were being formulated, but did
not indicate whether the regulations
would be more stringent than the
recent action by CPA which chan
neled so per cent of certain critical
materials to low-cost homes, priced
at less than $4,000 or renting for
less than $50 a month. These regu-
lations will be out soon, he predicted.

"As long as there is no self gov
