IForresfaI 10 Call Meeting
On Voluntary Censorship
Nv the Assosiotsd Press

A conference of press, radio and
motion picture representatives Will
be called within three weeks by
Secretary of Defense F'orrestal for
discussion Of voluntary security
on military secrets.
The purpose, according to Capt
Robert Berry, Mr.. Forrestaps pub
lie relations officer, will be to find
out if the press and other organi-
cations disseminating information
desire to ask the advice of defense
officials before publishing certain
material.
Capt. Berry emphasized that the
Secretary's plans had no relation
to censorship.
1--WE merely want to offer our
facilities to those who want to use
them in ascertaining what inforn1a-
ton should be published" Capt
Berry said.
He said Secretary Forrestal hoped
through the conferences to evolve
a voluntary program assuring pro-
lection of any military secrets. Such
a program, he added, would be set
up and managed by the publishers
and others themselves.
"It would" he said, give them
a place to 60 if there were doubt
as to the advisabiilty of publishing
any information concerning nation
al defense. There would be abso-
lutely no censorship"

Democrats Shrug Off
Threat Of Party Split .
lin Southern States
BY The Assoeiofed Press

Democrats pointed hopefully to
fresh evidences of party unity today
despite a breach in their Southern
precincts, while members of the Re-
publican National Committee head
ed homeward confident that they
can elect their presidential nomi-
nee.
The DemocratS were cheered by
the decision of A. F. Whitney, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trianmen, to 90 along with the
campaign to keep President Tru-
man in the White House.
They were somewhat depressed,
however, although few of them
would acknowledge it publicly, by a
party secession" threat from Field
ing L. Wright, taking Office for q
full term as Governor of Mississippi.
Wright Urges Split.
Gov. Wright declared in his inau-
gural address yesterday that the
time has come tor Southern Demo-
Gratis to leave a party that insists
on pressing Congress to enact such
"anti-Southern" legislation as a
permanent Fair Employment Prac-
tices Commission, antilynch and
antipoll tax bills and similar pro-
posals.
While Gov. Wright's protest fol-
lowed recent objections in the Sen
ate by Senator Eastland, Democrat,
of Mississippi to what Senator East
land said was campaign to pick
Justice Douglas of the Supreme
Court for the vice presidential NOM
ination, party leaders insisted they
are not particularly worried.
One of these, who refused to be
identified, said the recalcitrant Dem
ocrats have no place else to go. He
contended that Gov. Wright and
Senator Eastland we're speaking
primarily for local consumption
and forecast that these speeches
would have no effect on the party's
plans.
COP Sets Campaign Funds.
These evidences of Democratic
differences were matched by the
Republicans, who ended a two-day
meeting Of their National Commit
tee by approving a $4,000, 900 budget
for their 1948 campaign expendi-
lures.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
assistant Senate majority leader,
made it plain that all Republicans
do not agree on pending issues,
particularly the proposal of Sena-
tor Flanders Of Vermont and Repre-
sentative Javits Of New York to
set up standby machinery for meat
rationing.
The Democrats publicly ignored
both these Republican differences
and their own woes in Mississippi
But they were happy to announce
that Mr.. Whitney and his railroad
men are back in the fold after
months of bitter recriminations
since the dramatic moment wher
President Truman appeared before
Congress in May, 1916, and asked
for power to draft workers into the
harmed forces to prevent threat
ened railroad strike.
