Armed Forces Warn
Military Censors 10
Avoid 'Coyer-Ups'
BY ths Associated Press


| The three armed services made
public today joint field manual
for the guidance of press censors
in wartime combat areas.
Military censors are urged at
the outset to realize that CEN
sorship Of information 'is an
impingement upon freedom of
the press or freedom Of speech"
which is accepted temporarily
and reluctantly" so that a war
effort may be made more effec-
tive.
Military censors are specifical-
ly cautioned against using blue
pencils or scissors to eliminate
"so-called policy" or other mate
rial for fear of adverse reaction
at home.
ut is not the censor's Job, i"
the manual states, ito chop copy
either to put a bright face on
things or to make the command
look good"
C0ncede Abuses.
The manual comedies, without
giving specific instances, that
military censorship has some
times in the past been used to
cover up blunders. waste and
general Incompetence. In every
such instance, the manual says.
such censorship "has been an
abuse OF power" =
1t is emphasized that field cen
sorship over press dispatches
may be exercised for security
only and that the real test in
each case is whether or not pub-
lication of information reported
might aid the enemy.
The manual is tied to censor
ship regulations announced in
December, 1852. during the Ko-
rean war. and is based upon ex-
perience gained in that conflict
and during World War II. In the
past. each of the services had
its own combat censorship regu-
lations.
In issuing the manual, the
Army, Navy and Air Force said
it will provide a broad frame
work" with which the field press
censor would work and that no
attempt was made to lay down
all Of the detailed policies and
procedures a censor may en-
counter in any given situation.
Urges Flexible Policies.
"Such detailed policies must
vary with changing circum-
stances in the theater and can
be developed realistically only
as day-to-day experience sug-
guests" the manual states.
Field censors are told in the
manual that they are cast in
the role of moderators between
two opposing camps: Ar. exces-
sively cautious. military and
newsmen who desire to make
public everything which is fit to
print When IN doubt, the CEN
sors are instructed, they should
err on the side of protecting Sc
'curity while always realizing
that sound judgment" must be
the final yardstick of any GEN.
sor's decision.
The manual goes into some de-
tail in instructing censors how to
get along with reporters. The
book states, among other things,
that correspondents in the main
are reasonable individuals, with
more than average intelligence
and public spirit. They are i'm
pressed by sound reasoning but
are impatient with faulty logic"
The first joint field censor
ship manual is for use in war
time combat areas. In the event
OF war, copies will be distributed
to accredited correspondents for
their information and general
guidance as well as to the officers
charged with the task Of censor
ing their copy.

HoIifieId Will Insist
On Thorough Study Of
Dixon-Yafes Contract
BY the Asseeiofed Press

Representative Holifield, Dem
ocrat, of California said today
he will insist Oh a thorough
going examination" of an Atomic
Energy Commission contract for
private power through the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
MIR. Holifield. a member of the
Joint Senate-House Atomic En-
ergy Committee, said he will in
sist that the committee make a
complete study of the contract
with the so-called Dixon-Yates
private power combine.
He said in a statement that he
has sent letter to Representa-
tive Cole. Republican. of New
York, committee chairman, rec
ommending a hearing for every
one. who wishes to testify before
the committee.
Asks Copies Of Contract.
He added that he recon-
mended that all Interested per-
sons be supplied with copies of
the contract on request. Some
opponents, of the contract have
complained that the ACC and
the joint committee have refused
to give them copies of the pro-
posed contract, which is not yet
in final form.
The proposed power contract
has been the center of a bitter
controversy for months. Mr..
Holifield fought it on the House
floor when the Atomic Energy
Act was up for consideration.
The contract was the basis for
a 13-day Senate debate which
Senate Republican Leader Know
land termed "full-fledged fill
buster"
Under the proposed contract,
which Acc Chairman Lewis
Strauss has said will be signed
soon. Acc would contract with
the Dixon-Yates group for 600,-
900 kilowatts of power to be sup
piled by a steam plant to be
built in Arkansas. across the
river from Memphis. Tenn. This
power would be delivered to the
IVA for distribution to it's GUS
toners and would replace a like
amount of power iva supplies
to atomic plants at Paducah,
KY. and Oak Ridge. Tenn.
Attacked By Mitchell.
The contract was attacked in
Chicago recently by Democratic.
National Chairman Stephen A.
Mitchell. who termed the project
"a raw deal"
The contract. proposed by
President Eisenhower as a sub
stitute for TWAS plan te4build
steam plant near Memphis, has
been defended by the Budget
Bureau as "a fair and reason
able way" to obtain the power
needed for the Tennessee Valley
area.
However, Senator Gore, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee }and i others
have charged that it will cost
the Government from $50 to $3.50
million more than power from
the plant IVA wanted to build
with funds Congress refused to
appropriate.
Plans Open Hearings.
Mr.. Cole said in commenting
on Mr.. Holif1eld's letter that Il
am certain the committee will
consider the proposals fully and
deliberately. ., He said he plans
to call open hearings on the
proposed contract after the ad-
ministration completes action
on it. ~
Mr.. Cole told. a reporter he
expects a definite outline of the
final contract this week. If so,
he added, it might take a week
or 10 days to recall committee

Highways completes its inven-
tory of township roads in the
state and certifies the amount
that is due each of the 1885 town.
ships" Rhodes said.
LAS soon as our office receives
a voucher from the Bureau of
Motor Vehicles showing the
amount due the townships we
will start Immediately writing
the checks" he added.
Under the provisions of bill
introduced by Representative
Charles o. Wheeler of Mt.
Gilead, and passed by the last
General Assembly over the gov
ernor's veto, Ohio's 1885 town
ships will share for the first time
this year in the motor vehicle
license fees.
The Wheeler bill took from the
Department of Highways its
previous 1870 share of motor
vehicle licenses and allocated it
as follows: go to counties, go
to municipalities, and $50 to
townships. In lieu of the 1870
taken from its maintenance fund,
the highway department was
given the proceeds of an addi-
tional one cent tax on gasoline
and the revenue from the axle
mile tax,
The Wheeler bill provided that
the SO of motor vehicle funds
allocated to townships is to be
distributed in the ratio which
the total number of miles of
roads in a township bears to the
total number of township roads
in the state, as determined by
the director of highways
1t also provided that, before
such distribution is made, each
board of township trustees shall
certify to the highway director
the actual number of miles
under its statuatory jurisdic-
ton which are used and main
tanned for the public"
Compiling this inventory of
township roads in the state is
the reason for the delay in dis
tributing motor vehicle funds to
the townships.

Lumps On Maple Leaves
Are Maple Bladder Gall

Small Jumps that form on the
top surface of some soft and
silver maple leaves at this sea-
son are maple bladder gall, Lyle
Coleman, Ohio State University
extension entomologist said
today.
The bladder like gals are
bright red, but become reddish
purple, dry up and blacken to-
ward the end of the summer.
Affected leaves become deform-
ed and drop pre-maturely.
A tiny mite causes the gall.
1t hibernates in crevices or
wounds in tree limbs and under
rough bark on the trunks. AS
buds swell in early spring, the
N move to the new leaves and
pWEture the tender tissues.
Calls form where the leaves
are punctured and the mites
feed, reproduce and mature in
SIDE the gail. AS leaves drop in
the fall, mature mites return to
their winter home under tree
bark and in cracks and crevices
on trees.
Coleman said the malformation
OF the leaves causes no apparent
injury to the tree. However, in
stances of severe defoliation may
weaken the tree, he added
There is no treatment while
the gals are on the leaves, the
specialist said. Calls should serve
to remind homeowners to spray
infected naples with l part of
liquid lime-sulfur to 9 parts of
water next spring before the
buds swell - about early March.
He warned those who sprav to
do it carefully, since lime-sulfur
will discolor woodwork and
stain bricks, walks, etc.
