- This is newspaper week. Most
editors have had their fill of these
promotion weeks, though we have
fewer of them since foods were ra
tioned. In this ease there may be
disposition for newspaper folk
to act like Little Jack Homer,
who, you remember
t , sat in a corner
Eating a Christmas pie;
He stuck in his thumb -
And pulled out a plum.
And said What a big boy am I."
. For when it comes to ; rating
their place in the scheme of things
newspaper people are vain. They
do an unconscionable, amount of
lording it oyer creation, pontifi-
eating about politics, morals, eco
nomics. They have seized on the
constitutional guarantees . of free
dom of speech to set themselves
up as a class apart, claiming ex
emption from a lot of legislation
on that ground. Retaining full lib
erty of criticism of others they are
thin - skinned - themselves when
they are criticized. .It hurts ,to
have their mantle of. smugness
ripped aside. They enjoy being
fawned over by politicians, pro
moters, uplifters' and town plan
ners.' V; " . r,.: - - ';
So far as freedom of the press
Is concerned, newspapers have and
enjoy it, In fact many editors and
publishers enjoy it so much they
abuse it. They make their papers
the vehicles ' for their personal
whims .'

42,000 airplanes have
been lost by the army air forces
since Pearl Harbor, the AAF dis
closed today, , with, operational
losses accounting for twice as
many as combat operations. .
f Since the start of the war, Gen.

the air forces have dropped a mil

and have destroyed more than 27,-000-of
his planes.
A total of 27,400 planes I have
been lost as the result of what the
army describes . as "other than
combat causes" since Pearl Harbor
17,500 in the United States. Pre
sumably a substantial part of the
planes lost in .the United States
were in training operations.
Crashes occurring during the rou

for smaller proportion. In over
