Stephen Early, White House sec retary, said today the govern ment hoped to have the rough outlines of a censorship plan ready for President Roosevelt's approval by the time the war powers bill reaches him from congress. Early said an advisory com mittee composed of Vice Presi dent Wallace, Attorney General Biddle, Postmaster General Wal ker, and Lowell Mellett, direc tor of the office of government reports, had been working on various plans for some time and that they would be submitted to Byron Price, newly appoint ed censorship director. Price Due Friday Price is expected here Fri day to take over his new duties. He has been granted a leave of absence as executive news editor of the Associated Press. The war powers bill is expect ed at the White House soon, possibly today. The censorship setup will be different from that created in 1917 under George Creel, Early said. Government departments and agencies will continue to issue press releases, as at pres ent, but those bearing on the war will be approved first by an interdepartmental committee to be established under Price's direction. In the first world war all war information was filtered through Creel's office of infor mation, which had its own re porters covering the govern ment departments. News Sources Left "Price will build his own house as the needs determine" Early said. "His office will not be a news production office. You will get your news where you have always been getting it. Present information sources re main open to you, and the ar rangement is decentralized and quicker than in 1917. 'The great value of news is getting it from the source to the reader in a minimum of time." METZGER RUES 2P.IWIRSDAY Robert Rollo Metzger was born in Missouri on March 3, 1887.

Nellson today Issued his annual Christmas time warning to storekeepers and others, to use caution in cashing checks of strangers, and others, whose fi nancial state Is not known to them. The regular before Christ mas epidemic of bad checks has started, the official said. The district attorney reports this is the favorite season for passing of worthless checks, due in many instances to a desire to obtain holiday money. The spurious paper Is being reported "almost hourly," the official says. Two men were picked up yes terday, charged with passing a bogus $5 check on a store keeper. The check was so poor ly written it was barely legible, and there was nothing about the appearance of the pair to indicate they had that much money In a bank. The accused appeared in Justice court, and were ordered sent back to Jail to sober up, before they entered a plea. They are scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon. The district attorney asks that merchants and others through out the county exercise more care. It will save them and the county money. Five arrests have been made this week so far for no-account checks. Three are in the county jail, ready to enter pleas of guilty. Most of the checks reported are for small amounts.
