CENSORSHIP PLAN
FOR FIS OKEH
Byron Price Granted Leave
By A.P. To Take Up Direc
torship of Wartime Setup
Washington. Dec. 17..
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."

SWEM'S GIFT SHOP
OREGON, WEDNESDAY,
'ANNUAL EPIDEMIC
KEEPS D. A. BUSY
District Attorney George W.
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.
