In Germany and Italy there la a censorship of rrsponsi billty which meana that a corre spondent la free to aend anything he wishes, telephoning It out of the courtry, but he la antwcruble to the government for any breach of Impartiality or viola tion of military secrecy.

The work of Associated Preaa reportera In gatherinti newa In the war gone la difficult and often axlremcly luuardoua. -A- f soclated Preaa reportera In Lon don wear "tin hota" much of the time. The Associated Preaa Lon don office waa damaged recently by a bomb that fel Juat outside There were no caaualtlca. Dlalocatlon of normal faclll tie and the future of event more than ever riulre reportera to get their newt hy going to the acene. That la because there la ao much leas of routine report ing of political, industrial and peraonal newa. War la the theme today. Much of the wnr newa la reportera' descrlptlona of what they aee. A constant problem of every foreign correspondent la how to aend hla dlapatchea quickly. In peacetime, the Job waa lo reduce transmission time by mlnutea. Sometimes, now, the taak la to get' out the newa in houra or even days. 5 When the war began, Septem f ber 1, 1930, British cenaora walked auddenly 'nto telephone, cable and wlreleaa offices. A whole ayatem of centrallilng newa In London for rapid and co-ordinated forwarding to New York almply vanished. Before the war, .Associated Preaa. bureaua from Moacow to Lisbon telephoned much of the newa to London where It went on an American cable, operated by Associated Preaa men In the London office, and received in the Associated i'less' New York office without passing through tho customary cabin terminal re lays. All bureaua abroad filed dispatches dlroct to New York occasionally to have such alter nate routes functioning smooth ly. British censors put this system out of action by cutting all nor mal communlcnlions with tho European continent, for some ". days even lines with France, her ally, wore interrupted. Soon the British cut tho German and Ital ian cables. Later relaxation of aomo restrictions woro Insuffi cient to modify London'a newa Isolation. Immediately London was Iso lated, Aasnclntod Preaa bureaua In Moscow, Berlin, Rome, Parla and elsewhere began sending all newa directly to New York ac cording to previous piun, Alternate routea were tested with duplicate riljpatches to do tormina comparative speeds. Krom some point one telephone, wlreleaa or cable route proved faster than anotner. Duplicate messngen were sent directly to New York and through aome oth er bureau. Amatordam, Bern and Copenhagen in neutral Hol land, Switzerland and Denmark quickly proved to be good cen tralizing and reUy points. Stuffs at those points were reinforced. When the Germans took Hol land and Denmark they caused Amatordam and Copenhagen to bo abandoned aa relaya becauae free communication with' other countriea no lougor waa allowed For alx months Bern has been a forwarding office for much of the Aasoclatod Preas newa from the Balkan area, Berlin and Rome. In the early daya of the Vichy French government, most of the newa from there waa tele phoned to Bern ir aent there by courier Now trie Vichy wire less sends dlapatchea direct to New York. Stockholm In nervoua Sweden remains a center tor Scendinavl an and Baltic news. To It go the scanty reports from Latvia, Es tonla and Lithuania now ab sorbed by soviet Russia. Foreign news gathering or ganisations such aa Reuters in the British empire, jlavas In un occupied France, DNB (Deutches Nachrlehtenburo' In Germany Stefanl in Italy end others func' tlon. but their news naturally deals largely with war from the national point cf view. There Is missing much of the detailed report of industry, political fric tion and human activity mat tor merly pictured ration. Honest as many of the foreign organizations' report may be they show a oatnotlc self re straint that makes aomo of their account of other than war con dltiona rather thin. These foreign organization still are uaeful s they always have been In distributing govern ment announcements, texts of Im portant document and speeches nd such matter. . . -Tha Associated Press and oth er United Slates organizations and correspondents, however, get their own i.iw mora than ever before. Pottlcularly must they be vigilant to gu promptly to the scene of war events so they may descrlba Impartially and with Interesting, coionui ae. tails the occurences which offi cial communique relate later and drably.

M, , by im Niuitis HAS TROUBLES N PUSH EAST By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press Writer Fuehrer Hitler has been mov ing mighty fast in swinging the Balkans Into line with the idea of attacking Brltnlns by means of a drive through the Near East, but it strikes me there's no cer tainty that he has moved fast enough to permit a full offensive before next spring, The nazl chieftain's weekend politico-economic accord with Yugoslavia further consolidates the position which the Berlin Rome axis is creating for the big smash, With Rumania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia now apparently safely in tha sack, the potential battle line of the dictator Is right up against the frontiers of Greece and Turkey. But there comes the hitch. These pro-British, Turko-Greck allies are the hold-out tha bad lads of the Balkans who, possibly with the encouragement of Russia, stand between the axla and it near eastern ambi tion. Unless they change their defiant attitude It will be neces sary to manhandle them and plenty before it will be pos sible to force the Dardanelles strait which forms i barrier be tween Europe and the Near East. That's a Job which can't be done overnight, especially since Britain 1 bound to fling Into the battle v r y ounce of naval strength which she can spare.

Officials said today that the new system would operate "more effectively" than the classification procedure of World war years. Ready now, it will first be applied to con script soldier when the initial contingent of 30,000 I called up November 18. Essentially, Its purpose Is to make sure that when the army needs automobile mechanics, electricians or stenographers commanders will know where among the thousands of tralneea to find them. In all, there are about 300 specialized military tasks. Discussing other plans for In duction of trainees, officials said they would be kept as close to home as possible. This, it was explained, will aave money and help make the men happier. "Near home" may be any where in a corp area, although In some Instances a the neces sities of army organization re quire, men undoubtedly will be shifted from one corps area to another. Tentative quotas by corps areas of the first 800,000 men to be drafted were announced by headquarters here yesterday.

Wray, then 26, disappeared November 2, 1038, in Idaho's primitive area while on a hunt ing trip. Allor returned late last night from trie Meeker creek area where the remain were found and said the skeleton showed no evidence of gunshot wounds. Allor said Sam Seiber of Wels er reported he found the skele- ice showed that these first quotas would be exhausted about June 15, by which time new ones may be given out. ton as the result of dream, Seiber went into the area Oc tober 11 with the dead youth's father, Grover, Wray Sr., and two other men to continue search which hai continued pe riodically for two year. ' The coroner said Seiber told him he dreamed Thursday night that he "could locate tha body lying in Meeker creek." "To satisfy his curiosity ha went to the creek," Allor added. "Pursuing his hunch, he travel ed three mile before he found the skeleton. It wa practically at the head of the creek." Explaining hi contention that Wray could not have been lost, Allor said the remains were found in the atream . beside which his hunting party had camped Just two and a quarter miles downstream, and that it was less than a mile from tha spot where the party's horse had been tied the day Wray disappeared.
