We believe the British bare struck the sound course in censorship that might well be emulated by all of the United Nations. r By DeWITT ! ' Wide World ( i LONDON, Oct. 13 The British censorship of news which. to say the least. Is one of the most liberal of the many under 'which I have worked in countries of both hemispheres is based Ion the philosophy that the wartime morale of a nation is in direct 'ratio to the amount of information the public gets, especially i from the battle-fields. I Since this principle obviously , suits in John Bull's domains, it the view I expressed not long xnp. FEEL OF THE WAR I It Is this: , . The way we Americans can get the real feel cf the war, which i up to now has been so far away from us, is to transport us 'through the press into the heat of battle. Let the home folk in - spirit fight by the side of our '"with them. This may be achieved by reporting the new, fully wmloit is not not in filtered .'ashes are cold. '; ' I quickly discovered that this is one of the tenets of the Brit ish censorship when I turned for enlightenment to Minister of Information Brendan Bracken and. Admiral G. P. Thomson. Of Messrs. Bracken and Thomson itrue in some other countries with its that the two are merely and the public. ' That is to say, censorship of i nates with the navy, army or are notoriously inclined to maintain silence. Admiral Thomson, , a jolly seadog who has had a long and distinguished career in tbis Majesty's navy, admitted this to me with a grin. It thus be - ,, comes, a matter of persuasion on the part of the Ministry of Information when one of the services gets sticky about giving up I'the hews. ' Here it may be said that the firm of Bracken and Thomson , appears to be doing a grand job There is the most liberal interpretation of the rule excluding 'the publication of information which might aid the enemy. He is given full credit for having s keeps him well informed and wait unless it is obvious that circulation of news. would do harm. i : Bracken , is one of the outstanding personalities in Britain. Since the Ministry of Information has a vast responsibility for I public morale, he also is one of the keystones of the government at uie comparatively youthful age :FAIR TO THE PUBLIC . I called the minister's attention to the fact that members of (Some armed services advocate creation of official reporters to cover the news. These reporters would be professional fighting (men and would replace war correspondents now sent into the field by newspapers. ', , Bracken's broad shoulders heaved and his fiery crest bristled. "Impossible!" he exploded. J "It wouldn't be fair to the public. And no man who isn't a trained and experienced journalist is capable of producing the report to which the people are entitled." He gestured with his expressive hands and machine-gunned at another target r. "We believe in giving the press freedom of expression. During J the desert fighting in northern Africa, British correspondents .in the field even criticized our command. They raised the devil Jwith us back home. But we let them go ahead. We think they have the right to express their views." ALWAYS OPEN From 'Brendan Bracken I went into the office of the chief J censor, whose door is always open. Thomson is a quiet smiling man of ,83 who is said to be one of the best liked persons' in Britain. i, The chief censor is emphatic in support of the thesis that full (access to the news is essential to maintain the morale of the -people. He agreed, too, that officers couldn't be used success fully as war correspondents. There is a debate in Britain at the moment as to whether it is ! vital to the- morale of the fighting forces) as well as of the public, that they be kept fully informed of all angles of the war. . I asked the admiral how he felt about it. 1 . "Decidedly it's essential," he replied. "As a matter of fact, when I was in command at sea I used to give a lecture on world news to my crew every week." . 1 We get an even better glimpse of this man who is conducting tone of the most delicate and difficult jobs in the world when we are given tne code under which i Let him tell you himself: "It would be best, I think, to about everything but if we did that it would mean keeping our "own people in the dark and that would never do, for the people i nave me ngnt to Know wnat Is going on around them. ;. 'They have the right to draw their own conclusions to criticize i and to demand that what appears wrong to them should be put .

AFL Seeks Probe Of Thurman Arnold 1 TORONTO, Ont., Oct. 13 VP) The American Federation of jtabor ; voted Monday to ask p. S.

PORTLAND, Oct, 13 fl) Multnomah county registration for the November election is 176,238, a decrease of 26,371 from the 1940 registration. Democrats outnumber repub licans, 89,967 to 84,104. News B By BwlMaLlOX WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 Watch next for a big naxi a rive on Leningrad. Preparations for a renewed "' enacic on nussta second cltv have been noted. Th Rr. mans want to get there, before a heavy freeze enables the Rus sians to move reinforcements in across the ice. If the Germans can break through and capture the city, they can Join lines with the Finns. The city, therefore, has great strategic value. Its loss also would put an end to the operations of a few small naval units .which the Reds have been able to maintain in the Baltic and would close that sea to Stalin. ADMISSION Hitler's suggestion that ha will switch to artillery and dive bombing at Stalingrad to merely an admission that he went after the city the wrong way in the first place. He thought he could take it in a hurry by direct as sault, but his losses were too heavy, probably not as great as the fantastic Russian claims, but too heavy to warrant continu ance of that method. Dive bombinc and artillerv fire are slower, but there are few authorities who expect Stal ingrad will stand. Timoshenko hat been hittln the nazi left flank, north of the city, where the reds have been trying to get an offensive started for some weeks. This might possibly cause Hitler to relax his grip on the city. But there Is every reason to expect the nazis will swarm on southward and establish a Volga river aeiense line for the winter. SWING 8UIT The government is none too sure of its case against James Petrfllo, tha musicians' labor czar, who tells the nation what music it can hear. The courts have not been encouraging Prosecutor Thurman Arnold much in his efforts to use the anti-trust laws to break up union czansm. Petrillo is really only a small potato in Arnold's fight. The powerful AFL, building trades union group is much more im portant, and it practices ' the same controls Petrillo uses, re stricting View devices for mak ing building cheaper, etc. It is swinging its publicity and leeal power behind Petrillo. There is no Question about Arnold's ability to prove these charges, but the supreme court nas handed down rulings which put the unions beyond the pale of many laws, and these are bind ing the lower courts. Latest such was the Justice Byrnes' opinion, absolving a New York local teamsters union from racketeering charges,' on the ground that congress did not in tend to bring unions within the scope of the racketeerins stat. utes. ... NELSON STAYS Some of the new dealers have been mildly grumbling at Don ald Nelson, and hinting that he may have to be replaced, but mcir laiK nas aiea down since the president took an optimistic view oi the production deficien cies and. Nelson announced ha would bold his job until kicked out. Most authorities around WPB expect the year-end figures to show displeasing deficits, and are already beginning to calcu late the shortage of tanks, planes, etc., in terms of days, so they can be announced in that blind way. . instead of saying we are short so many planes, they will say we were short a certain number or plane production days. it is wholly a lob now of cor- rccung maldistribution of raw materials and labor. No one in WPB, including Nelson, appears pleased with the way things are going. . If there is another blow-UD land reorganization, it will prob- Daoiy come around the first of me year. HAPPY. Justice Jimmy Byrnes' friends say he was not very reluctant to leave the supreme court, as he found it the unhappiest of all government agencies. There are others who would like to get off the lofty bench. Justices Black and Douglas are - constantly clashing over shades of new deal meanings. Some, of the justices have frown. ed on Justice Frankfurter's extra-curricular activities in admin istering the new deal on the ORIVI OUT D017EI wmdworwi eas ml trouble tnaldo you or your Donus canal wizen tor warning afrnst OdfeUnar. "nleW arm! u.i SIDE GLANCES w.mnnmottlnw.iwi,lf, Mm't "Let the heavy tanks pass and pick off those light mi chine guns bringing up the rear l side. Justice Murphy is openly dissatisfied. Unless Mr. Roosevelt prompt ly appoints a successor to Byrnes, there are going to be many 4 to 4 decisions from the remaining blckerers. ALL QUIET General' MacArthur's Aussles have pushed up now to the pass in the Owen Stanley moun tain range of New Guinea, but probably will not go farther. The problem of supplies becomes dif ficult beyond that point, as the Japs found out when they ad vanced to our side of the pass. The Australians had no great difficulty in forcing their way back to the divide. That front is likely to remain quiet. IN AUTO THEFTS A 16-year-old boy has admit ted the theft of six automobiles, including the car of Miles Saun ders which was found in the gov ernment canal, it was reported by Harold Hendrickson, county juvenile officer. Hendrickson said that the boy claims all of the cars he stole had been left unlocked and with the keys in the ignition switches. This youngster, according to tne juvenile officer, discovered that men taking welding and other shop classes at the high school in the evenings often leave their cars with the keys in them. He found it easy to drive the cars away, and usually abandoned them after an eve ning's drive. "The fact the keys were in the cars does not excuse this boy," said Hendrickson. "But it does indicate carelessness which may lead to more thefts. There are many transients in the commun ity at this time, and it is a wise precaution to lock car doors and remove the keys." Harney County Records First Hunting Fatality BURNS, Ore., Oct. 13 VP) Harney county recorded its first deer hunting fatality of 1942 Sunday, Coroner H. Z. Smith re ported today. The victim was Warren Watson, 29, garage own er here. Smith said the accident was unwitnessed but it appeared that Watson accidentally discharged his own gun as he dismounted from a horse. BALLOON LOOSE SEATTLE, Oct. 13 VP) A runaway army barrage balloon, trailing 1,000 feet of cable across buildings and short-cir cuiting power lines in the down town business district, blacked out a large section of the city shortly after 6:80 a. m. today.

Makketi E UPSWING; BUT SELLING 1AGS By VICTOR EUBANK NEW YORK. Oct. 13 (IP) Stocks generally resumed the advance In today's early market dealings ' but a little selling came in after mid-day and halt ed the upswing for many lead' ers. At the start gains ranged from tractions to 2 points in active transactions. Customers returned from their double holiday about as bullish for the war and tax prospects as they were last week when two se sions of a million shares or bet ter lifted prices generally to new highs for the year or long er. Those with relatively large profits on the lengthy climb began to cash in parts of their commitments and, while llqul dation never was particularly insistent, quotations wero sub stantially reduced or trans formed into moderato declines near the close. Sales around 880,000 shares. Well in front at intervals wero American Telephone, Du Pont, North' American,. General Electric, N. Y. Central, Penn sylvanla, Union Pacific, Dow Chemical, Allied Chemical Texas Co., Westlnghouse and Montgomery Ward. Occasional backsliders in eluded U. S.
