The first edition of Publisher (news slanted while you wait) Craft was printed June IS, and now there's a daily press run of 2000 copies. Circulation would be higher but Craft can't scrouge any more paper. His staff consists of Master Sgt. Paul R. Croyle, Lakewood, O., and Staff Sgt. .Thomas J. Cardamone, Yonkers, N. Y., but Craft writes most of the quips, essays and poetry that sparkle in each issue. Craft modestly claims as his biggest scoop the "fall" of Cher bourg 24 hours before it actual ly capitulated. While Craft admitted this "beat" came from a BBC broad cast, he gloated editorially: "There is panic On Fleet street today. We are the only paper of general circulation on the beachhead that has no com mitments, no deadlines, no noth ing to prevent our hitting the newstands fustest with the lat est at any hour of the day or night.

"Twenty f our - hours - ahead- or-behind-the-news" Craft was awarded the Legion of Merit for the job he did With the Kodiak Bear in cheering troops and won a Bronze Medal for public relations work. This, in brief, is his editorial platform: Jpolitically we are. neutral. We . . . will not handle any political news.- It would be a waste of time. 'We have never taken strong stands on anything and have never been horsewhipped by our readers. . . . we bow only to higher authority of all grades both British and American, and to -those of lesser rank who are bigger than we are ...

It crystallized the resentment many soldiers feel against gushy articles on what they are fight ing for.
