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. Where will we strike
next!"
"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 ...
Generally we sponsor the
four freedoms."
Maior (now is the time at
tack, attack, attack) Craft fig
ures he has a 50-50 chance of
getting away without the Pur
ple Heart in case any indignant
subscriber starts gunning for
him, because he has an identical
twin, Capt. Ray K. Craft, In

warfare unit.
"We look exactly Alike." save
Editor Craft.
Most of his editorials how
ever are friendly . rather than
acid in tone, and he has a gift
of. satire which has captured
tne jancy oi tne American army.
- A parody entitled "The Bright

and favorable comment on this
borrowed bit of France. It
crystallized the resentment
many soldiers feel against gushy
articles on what they are fight

Collier said he believed the
Alaska highway in Canada will
fall into disrepair within a few
years. "Our company has no
plans involving installations
along the highway," he added.
we don t think Canada is going
to maintain it. . . . It is pretty

that republicans might try to

them before the election.
The organization of the liouso
by the republicans conceivably
could help their vote-getting ca
pacity in November. And there
is just enough of a chance thnt
they might make the attempt,
and succeed, to cause their op
ponents some worry.
Tho worry has a mathemati
cal basis. There aro 216 demo
crats in the house now, against
212 republicans and four minor
party members. Three scats are
vacant.

Byrnes, who withdrew as a

'Because of his loyalty to the

before leaving office," the paper
said.
The paper reported that

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS ...
"Mary and I were just saying, Judge, how
lucky we arc here in America that we have so
' many natural resources to help win the war."
"That's right, Jim. When war broke out
we had oil, we had steel, we had .food,
lumber, aluminum. ..practically everything
we needed. There's one thing we didn't
ha ve .,. rubber. The enemy had that,"
' "But that didn't bother us for long. Soon
, American brains and industry had synthetic
rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That
filled a critical need . . . you can't win a
war without rubber."
"I was very much interested the other daj
in reading a statement made by a high gov
ernment official on synthetic rubber. In it h
said ' 1 1 is fair to regard the rubber manufao
turcd to dateasbcingalmosteolely the prod
uct of the beverage distilling industry.' "
"He also said that, in his estimation, thi
. tremendous contribution of distillers' indus
trial alcohol to the synthetic rubber program
had not received the recognition which il
deserves." ,
"We certainly learned something today,
didn't we Mary?"
