Navy's New Policy on
Release of News Hailed As
Step In Right Direction
New York City (ILNS).—Hailing
the Navy Department's new policy
providing for the speedier release of
news, Editors & Publisher says, un
der the heading, "Navy Censor Re
laxes."
"Under a heavy barrage of pro
tests from newspaper editors and cor
respondents, the Navy Department
apparently has eased off its tight grip
on the news. To be sure, the first evi
dences of a new policy concern mat
ters which are scarcely current.
Eleven months after the event, the
public has at last been informed that
the famous Battleship is the U.S.S.
South Dakota which thousands of
people have known all year, but which
newspapers could not print.
"We also hear now that the com
manding officers at Pearl Harbor will
not be brought to court-maritial for
their alleged negligence until after
the war—a fact which we seem to
have read several months ago. Also
of 1942 vintage is the release of de
tails on the sinking of the U.S.S.
Hornet.
"It must be plain to the President
and his military and naval advisers
that no newspaper in America wishes
to violate any reasonable regulations
designed to promote the safety of our
fighting units. The press has cheer
fully complied with requests for se
crecy, even when no logical basis for
them was evident. As months passed,
it became more and more clear to
competent editors and Washington re
porters that military censorship was
suppressing news to which the people
had a just right. The findings of the
newspaper advisory board of the OWI
made this plain in words which could
not be misunderstood, and the appar
ent change in naval policy followed
immediately.
"If the new order is to be perma
nent, it will have to have similar sup
port in the War Department, even
more, from the President himself. Mr.
Roosevelt's attitude toward the White
House reporters in recent months has
all too often been either peevish or
arrogant, and in neither guise is he at
his best."
Labor and Many Other
Organizations to Help
Returning War Veterans
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Eight
government agencies, headed by the
Veterans' Administration and U. S.
Employment Service, the Red Cross,
labor organizations and civic leadei's
in every community in the country
will aid in obtaining civilan jobs for
returning war veterans.
A bulletin issued by Selective Serv
ice announces plans to assign to every
draft board a reemployment commit
teeman, who will be the veteran's
"personal representative, agent and
adviser" in returning him to his old
job.
In addition, the bulletin announces
the creation of a national clearing
house committee, consisting of repre
sentatives from 16 organizations, and
said that state and local committees
were now being organized.
Labor on Local Groups
The function of local committees
will be to handle, as community prob
lems, "all reemployment cases that
cannot be adjusted by the reemploy
ment committeemen" attached to the
draft boards.
The local committees will be com
posed. of persons from the 16 organi­
•5AVINCS
s
1
zations represented on the national
committee and from any other groups
which can help with the task.
The 16 organizations include the
American Federation of Labor, Rail
way Labor Executive Association,
and Congress of Industrial Organiza
tions. Others are: American Farm
Bureau Federation, American Iron
and Steel Institute, American Legion,
Disabled American Veterans, Kiwanis
International, Lions International, Na
tional Association of Manufacturers,
National Exchange Club, National
Grange, Rotary International, United
States Chamber of Commerce, United
States Junior Chamber of Commerce,
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Committeeman's Duties
Each honorably discharged veteran
is entitled to have his problem handled
by the reemployment committeeman
of his own local board, or if that is
inconvenient, the committeeman of
any other local board.
The reemployment committeeman,
in addition to his direct responsibility
of returning the veteran to his old
job when possible, will serve as liai
son man with Government agencies
which provide specific services for
veterans.
WAR ACTIVITY COUNCIL

from the WAVES and WACS, Miami
U n i v e s i y o- e s a e e o i n
SWACS this fall. The name stands for
Student War Activities Council.
Members donate blood to the Red
Cross, help in the Red Cro^s surgical
dressing unit and do a host of other
things that help the war effort.
Safety and Health Ignored
Boston. State legislatures com
pletely ignored need for adequate in
dustrial safety measures and inspec
tion staffs, the AFL Executive Coun
cil reported to the federation's annual
convention. About half the states have
no authority to make safety codes for
industry and not one state was given
authority this year, the council said,
adding that the need for passage of
the Norton bill for federal aid to state
labor departments to protect the
health and safety of workers is
"amply demonstrated by the lack of
interest shown by the states in this
subject."
Garbage Contract Signed
BANIV&
•HAMILTON OHIO*
"The Bank of Helpful Service"
Middletown, Ohio.—A contract for
the removal of garbage in five dis
tricts of Lemon Townships was signed
Monday by Township Trustees. The
work will be handled by Carl D. Kash
who was authorized to make the col
lection's in Dixie Heights, Maple
Ridge, Avalon, Maple Park, and
Graham Subdivisions. A charge for
the collection will be made direct
against householders on the basis of
the quantity carted away.

London.—Cost of living levels in

fluctuation for several months, the
bulletin of the International Federa
tion of Trade Unions states.
Food prices have been unchanged
for at least two years, around 20%
above pre-war level. Stabilization is
attributed to Britain's price control
policy which makes wide use of sub

CONGRESS ABSENTEEISM
(From the International Teamster)
Congress has stopped talking about
absenteeism at the moment, but it has
not stopped practicing it. When the
present session opened more than half
the members were absent, according
to the United Press.
Out of 96 Senators* only 53 were
present.
Of 435 House members, only 168
answered the opening roll call. The
present session of Congress may be
called for one of the most important
ever held for the nation. But a major
ity of the members were too busy
with their own personal affairs to be
there.
