Or Do You Think You Should Be Spared Gorier Details? BY PETER EDSON TTOW do you want your war news and pictures dished up? Can you take your war news factual account of war as it really is, or do you want all the horrible aspects of it cut out by a sensitive censor? And then, on top of that, do you want just the "glory" of war played heroism, the personal accounts of bravery, the the news of the defeats, the setbacks, the real account of the suffering, the cries of the wounded and the shell-shocked, the unretouched pictures of the dead? These are questions which you might as well make up your mind on now. In the last war, no photos of the dead were printed till after the war was over, and a few years after that. Then there was a regular orgy of horror pictures. They.came all at pages of them in some newspapers, in magazines, by the best-selling book- ful. They showed war as it really had been and they may have played their part in building up the American psychological insistence upon an era of peace.

OLD STORY Up until recently the same pattern has been followed in telling the story of World War II to the American people. Pictures of dead Americans that been taboo. Pictures of the wounded have been passed only after the wounds have been washed up, after bandaging, after the maimed have been tucked between clean sheets in hospital bunks. Similarly, the stories of the casualties have been played down. Only local casualty lists are published.

The marvel of blood plasma and the sulpha drugs have been played Evacuation of the wounded by flying of the danger zone and back to the quiet of the base hospital? has been emphasized. The efficiency of the Army and Navy medical services has been acclaimed. An Office of War Information report of last May, on the recovery of the American wounded, gave figures that only 2.6 percent of the Navy and Marine Corps personnel wounded in action subsequently died. Comparable Army figures weren't then available but, said the report, "An analysis of available data on Army wounded shows that recoveries are comparable to naval and marine percentages." All this presentation has served to build up the legend that in this war, "the wounded don't die." It may be true as far as it goes, but is it the whole story? What are the facts of battle casualties- the proportion of dead to wounded, the prevalence of N. P.

or neuro- psychiatric "shell shock" breakdowns, the. nature of the inflictions with which the 97 percent of the wounded who are saved must carry with them through life? BURIED CASUALTY REPORT OWI 'S report on 105,000 war casualties as of Sept. 18 was boiled down to 20 lines or fewer and in most papers it was buried inside under a small headline. Should it have been first-paged and played up? A week before, the first picture of American dead on the field of battle was released for general publication, to be followed later by another. The two pictures were released by Navy and Army at the suggestion or insistence of OWI.

But the real original impetus for the release of these pictures came not from the war information specialists but from the people concerned with the conduct of the Third War Loan drive. Why them? It was their contention that the complacent American people needed to be shocked into a realization of the actualities of the war to make them buy more bonds. The Office of War Information is determined it is going to get out and tell the full story of this war as it really is, now, putting out the bad news along with the good. Can you take it? Or do you think you should be spared gorier details? There you have the crux of the whole issue. Says Washington Seething With Gossip Over Naming Marshall To Top Command THOUGHTS And.

yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent 8:16. On you, my lord, with anxious fear I wait, And from your judgment must expect my Third War Loan The third War Loaii is progressing well. From all over the country come encouraging reports on the response both of individuals and of institutions. An excellent start has been made. But that is not enough.

Until the loan goes over the top, nationally, with a substantial there will be no excuse for lagging. I In this loan both the opportunity and the incentive are obvious to the most I It is impossible for any person to say that he did not know, or that he forgot, or that he had no chance to buy. Newspapers, magazines and the air waves are filled with reminders, some donated by the media them- i selves, others sponsored by advertisers who know how much the success of this loan means to our way of life, i And even if a canvasser does not visit one's house, it is difficult to stick one's head outside the door without finding a War Bond waved under his nose, seeking a buyer. i Perhaps the difficulties encountered by our Fifth Army, at Salerno, will be worth while because they must have impressed even the most naively optimistic with the fact that Germany is not yet licked. And after Germany there still remains Japan.

We know, now, that Germany can be beaten. We know, in a general way, how. We do not know when, except that it will not be tomorrow, or next week or next month. The desperation with which the Nazis withstood our Salerno bridgehead until they could evacuate their troops from southern Italy proves that there is a lot of fight left in the huns yet. It is going to take thousands of American lives to whip them as they have to be whipped.

It is going to take a lot more guns, tanks, planes, munitions and other supplies and equipment. Those things cost of dollars than we can possibly supply out of current taxation. The Third War Loan is the answer, for the time being, until more is needed, i This isn't new. You're been told before, and you knew before you were told This is just a plea for you to act on what you do the smallest thing that a itay-at-home can do in time of back with your dollars the attack in which so many are giving their lives. General Montgomery told his 8th Army troops, "Let's K.

Italy." And the troops simply turned the two letters around. Smart Italians will join the Allies- their bread has been battered on. -those who know which side British-American Alliance The idea of a post-war alliance between Great Britain and the United States, put forth by several prominent per sons from both sides of the Atlantic, is receiving much favorable attention as well as some bitter opposition. The latter appears to be based, up to now, on an idea that the United States would give everything and get little or nothing in return. Whatever objections to such an alliance may arise, that one is not sound.

We need abate no slightest bit of our pride in our own great country to recognize that the British Empire also is great, and rich, and powerful. By now it must be clear that neither country can stand by and see the other destroyed. Why not recognize that in advance of war, by a protective alliance, instead of waiting until almost too late or perhaps, next time, quite too late? By RAYMOND CLAPPER I WASHINGTON, Sept. town is seething with gossip over the possible assignment of Gen. George C.

Marshall to take command of operations for the knockout blow against Germany. General Marshall is chief of staff now. He is an outstanding soldier who has won the confidence of Congress and of the country. He has directed the enormous expansion and rajpid building of our Army. Further more he is the dominating mil itary figure in the Anglo-Ameri can combined chiefs of staff.

He has participated in all of the big Roosevelt-Churchill military con ferences beginning with the Atlantic meeting in the summer of 1941. Serious consideration is be- ins given now to placing General Marshall in command of the European theater. It is not finally decided. But it looks as if the change will be made. Many in Washington are saying this is a scheme to kick General Marshall upstairs.

The most current version of the gossip is that he has been at odds with the British, that he had sharp controversy with Churchill at Quebec and tat the British are forcing Roosevelt to get iid of him. It is to be done by dress ing up the assignment to the European theater as a chance for Marshall to be the Pershing of this war. Gossip embroiders the story in many ways and it is said that General Marshall feels he is being taken out of the game and is eating his heart out. That is the way the g03sip runs and everybody is dressing up his own version of it. For once gossip here does not run down a and indeed the achievements of General Marshall are being paid the highest compliment by all in the course of the gossip.

First of all, to believe that General Marshall is being kioked upstairs, you must assume that there is to be no knockout blow against Germany. If the Allies are going to drive through to Berlin and crush Germany completely, then about the most im portant assignment in the war is about Quebec laid the detailed plans and time schedule for the destruction of Germany. it remains to find the best man to carry them out. On that basis not many would fail to select General Marshall. Those who oppose the move question whether Germany is to be defeated that way.

They say it will be largely an air war plus a drive up from the Balkans, and that it is wasting General Marshall 's time to put him in England when he ought to be running the whole war from here. Who can know what the best decision is in such a matter as this, except one who knows the secret plans of the war? So it is a matter about which curbstone judgment is not worth much And it is rather delicate stuff to be tossed around recklessly on the floor of Congress. One can accept it as roughly correct that, in general, Prime Minister Churchill has favored hitting Germany from the soft underbelly while 1 our military men have favored going through France. What they agreed on at Quebec must De for Hitler to find out when the blow or blows fall. There is the story around here that not only General Marshall is all cut up about the proposed move, but that some of hisasso ciates on the joint chiefs of staff such as Admiral King and Gene: al Arnold also are cut up about it.

They feel he should stay on the team here. Their opposition is explained on the ground that nat urally they do not wish to break up the American team which has worked so well. The answer made is that the move would be justified only because the big action job of the war called for the best military man, the one with most prestige and in whom everyone reposed complete confidence i I can't believe Roosevelt would take such a successful chief of statr off the job and give him a phony assignment in Europe. It doesn 't make sense to me. I have a great deal of respect for the way the war has been conducted up to now.

It is difficult to believe that a colossal blunder is beinj made about such a valuable man as General Marshall. One must take a matter like this largely on faith. Certainly if the European as signment isn't the.re.il thing then it would be an inexcusable waste of talent to take General Marshall out of his important place here U.S. CONSUMPTION OF DAIRY PRODUCTS POUNDS PER CAPITA BUTTER CHEESE 1932 1933 1934 193S 1936 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 ICE CREAM National Whirligig News Behind The Nuws- YOUR HEALTH By DR.

FLYING FIGHTING MAN PAIN RELIEF DURING CHILDBIRTH For many years doctors have been trying to find a safe method for relieving the pains of childbirth.

Just recently a method of injecting a local anesthetic into the spinal canal has been used, which promises good results both in relieving pain and in not endangering the life of the baby. It is true that efforts should be made to relieve the pains of child birth, but a completely painless birth should not be expected. The drugs, such as the "sedative drugs, including morphine and the bar biturates, which have been used for this purpose, if employed in the wrong way, in too large doses or at the wrong time, may cause the baby to be born asphyxiated, that is, not breathing, and if the baby does not breathe for even a few moments it may cause the death of some of the nerve tissues. If the condition is not immediately fatal for the baby, it may do a great deal of damage to the baby's nervous system. According to Doctor Hughes Kennedy, of Alabama, it is ad visable to have the patient go through part of the chdldbirth process without receiving any drugs to relieve the pain.

If this is done, usually one dose of the pain-relieving medicine, given at the proper time, may carry the patient through the remaining period of labor. The physician, in choosing the drug to use, knows that the baby's welfare cannot be ignored. The mother is given as much of the drug as is possible without damaging the infant Babies born before the normal time are particularly susceptible to sedative drugs. When a prema ture birth is expected, it may be well to avoid the use of any sedative, if this is at all possible It is particularly dangerous to use morphine or similar drugs within four hours of the expected time of the baby's birth. One of the mixtures often used to produce pain relief to put the mother to sleep is nitrous oxide and oxygen.

Doctor Kennedy be lieves that this type is definitely dangerous to the baby, especially if it is used for a period longer than five minutes. Other drugs U.

Imagine Intolerant Protests Caucasians in and around Northampton, are pro testing the temporary appointment of Dr. Schuichi Kusaka, American and Canadian educated Japanese physicist, to the faculty of Smith College as a lecturer. Such protests do not speak well for the tolerance and democracy of the protestants. There is no allegation against Dr. Kusaka except his national origin.

He has been investigated and is vouched for by both the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the FBI. So far as appears, he is a scholar of attainment and repute. Why should the college, deprived by the military services and by war work of its regular research and teaching staff memb-not use such a man? There are many, many bad. Japs. There are some good Japs.

For the sake of our own souls, if for no other reason, we must not become ignorantly intolerant merely because we are at war.

Campton, who vvas appointed by Superintendent of Schools Edmund, the latter part of August to become supervisor of music in the public schools follow ing the resignation- of Miss Charlotte Field, has resigned the position here having received an crease in salary to remain in Mari-; on as instructor of music in the'; schools there. Miss Mary music supervisor of Columbus, has; been appointed to fill the vacancy and will begin her duties here Monday morning.

I After nearly three months of uncertainty in the coal industry, caused by strikes and stoppages, August saw most of the miners back at work. Present production, back up to March levels, indicates that a fuel shortage may be averted if production is not interrupted later in the year. BY RAY TUCKER Military chieftains, hungry for oil to feed their planes, tanks.and ships, cannot understand administration officials' delay in framing a program that will induce greater exploration and production. Requirements for every major operation have been filled so far. Their concern is the maintenance of a continuous flow as the theater of activity expands and becomes more intense.

The prolonged debate furnishes one of the most serious and spec tacular examples of the blunders on the domestic front so viciously assailed by the folks back home and returning Congressmen. Harold L. Ickes proposed a 35 cent a barrel increase for the op erators on April 7 in a letter to Administrator Prentiss M. Brown That was turned down on May 1. The Secretary of the Interior's second plea was dated June 10 Not until August 7 did the Michigan man forward another rejec tion slip to the cabinet member.

This memo was not made public because James F. Byrnes thought the intramural discussion was as suming the shape of controversy banned by the President. The problem was handed to Economic Stabilizer Fred -M. Vinson for final decision and he is embarking on still another study of the matter. Army, Interior, Price Adminis tration, the industry all are agreed that boosting petroleum reserves through sinking new wells and probing capacity is an acute need.

Everyone recognizes that start must be made immediately in the event the conflict should last several years, especially the Jap anese phase. The differences are only in the mechanism to be em ployed. Mr. Ickes favors a direct upping of prospective profits while Mr. Brown holds out for a subsidy as more economical.

Since the extra cost involved would amount to only a few hun dred even that fig ure is in men in charge of winning the war are yelling for action. In desperation, they have been forced to open up holes in Canada. WILDCATTERS Some experienced Washingtonians suspect that a mite of partisanship, as well as economics, lies behind the Ickes-Brown disagreement. New Dealers cite huge profits of. the enormous old-line corpora-, tions as an argument against a price increase.

But the secretary, who has never been accused of being a pal to big interests, replies that the higher return through his scheme can be recouped by the excess profit tax. F. D. politically-minded aides concede that some induce-, ment must be given, but they are afraid the cabinet member's plait would affront millions of; voters, by shoving up gasoline bills. The' Brown financing cost would be hidden.

Ickes' figures show that the boost per gallon would be less than one cent. Interior files do reflect one dangerous trend. The number of imaginative and daring individuals largely responsible for discovering new oil fields is dropping. Harold had estimated that diggings must total at least 4,500 in 1943 to maintain an adequate future supply. For lack of financial opportunities the figure is currently running to only 3,100 and the men are not tapping so large a volume of the precious battle product as had been anticipated.

generally unknown fact is that the Maple Leaf quota of fighting troops, is larger than our own, proportionately. The Dominion sent about three hundred thousand to the various fronts out of a population of less than twelve million. Only-volunteers can be shipped into the danger zones. Even this exposition does not present the true picture. The French-Canadian Province of Que-, bee has not provided its share of the contingent abroad, and that area has almost three million residents, leaving the other eight million to furnish the recruits.

On the same percentage basis the United States would have around four and one-half million men on the battlefields now. BOWLING GREEN, Sept. 22 (JP) P. Trumbull, who marched to the sea with General Sherman in the Civil War and was a personal friend of Inventor Thomas Edison, is dead. He was 97 and Wood-co's last Civil War veteran.

FUNNY BUSFf "SS such as scopolamine and ether given in moderate amounts by one trained in their use as a rule will give the mother satisfactory relief from the pain without endangering the baby to a great degree. However, even in such instance the baby may be born sleepy and breathe irregularly. In such cases, the physician is prepared to use the proper mpthods to revive the infant, such as giving oxygen or mixtures of carbon dioxide and oxygen which seems to have a greater effect in stimulating breathing. It is also pointed out that the baby's cord should not be clamped or tied off until the baby is breathing well. In either event the blood in the cord should be squeezed into the baby's body from the cord before it is cut This may be especially important when the baby is asphyxiated.

Attention to these matters may, result in saving many babies' lives Approximately 700,000 workers are directly employed in American shipyards.
