choice Of Price
For U. S. Censor
!Is Well Made
.--.
By CHA3LES P. STEWART
(Central Press Columnist)
By title he's the government's
censor really Byron Price is more
i managing editor of the news re
xrt that Uncle Sam Broadcasts.
Censorship may be necessary in
wartime, but so's the right kind
of publicity. When the enemy's
practicing it, it is known, as propa
ganda. It is publicity, though,
when we engage in it ourselves. i
Uncle Samuel already had press
agents galore before Byron's con-
;cription from the Associated
Press' news managership, a few
days ago, to superintend govern
mental editing. Every Washing
ton department has at least one
ublicity man of its own, and so
do most emergency and other bu
reaus, Some have whole staffs of
them. It's a fact, however, that
they needed a single chief, to co
ordinate their activities, and also
to regulate them. n
That's Byron Price's new job.
A managing editor's business is
to see that his report is well, in
teresting and comprehensively pre
paredthat all the news is told
that ought to be told. There is
stuff, though, that isn't fit to print

telephone Service
Vom 1931 throueh 1939 South-
rn Bell service was brought to
peak of efficiency never before
ttained.
During these years we had full
largins of plant facilities, and
iost telephone workers were vet
fans with years of experience
ad training. These conditions
rested a situation ideal for con
intration on the betterment of
le speed and quality of our
srvices. ' ; ... , '
Now the situation is reversed,
fefense requirements, both mili
ary and industrial, as well as
nprecedented demands for indi
Idual service, have placed ex
optional burdens on our physi
u resources and manpower,
idded to this is the tremendous
lcrease in local and long dis
ince calls, which combined
ve developed service demands
ithout parallel in our history.
I Thousands of new workers
ave been employed and trained,
ad millions of dollars have been
tent to expand our facilities to
teet these heavy demands.
We hope you will agree that we
ve so far been generally 1suc
sful in meeting the demands
r telephone service, great aa
ley have been. Because of con
"lions beyond our control, such ,
t the shortage of copper and
Jier essential materials, it may
s, as time goes on, that we can-'
ot continue to meet the de
lands in certain congested areas
ith the same success. However,
e pledge you that we shall con
aue to do oar very best, with
e determination to accomplish
e impossible rather than try
g to show why the possible
Jit be done.

it that kind of copy lands on his

s properly a censor.
tough To Dig Out
The truth is that we've had a
fairly strict censorship, at the
ource, for some time. That is,
while diggers after news haven't
been forbidden to publish whatever
dope they succeeded in disinterring,
there's been plenty of it that they
haven't been able to get at. And
quite a bit of this suppressed in
formation has been of a sort that
it would have paid Uncle Sammy
to have circulated.
Very recently the navv depart
ment established a sure-enough
censorship over the cabling or ra
dioing of messages abroad.
It s easy to undertsand why
countries with which we're at war
ihouldn't be tipped off to items
that might, help them in fighting
us and the democracies we are as
sociated with. The trouble with a
naval and army officer as a censor,
though, is that he isn't apt to have
x lick of news judgment. No doubt
he can spot what's calculated to be
iseful to the Axis folk, but his ten
dency, in an honest effort to be
borough, is to kill matter that
ivould be first-class advertising for
us. '
The censorial assignment, in
hort, logically is one for an able,
jxperienced professional journalist,
vho'll do all the better if he's had,
n the side, some military expert
ence.
Byron Price fills the bill admir
bly.
He's put m 30 years as a reporter
and editors on newspapers ; and
lews associations, with the excep-
ion of a break during World War
Mo. .1, when he was a captain of
nfantry. He s personally acquaint-

ed with every newspaper old-timer
in the country. I had my own
initial contacts with him in about
1912, when we were, simultaneous
ly United Press bureau managers.
He's had a long career in Wash
ington, our national news center,
especially with the present conflict
raging. He s very popular m news
gathering circles. The boys won't
resent being censored by him when
he considers it necessary. No
scribe likes being censored, to be
sure, but, if it's unavoidable, he
prefers it by one of his own gang,
who shows some intelligence about
it. "',
Mellett Best Guess
Washington's newspaperdom has
been expecting a censorship's es
tablishment for quite awhile, but
the general guess was that Lowell
Mellett, one of the president's ad
ministrative assistants and himself
a corking good editorial crafts
man, would be chosen to manage
it. Probably he s too valuable,
where he is, to be spared. Byron
does just as well, anyway.
Colonel "Wild Bill" Donavan, co
ordinator of information for the
White House, who also was sug
gested, wouldn't have been so satis
factory to the profession, as too
exclusively military.
Calling a censorship a news dis
seminating bureau, like George
Creel's Committee of Public Infor
mation, in the last war, takes some
of the curse off it.
George knew how to be con
structive with his news, as well as
secretive.
As previously remarked
No censorship for me, if I can
help it, but, if not, it isn't neces
sarily so bad, as George Creel han
dled it, or as, I think, Byron Price
will.
