Noncensorship of
UNRRA Activities
LaGuardia Demand
WASHINGTON, —<>P)— A pulled
punch at foreign news censorship
went to the Senate last week
along with word that UNRRA Dir
ector LaGuardia has demanded
that the Chinese government ov
erhaul its relief setup.
The relaxed censorship provi
sion, aimed at Russia, was con
tained in a $2,700,000 money bill
approved by the Senate appro
priations committee. Disclosure
fo LaGuardia's action came in
printed testimony of committee
hearings on the measure, which
contains $465,000,000 for LaGuar
dia’s UNRRA.
The testimony disclosed that
both F. H. LaGuardia and Wil
liam H. Clayton, assistant Secre
tary of State, had strongly urged
| elimination of a House provision
denying UNRRA funds to any
country which refuses to permit
accredited American press rep
resentatives to “enter, observe
and report without censorship on
the distribution and utilization of
relief” in that country.
The committee decided against
striking out the amendment. But
on motion of Senator Ball <R
Minn.), it decided that none of the
UNRRA money in the bill could
be spent unless correspondents
were permitted to send reports on
UNRRA activities "without any
deletions or modifications by cen
sorship.”
Sen. Ball said this had the ef
fect of not challenging Russia’s
right to maintain censorship, but
providing for uncensored dis
patches on UNRRA’s operations.
He said he did not know if the
new version would be acceptable
to the State Department or to
LaGuardia.
LaGuardia contenden he had
stopped all but vital food ship
ments to China because supplies
had piled up in ports there due
to the breakdown in inland trans
portation. He said these supplies
were deteriorating and were being
stolen.
The UNRRA chieftain gave the
committee a copy of a telegram
he said he had sent to General
issimo Chiang Kai-Shek May 29,
calling for sweeping changes in
the methods of distributing relief
goods in that country.
Asserting that “the purpose of
this (Relief) is to help the re
habilitation of China and not the
financial rehabilitation of ware
houses,” LaGuardia told Chiang.
"I am sure you will agree that
personalities and politics cannot
be considered, as the welfare of
China concerns all of her people
and nothing in this respect can
be shaped or guided or diverted
to meet the expediency or the
specific interest of any individual
or group.”
STORK FLIES WITH

the Jolly Roger success flag but
another flag they’d never seen.
The Jolly Roger meant the

WHEAT or BREAD K
RACINE, WISC. — Enlistment of the nation’s farmers in a new
"Battle of Bread” for Europe’s starving millions has been started
here following a plan advanced m an address by Joe Tucker, vice
president of the M&ssey-Harris company. Tucker has named the or
ganization “Famine Fighters” and plans to recover 28,000,000 bushels
of grain, enough to provide a minimum UNRRA bread ration for every
person in the United States for five weeks, through the use of self
pro pe1 led combines to open grain fields for harvest.
It is estimated that over 50 per cent of the first swath is lost
through ppening of fields with other types of equipment. Use of the
nation’s approximately 8,000 self-propelled combines would yield 28
million additional bushels of grain worth more than $30,000,000. Im
plement dealers throughout the country have joined the drive, urging
farmers to prevent waste of gram by calling on self-propelled combine
owners to open their fields.
Farm groups have already commended the move against trampling
of grain into the ground and have pledged support ho this new plow
of conserving grain in the fight against famine.

While on patrol, the United’s
commanding officer Lieut. J. C. Y.
Roxburgh had received word of
the safe arrival of a daughter.
After the United picked up en
emy survivors including the com
manding officer, the latter's first
request to Roxburgh was that his
wife be notified of his safety.
His reported loss might affect
her condition, he explained, add
ing: “You see, we are expecting
an addition to the family.”
