* Byron Price to Direct Pro-

gram Under Drastic: New Law.

~~ fan

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (U. PD. plans to te work today on legislation giving President Roosevelt censorship authority and

even greater war powers than those/

exercised by Woodrow Wilson. Anticipating its enactment, Mr.

after it becomes law and appointed Hoosier-born Byron Price, executive news editor of the Associated Press, to direct the program.

“All Americans abhor censorship just ag they abhor war,” the President said. “But the experience of this and of all other nations has demonstrated that some degree of censorship is essential in wartime, and we are at war.” He said it was necessary to national security that “military information which might be of aid to the enemy be scrupulously withheld at the source,” and that “a watch be set upon our borders, so that such information may not reach the enemy, inadvertently or otherwise,” by mall, radio, cable, or any other means.

Expect Passage Today

It also is necessary, Mr. Roosevelt said, to enforce rigidly existing prohibitions against domestic publication of some types of information. The Government, he added, has “called upon a patriotic press and radio to abstain voluntarily” from publishing such items as ship and troop movements and has found these agencies anxious to co-oper-ate. Both Senate and House gave unanimous approval yesterday of the legislation containing the international censorship power. There was no record vote and the two bills differed slightly, Chairman Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) of the Senate Judiciary Committee antici pated agreement in conference and final approval before Congress adjourns today.

SOLDIERS TO HEAR SYMPHONY SOLOIST

When Hertha Glaz, Viennese contralto who is to appear Friday and Saturday with the Indianapolis Symphon Orchestra, surprised the officials of the Army, Navy and Marine Service Club with an offer to sing for the boys, they came right back and surprised her. Miss Glaz asked for a pianist, and someone called Ft. Harrison and secured the services of Raphael Valerio, a well-kno¥n Chicago pianist, who is a private at the Fort. So tonight at 8:15, the boys in the Service Club are to hear Miss Glaz sing “Loch Lomond”; “The Hopak,” by Moussorgsky; ‘My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” from the opera, “Samson and Delilah” and “Cavilitos,” a Mexican folk song. This is the second time Miss Glaz will sing for Indianapolis Symphony patrons. She was heard last year in “Carmen.” Although not long from her native Austria, she has her first citiz2nship papers,

WORKER LOSES ARM Thomas Van Cleave, 1633% S. Meridian St, was talking to a fellow employee at the Balke & Krauss Co. this morning. Somehow his hand slipped into a moulder machine and its revolving knife cut off his right arm just below the elbow. His condition was reported serious at Methodist Hospital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (U. P). —Creation of an inter-allied supreme council to co-ordinate war

efforts was believed a certainty today following President Roosevelt's revelation that talks along that line have been proceeding for some time. Speculation centered immediately on the possibility of a tfip to this country by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to get the Council going. Reports from London have emphasized that such matters of high policy could only be properly discussed by “statesmen of the most responsible type.” But it was believed that some other high cabinet officer might act as the permanent British representative on the council since the heads of states could not be in constant attendance.

Proposal Meets Favor Administration leaders in Congress were generally of the opinion that some such body should be created. Diplomatic sources said a permanent council to meet in the United States might be expected as a logical step since this war calls for joint action in the Pacific as well as the Atlantic. The Pacific was almost wholly undisturbed in the first World War. Now Washington is not only the most peaceful and most accessible capital, but the most central, The council, if created, probably will include all the powers against

‘Allied Solidarity’

Is Aim of Britain

LONDON, Dec. 17 (U.P) Lord Privy Seal Clement R. Attlee told Commons today that steps were being taken to insure allied solidarity, but gave no indication that Great Britain, Russia and the United States would create an Allied war council. “All steps are being taken to insure utmost co-operation in the fields of strategy and supply,” he said. He said an “immediate decision” must concern the Pacific battle area, “but there are indications that negotiations also will cover the Atlantic and Mediterranean.”

Penang was definitely in danger, though strongly defended, and the menace to Singapore from this northern side increased daily. Imperial forces were fighting stubbornly, however, against superior numbers and it was reported that the Japanese were suffering heaviest casualties. Dispatches said that coast artile lery, field guns and machine guns lined the Penang Island shores ready to a direct attack, The Japanese had fought their way along the flat Kedah coastal plain, a rice producing country through Which runs the main road in almost a straight line through the fields, between swamps in which natives drive their water buffalo. The fields are criss-crossed by canals and small streams.

which had repelled a bus-riding Japanese force attempting a drive southward. The Japanese, in bBusses—possibly landed from transports attacked the Filipino division near the north~ ern provincial border, the correspondent said.

The Filipinos met them with a rain of artillery fire and, after a short skirmish, starting at 5:30 p. m, yesterday, the Japanese fled. Bxpecting the Japanese to reorganize for a new and stronger attack, the correspondent said, the Filipinos mobilized all available men and armed them with rifles.

Filipinos Bag Planes

A witness who reached Manila told the Manila Bulletin that he saw a handful of brave Filipino infantrymen shoot down three lowflying Japanese planes with their rifles at a northern air field, The enemy planes, at roof-scrap-ing altitude, machine gunned the infantrymen’s barracks, the witness said. The Filipinos replied with the only weapons they had, tMeir rifles. One Japanese avalator balled out at once, the witness said, and wes ghot to death as he parachuted. An officer shouted an order for the Filipinos to lie flat on the ground. But when the remaining two planes came back, the witness sald, the Filipinos knelt, poured a volley into the Japanese planes and shot down both of them
