Stimson Says Move will Be Made to Eliminate Conflicting Stories.

: WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (U. P.). —Secretary of War Henry L. Stim-son-today announced a reorganization. of the ‘war: department’s various public relations organiza~tions -as a step to eliminate issuance of conflicting statements, ‘Stimson said the realignment had been decided upon before release by the first air force in New York last week-end of pictures of alleged ground markers for enemy aircraft seeking miiltary installations. . But he said the incident of the mark-] ers—since admitted to have had no connection with enemy plans—made him “happy we had taken this step.” : He declined to go into the details of the air marker incident, which 'is being investigated by Lieut. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, commanding ‘general of the eastern defense command, However, he said he “expressed to Gen. Drum personally my idea of the importance of that investigation and my expectation it would be thorough.” “Out-and-Out Hoax” He added that if the incident had been truly represented by newspapers—which termed it an out-and-out hoax—he felt drastic. action should be taken. Stimson said it had become only too ‘evident, as the army expanded, that large subdivisions of the war department were geiting exaggerated conceptions of their public relations functions and were more or less creating .their own separate autonomous public relations organizations outside the regular bureau. “There was increasing confusion due to the increasing number of officers dealing with the public,” he said. :

The British reportedly permit him to receive an English daily journal so he can keep informed on world events, and his routine has not greatly changed except that his movements’ are restricted. Gandhi normally rises at 4.a. m.,, and he customarily walks two miles

cises on the broad veranda where he also sleeps, pacing it as though it were the deck of a ship. : In the early hours he reportedly prays, sings hymns such as the Tulsibas and the Ramayana, the latter a Sanskrit epic. Afternoons he frequently réads the Mohammedan Koran, trying to understand the Islamic philosophy with which his Hindu views have so often clashed. > Back Just in Time
