Shortens War.
By CHARLES T. LUCEY _ Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—In today’s propaganda war the U. 8. A. abroad has become movie producer and exhibitor, radio impresario, news distributor, publicist and pamphleteer, combining the smartest | approach of modern advertising with an occasional slight touch of Barnum, : : It’s costing a fair penny to tell the American story in foreign lands, but on the word of the office of war
propaganda and psychological-war-fare job, it is getting results. A study of newspapers in strategic, neutral Turkey, for example, shows a recent 200 per cent increase in space given U. S. news stories. This means giving the Turkish people an accurate account’of America’s part in the war—in space that Goebbels’ Nazi propaganda machine might have had.

t, 1943, by The Indianapolis Times The Chicago Daily News, Inc. LONDON, Feb, 26.—The British scientific discovery of a new food unit unusually high in vitamin B— known as torula utilis, or popularly as food yeast—appears to give an important answer to the post-war problem of feeding Europe's famished millions. ; ? Made from sugar or molasses at a cost of about: 10 cents a pound torula utilis has a higher vitamin B content than liver or other animal proteins. 3 Sir Edward Appleton, of the de-

Serve 400 Papers in India
In India the OWI has a staff of about 30, at New Delhi, Calcutta, Karachi and Bombay. It serves 400 newspapers with an increasing volume of American news, and is on ‘as nine-station radio hookup to tell India all about this country—its educational system, living standards, and so on. Its 4000 to 5000 cabled words daily are backed up with interpretative articles and with pictures and features brought in by air. Uncle Sam also lays it on the line as an advertiser. Recently the U, S. war effort was described in quar-ter-page advertisements in 42 Indian newspapers. Indians who get to the movies are reminded, through advertising slides, of the might o

* 2000 Posters Sent
Some time ago the OWI rushed 2000 handsome posters, showing U. 8S. planes in V formation, to eastern coastal regions of India to help quiet unrest about possible Jap invasion. ‘And as a folksy radio bit, the OWI takes to the microphones a group of U. S. women who talk war and swap recipes. A couple of thousand miles north, in a mud-and-wattles hut in Chungking, an OWI staff processes a cable file of 20,000 or so words weekly, gets radiophoto pictures from the U. 8. diligently serves the China news agency. In turn, the agency supplies newspapers from the largest to crude little lithograph sheets in far Mongolia,
Chinese Want Hard Facts
Mack Fisher, ex-newsman who is OWTI'’s Chungking chief, is in Washington briefly after many years in China. He says it’s no Pollyanna picture of the U. S. that the Chinese are given—they're healthily skeptical, hard to fool, want only facts.

Anything that looks like ballyhoo is avoided. China, through OWI, gets thoughtful articles from the more solid U, S. magazines which help to answer China's great interest in things American. It gets a weekly collection of U. S. editorials, a Washington roundup, and a cabled Raymond Clapper column. In less adult OWI days, it got material telling all about Japan, but no longer; the Chinese think they know more about that than Americans,
