The transcripts revealed that the anticipated rough handling for Di-| rector Elmer Davis of the office of war . information failed to materfalize. Several members had been primed | to canvass, with Davis, various OWI activities which they- disliked. The OWI director, however, apparently

by discussing, in a long prepared statement, all of his agency's ac‘tivities which had been subjected to congressional criticism.

A state department official testified that OWI had an impor-, tant job in counteracting “highly editorialized” dispatches distributed in foreign countries by Reuters, British news agency. He said the Reuters dispatches reflect the Brit-| ish viewpoint and “are not be ficial to our interests.”

neCensorship Director Byron] &w Price assured that there will be| no censorship of political speeches] during the coming campaign unless! they involve military security.

Chairman William H. Davis of the war labor board viewed the strike vote provision of the SmithConnally anti-strike law as a “ter rible mistake” which has encouraged labor unrest.

This country's gross national production of goods and services reached the astounding sum of $188,000,000,000 during the calendar year 1043, according to War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson. He said that “not less than half” eof this represented war expenditures, but said he could not make his figures jibe with the treasury’s estimate ‘of $81,000,000,000 for 1943 war expenditures.

Director Dillon S. Myer of the war relocation authority believes Japanese-American evacuees from the West coast should be allowed to return to their former homes as soon as the military situation warrants. The largest cut proposed by the committee was one of $20,000,000 in the revolving fund of the war shipping administration. But this would be offset by transfers of unobligated balances of previously authorized funds and other bookkeeping entries.

At the Indiana dinner last night in the Stevens, the Rev. F. A. Pfieiderer of Indianapolis, chairman of the Vale committee, and the Rev. Roy E. Mueller of Indianapolis, co-chairman, urged Vale sponsors to a last constructive effort before the election. Dr. Vale is pastor of the Tabernacle Presbyterian church in Indianapolis. Dr. Vale expressed warm appreciation for the loyalty and affection of his friends. But even more importarit than their loyalty, he said, are “the Christian principles upon which he and they stand.
