Checking there, she learned that the story was false. Such sadistic messages could be the work of cranks, but experts in such matters believe there are too many for that. They could stem from a few axis propagandists, but to spread their vicious falsehoods so widely these would have to use long distance calls, which probably could be traced.

Bruce MacNamee, one of the most amazing persons whose name ever has occupied a line on the roster of federal employes. MacNamee had an idea in 1940 and sold it to Uncle Sam, as a result of which he became head of the U. S. Travel Bureau, with a $100,000 budget and, at one time, 132 employes. Then came the war, and travel was out. First recommended a 90 per cent cut in his budget. Now he has suggested that his brain child and his jot be disMae-Nam- continued. Did you ever hear the like, before? why the Army production. Mr. there was such a booklet. Moreover, Major Gen. Alexander Surles, his efficient press chief, leaned over his shoulder and reinforced that denial. Undoubtedly they did not know about the booklet. Nevertheless it does exist. And it is a carefully prepared document of 23 pages, giving a minute analysis as to why the Army should run war production. And to why the Army should issue such a treatise without the knowledge of Army Press Relations, or the Secretary of War, or particularly Elmer Davis'3 Office of War Information, may require some explaining. Under a direct White House ruling, all public statements must clear through Elmer Davis. The excuse in this case may be that the Army's booklet is intended for limited circulation though it has found its way into the hands of a limited number of newspapermen. ARMY'S CHIEF TARGET Chief target of the Armys lobbying booklet is the Tol.m-PeppBill which would leorgan-iz- e and revitalize the War Pro-- d " tion Board, giving it by law powers over the Army, some of which the WPB now seeks through directives.
