Marshall orders aid for newsmen
Washington (UP) – (March 11)
The War Department today directed that in cases of future domestic disasters or emergencies involving military personnel, an Army Public Relations Officer shall be dispatched to the scene to “assist the legitimate activities of the representatives of news agencies who are present.”
The order, signed by Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, said the public is entitled to all news which does not adversely affect the war effort and that activities by newsmen toward that end “are to be respected by military personnel.”
The action apparently resulted from complaints that Army personnel had interfered with reporters at the scene of some accidents.

Governor Bricker cites need for jobs
Boston, Massachusetts (UP) –
Close cooperation between industry, labor and government will be needed to solve the problem of post-war employment, Ohio Governor John W. Bricker said last night.
Speaking at the Boston University Institute of Post-War Problems, he said government and business must make certain that there are 10 million more jobs available after the war than there were in 1940.
Governor Bricker said:
However, no honest person will say that government alone will solve this problem.
To reach the 10 million extra job goal, he said, the federal government must establish a dynamic economy, eliminate bureaucracy and develop a constructive post-war tax program.
