OWI Employees Resign; Frown On 'Bally-Hoo'
Washington, (INS)—Fifteen former employees of the Office of War Information, in a formal statement, said yesterday that their resignations were prompted because OWI was being turned into "an office of war bally-hoo."
The group added that they had never doubted the personal integrity of OWI directer Elmer Davis but added:
Resignees Deplore Promoters
"As we see it, the activities of OWI on the home front are now dominated by high pressure promoters who prefer slick salesmanship to honest information.
"There is only one issue—the deep and fundamental one of the honest presentation of war information. We are leaving because of our conviction that it is impossible for us, under those who now control our output to tell the full truth."
Davis Saves Charges Incorrect
Included in the group were Harold K. Guinzburg, president of Viking Press, and Henry F. Pringle, Pulitzer prize-winning author.
The charges of the 15 men and women were described by Davis as "completely incorrect."
"We deal in one plain commodity—the facts the people of this country need to win the war," Davis said. "All facts must be presented accurately and in proper proportion."

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
The action of the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association in passing a resolution guaranteeing to all students the right to attend University dances, not only gives all students added faith in student government, but proves to colored students that real and practical democracy can be attained if responsible agencies and authorities will uphold the power and faith placed in them.
True, the political aspect that attended the circulation of the petition which led to the Councils' action was unfortunate. But nevertheless the phenomenal fact that should be kept in mind is that the thing which it is said couldn't be done, has been done. The University, through student government, by giving to the Negro student, this new status as an individual, is at last assuming its logical role as a leader for democracy in the state.
If student government can do so much, what seemingly insurmountable barriers to racial equality could not be eliminated if the University officials would whole-heartedly get behind the movement. The students have shown beyond a doubt that they are for participation of colored students in all University activities. I call upon the administration to carry out the will of the students by entering Roger Whitworth in the track meet with Baker University, April 21.
Lucky' Books Survive Two Bombings; Reach Library Safely

Compilation of the county histories was started in 1901 by the institute of historical research of the University of London. They are expected to prove valuable to American students of British history, Librarian Donald Coney said.

Chopin, Lecuona Featured in Fultz Senior Piano Recital
Playing numbers ranging from the grave "Prelude and Fugue In B Flat Minor" to Lecuona's Cuban gift to Tin Pan Alley, "Malagueno," Margaret Fultz presented her senior recital Wednesday night in Frazer theater.
Miss Fultz opened the program with Bach's "Prelude and Fugue In B Flat Minor." Then she played Cadman's "Sonata In A Major."
Crisp passage work was displayed in Chopin's "Etude In F. Op. 10, No. 8." and colorful touches were given to Griffes' "Lake At Evening" by Miss Fultz.
Two numbers by the Spanish composer, Turina, "Jeux" and "?" made a vivid impression on the audience. These numbers were followed by Ernesto Lecuona's "Mala-guena."
Miss Fultz closed the recital by playing the first movement of Paderewski's "Concerto In A Minor." Miss Rush Orcutt played the second piano part in the number.
