Davis Praises Press Radio Correspondents
Washington, (INS)Elmer Davis, director of war information today paid tribute to the bravery and gallantry of the nation's 400 press and radio correspondents actively covering the war, asserting, that they are providing the American people at the risk of their lives with frank and complete information.
Since Pearl Harbor, more than 600 newspaper writers, radio commentators, and motion picture and still cameramen have been accredited by the military authorities to the several theaters of military operations, ashore and afloat. Of these, about 400 are actively covering the news on the war fronts at all times.
"Their service is one to whi will owe even more before we have achieved a victory based in part on the understanding they give to us," Davis said.
"The gallantry of these reporters and photographers is akin to that of our fighting men, but it is also a thing apart. For they don't fight—and they can't fight back when, as happens so often, their own lives are jeopardized."
Davis recalled that 14 correspondents "have died in performance of their duty;" that countless others have been injured, and that some interned by the Japanese were subjected to brutality, often placed on starvation rations, "cuffed, and exposed to calculated humiliations."
