President Names Byron Price War Censor
Washington - (UP) Congress plans to complete work today on legislation giving President Roosevelt censorship authority and even greater war powers than those exercised by Woodrow Wilson.
Anticipating its enactment, Roosevelt announced that he would invoke a partly voluntary, partly compulsory censorship immediately after it becomes law, and appointed Byron Price, executive news editor of the Associated Press, to direct the program.
"All Americans abhor censorship just as they abhor war." the President said in a formal statement. "But the experience of this and of all other nations has demonstrated that some degree of censorship is essential in wartime, and we are at war."
He said it was necessary to national security that "military information which might be of aid to the enemy be scrupulously withheld at the source," and that "a watch be set upon our borders, so that such information may not reach the enemy, inadvertently or otherwise," by mail, radio, cable, or any other means.
It also is necessary, Roosevelt said, to enforce rigidity existing prohibitions against domestic publication of some types of information.
The government, he added, has "called upon a patriotic press and radio to abstain voluntarily" from publishing such items as ship and troop movements and has found these agencies anxious to cooperate.
The statement indicated that the compulsory feature of the censorship would deal with international communication and with domestic publication—or communication—of military information with intent to "injure the United States." The espionage act provides death as the maximum penalty for violation of the latter prohibition in wartime.
The Museum of Middle American Research of Tulane University has the world's finest collection of Maya artifacts.
The voluntary part of the censorship program would apply to domestic dissemination of other types of news.

mas holidays. Professor Buehler
urges students to cooperate in this
drive and to save donations which
might be placed elsewhere, for the
Hill drive.
The faculty drive is already under way with the first two mail deliveries contributing $125 toward the faculty quota of $800. The Douglas County drive for $7,000 will be undertaken between Christmas and New Year's.
During World War I five times as much money was contributed by the University, Professor Buhler pointed out. "The Red Cross is not asking anyone to carry a gun, but to help relieve suffering."
Ku Ku's Plan O.U. BB Rally
Tentative plans for the first rally of the 1941-42 basketball season were announced last night by Roy Edwards, head cheerleader and president of the Ku Ku's. An all-student pep convocation will be held in Hoch auditorium from 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6, preceding the Oklahoma game here that night.
The Oklahoma game bears above average importance, for it was the Sooners who defeated the Jayhawker five here last year to break the Kansas streak of 29 straight home victories. The Sooners also defeated the Jayhawkers in their game at Norman last year.
