Donovan Shoots Taith Barrage at Nazis
To Offset German Propaganda in United States
BY l'ETER EDSON
NBA Service Washington Correspondent
VV'ASIIINOTON How lo have a propaganda ministry that will out-
** gobble Gocbbels w ithout having a propaganda ministry and with-
out having a Oocbbcls is the paradoxical job that has now shaken down
for fol. William J. Donovan, whose ollice as Co-ot'dinalor el' Informa-
tion is known in Washington as COT.
The nickname should be COY. Cor of all the
defense agencies in Washington. CO I alone is pub-
licity shy. It has no public relations ollicer to give
statements t.> the press, other, than Donovan him- Mi:
sell, who ^ harder to see than Greta Oarbo oil Crane
the screen, and who wants to be alone just about home
as bad. Donovan has just moved his hcadquartci j jan.
into the old Naval Hospital buildings, a couple ot'4 [
-pits from the Potomac river, way nut by the Lin-
coln Memorial. It's a good hideout His re-eaich
stall under Dr. James Phinney Baxter III. presi- j trip to Lubbock,
dent of Williams College, and Dr. Ernest Statey j
Griflith. chief of the' famed Congressional Legisla-
tive Reference Service, will be quartered way at
the other end of Washington in the Library of Con-
gress, where "Silence" is the motto, and a man
Can be let alone.
All this bu.-h-hush cmbari tisse.s Donovan and hi.- staff of unknown
size, made up of the daindest array of college professors, poets, play-
wright.-. foreign correspondents, newspapermen, broadcasters and
their ilk. All of them are con- cioa- ol the fact that thi is a .democ-
racy and that the people sire entitled to know what goes on. Most
of them, before they got into the government, devoted their private
lives to trying to tell the people what went on. Thev are still dealing
with pttbiishable material—propaganda, in a sense but they don't
want anybody to know that it's propaganda they're di hiijg out, and
that's why all the mysteiy and secrecy.
AS a matter of fact, their output isn't exactly propaganda. That
word has been pretty badly abused and has become .synonymous
with baloney. Donovan wants it understood that he is not dealing
in baloney. The only Way to beat a barrage of verbal baloney i- with
a crossfire of truth, laid down before the enemy can .start its barrage
to rolling. And there "Wild Bill" Donovan of the "Feiliting liHtli"
believes is where the C'OI job conies in to lay down a counter-
propaganda of truth and facts that will make the German baloney
type of propaganda look as silly as it is.
Outside pres.-ure on Washington to open a full-fledged Ministry
of Propaganda has been tremendous. Donovan feels that tub pro-
cedure would not be the way the American democracy should pro-
ceed. For this reason, C'Oj has been organized as a kind of brain
trust operation planfting the counter-propaganda, but letting estab-
lished agencies of the government, privately-owned radio stations and
the privately-otvncd, independent, free and uncensotvd press be the
irsuing media. The aflirmative end of CO I functions through its For-
eign Information Service, bended by Playwright Hubert Sherwood in
New York, and Nelson Poynter in Washington.
In spite of till the secrecy surrounding operations of the Donovan
office, certain developments of recent days reveal how effective
counter-propaganda can be. There was the incident of the new
German map for rcdividing South America according to Nazi notions.
President Roosevelt mentioned it in a speech and it set the Germans
to howling abusive denials.
Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long made a speech di-
rected at Italy, in which he said Italian troops sent to aid Germany
were but hostages to keep the Italians at home in servitude lo the
Nazi.*. That one caught both the Germans and Italians otT guard.

Survey Gives Soldier's "Rules''
For Good Morale In A rmy Camps
HERE are the \tiicrtcaii soldier's

good as anyone else."
4. First class training and stralglii

These "rules" are based on find

His report appeared In Survey

"The building of army camp
morale calls lor positive action
now," Stevens declares. "You have
to provide the condiliotis Unit make
for good morale - then you will get
it So mere wards cooked up in
Washington are coins to be ..flee
the unless the fundamental re
ipiiremetils for good morale are
present."
There are two sets ot factors
bearing on morale. S'.evens Dads:
I—camp and training; 2—recrea«
Clonal. A number ol ililnss enlpr
into the latter "and one of them Is
Aituply the relative sixes of the
camp ami the nearest town."
"Most mea want lo net away
from any planned recreation,"
Slovens says, "and anything with
a welfare or social work tint is
unpopular. The only croup of peo-
ple who have furnished the army

"jVKW YORK.- Free substitution has been ■ (> succi. ful that those
who used In harp <uf the subjeel completely owiiiHik the fact
that the game has been taken away from the hoys to a greater,
extent than ever.
Gus Dora is of Detroit is one of the mighty few to raise his
voice in objecting, and then only to suggest that the provision
permitting a substitute to tall; before a play lias been run bo re-
scinded.
The man who threw passes to Knuto Rockne would have sig-
nal-callers use their own noggins in the dutches as they did in
days of old when footballers were bold,
Llut in reality the boys are kept -<> busy running in and out
they haven't time to think. The signal-caller seldom knows
who's in and who's out. lie has one team in, one e.oing and one)
coming. j
TJKFORF reservists could pop off as freely as they could be sub-'
stituted, coaches sent in as many as a half dozen quarterbacks1
to put into execution plays that popped into the master mind ml
tight situations.
Now they develop special messengers. Second siring quarter-
backs soon may be given letters on their ability as carrier pigeons.'
Notre Dame players already are culling Bob Hargrove "Paul'
Revere." Against the two-ocean Navy, Hargrove galloped out on
the Held to warn the Irish that a screen pass to Steve Jtizwik on
the line of scrimmage was coming.
South Bend linemen permitted the Annapolis forwards lo seep
through. Then, with big Navy lineman upon him, Angeio Bertclii
flipped a little pass directly over their heads, and Juzvvik boomed
17 yards behind enough Ira flic to create a jam on a Texas plain. .
T.IARGRAVE then came out of the game and gar«tit!"Well so ho
would be in good voice the next time he was "willed on. us
Frank Leahy tried to conv ince his aides that tie was a center and
tackle in college, not a quarterback.
Margrave's next order brought out a spinner on which Dippy,
Evans raced into pay dirt to break the tie.
One thing about, being a substitute quarterback nowadays is'
that you tf t in a lot of conversation even il yoy jjon't see much
action.
Another thing about a substitute being allowed to speak a,
coach's mind as freely as lie may be inserted is that Carl Snavely
no longer can bo charged with wigwagging to the Cornell quar-
terback.
Who suggested last season that the coaches get right out there
in the open and call plays themselves?
Practically all of them are domg that right now through per-,
sonal representatives.
