WRITERS ON STRIKE
RESIGNATIONS IN PROTEST FROM AMERICAN OFFICE OF WAR INFORMATION. “NOT ALLOWED TO TELL TRUTH” (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, April 15. Because they complain that they are not allowed to tell the truth, fourteen prominent writers have resigned from the Office of War Information. They reaffirm their faith in the integrity of the Director of the Office, Mr Elmer Davis, but add: “The Department is now dominated by highpressure promoters, who prefer slick salesmanship to honest information. They , have turned the Office of War Information into an office of war ballyhoo.”' The signatories to this statement include Henry Pringle, a Pulitzer Prize winner, Philip Hamburger, author of “Tale of a City,” and Eleanor Darnton, widow of the “New York Times” correspondent, Byron Darnton, who was killed in an air crash in New Guinea.
