Army Orders Political Neutrality for Army Press and Radio
The War Department issues strict neutrality guidance to all commanders in the United States and overseas. It enforces the Hatch Act amendment restricting federal funds or sponsorship for influencing voting in federal elections. The policy allows nonpolitical content and politically justified material under strict statutory exceptions, with prior Morale Services approval for any political rebroadcasts.

Canada’s Great Bear Lake pitchblende field supplements ore from the Belgian Congo and Czechoslovakia for radium production.
