Placek backs down on coercive bond sales plan in Saunders County
Emil Placek, Saunders county war finance committee chairman, retreated from a plan to have draft and ration boards list bond buyers as a coercive measure. A Treasury spokesman said such methods would not be supported and warned Placek to drop the plan. Nebraska officials noted no authority for linking bond purchases to draft classifications and urged voluntary participation.

OWI chief notes delay in releasing Japanese camp atrocity report
Washington director Elmer Davis said the Office of War Information wanted to reveal Japanese prison camp atrocities before the army and navy but held back to avoid jeopardizing civilian internee exchanges. He said OWI lacks confirmation of mass executions of about 50 000 Philippine prisoners and that OWI figures differed from the 5 200 army toll due to using only enemy-reported deaths. Davis insisted the timing around the fourth war loan drive was coincidental.
