The editorial decries a Supreme Court ruling extending limits on public criticism of officials, focusing on a Kilits Toledo case. It highlights Holmes and Brandeis dissents and argues the decision risks curbing press liberty and inviting court overreach.
Reflects on wartime rulings curbing clothing trimmings for men and women. Notes earlier excess in belts, boots, and display, praising new restrained trousers coats and waistcoats. Questions broader limits on wardrobe and annual purchase caps, urging public view of board guidance.
A government railroad plan urged by Director General Mc Adoo stresses war winning as the top priority in rail operations with service to the public and better sympathy toward employers and patrons. It advocates sound economies and full use of equipment while promoting public spirit and loyalty, aiming to humanize railroading and shift focus from profit alone.
Princely salaries of railroad presidents prompt drastic economies in higher paid posts and push many young railroad workers to seek fields with better pay and prospects. The shift threatens morale and efficiency across ranks as wartime need and government jobs offer limited enthusiasm.
The Tribune prints Senator John W. Weeks letter defending his past ties to Hornblower & Weeks and Milholland, arguing cost figures for pneumatic tubes differ from our report. A First Assistant Postmaster General letter follows, and the paper clarifies it did not intend to impugn Weeks.
The Providence Journal endorses Avengers as a fitting but controversial nickname for the American Expeditionary Forces. It praises the term as conveying righteous zeal and the aim to make mankind safe but notes Allied tongues may not accept it.
The Tribune bids farewell to James T Grady whose skill and work ethic will aid training future newspaper men at the Columbia School of Journalism. His departure marks a transfer from reporter to educator shaping truth and craft.
Washington June 17 In the interior of a jungle plant I found a battle plane guarded by two soldiers and watched aircraft manufacturers push for rapid production. The piece argues that timidity and indecision strangled early output, notes 4000 blueprint changes for this model, and praises a decisive aircraft boss’s push to cut red tape and accelerate orders.
German forces promised safe passage to a Norwegian ship carrying food for Sweden but captured the vessel and its cargo as a prize. They sought Papal mediation to avoid bombing Cologne on Corpus Christi. The Allies agreed not to bomb Cologne, yet Germany bombed Paris that day.
Senator John W Weeks denounces Tribune reporting on American Pneumatic Tube Service and Milholland ties. He asserts stock ownership claims were misrepresented, confirms no interest in the tube firms, and urges correction of the article’s unfair implications. J C Koons, First Assistant Postmaster General, provides department response detailing costs and plans.
Letters from readers in New York and New Jersey protest the execution of Paul Chapman, a 16 year old accused of a crime he did not commit. They urge mercy, argue he should be allowed to prove his innocence, and call on Governor Whitman to halt the death sentence. The appeals stress youth, patriotism, and fairness amid wartime tensions.
