Stimson Defends Delay in Reporting Plane Losses
Secretary of War Stimson said the nine month delay in announcing the loss of a second group of American planes near Sicily was understandable due to unpredictable wartime factors. Elmer Davis of the OWI backed the belief the War Department did not suppress news of the Catania and Gela incidents as both operations were under British command. He cited multiple contributing factors from enemy action to night operations and warned against revealing methods. Rotenone destroys insects with out impairing the edibility of green vegetables or fresh fruits.
