I YEAR JOE: There are tinceled
^ trees, the customary harried
shoppers, wandering carolers and
the air of excitement which always
precedes Christmas day here at
home now.
We nearly had snow lor a white
Christmas this year, but It decided
to settle down to pure coldness
which late Tuesday night had the
temperature reading at five above.
Tuesday night also witnessed the
beginning of El Reno's basketball
season when the local boys, who
are inexperienced in actual basket-
ball play, managed a 9-7 victory
over the Alva highschool quintet.
Needless to sav there was a large
crowd in the gymnasium to watch
the contest.

with public Invited to attend.
WASHINGTON Dec. 18—U.Ri-
President Roosevelt today called
representatives of the nation's rail-
roads and of the five operating rail-
road brotherhoods to confer with
him at the White House Sunday In
an effort to ward off a strike sched-
uled to start Dec. 30.
The brotherhoods have planned a
progressive strike, starting with
350.000 leaving work on Dec. 30 and
attaining a complete shutdown of
railroads within four days.
Sunday's meeting will require
postponement, if not cancellation,
of a meeting which had been sched-
uled for Monday in Chicago. The
national mediation board had ar- *
tanaed to confer then with the
brotherhoods' spokesmen.
House Action Sought
The 350.000 members of the op-
erating brotherhoods have voted to
strike in protest against an award
by the economic stabilization direc-
tor. Fred M Vinson, of a 4-cents-
an-hour wage increase. They are
demanding a 83 a day boost of
their basic wages.
Meanwhile, officials of the 15 non-
operating brotherhoods—whose, case
is linked closely with that of the
operating brotherhoods — were re-
portedly maneuvering In an effort
to force prompt house action on
tlie senate-approved Truman res-
olution which would legalize the
agreement they reached last Aug-
ust with the railroads for' an 8-
cents-an-hour wage increase.
Argument Advanced
Vinson refused to approve that
agreement on grounds it would be
an out-and-out violation of the lit-
tle steel formula and would go far

On News Releases
WASHINGTON. Dec 18 —uPi—
President Roosevelt taking stern
measures to prevent leaks of im-
portant war information, today di-
rected the war and navy secre-
taries and the director of the of-
fice of war information to refuse to
issue In advance, for release to the
public at a future hour, any news
having a security value.
"The American people,” he said
in a memorandum, “want prompt-
ly all the news which can be told
safely and they are entitled td have
it. without the interposition of arti-
ficial barriers."
“You are fully aware. I know, of
the regrettable confusions which
have nilsen recently over the issu-
ance of offirtal news relating to
the war. particularly In connection
with the conferences at Cairo and
Teheran." the memorandum noted
"We may all be proud that Amer-
ican newspapers, news agencies and
broadcasters kept the faith and
observed the release dates whieli had
been fixed by international agree-
ment. It Is most disappointing that
sucli loyally should have been pen-
alized by failures elsewhere.
