Mr. MacLeish, at a press confer- ence yesterday, in the library annex, outlined the work the office will per- form. While from time to time the Office of Facts and Figures will issue reports to the public—the first, a re- port to the Nation on the progress of the war effort up to date, will be plained that the individual depart- ment will make-their own statements down broad policies to be followed by these agencies in the issuance of in- formation. The effort of the Office of Facts and Figures, its head said, would be to have presented to the people “production communiques,” giving information about the progress of national security.” Some of these communiques would come from his own coffice—but they would be rare Cabinet Members a Problem. The executive order setting up the Office of Facts and Figures, gives the office wide powers. Ad- mittedly, however, as Mr. MacLeish pointed out, members of the Presi- dent’s cabinet must speak freely. No one can or would censor them. Nevertheless, it was essential, he said, that statements of the Gov- ernment be coherent and stand | together. | The statements recently made by Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones | regarding rubber, which have been sharply criticised for overoptimism by members of Congress, were called to Mr. MacLeish’s attention by a | reporter. Mr. MacLeish, without commenting upon the statements, said that he hoped to be able to g0 to Mr. Jones, and that “it is extremely difficult to deal with the utterances of cabinet officers.” At the suggestion of some of his interviewers Mr. MacLeish said that he believed it would be valuable to have a committee of the working press meet with his organization. as an advisory body. Steps to carry out such a plan will be undertaken, it was said later. Plans No Censorship. Mr. MacLeish described the efforts of the Government to inform the American people and to bolster their morale as a “strategy of truth” in | contrast to the Axis governments’| | “strategy of terror.” He said that | his office would seek to bring about the publication of facts “giving aid and comfort to our own people.” | His was not, he said. an office of censorship. That duty would be left to the Office of Censorship. headed by Byron Price, whose effort was to prevent the publication of in- formation giving aid and comfort to the enemy. So far as statements issued by the Government officials are concerned. he said. the Office of Censorship would keep hands off Describing the setup of the Office of Facts and Figures, Mr. MacLeish said that it now has a stafl of 84, orgenized into four bureaus. They are the Bureau of Intelligence, the | Bureau of Production, the Bureau | Liaison. | The setup is as follows: | Professional and Administrative.
