REPORTERS CASUALTIES
Jack Singer
Missing in Pacific
CHICAGO,
Ill.—The International News Service announced today that newspaperman Jack
Singer has failed to return from a task force sortie in the Pacific Theater of
Operations (PTO). On hearing the news, Secretary of Navy Frank Knox, who is the
publisher of the Chicago Daily News, reflected, “The long chances war
correspondents take…fills me with a great sense of pride. Their work is very
admirable and creditable to the profession.” Singer is the third casualty in
the ranks of newspapermen in the past few days. Last week, Pulitzer
prize–winning correspondent Larry Allen failed to return from a raid on Tobruk in
North Africa, and Joe James Custer was seriously wounded in action with the
Pacific fleet in the Solomon Islands.
