News Industry Probe Opened

WASHINGTON (UPD — Rep. Emanuel Celler, D-NY., today opened an inquiry into the news industry with a pledge to seek ways "to protect, and if need be, expand our free market place for the exchange of news and ideas." He said new antitrust exemptions for newspapers might be one such step. Celler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and its antitrust subcommittee, called Chairman Newton N. Minow of the Federal Communications Commission as the first witness. Celler said while he believed "there is simply no substitute for the printed word" to inform and

comment on current events, radio and television ‘form a part of our market place ot news and views.” “Where local newspaper monopolies exist, broadcast -Stations can offer some variety of voices within a community,” he said. “All the more reason, therefore, for the subcommittee to consider the extent and effect of crossownership by newspapers of broadcast stations." “Not Necessarily 'Evil” He said such ownership “is not necessarily evil,” and may be the means of keeping a.< competitive newspaper alive. But he said it

also could act to block “the free flow of news and ideas’’ if the single newspaper in a community the only broadcast station. Celler, in his opening statement, emphasized his intention to restrict the investigation to the economics of the industry. “I have said before and I repeat here and now, we shall shun any form of censorship like the very plague, nor will we in any way undertake to judge the content of any newspaper,” he said. “It is the purpose of these hearings to find ways to protect, and if need be, expand our free market place tor the exchange of news and ideas.” Celler said “our concern is with the proper application of the antitrust laws to the preservation of newspaper competition and out free press.” "Where practices have developed which raise questions under the antitrust laws, the subcom. mittee will consider whether these practices tend to promote or destroy newspaper competition.” Celler said. “Where the survival of newspa-

pers appears to require it," he said, "limited antitrust exemptions may be considered.” Daily Newspapers Decrease Celler said he wanted to know if concentration was "good,” bad or of no consequence,” or inevitable under existing circumstances, and if certain industry practices were unreasonable restraints of trade and whether they should be exempted from the antitrust laws. While newspaper circulation has increased faster than population in the last 50 years, he noted the number of daily newspapers has decreased from 2,200 in 1909 to 1,760 at present. Celler said there were 689 cities with separately owned and published, editorially independent daily newspapers in 1909 and 52 today. “Ours is a constructive purpose,” Celler said. “We seek to determine the causes for the decline in the number of newspapers and newspaper competition, to explore the problems of the newspaper business which have produced so widespread a pattern of local newspaper monopoly, and to inquire what remedial action, if any, is needed to preserve newspaper competition where it still exists and to foster its emergence where monopoly now prevails.’’ Look Into “Cost Squeese” Celler said it was the subcommittee’s intention to look into the “cost squeeze” on newspapers, the effect of television on newspaper revenues and chain ownership. . "We shall consider too whether the concentration of ownership of the daily press has in fact diminished the variety of news and views, for there is distinguished authority which holds it has not,” he said. The hearings started after more than a year of research by subcommittee aides. Scheduled to testify were witnesses from the newspaper industry, government agencies and associated businesses. Celler has said particular attention will be paid to the effect of newspaper mergers, cross-owner-ship of papers and broadcast facilities and newspaper business practices. He has suggested that there might be sufficient reason shown in‘the hearings to, amend the federal antitrust laws to permit certain practices which now may appear to be in conflict with them. Serving with Celler on the antitrust subcommittee are Democratic Reps. Peter S. Rodino Jr., N.J., Byron Rogers, Colo., Harold Donohue, Mass., Jack Brooks, Tex, Herman Toll, Pa., and Robert Kastenmeier, Wis. The Republican members are Reps. William McCulloch, Ohio, William E. Miller, N.Y., , George Meader, Mich., and William C. Cramer, Fla —

Temperatures simmered to highs of 73 at Evansville and Louisville, 68 at Cincinnati, 64 at Indianapolis. 55 at Lafayette, 53 at Fort Wayne and 43 at South Bend. Colder temperatures were expected momentarily. The Indianapolis top was the warmest reading in the Hoosier capital since last Dec. 2. It came within five degrees of the all-time record for March 12. While readings in the upper 50s and low 60s prevailed late Tuesday night, the Weather Bureau issued an advisory that severe thunderstorms and possibly a tornado might occur in the central part of the state extending as far north as Fort Wayhe. A report# was received of a possible funnel cloud around 10 p.m. about 20 miles west of Martinsville, but apparently it never touched the earth. Rainfall for the 24-hour period ending at 7 a.m. today included Indianapolis .45, South Bend .38, Fort Wayne .11, Lafayette .09. Overnight lows ranged from 34 at South Bend to 50 at Evansville and 54 at Louisville.

Occasional light rain or drizzle today may turn to light snow or rain mixed with snow. Snow flurries may occur tonight. More precipitation—snow and rain central and south—is expected Friday.
