WASHINGTON, Apr, 16—This seems to be the government's inning in the old game between newspapers seeking information about the public's business and government officials trying to keep them from getting it, Some rather Impressive evidence has been assembled by the American Newspaper Publishers Association, For example: The FBI in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

impose secrecy on “unclassified technical data on advanced industrial developments, production knowhow and technology, strategie equipment, special installa. tions.” “Unclassified” means nonsecret. State Level as Bad On a state level, the picture Is as bad. : Many legislatures last year were flooded by biHs aimed at bringing newspapers to heel. ‘Methods ranged from proposed restrictions on advertising revenues and rates to . rigged libel laws, One bill would have punished newspapers which criticize politicians. In Miami, a reporter was punched in the nose by a state senator who objected to answering questions about a pending bill, The senator's colleagues voted to bar the reporter for the rest of the session. { An Alabama governor had one {of his flunkigs seize the camera of a p pher who snapped him at football game. Two Georgia lensmen were {cursed and abused by a sheriff for trying to take a picture of {a murderer. The police chief in Cambridge, Mass., took offense at a kidding story and evicted the press room occupants. Over the door he put a sign, “Vacant. Out, Bums.” And and Ogdensburg, N. Y. mayor proposed a city ordinance to make newspapers give intelligence tests to prospective reporters. A story had hurt his feelings.
Another Instance
a more skilful pressure group— the professional welfare workers. Congress repealed the law denying rellef money to states in which the public could look at relief rolls. But the walfare pros virtually nullified the repeal by ther lobbying in the states. Bensitive” relief applicants might be frightened away by the possibility of public disclosure,

Government Gaining In Hiding Public News

they argued. Therefore, deadbeats should not.be exposed. The welfare pros pursued other goals, In several states, progress was made toward limiting or prohibiting access to information about birth, marriages and deaths, Publicity sometimes shows up bastardies, shotgun weddings and deaths from causes relatives would rather not talk about.”To protect the {illegitimate child, it is purposed to shield the philandering father. However—bigamy would be easier to get away with, too. The social workers cut freedom of information in still another field. More states passed laws forbidding publicity about juvenile criminals, In itself, this is no handicap to newspapers. Generally, they're eager to protect the child innocently caught in the toils of the law.
Effects Cited
But the direction of such legislation is to bar-—not publicity about juvenile criminals alone— but publicity about juvenile crime, and, still worse, about what juvenile authorities are doing, or are not doing, to combat it. There is an essential absurdity about legislation which regards a physically matured killer as a child on the day before his 17th birthday-—if that's the particular dividing line chosen—and a responsible adult 24 hours later, In such matters, the Founding Fathers were willing to trust the discretion of the free press. The censors trust only themselves. Internationally, there are three proposed treaties on freedom of information, transmission of news, and universal human rights which, if ratified by this country, could limit the Bills of Rights. Critics say the proposed treaties have two things In common— noble aims and trick words. They are loaded with authoriy for foreign countries to interfere with the gathering of news, Nationally, the ANPA is disturbed by President Truman's
