CENSOR'S POWER TO BE CUT
To Control Only Military and Diplo-
matte News in France.

Paris, Oct 2l.-The committee OF the
Chamber of Deputies on Civil and
Criminal Legislation has examined the
report Of Paul Meunier, member OF
the Chamber. who attacked the French
censorship as a limitation of political
liberty. The committee decided that
the system Of compelling newspapers
to submit articles 10 the censor before
publishing them should be confined
strictly to military and diplomatic
news. and that the law passed last
wear should be modified accordingly.
The committee took the view that
infractions of the new law might al.
WAYS afford occasion for seizure OF
newspapers, without reference TO legal
prosecution. Administrative penalties
under the law of ls49 will be aban-
doned. so that suspension OF news
paper by executive decision will be
impossible. The text OF bill en-
bodying these features will be drawn
up next week.
